Some advice for playing Luna?

[Klischeeemo]

I´m currently maining Luna Snow and I am a decent healer. In a comp match I usually get around 10-13k heals which is alright, but could be better. Do you guys maybe have some advice for the healer playstyle in general or Luna in perticular? For example, I never seem to understand who to give my E Ability. I just usually slap it on a tank or a flanking DPS.

(And yes I know the Mouse Wheel thing for her ult thanks ^^)

Watch some Luna guides, put her Q on mouse scroll and spam it is so much easier to get dmg boost and heals like that

Why not just press Q?

I just give her E to a melee DPS or flyer tbh

If your team isn't dying too much, aside from mistakes or bad positioning, healing can be whatever works. I can do anywhere from 9k to 30k so it really depends on how your team is pkaying and how their team is.

Your E can be moved around as much as you need it to. Running two tanks with both taking damage? Pop it on one. Have a flyer that your other healer can't easily get? Pop it on them.

Luna can also do some crazy damage so in slow combat moments or when the enemy team is running up, throw a couple shots out.

One advice i can give you that i often explot against Mantis and Luna on enemy team - work on Ult discipline. Often bad healers will pop their ult at even miniscule chance of dying or if any ults are used on them. But proper use of ultimate should be to counter push and win fights, not just a reaction to any risk. Ofcourse it's better to use it, than waiting for a perfect opportunity, so you can start charging next one, but sometimes, as DPS or Tank is will specifically target Luna\Mantis if i know my team will have ultimates in a second, so when we have strong ultimates, there is a greater chance of success.

So work on surviving encounters against someone going super aggressive on you, without popping ults. Practice landing freeze, general dodging and use of cover, where medkits are if you are out of healing.

Also yeah, amount of healing doesn't matter. What actually matter is who gets healing. If DPS dies like 6 times that's just ~1500 health loss, but it's 6 times he died and didn't contributed with damage or pressure. So keeping a wider picture in your head, instead of just "heal tanks" helps a lot.

Shield whoever you think will get more use out of it. If you have a good flanker on team, just pocket him. If tanks doing numbers on frontline - maybe giving him an edge will help push harder.
