Overwatch 2 Mythbusters - ILLARI Edition

Yo my bad on her name pronunciation I didn't get the accent right but ill- ee - ari is.. sorta right? She says her own name in the origin story and I was basing it off that 🤔 https://youtu.be/LBI_uHJD-Xo?t=121

You have awoken a mischievous demon inside now that I know I can block Rein’s charge with the pylon

The videos about light level affecting Illari’s damage are funny as hell

Myth: Can Sunstruck be triggered by self-inflicted damage, such as Pharah damaging herself with her own rockets?

here's a question - if you were in an experimental game with no cooldowns and you spam illari's knockback ability , will she turn into a helicopter from another players perspective?

Can we all agree Torb should be able to hammer the healing pylon to heal it.

Also for Symmetra, if the healing pylon is ALREADY OUT she can use her teleporter and it will move along. Same with how sym sets up turret bombs. Illari doesnt have to JUST throw it into the TP for it to work :))

Illari is from Peru and speaks Spanish and Quechua (as you can hear both in her voice lines). In Quechua the pronunciation of 'll' is like the 'lli' in the English pronunciation of "biLLIon" or "miLLIon" compared to the Spanish "y" sound for "ll"; therefore, KarQ and those pronouncing it like "Illiari" are pretty close. The actual phonetic pronunciation would be "eeL-YAH-rri". She also says her own name in the Quechua pronunciation in her official Origin Story video at 2:01 for those who haven't watched it. So all good KarQ! edit: fixed example of phonetic pronunciation with the help of @Aqua-cu1vv

I think I saw in a match that the healing pylon won’t try to heal someone that’s been hit by Ana’s nade, even if they’re the lowest health percentage. It will heal someone else until the nade wears off, so no wasted heals. Maybe test that one out?

Videos like these are really important cuz I'm too lazy to test stuff myself and legitimately thought you could heal through barriers 💀

For a niche case, it would be good to know how long a pulse of healing from the pylon will follow its target for once released. Like if a Sombra gets pulsed at but tp's away before it heals, does the pulse follow her back to her translocator location? Does the heal go through walls having already been locked on and deployed?

The pronunciation “iyyari”

I have found a really fun side effect. If Doomfist is low on HP and goes into his ultimate, the Healing Pylon will still target him while he is in is ultimate. That means you can see the exact position of Doomfist, because the Healing Pylon is targeting him.

4:44 If the pylon does have a hurtbox, then it should prevent dva bomb. I believe your set-up along the wall revealed illari feet, thus not having any effect. If it was fully on the ground, and you crouch behind it (or smaller character models tracer/ana) could feasibly survive

Man that healing interaction with kitsune is odd. You would think that the resource would get used up faster. Not like you get more ammo in primary fire.

2 fun illari facts 1: her pylon can not be place on the push robots wall it just falls off 2:zarya bubbles cleanse her ult

I think that actually would be cool if sunlight did increase her dmg but I can see why it would be weirdly balanced.

Absolutely amazing that you included Motion gaming’s short!

Illeeee-ari

It doesn't have much to do with the video, but as an indigenous peruvian, I'm extremely thankful you make the effort to pronounce Illari's name correctly as much as you can :'D 💛
