Why nerf slam wukong

[GypsyManeCarlos]

Why nerf something on 1 specific frame when there are other frames doing thee exact same thing, Ie slam wukong nerfed yet voruna is doing the same exact thing just without Iframes and I get you can roll outta the slam animation but atp your just killing the playabilty of said frame when it comes to tht specific playstyle which is just redundant bc there is another frame in the game tht is doing the exact same thing without a draw back of having to wait for heavy slam animation to be done in order to cast the ability tht gives her invisibility. Imo the slam nerf wasn't needed and wukong was targeted bc said build has been getting to much recognition.

honestly all they're doing is killing the fluidity of the build... they added 1 step to slamkong and that is you have to roll now...

Alright, show me where all of the Vorunas doing the exact same setup are

Cuz it was way to OP and it was effecting players gameplay, perhas read the dev workshop to understand why

Same here. I'm hella confused. All is voruna doing is hitting with slash in AoE. She isn't immortal (like wukong), she cannot use melee (well, comfortably, she can, but that will be 99.9% removed as well; and that melee is reduced to stuff like normal attack or normal slams - aka no heavy slams; it's far from perfect, it's "usable" for very few weapons/arcanes, I've made topic about it somewhere).

And I don't understand slamkong idea. Like you get immortality + damage? That's it?

[Raarsi]

Wasn't there some talk about it being unintended and that it was actually a bug fix?

Either way, there are still other ways to play him, so could still be worse.

Can we get a video of Voruna doing the same thing

True Vorunas are all too busy feeling the surge of the 5 Lemon Tau shards coursing through their veins to do whatever they're suggesting.

Funny how every single ‘why nerf this’ follows a direct explanation of why they nerfed it.

Invisibility is not invincibility, and you can't spam it quite as fast. Keep in mind - you can still use your existing build for this, you just can't spam slams from the animation cancel anymore. Given the build I just saw is reaching the integer damage cap limit, I'd say that's valid to prevent it from doing that much damage every single second. Waiting an extra 2s to use cloud walker (which gives you invuln and movement as well) seems perfectly reasonable to prevent it from being excessively disruptive / spammy, especially in squads.

I don't think Voruna is doing the same thing and this guy should send a video of it happening to prove it

Why nerf Slamkong when ... [ runs RNG app ]  CLEM CLONE SPECTER ... can do the exact same thing?  :P
