Seagull expects new hero Illari to be one of the strongest healers in Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller warned players that the game’s newest support hero, Illari, might be especially powerful. After the previous new hero, Lifeweaver, was underwhelming, Keller said the team wasn’t making the same mistake twice, and based on former Overwatch League pro Seagull’s first impressions, they certainly didn’t.
Testing out Illari shortly after the start of season six today, Seagull immediately knew that the Peruvian hero was going to be a force just by running around the training room. Testing out abilities on bots, Seagull could tell that the healing and damage values of her Solar Rifle and Healing Pylon were nothing to scoff at.
