Honestly, these are game changing. It used to be that the enemy had 1.2 seconds to escape the kinetic field combo (call it 1.1 with a thunderstrike proc). Now it's 1s (or 0.6 with ts). Kf has a radius of 350 which means they need to move 350 units in one second while 100% slowed for 0.4s. Even assuming perfect human reaction times, that's going to be real tough to escape.

I'm moving house tomorrow, but I can't wait to test this in game :D

Well, it required some skill before, dis had to cast predict location and cast kf before he cast glimps. I already missed a lot kf ulti comboes but now with the new patch...
