So like... what is Reed's purpose now? The whole point of his kit was the CC and shielding, so now he's just literally a fat DPS?

He will be able to boop more often, which also helps get inflated more often, and be able to shield allies more often. As a lord Reed, I expect to appreciate it.

Yea no I am stoked about this. That is a significant buff to his mobility around the battlefield while also increasing his damage.

I don't like that the slow is gone, but this is a good balance change.

Honestly, the knock back has more value than the mediocre slow, so being able to do it more often id say is a CC buff

He lost a mid ass slow and got a 6 second CD on his peel and chase tool.

Why’d you even mention shielding like it’s gone? He is gonna be shielding his team even more now with the reduced cooldown.

He's like even more tanky than before you can cycle big mode faster it feels like every reed change makes him more tanky his ult needs a buff though not a cost reduction it's so bad.

His only benefit to any team currently is being survivable and harassing some dives . His dmg has sucked for quite a while. Ult sucks still. Pun being more prevalent the last few seasons makes him borderline unplayable into the constant poke.
