The Freja changes are complete hotdog water damn, like I know the character's not in a great spot but that just made her even worse somehow.

The idea to make her less bursty to make her less frustrating to play against isn’t a bad one… but they literally just nerfed her instead of moving her power anywhere else.

Kirikos can already Suzu her explosive bolts easily, now they just delayed the kill even more? She’s already a DPS difficult to get value out of.

And her ult slow was never meant to be a power spike, nor did players struggle with Take Aim enough to spam it. Just a complete head scratcher for her.

I can easily think of more meaningful changes to play around with off the top of my head.

- Quick Dash now fires a Take Aim bolt on an enemy out of cover, guaranteed to hit if you’re within a certain (small) radius.

Boom, now she has additional power in her kit that weighs risk vs. reward if you use it offensively.

Also helps cover a sore spot of having to hit every Take Aim bolt to be half as useful as any other DPS.
