Blah. wrote a novel, deleted it. lets go tl, dr mode.

She cant setup kills for herself because of much weaker harass, in this sense she is much more boring, cuz cant rdo that well 1v1. HEr overall burst is lower too, even worse 1v1. Probabaly thats why he said boring. You are landing your 6000th bouncing blade and hes still full hp, and you need to shunpo away and stuff. :)

Shes nice in team, can be really devastating, and snowball, but her time limit is 35-45 minutes no matter how fed she gets. After that she loses her edge, get super team reliant.

At the re release she was really balanced. She had similar reward as before, let the player play freely how they wanted, and she had her limitations.

Now shes more limited, can be played lower risk with going for mobility, but than u lose all potential, or go super high risk, normal to high reward, going all in, tough it still works better with teamwork.

All in all she can be considered "more boring" than before, cause she went from assassin to some supportive teamfight assassin. Or from a strong individual to a weaker sneaky assassin, as you wish.

yes, it was the short version..

'''super tl;dr: Before she could harass, setup a kill. Now she needs to go in to deal real damage always, and she deals less damage to a single target overall. So higher risk, less reward if you wanna snowball.'''
