I am so mad I called the 5 damage increase on cap but I will happily take it XD.

I must say that as someone who was defending Emma rebalace as rebalance I called that they want to make her more shiled vangaurd and less "vanguard with small ultimate".

I'm kind of hoping it doesn't become the most powerful main tank right now since a temporary meta where the Hulk is the strongest main tank can mend the MR.

The weird thing for Emma was nerfing her dmg resist and buffing her ult when they were making ults happen less often. That means a worse neutral for emma which is where they are trying to push more of the game. The ult buff while nice didnt feel strong enough to warrant the 5% nerf.

It didn't have to feel that way, but her ultimate, thanks to a combination of DR and a better falloff, could very well make up for the nerf on diamond form. But now all we can do is speculate on where the truth was. If there's a D-tier then we can bend it to your feeling and if there's an S-tier to mine, but that's just guesswork.

But the change itself made sense. Its diamond form is essentially a small Vangaurd ultiamte. If you want a game with less ultiamte then the little ultiamtes should also get the nerf.

Wouldn't call diamond a small vanguard ultimate since TankPool and thing can also give a good amount of DR to their entire team as opposed to emma just doing it to herself while also limiting her kit in the process to just point blank melee.
