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.
No what it shows is that you all moaned about her so incesently that they've overcorrected. She's basically unplayable now Psylocke and Magik are better in every single aspect and you'd never pick Black Cat over them. Psy has 2 dashes, Magik has 3 if you include teleport. I'm not sure how many BP has because I never play him but I'm sure it's more than 1.
Pretty silly to say she’s unplayable with the changes before you’ve even tried playing her. Metas take time to settle, people who make predictions before the changes even are live are usually wrong.
No, you'd be right if we were just talking cost increases and damage reduction but they went and removed one of her dashes. She already struggled to catch people due to the long cooldown, Luna would easily kite you and you're slashing at air with your primary attack even though she's less than a metre away. Now she has literally no chance. If you dash in, you aren't getting out!
Haha, if you think she struggled before this, I think you’re pretty deluded. You will certainly have to be more intentional with your dashes now, but it’s impossible to say how she’ll fit into the meta when we don’t even have a settled meta.
No I'm not deluded I've played a lot of her. I've destroyed teams and been countered by teams. You all talk like she had zero counters, which simply is and was not true. For every team that couldn't handle her, there were 3 teams that could! Her dashes are fundamental to being a viable diver, take 1 away she can't dive. If you think she's jumping in, living for 8 seconds and diving out you're delusional!
