I think it means that you don't have to move directly into THAT specific area before you can place a star?
Example: You are in Astral form in Haven C site defending... usually you need to go directly to mid to place your star in A site because if you flew too high (from C), you might not be able to place your star in A. Now, you might be able to place your star in A even if you are in C if you flew high enough.

i don't like the 4 stars change, i think taking away the ability to stun or pull more than once in the round would've been enough. it just feels like astra would fall out of the meta very fast and they would need to buff her to make her viable again. but that's just first thoughts, would have to see in pro play first.

Why reduce stars.
25 sec too much. 20 sec was more than enough.
This one's fine.
Again too much. 33-38 sec was enough.

Seems like pretty massive nerf. Maybe even too big.

neither affect anyone under the ability anymore.

so this means no more vulnerability after the gravity well, but what does this mean for the nova pulse? they can’t just remove the stun effect.

edit: OR does it mean an ability cast in heaven doesn’t affect hell? i may just be slow

it's the edit option

if you pull or stun heaven, agents in hell won't be affected
