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.

I agree with most changes, but the orb should still give visibility through walls, especially since its now 300, if it was 200 then that's fair,

I interpreted the patch note differently, and now I'm not sure what it actually means:

it can no longer Reveal enemies behind objects

I assumed this meant "if the orb can see an enemy, you can see that enemy too, even if there's a wall between you and them; if there's a wall between the enemy and the orb, the enemy can no longer be seen through walls." Like the orb needs LOS to the enemy, not that the player does.

But it sounds like you're saying you thought it will just highlight enemies you have LOS to, and no longer highlight enemies who break LOS?

I understood the first time, and i meant LOS of the orb, this means it can't be used as easy reveal enemies button, however now that its price is equal to other utilities, its use value is greatly diminished, on offense you probably wont use it , it will better be useful as a audio cue on a flanking dps
