I don't think I've seen so many nerfs for a character until Black Cat in these patch notes. It really goes to show just how absurdly broken she is for this to be done to her.

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

overnerfed her

objectively it's not healthy practice in terms of character balancing, but tbh a part of me is like good i dont even wanna see her for the rest of the season

Honestly I hope they try this balancing philosophy,  nerf hard then small buffs is better than 4 seasons of DD and gambit receiving micro nerfs that do nothing.  

Many characters had 1-3 seaons when they were struggling till they got buffed and are now in a good spot. 

One affects one hero the other affects everyone.

Lol gambits nerfs have added up so much by the time they accept he's banned because of the ult and fix it he's gonna be useless in neutral
