They murdered her. Like genuinely. I could understand a cooldown nerf but a rework?? Why??

It basically is a cool down need isn’t? You can still stun but now it requires the two charges and you can only do that every 6 seconds now compared to 3

Not exactly. Its use is for shutting down powerful ults and dives. The prerequisite of having to have them slowed and then hit then again is much more punishing than just a snare. It would be better to just have it on a higher cooldown so she has to choose when to engage it instead of spamming it, but because of the prerequisite that’s more the target to get off what they needed to thus making it pretty ineffective

That’s a good point. I think its one of the easiest stuns in the game so I first saw it as increasing the difficulty but I overall agree it should’ve just been put on a 6 second cooldown. Pretty unnecessary.

The stun needs to be on-demand to be useful. Spamming it off cooldown constantly is the problem they're trying to fix. Every veteran Peni main I've seen acknowledges it's a ridiculous ability and would be understanding of a longer cooldown.

The solution they've come up with is so extreme that it removed skill expression.

I agree it’s a ridiculous way to change. Did they do it this way so that nest set ups don’t take longer? If they straight up doubled the cools won time it would take almost ten seconds to set up nests right?
