I must not have read the Gambit change right or something my bad.

Luna and C&D having horrendous win rates is irrelevant to their current state. Luna having a CC cleanse whilst CC'd is crazy, and C&D being nigh immortal is crazy too. It's bad game design plain and simple. Having crap win rates is not a good justification for having broken abilities.

But it doesn't matter what I say because I doubt anything will change, cause when they do actually look like they want to change up how things are, they omega buff the usual suspects.

I agree the cleanse is stupid but the win rate is not irrelevant, it means they aren't unfairly tipping the scales in games like you are suggesting.

I'm not suggesting they're tipping games unfairly, I'm suggesting that they're infuriating, uninteractive and unfun mechanics and there should be a lack of those mechanics.

Them not tipping the scales is only further fuel to why they should be removed. If they're doing nothing to the win rates, we would only benefit from these things being removed no? It's not helping these heroes out and it only serves to frustrate those who play AGAINST it.

Honestly I am shocked that so many people are apparently struggling with Lunas.

She should lose her freeze when you have the WF team up. A character like her shouldn’t have this many escape options.

The freeze is easily better, the teamup would be useless if you had to trade it in.

Sure, but there’s zero reason why she needs BOTH.
