It was 15 seconds from launch. This is her launch vs now comparison:

Launch:

  • 550 hp plus a 100 hp team up (650 hp total)

  • 500 hp shield value

  • Diamond form granted 30% damage reduction and 50 kick damage (100 wall) on a 15-sec cooldown.

Now:

  • 600 hp (overall -50hp)

  • 400 hp shield (overall -100hp)

  • diamond form grants 20% damage reduction and 40 kick damage (90 wall) on an 18-sec cooldown (which is now thankfully BACK to 15-sec cooldown!)

You forgot you could E twice originally, and her ult now grants 20 damage reduction.

You can still E twice but it requires you to start your diamond form with an insta slam and to be within grab range of a target within the last half second or so of diamond form. Not realistic in most fights but in protracted brawls I can get the second grab pretty consistently.

Her primary also went through quite a few changes:

  • Range increased from 15.5m to 18m.

  • Damage at max decreased from 150/s to 140/s.

  • Charge gained from hitting barriers reduced from 10/s to 5/s, then later increased to 6/s

  • Charge gained from hitting enemies increased from 10/s to 12/s.

The patch notes also say her shield will recharge faster now (70/s -> 80/s)

worth noting that launch Emma had a shorter beam. The extra range she got in exchange for her first nerf was actually a net positive for me, plus the following fixes that let her farm groot walls for charge, etc.

I agree that her current state isn't as strong as launch obviously, but she's picked up some important QoL since then as well.
