Joy – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Joy is countered by heroes that can restrict mobility skills, such as Minsitthar and Khufra, due to her kit's heavy reliance on her 2nd Skill.
Strong against
Joy is strong against heroes that lack mobility or rely on CC, like Xavier and Vexana, because she has an easier time hitting them with her 2nd Skill while being immune to their CC's.
