Turns out that aggressive recon is still one of the best abilities in the game, and that the character is still the best 2* support in the game. True healing changes a lot of things, but it doesnt change obw as a staple in the 2* roster.

I honestly don't know why, they HAD to have been making tons of money before making all of these unpopular decisions. Dang whales!!!! They just had a sale. They should be pooping money at this point, so if it's purely for a short term cash grab, they timed it poorly. However, I think it's the opposite actually. They just made a buttload of cash from the sale (or I'd assume they did anyway), so immediately after that, they put in changes that would lead to a short term reduction in sales. By the time the next sale is on (a July 4th one wouldn't surprise me in spite of having just done one), people will have adjusted or quit, or they'll be new enough to not remember how it used to be. Keep in mind, many of these games are looking to monetize the players within the first couple of weeks, or even the first few days. They have a high turnover of players. There are players playing now who probably don't know that there used to be cover packs with a guaranteed featured hero. Or that after that went away, the featured rate was a lot better than now (4-6%, used to be like 25%). Sure people will quit. People would have quit anyway, it'll just be some different people quitting. There will continue to be new players. New players who start knowing only True Healing™, and won't be building specifically to take advantage of OBW/Spidey. They'll be useful but not overpowered characters to them.

I think it's an elaborate ploy to get other people to use say, Moonstone, and thus weakening the competition.

True healing changes a lot of things, but it doesnt change obw as a staple in the 2* roster. Look, I'm not despondent over the change. In fact, it generally benefits me since I have a 44 character roster and have gotten over the 3* transition hump. I'll confess to a little poorly considered hyperbole, but it's unfair to not recognize that it's a significant blow to the character. Aggressive recon may be one of the best abilities in the game, but AGD was one of the most IMPORTANT, particularly for 2* players.

But it isnt an unfair blow to the character because shes still a top tier 2* character relative to all of the other 2* characters. The main issue i had with your original post (and a ton of similar posts on the forum) is that this isnt about a character being overnerfed, its about prologue healing keeping 2*s players more competitive with 3* players, and that being taken away from people. You need to focus on that since what youre complaining about (character balancing) just isnt the cause of the main problem that is going on right now, which is how to allow 2* to still be able to progress into 3* reasonably.
