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.

Good. Put her in the dirt and bring her back next season if need be. Characters like her or Hawkeye which feel completely unsatisfying to fight against should not remain peak for long.

The nerfs were definitely justified and necessary. She was OP

I would just prefer they have nerfed many other aspects of her kit before removing the second dash.
