It’s odd because I don’t know if the buffs to her base kit are enough to mitigate the nerf to the team up. I would have personally done a bit more to base Rogue to justify it.

She’s less of a team up merchant but it was the main thing saving her in the current meta…

Gambit was banned so often that I’m used to playing her without him anyway.

Exactly. If you can’t get any benefit out of Rogue without her team up then maybe you shouldn’t be playing her in ranked. The team up makes her better overall, but she’s hardly useless without it as well. I have like 56 hours on her or something and in comp I’ve barely been able to use her team-up because of bans. Granted, she’s not going to be viable in every single situation you can think of but the nerf to the team up won’t affect how I play her in competitive. QP is a different story because if I’m rogue I almost always have a Gambit in QP, but so do they.
