New theory. The bottom portion of the card is actually a deformed reflection of the above image. The split black and white thing is actually a deformed silhouette of the central purple "orb" thing, and its... 4 pronged encasing. Theres also a faint purple outline at the bottom, suggesting this card is depicting a rift, a gate where the top is the architecture, or a regular portal like Yoru. I also interpreted the "reflection" as a pair of hands, maybe a tiger, there are very striking triangular protrusions coming from the "reflection." Initially, I thought the "orb" resembled the religious symbol in the church in the practice map, but I dont think it is, or at least not religious. Instead depicting cosmos or some energy, as there is a white outline of a circle with a ring around it, similar to Saturn. But it feels weird to have another "portal-y" character like Yoru. The color scheme reminds me of Reyna, but I'm not sure. The Savannah depicted in the background is very conncrete, a...

That's actually intentional, because they don't see her as a healer, and she's not labeled as a healer. She's a Sentinel, and her primary role is to stop & slow pushes, which she does an incredible job at. The healing is a nice bonus, but honestly, I never thought her heal was that important to her kit. Its the wall, slow orbs, and resurrection that really define her imo, and with just those abilities, she's already super strong. Think about this: she's the only character in the game that can place a barrier down or slow movement, literally no other character can do that. And yet people, at least in Beta, just chose her because she was a heal bot and healing is always good.

I actually like the fact that they nerfed her heal, because that helped to reinforce the fact that's she not a healer or a support, she's a Sentinel.

The problem I see is that the same system that helps you get smurfs to their correct rank is hurting players with low MMR who are winning more games than losing and being punished for it and only getting a slight MMR increase on wins and a large MMR loss on losses.

We shouldn’t be punished just because the system thinks we’re worse than what we’re playing. Why can’t getting to a specific rank actually mean something? We’re climbing the ranks only to be pushed back down because we don’t “belong there”.

“If we just let you stomp on silvers, then stomp on golds, then stomp on plats, then stomp on diamonds, in order to figure out your immortal(or whatever rank) it would cause ranked chaos. Stomping on a silver doesn't prove you are plat”

Yes it does. This is what we want. It proves it if I beat silver then golds and stay in plat. I belong in plat. Not just plat but it applies to all ranks

“This system also helps us combat boosting, weather players playing your account or group boosting. It helps us get smurfs out of low ranks quicker, etc. At the end of the day you won't improve stomping silvers, and those silvers won't have a good time getting stomped. “

I don’t need to get Better if I’m already playing at a higher level. by playing people above my rank but same skill level your slowing my process to my true rank.
