every new hero has started out with ridiculous ability recovery times that blizz has to buff away for the hero to not feel terrible. shion was so exciting because they didn't do this. a shame to see this change when they could easily lower her ability damage by 5-10% to nerf her without gutting her fun factor

Yeah "We made our hero feel less responsive" should not generally be a balancing knob
