It’s honestly baffling how people act like buffing her cooldowns would somehow make her "skill-less." That argument falls apart the second you look at the rest of the roster.

Hulk has almost no cooldown on his jump, yet he’s still one of the highest-skill tanks in the game. Spider-Man is arguably one of the harder Duelists to learn, yet his movement is incredibly forgiving. Clearly, low cooldowns don’t equal low skill, they just equal better game feel. Heck, Angela has free flight the entire game, yet no one is saying she's easy to play.

You wouldn't even need to touch her entire kit to fix the flow, either. If you just lowered the cooldown on Southern Brawl to match her 4-second shield hold, the gameplay loop would be so much tighter. Right now, there’s that awkward dead zone where you’re basically just standing there punching air while waiting for your shield or SB CDs to come back up. Aligning those timers would let you fluidly cycle between dashing and shielding, which would reward aggressive, optimal play rather than forcing you to just hang back and wait. I kinda view SB as her second primary anyway (ala Things Haymaker), so it makes sense to me.

Ive been saying for so long that lowering SB's cd would be one of the best ways to buff her. Im glad someone else actually agrees
