As you can see, the character has received several Nerfs, something that the game’s creative director explained that they “fell short” on last week in the patch announcement post. While disappointing to some, it’s completely understandable as multiple players voiced their feedback on the character, especially during tournament uses. Though how big of a nerf this ends up being in will be something players will be able to check for themselves once the servers go back online in a few hours.
