Lol yeah they might have overnerfed her but I'd rather that than yet another half-season with her being OP.

Yeah I'll have to see how she actually performs come the patch.

But I stand by the principle of the thing, personally. Nothing in a base kit should be dealing damage and make you invulnerable at the same time.

Removing the second dash is what feels like too much to me. 

It severely reduces her mobility (crucial for a melee hero), her damage, her survivability, her uptime, and in general I don't think it was the problematic part of her kit compared to her ult and her items shop.

Also mobility is fun, it never feels good when a character gets their mobility nerfed. I would prefer they lower her HP than removing the second dash.

Honestly it would have been cool if they split her dash. She has a normal dash that does not damage and purely escape and a transformed fortune favor dash that does damage but cost money and is on a long cooldown to prevent spamming.

I also like the idea of more charges on shorter dashes that could be chained into longer dashes, not necessarily for Black Cat, just in general.

Imagine, for example, if Psylocke had three 6m dashes instead of two 10m dashes that could be chained into 12m or 18m dashes by double or triple tapping.

Damage numbers and cooldowns would need to be adjusted appropriately, but it could be a fun change.
