Now, following her most recent nerf with the launch of North Star, it seems as the developers have finally achieved their goal. At least in the pro-tier leagues, her pick-rate has dropped by three-quarters, making her a somewhat rare sight in the attacking lineup.
Perhaps more peculiar than this is that Iana has seen a fall in pick rates in NA. This is largely because the three Iana mains from Stage 1 -- VertcL, Beaulo, and njr -- have moved off of that role and onto Sledge, Flores, and Hibana respectively.

It is also worth noting that Lion has one of the highest banned pick rates of any operator in the competitive scene. At the Paris Majors in August (which G2 won), he had a whopping 63.9% ban rate, being beaten only be defender Mira at 71.9%. Considering the second highest ban rate for an attacker was Glaz at only 39.1%, it shows just how problematic Lion has become since his introduction.
That means the below picks take into account the current pro league ban on Lion (who's currently being reworked) and the three-month ban on the newest operators from Operation Wind Storm (Nomad and Kaid) who are on their trial evaluation.
Based on the data the developer has, particularly when it comes to pick and win rates for operators, it'll be making a balance pass that'll hit attackers and defenders. The names include Finka, IQ, Blackbeard, Glaz, Twitch, Jackal, Frost, and Dokkaebi.
It seems Ubisoft decided to make the changes owing to his pick rate in the pro league. On the other hand, players say that the change was absolutely unwarranted and are angry why Ubisoft makes decisions taking into consideration only the pro league players. 2ff7e9595c
