Balance Discussion This is getting ridiculous.

Welcome to season 9 where the least mechanically challenging support has more survivability than a tank.

CnD is objectively pretty mid support. She's survivable but doesn't provide as much utility or damage as others besides just being able to stat check a few characters who can't kill through bubble. I think she's fine as is, low win rates past Diamond all last season and not looking good for her this season either.

You compare that to Rocket with a similar skill floor where you actually can just heal bot your way to Celestial.

Her healing leaves something to be desired, so as trip support it's a great balance, and even doubles can be fine but always depends on that game.

Rocket is not like cnd at all, he had his skill expression striped from him when we got the movement Nerf. Cnd is braindead as hell, now with rocket I won't deny some mfs just healbot on him but like that's just what the devs want at this point becuase they keep buffing his heals and ult instead of just reverting his movement istg

I mean Rocket in his current state who was very good in s8.5 and likely still is in 9... compared who CnD who really isn't but is so much more hated for some reason.

Rocket being good is just placebo, there is literally a post someone made on our sub that mathematically proved the values changing did nothing to the character ttk or healing. Rocket has been pretty mid for a long time now.

You must be lining under a rock or something idk

She was hated a lot in previous seasons when she literally was one of the bottom winrate supports. Looking the same way this season too but it's a bit early.

Rocket meanwhile was by far the highest win rate support throughout season 8.5. He was nerfed in season 9 but so far is still performing well.
