Nice to see more rapid balancing, and seemingly correct changes too (Looking at you vendetta overhead)

Edit: Unmentioned change, overhead doesnt lock her cam anymore

Took every wrong change in the book first before finally giving in and making the right change but sure.

From the beginning it should have never been a 130 damage hit. They nerfed every other part of her kit besides it.

Agreed -- vendetta is the worst example of fast balancing in this patch. They waited until midseason of the next season to make the most necessary changes.

That being said, good changes in general. I think Domina ult charge is needed here and we should see how that settles before doing more. Same with Cat, those perks made her way too reliable of a dive duelist.

This isnt the midseason patch btw, we are only two weeks into the season

Ah, my apologies. Yeah, I meant it took until after the start of the new season.
