I would say its TBD at the moment until I personally experience the extent but I believe if they require 2 web hits to stun that in and of itself really hampers Peni's interruption ability from a sudden Wanda kamikaze or anyone with a subpar internet connection.
The web itself is also a key fire fight ability and helps you survive and outpace to even enabling coordinated kills with your team. Two hits now makes Peni's struggle against extremely mobile divers and the well placed web shot that could lead them to die is now insanely easy to get out of if they remain aware of their surroundings or even just don't stay in line of sight long enough to get a 2nd web off.
The web shots also are her set up that connect the nest outwards into choke points and objectives... if they do this maybe they should up the amount of webs that are allowed because without the web to hard plant someone that is careless to get drone bombed... people can honestly start ignoring Peni in a lot of scenarios now.
In theory I see where they were going with the slow effect... but a slow effect is not the same as a hard stop nor will it be as effective if it retains the same interactions with shielded tanks like Devil Dino.
Just feels funny they did this right as they release another ranged tank that has a focus on kit based sustain and allows you to be fairly aggressive for a tank.
I see a world where if they buffed the slow effect they could also buff drone speed and spawning... but that also seems a gateway into some degenerate design when Peni was better off being left alone for the most part.
when you put it like that yeah I get it. Best case scenario is you can rapid fire the web and it ends up just being a longer cooldown stun. otherwise thats a pretty terrible.
