Fun factor: High (flying red thingie is allways awesome, valve could make some fun skins for that)
But dammit, it feels like rocket barrage + call down is more damage than luna with eclipse + luscent beam.

It's more consistent, spread out damage, and is not situational whether there are creeps / summons around. It always does its damage.

It doesn't have the 'lol u diving me mate? good luck bro' factor that eclipse does though.

I don't get the commotion.
Gyro is fine. At least I don't think he should even be considered for a nerf.
He has 1 lackluster skill, homing missile. I don't think anyone will disagree that you don't need to max homing missile and you could get away with only putting 1 point in it.
While flak cannon gives him an attack against everything in range, its limited to 6 attacks per cooldown.

Just a note. I think we've seen luna die down a LOT in china. G-league finals, both teams quite prominent with Luna but she wasn't picked or banned ONCE during the entire series I believe.
Also, although rocket barrage can do great damage, it puts you at extreme risk because of the range. And considering gyro has no escape mechanisms and without bkb early on you can get focused easily.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing her banned in second phase along with LD but I was feverish at the time.

A skill not requiring more than 1 point makes it a pretty good skill in my book. It's not as if I'm arguing that he's broken. However, Homing missile is far from a downside.

Putting more points into homing in some 1v1 matchups is very strong. Its debatable if it's worth it over the extra levels in flak/barrage (his farming abilities), but in pub games its very strong. My comment is that having the option of a strong laning ability like that is part of his strength, and his versatility.

The thing about luna is that its not just the individual hero, its the luna based lineup that's strong, and in every case in which a team's first 3 picks conformed to the basic structure of one that could use luna effectively during the G-League finals, she was banned in the second phase.
This is part of my continuing point on the matter, heroes like luna are strong as a part of a lineup build around them and, unlike things like bat, mag or nyx which are good regardless, thus we don't see any FP lunas anymore, which also helps explain why other teams in the west have generally been unsuccessful with her when they just randomly chuck her into a normal lineup in place of a first position without much thought on the lineup as a whole.

iG's ban/pick skill is insane, that game2 line up still impressed me deeply. While na/eu picks are just....amateurish/cute, being cute/trollish is fine but some line ups are really mind boggling.

Gyro needs a nerf imo. He scales way too well throughout the game.

Should just scale back his flak cannon range a bit, it is sorta silly atm how long it is

OK pathing is still really weird. If you spam click somewhere your hero just cannot decide between two paths and just goes nowhere sometimes. And am i the only one feeling the game still feels unresponsive? Selecting and microing stuff is just... clumsy and weird.

Yeah the 800 to 1000 increase was pretty humorous.

There is no incentive to commend or be commended at the moment.

Lol hell no. I love it when the other team, who just got done stomping your face in start asking for commends. Why would any sensible person oblige them?
