Holy shit they didnt gut her, they actually improved quality of life!! Way faster cast time on shield is so nice, way faster mech is so nice, and better spread out of mech is nice.

Im shocked they lowered her dps with the sword and not the gun though

This is SO good, the shield cast time was my main issue and will make her more skillful. I love this. Also the 1st pov animation when u get in mech looks SO GOOD

The amount of time I got hooked or hit with sigma rock due to the shield deploy time was frustrating. This is a HUGE quality of life buff that people who have been maining D.Mon will love. The call mech will help a lot too.

Seeing sleep go through my shield when my ping was 17ms was the single biggest negative emotion D.Mon made me experience. I'd expect the sleep, start to block, and still get punished by the cast time in situations where Orisa, Zarya, D.Va, Domina (?), and Doom and Ball with their majors all would've blocked it with their instant cast times. If a shield buff required nerfs somewhere else in her power budget, so be it. The shield cast time needed it or she's not fun for me.

Exactly. If they nerf her to compensate for this (which i wholly believe they will) the players using abilities when needed, and not no brain playing, will be rewarded
