Easier to play against, harder to play, but is extremely rewarding if play correctly.'

Innate is extremely strong and better, even at lvl 1, unless you play tankplank and stale the trade so long till the point where old passive is better. The only lost is the slow, which i think is not that significant.

Q is better, in every way.

W is worse, unless you build tank, and cant be change because it's so iconic that removing it will cause riot.

E, i dont know, It's a trade off invisible stat for a high moment, but personally i prefer the old one.

R is weaker in term of DPS but better as a burst, and just after 1 upgrade it will be better than old R.

After all, He's just out for a few day, calm yo tatas.
