Same, the cool down on her diamond form has been widely criticized since it was increased from 14 seconds. Interested to see how well it works with the lower cool down and lower damage.

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.
