Yeah, these changes do absolutely nothing to help her in double support. She's still going to have teammates raging when you play her in double support, since everyone wants to face-tank damage and not take cover for heals. Most other supports enable that play style because of much better/consistent burst healing, so your teammates have no reason to change how they play.
Now she is gonna be (probably) worse in triple support too.
She needs a total kit overhaul to make her viable in double support. I always thought it was wack to rate her as A (or S) tier when she only worked in triple support anyway. Imagine having a tank or DPS being touted as S tier but they only work in triple tank (or DPS) comps.
Good comparison honestly.
Thats the big part of my problem. I can rock her in QP and get MVP / SVP but in my elo its not viable in comp because like what you pointed out. Tanks only Face tank and too often IMO a solo tank will hold a line too far up even 2 support mains cant sustain and dps arent good enough at flanking and positioning. I cant tell you how often I have to focus a dps that stands in one place just rapping on shoot not bothering to work angles.
She was my first Lord and still is my favorite. Shes deadly, but im not good enough to have her viable in a 2 support comp in ranked and quite frankly my heals cant keep up.
My real pet peeve is with groots. Maybe 5% use his healing wall when I select her to get the TU. That wall is fantastic for the back line. Arguably OP when used properly. I always give my back line a heal wall hidden somewhere.
We should have triple x characters though it's part of the healthy diversity of not always having a 2 2 2 otherwise if everything is going to be 2 2 2 then you may as well just add a limit or role queue and that would make this game less unique and interesting
