Someone got the Leon reference! :D

@Draven: what I think HeresyHorus was saying was that instant 100-0 burst is something you'd find on immobile mages (mainly because doing so would require you to land your combo, which is in itself difficult), but isn't something you'd want to have on assassins, who are all mobile and who can therefore always set themselves up for perfect positioning.

I also agree with this: the main problem I see with assassins right now is that they often don't give their opponent enough time to react, which limits how much you can balance them and tends to make them binary both in-game and in terms of design (get a lead -> steamroll, don't and you become useless). Imo, assassins should be all about reacting to their opponent and forcing them to react as well in short windows of time, so while I want Matilda to be bursty, I also want her to give her opponent lots of ways of avoiding her damage and fighting her properly.
