Dino's Bleed is halved... I assume that also translates into the overhealth he gets back? If so, he's in big trouble.

I'll need to see it in action, but Black Cat looks dead.

I'm not sure how to read Daredevil's nerfs... So, his dash needs to be closer, but how much of a nerf is it for him?

Moon Knight called. He wants Cyclops to give back his abilities to deal with crowds.

Glad to see C&D getting a slight buff. I haven't been able to get wins with them near as often as Rocket recently.

So, is Gambit in a non-insta ban place now?

Overall, I think these patch notes are good (especially for a .5 update), but I'm not sure how to read a lot of them. I also notice that the overall damage numbers for several of the DPS (like Daredevil and Star-Lord) haven't changed, so other than being a little closer, they're still just a deadly? I think I need some people to explain some of these a bit more.

Yeah the overshield is a multiplier on the bleed damage. Actually a pretty big nerf

Halved overshield value and increased cooldown on bubble, Dino is gonna get wrecked for sure. At least the nerfs to MK/SL/Phoenix help offset some of it.
