[quote]Changes would have been fine fine, nerfing every part of a new kit and leaving the other classes untouched is not good balance.[/quote] Okay, let me tell you that shadebinder is still one of the stronger subclasses in the game. Penumbral blast was downgraded from mid-range to slightly-longer-than-shotgun range. It’s AoE still makes it one of the more dangerous melees to get hit by thanks to the ability to incapacitate a player for 1.35 seconds, which in a team fight can end up being an advantage. Iceflare bolts only makes that even more of a hazard depending on how competent teammates are at prioritizing, and if they have that aspect on as well. While not as absurd, Winter’s wrath is a super to be cautious of. Getting frozen is a near-guaranteed death sentence when the evil dubstep drops the bass. Coldsnap grenades are an all-class nerf. Nothing surprising there regarding it being the homing grenade. So even with the nerfs, the subclass is still dangerous in the right hands.
