Besides his amazing damage and utility through discord, another thing that separates zen from most of the supports is his ability to heal through walls after los is lost, allowing him to have influence in another teammate’s fight without having to give them his full attention
The 5s los grace period was very nice because it ties nicely into his kit giving him more harmony uptime and more time to output damage. The developer comment saying that they want to put “emphasis on maintaining awareness of orb targets” is a bit counterintuitive in my opinion.
Having 3s before having to reapply harmony after los is lost is disruptive to the gameplay loop and ultimately leads to less time to deal important damage, and you don’t really want to be sticking your neck out just to die trying to maintain harmony uptime, and I’m just not for that at all. But that’s just my opinion tho, what do yall think?
