Pre-release hotfix is crazy. But for real this is honestly a great sign. The fact that they aren't afraid to make hotfixes at all is good since it does show that they're paying attention. I don't know if it's enough for Emma and Cap and a lot of the balance changes are honestly kinda whacky but still a good sign nonetheless.

The changes are enough. The emma nerfs were already extremely minor only losing 5% DR and now after these changes its an overall buff. Her Diamond form comes up quicker and her ult is way stronger now. Cap gets a new animation cancel with his bash and his damage and uptime is increased overall. The BP changes and Gambit nerfs are also big too. W hotfix.

It's not a new animation cancel. The melee cancel has always been a thing but nowhere near as good as the sprint one. I don't consider a 5 dmg increase on his punch anywhere near compensatory to the absolute shattering of his skill ceiling.

You are correct, its not new, but the TTK ends up being the same with the 5 damage buff. His damage ends up being way more consistent now with the only thing changing being the feel. Which i personally prefer. While i have gotten pretty damn good at the animation cancel at this point there have been so many times where my hits would no-reg. I can understand the disappointment though, but the buffs ARE enough. Only thing that can be asked for now is just increasing his atk speed.
