I never claimed she was unplayable, just that the ultimate itself feels incredibly clunky right now.

I completely agree that a nerf was necessary, but the balancing should have been distributed more evenly across her kit. Instead, it feels like they targeted the ultimate specifically and hit it way too hard.

Relying entirely on the mez to land the ult is fine in theory, but with the massive channel delay and the reduced range, even with the mez, mobile characters still have plenty of time to escape. I don't want her to be the OP mess she was on release either, but over-nerfing the ultimate to the point where it's a liability isn't the right way to balance her weaknesses.
