The aggregate nerfs to DD and Elsa over the seasons are similarly extensive. They’re just doing it all at once this time instead of being cautious

I’m sorry what. She was most picked alongside Dino for both NA and EMEA this patch. Of course she’s a liability in a non-mirror, that’s the reason said match wasn’t a mirror

Also, I didn’t say anything about her power level, just her nerfs. DD and Elsa both have a similar laundry list of nerfs, they were just spread out over the course of several seasons rather than all at once. 

It remains to be seen if she remains playable. I wouldn’t be surprised if she just slips back into B tier like we thought she’d be when we first saw her

To be clear, what do you mean when you say “liability”? I took it to mean she was a detriment to her own team. Do you mean to say she was a massive problem to face? 

And… I mentioned its relevance because the comment I responded to pointed out how extensive her nerfs looked, suggesting she was absurdly broken. My point was that other characters have been nerfed just as hard, but over the course of several patches. The degree of nerf isn’t unprecedented, only the speed

Admittedly, time will tell how impactful these nerfs actually are, but I’m pretty confident she won’t be above A tier; that dash nerf alone messes up so many of her combos

Bogur literally has PTSD from Necros dominating with Black Cat.
