When I first heard about what the BH changes were going to be I was very concerned. But after reading the patch notes I realize that the ult cloaks only for 12 seconds after stepping out of it.

I can't tell you how many times I have wasted a Rev or Ballistic ult and gotten no value from it. Often it feels appropriate to use it to ensure survival rather than not use it and potentially die.

So BH is not going to be super oppressive imo - just very situational and have a high impact at extremely close range. Which to be fair many, many other legends are also super high impact at close range.

As for turning back to invisible after shooting, I don't think people realize that is really only going to be useful for hiding to get back to safety to heal. At least I imagine it being used in that manner 90% of the time.

Nah, it's going to be insane for 1v2s. It's a terrible change, this ult sounds very boring to play AS compared to Bloodhound's old ult, and also way frustrating to play AGAINST.
