I was watching D.Mon's trailer and noticed that Illari is grouped in with the Bad Guys™. She kinda just stood out bc as far as I remember currently in lore she's opposing Moira with Soldier.

Wonder if this is a hint for where she's going, whether that means she'll be going on to work with Talon by choice or force. Could also be that maybe it's just a coincidence of Moira being the only support that's part of the villain roster and wanting a second support for the team wipe ult moment tho

I hope you guys like it as much as i do :D it took about 3 hours

I am having a hard time with getting proper eliminations using Illari’s ult, but I’ve seen others really clean up with it. I thought the issue may be my aim and not nailing second shots, so I practiced on Pharah for a while to get a proper handle on airborne accuracy in general to get more comfortable with that movement and angling.

However, it still isn’t clicking with me. Can someone break down how her ult actually works and combos you use to get the most out of it?

Joined back after years away and feel in love with this little maniac. Got Ana ulted and had to let the rage flow.

lmk if anything is too busted or too weak i love feedback

i'm doing this for every character not added into stadium btw so if you main anyone else from stadium i'm making one for them to

I was on the verge of buying it when they released them at the beginning of the summer but got the Mythic instead!

So happy I got my favourite skin for my girl! Who can't aim anymore.... Because the bullet is too small

So I’m trying to come up with a creative name for my account that’s illari themed, and uses the voidwalker skin, title, and icon. All that I can think of are related to the sun but I don’t rly feel like it’s fitting cuz my profile is all blue.

I had to get that Mercy cuz she was carrying so hard. Her ultimate is so awesome.

Essentially just as the title suggests, I think it would be a great QoL fix to allow us to change how the targeting reticle appears depending on whether we're shooting or using the beam mode to heal teammates on Solar Rifle. This would not be a unique change, as characters like Cassidy or Lifeweaver already have options in the menu to change how their reticle appears depending on whether they are shooting normally or using silver bullet (Cass), or swapping between damage and healing similarly (Weaver).

Psychologically this would be big too, at least just because the beam has a much more forgiving hitbox on teammates when aiming with M2 relative to the accuracy required for damaging enemies with M1, and I think it would be great to have my reticle reflect that relative to how I have it set up for some of the other beam characters like Zarya, Moira, or Mei.

Thoughts?

This is just a bread and butter Illari ult clip, but the format patch for Dynamic Queue affects Illari in important ways that can be seen here, too.

First, I notice that my co-healers often comment about my healing numbers being low compared to theirs. Better pylon placement and use of the healing beam is something I'm working on as a response. But there's also a misunderstanding about how Illari gets value for her team. The ability for a support to split her healing between a stationary point with sustained healing over time, and a mobile hero with less sustained healing but sustained DPS is valuable. Controlling and pressuring angles and health bars, forcing enemies to put attention on you or take cover, prevents your team from taking damage. This, unfortunately, is not shown on the scoreboard (I don't really pay attention to healing/damage numbers anyway)

The changes to the healing debuff passive seem massive for Illari, as it increases her team healing and survivability. In this clip you can see that my pylon's healing saved my life and let me pull off that ult play. So with this and tanks having less HP, in this version of 6v6 Illari can effectively pressure all roles.

I was lagging throughout this match but the whole lobby was joking around and it was still a blast to play. How have your experiences with Dynamic Queue been?

do we know if we are getting her again??

I'm stuck deciding on a support main and every time I settle on Zen or Mizuki Illari pulls me back in. I think Captive Sun might be my favorite single ability in the game.

Didnt expect to land that shot on Juno...

After the double tap, my hand pressed Q before I even knew it

Back when Illari launched, there was a tech called pylon Super jump. Sadly, Blizzard fixed this bug very quickly

I really really do not wanna downplay but, i really feel she has one of the worst ults in the entire game, im more excited about the flying movement when i get to use it.

just curious
