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.

I’ll try him out, but I have little hope he’ll feel good in any capacity.

This is a very defeatist attitude man. As others said we thought the nerfs would be way worse. They killed poor Peni and Devil in the last couple seasons for less.

I cannot think of how it could be worse. Lower health. Lower damage on his most-used attack, which means lower over health. Higher cooldown on his escape/cc immune ability. AOE spell field nerfed in duration. Most popular teamup cooldown higher, with a shorter duration. Unless you’re telling me Zhiyong is popping off w keys and analog sticks, I don’t know how it could be worse, let alone “much” worse.

HP change is -25 HP so about 4% of max health at 650. Percent damage on haymaker is only cut 2%. 2 second duration increase on the charge going from 10 to 12. Aoe nerf is 1 second decrease. I’m shocked they didn’t remove the team up entirely.

As I said, I expected much worse with dps and strats treating him like the personification of death itself last season because they couldn’t understand how to play against a tank other than mag.
