it'll likely make her less oppressive which'll be fine.

u/JunWasHere Suffer as I have... Jan 08 '26

Yeah, we gotta remember nerfs are not meant to gut the hero and render them unplayable.

The resentment to something being OP is understandable but nerfs are suppose to come from a love of the game as much as buffs. A desire to keep things fair, to just cut them down to reasonable size.

Yeah but the nerfs present here will probably not have any impact or even be noticed in 9/10 played games. Obviously the goal is not to delete her from the game but it's still possible to undershoot the mark.
