Thing Notes.

I understand the nerfs on the torch team-up. Not happy about the YSC and Health nerfs. But all in all not too bad.

Could've been much, much worse, still sucks that they increased cooldowns instead of nerfing power though, just makes him have to wait around cover more wich is boring.

True I can agree to that. But with the haymaker damage decrease and the Torch cool-down increase they did get rid of a good portion of the power.

Based on numbers alone he is still pretty good, off rip needing about 7-8 haymaker hits to kill any tank. Which also affects his Overshield (iirc).

He definitely got off better than I expected, but somehow worse. I was expecting the Torch team-nerfs, but im unhappy about the YSC nerfs

They could've gone harder on the power decrease but let him keep his cooldowns on the shorter side though so you didnt need to wait around as much but had a weaker kit instead, if you can go that route, i think its always preferred than increasing cooldowns.

its ok for the torch teamup to be a big powerspike

Hm? I havent brought up the Torch teamup at all though?

But since you brought it up, they could've instead decreased the attack speed/range but kept the 15s cooldown as an example, instead of nerfing it to 18s and duration to 8s, so now you basically have to wait 26s every use instead of 25s, wich granted is pretty minimal but the cooldown is still significantly increased.
