I know the update isn't even out yet, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they literally just gave Primo an invincibility shield on a 16s cooldown. I originally thought that the gadget functioned differently than it did, but watching the sneak peeks definitely gave me a much needed reality check

The problem with this is super simple; its essentially just an invuln shield with no drawbacks. So what do you do to fix that? give it a drawback. Now that Primo can't just use it at any time for free invuln, you have to actually have a plan on how to use it. You can use it to approach enemies, retreat safely, or maybe even TANK damage for your allies like a tank should. Asteroid Belt also kind of overlaps with Suplex since both of them can be used aggressively now, but I actually think that's more of Suplex's fault since the rework made it more aggressive. Suplex will still probably be used for dealing with tanks and AB can be the more tank-centric gadget.

His buffie effect is still pretty much the same, just thought out more. I can't believe they're seriously giving him Gigi's mechanic after they saw how polarizing she is, just boost his tank trait to reward him for using it at the right time. Some people don't like the core idea of the buffie since a bad random can technically just shoot at it and give Primo a full charge, but honestly that's more of a bad random problem that shouldn't be catered to

I think that Primo could've gotten a better rework in general, but this is just supposed to be a very easy rework that would hopefully make it healthier and more balanced. I feel like they were really close to making it good, but small decisions like giving static SCR for his buffie is what made it bad in my opinion
