Unbelievable
All that was needed were i-frame adjustments and a cooldown on the shop. Removing a dash, and ESPECIALLY the egregious "bugfix" are insulting.
The orb change is unbelievable. Triple the cost. And now it is completely useless. Why would I ever use the orb, ever? The nerfs were so easy. Just make it so it has a reduced wall hacks range, or expires after 8 or 10 seconds. Now it is literally useless. The enemy will immediately see the giant red flashing laser pointing to the 2 hp orb.
It's crazy. Biggest complaints about her were her overreliance on invis and her i frames. Those two things are entirely untouched! So now she'll just have to lean on them even more. There's no cooldown on the shop still so it's just gonna be invis + pursuit spam forever now. It will still be unfun to fight her and now less fun to play her because there is only one relic ever worth picking, the invis crown.
Black Cat needed nerfs, but absolutely gutting her like this shows incompetence at best, and malicious balancing and deceptive marketing at worst. Of course now's the time to gut her, after her skins sell and after you're about to add a poke dps. There were so many other, easy avenues to nerf an overpowered character like BC and you chose the exact opposite of what should have been nerfed, it's staggering.
