Have you already gotten one of those funky matchmaking games where one team is full ranged dps vs a more normal team comp? My problem with feather ward isn't even some of the stupid LBs, it's just how strong melees are at a top level, period. It may not be the case in lower leagues, but at least on my DC, they're absolutely obnoxious, and not just for some controversial LBs.
I do feel that the opener could play better in the mode, but someone having to bit the bullet, guard, gain some time and waste enemy CC and first eager bursts into it, then going away with almost full HP remaining, purify if required (with the added 5s CC invuln from the cleanse), is hardly a big problem. Just elixir once you're out, and come back in.
edit because somebody ninja posted in between: I was not replying to the post above mine.
