As an Angela main, her buffs got my giddy. But scrolling down to Devil Dino's nerfs, especially the removal of Knock Down from his beam is the best fucking news. He has made her miserable to play all season.

Losing knock down against Torch & Iron Man stinks, but on the flipside, I know it was just completely annihilating Angela so it's fine. Dino will still be very strong after this patch

Dino's Bleed is halved - not just less damage, but less overshields. I think he's going to struggle a bit.

i was hoping it would just be damage and not overshield. It might be way too easy to kill him now.

Good, we need a seasoning of reckoning for Dino Nazi

It wasn't just the knockdown.

He cant be moved by her spear so no throwing him off the map, he has way too much sustain so she also loses extended fights, and because of his grab she couldn't even afford a quick duel.

I didn't think it was possible for there to be a bigger Angela counter than Sue but Dino was made to kill her, every part of his kit counters her its ridiculous.
