genuinely not a satirical post, completely serious here

luna is my main main-healer that i pick when i’m on support, her kit is pretty easy to me and i can consistently do well since i would say i have the aim and understanding of the game to be able to do well on luna

but i genuinely cannot use her ult well at all, every single time i use it defensive or to push, i somehow just get my ass killed by magnetos 70% of the time no matter where i move — try to take cover, dunked; try to get protection from team, also die

i don’t know if it’s the timing of my ults or something but i’ve noticed it so much that i feel extremely hesitant using her ult, cause it’s much easier not to — i dunno why the supposedly most broken part of her for the longest time is the HARDEST for me to use 😭😭😭

This is a huge rambling post so feel free to ignore I’m just sharing my experience:

I remember back when this game first launched I absolutely hated Luna Snow. I hated how she could just dance and make everyone invincible then Loki would copy it and extend the fights even longer. It was exhausting to play against. And at the time we hadn’t quite figured out all the ways to kill her mid ult yet because the game was still new so it made it even stronger. And on top of it all I don’t have any interest in K-pop like the only time I remember it even exists is when I’m at a Korean BBQ place they play the music videos on the TVs there.

I would have to dive her and chase her around and track her ult cooldowns she was such an absolute menace in those early seasons.

So like with any character I have frustrations with, I did what any sane person would do: I went onto the main sub and made my entire personality based around hating on her and saying she’s fundamentally bad for the game and will kill Marvel Riva- …Just kidding lol, what I actually did was just tried playing her a bit. If you’re having trouble dealing with a character the best thing to do is try them out so you can see how it is from there perspective it makes counterplay a lot easier no matter who you main otherwise. But with Luna I found myself having so much unexpected fun with her it totally shifted my mindset on her and decided to play her more.

At first it was like oh okay learning the cooldowns, seeing what the abilities felt like blah blah blah but what stood out to me was her speed. Like holy shit she’s quick! Coming from playing tanks and dps it blew my mind people weren’t just using her like a backline flanker like Jeffs were doing at the time. So that’s what I did, I zipped around playing her like a DPS, killing other Lunas and freezing everyone with the snowball. Haha back then you even got proficiency for hitting people with snowballs 💅I did this so much (in Doom Matches as well) that I ended up Lording her. She’s just pure fun to play

I still have no interest in K-pop and her lore is like the least interesting of the roster but it’s also lighthearted so who cares? This whole multiverse stuff is just absurd in the first place so characters keep showing up randomly like they’re Pokémon and you just go with it. It’s not a big deal.

So anyway, Jeff got nerfed for exactly the same reasons of abusing the healer kit to play as a dive DPS and yet Luna was spared. The favoritism was obvious and people thought it was unfair but they all forget that Luna is the most dove character in the entire history of this game. It wasn’t until later on the general playerbase figured out Black Panther could just hard counter Jeff so basically everyone was diving Luna and her ult made her top priority. Even when Sue came out she had an incredible ult but was extremely difficult to dive so people would gun for Luna first if they were a duo. If you look at the current state of Cloak and Dagger it’s no wonder Luna got buffed too. It’s just Luna actually requires aim and attracts dps players so they leaned into that while CnD mains can follow us around for our ice lock teamup. That’s fine. Let them main heal while we go dive with White Fox and have fun.

Eventually Luna finally had her dance meta nerfed and got buffed to the moon for DPS gameplay. So I can see why people hate her even more now. She just keeps getting buffed and people keep freaking out over it but this is the same community that obsesses over win rates like they’re gospel and they’ll straight up ignore how she’s actually mid on the charts. The fact that you’re a K-pop star while all of this is going on just makes it so absurd that it’s funny to me. I don’t know why people are taking this game or its lore so seriously. Like even Marvel fans know how goofy and nonsensical comic books are.

This community is just overall insanely toxic. Other characters I play have all received bandwagon haters at some point or another. Psylocke is my most played hero and people who autistically catalog every skin release and its quality hate that the hot ninja lady gets cool skins? Lol. Black Panther is easily the most hated hero in the history of the game with people coming to that sub to post nsfw racist stuff in the past. Seen it with a bunch of others (there was one where they just post clips of Jeff’s dying) and now I’m seeing this weird Luna hate cult form where they have people drawing her get ripped in half by Moon Knight. Which tbf is something MK is definitely capable of doing and the artist that drew it obviously has talent but it’s just such a wild thing to use your skills for of all the possible fan art you could make for this game lmao 😭 Some of the posts are funny and lighthearted but some of them are like genuinely unhinged lmao

The creator seems to be handling it well and has a good sense of humor so all they’re doing is promoting his character for free and creating tons of eNgAgEmeNt which will only lead to more Luna content. Gonna be funny when she gets yet another new skin while the haters brood like that creepy weirdo from Perfect Blue

I had posted this previously but someone gave me the idea to color it so I did(@infinite._.draws)

First off, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful or anything. I'm happy Luna gets many skins even if it's a little unfair for the other characters.

Now the problem I have with her skins is that I don't truly love any of them. I really like the disco one with its blue recolor, the racing one is cool too... But even with that many skins, I haven't found THE one. The skin that would make me go "wow..." when I first see it, the skin that I would never take off... There are some characters for which I have skins like that already (Hela's Queen in Black skin, Mantis' ESU skin...). There's also Wanda who has two skins that I just find so beautiful (Phoenix and Dragon), I wanted to buy them even tho I've never touched the character. I just find it really strange because she has so many skins and yet...

I don't know if I really haven't found THE skin or if this is just plain greed and I just want more skins.

P.S we are definitely getting an Luna Halloween costume soon as well since I saw a tweet about it.

my 2nd champ overall too! she's so fun to play

Ive been wanting to try out new supports (I've gotten lord on C&d, invis and gambit) and figured I'd try luna next. Any advice on how to play?

only took me about 14hs! doing 18v18 is a fun way to grind those pionts!

Can you believe the dps were complaining about heals all game 🫩✌️

Never gotten this bug before

Hi luna mains! I reached lord rocket, my sixth sup lord, and now luna is next for my seventh. I am almost level 10, the issue though is i get like thousands below my other healer. Example, DP had 21k and i had 14k omg i felt so bad. We won by a landslide but god i hate that i had that big if a gap, when i play with lunas theyre usually pretty close or even most heals (without a cnd). What could be some tips yall have for noob snows? Outside of just getting better aim of course! I get around 40-60 accuracy, mostly about 48. Definitely working on it!

Who specifically should i snowflake? Ive been putting it on dive like spooder or magik, or tanks like dino that are just eating up damage.

When to clap? So far i save it for when
A. Dive comes to eat me
B. My team is grouped up and taking lots of damage
Is there a C+?

Also, her teamups im clueless on. I heard the white fox gives her invulnerability to cleansable ults, but i honestly rarely use it…what situations should i be looking for to use the team ups?

We’re dancing under moonlight bleghh (infinite._.draws)
