Tbh, Old is the staple one-trick pony. I mean all he literally did was shoot people in the face and slap them. New has what Old  had and a  on top of it all. Also, I'm pretty sure that the word gimmick in this context is definition 2b in the Merriam Webster dictionary--in other words, a fancy strategy.

ShacoMain used the word gimmick cause it's "overly fancified," which is a vibe that people legitimately have when looking at the recent things that Rito has been doing. Heck, someone wrote a blog about it.

I don't find 'gimmick' as having a negative connotation/undertone to it, because I don't think 'fancy' is a bad thing. Some people do though. Legitamitely by removing the base damage on  and shifting his major source of damage to  admittedly does make it harder to carry with him. Reliability is really significant for carrying games since it is more dependable to get things done.

I personally think that can carry better than before, since New  has more tower pushing potential than Old. However, it was much more reliable to shoot people in the face for tons of damage than to shoot barrels. I just like the barrels since it gives that metric ton of damage as AOE rather than single-target-- got nothing on this.
