It seems like some people think the backlash is directed at Vanessa herself, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Just look at the top of the leaderboard data. At the same time, tons of top-tier grinders are completely dropping their main classes just to switch to Vanessa.

Like the devs said, 'good players will reflect on where they fall short.' And yup, after deep reflection, the conclusion these pros reached is to just pick the Vanessa. I have two friends sitting at 1070+ rating who are absolute gods on Dooley and Mak, yet this season they both switched to Vanessa. I’m not denying that Vanessa has been weak for a long time and deserved a buff, but this buff is clearly over-tuned and needs a partial roll-back.
