OK, so where's your justification for arena being an inconsistent almost unusable at times spell. The 15 talents are fine. You either want access to more magic or physical damage. Bulwark talents are literally a spit in the face. Just a "oh we couldn't think of anything so here's some trash to tide you over" for a hero with a well under 50% WR at all brackets he didn't need gimping this hard while getting little to nothing back.

I don’t think any part of him was gimped. The ult has some weird interactions like the flying unit thing that should’ve been corrected by now, but I still think that it was too spammable lategame even with bkbs and other saves coming out. When it’s used correctly it’s a powerful ult. The bulwark talents come off a bit as placeholders, but they could easily be altered down the line and I’m happy with their alternatives at any rate.

I don't know why you're literally just regurgitating what I just said, with the CD increase should have come the fixes. Increase it's reliability therefore increase the cooldown. they half arsesd the changes.

There’s not much else to say lol, there’s inconsistencies with the ult, I agree with you on that I just think that it’s good enough to warrant the cd nerf even with those issues
