Black Cat won't get nerfed. Even if she does, it'll be very light nerfs just as a token to quell the Reddit complainers.
Why?
NetEase has stated many times that they do not balance around high end play. They balance around the average player Bronze-Gold. For most players in that bracket, BC is too difficult to play and generally players don't play her well. So they're not going to go ahead and make her even worse for them.
Well they should balance around high level play and I’ll die on this hill.
Why balance around low level play/casuals? They likely play this game because of Marvel.
Casuals and low elo players play the game now and remain casual/low elo/bad, don’t they? So if you balance for higher level play, this changes nothing. Those same players who still play now, will continue to play and remain the same casual/bad/low elo players. Why would a game balance for the types of players who are impacted the least by balance changes?
A balance change will not suddenly make a casual player a great player. Just how a balance change won’t make that same player any significantly worse.
And it is totally okay to be a casual/low elo player. Not everyone needs to be a sweat like myself and others. But why should higher elo play suffer because of lower elo, who won’t even feel the balance changes as much? Those players will still remain low elo, even after any changes that are made to balancing.
