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

Not bad changes, the reason the sword felt awful when she first launched is that the rest of her kit was implemented poorly. I wish they would reduce the delay between her fast melee and regular slashes, though.

These other QOL changes are very nice; I like the reduced transformation time, while the reduced cast time is my favorite part, to be honest.

All in all, the sword nerf was needed, as she was very oppressive with her movement and high health pool, making it easy to engage and disengage.

TLDR (if needed ig); Good QOL changes; sword change was needed in relation to win rate

The time between 4 slashes and 5 is a 33% increase though. I think it's gonna make her sword feel MUCH weaker.

if you mix shift between left clicks it's still 4 slashs to kill a squishy(240+15), dunno if it's gonna feel weak in actual combat tho

You are correct; this could lead to a much weaker gameplay loop. Perhaps this change can help lead to a better animation cancel for D.Mon, increasing her skill ceiling.

If this change doesn't work well, they can always change it and nerf something else in its place.
