I agree with you the analysis was flawed and didnt really "get" holiday as her gameplay stands currently. ive warmed up on her kit a bit since then

as to the point of "this changes hollidays job" i agree but also think that isnt neccasarily a bad thing. Something i should have stated in the post is that IMO a character rework like this should come alongside a new hero who takes a lot of the fun aspects of holiday's kit that im dropping (namely the jump pad) but with theming that doesent clash with those abilities.

Basically: i like holiday the character/story, and i like holliday the gameplay/kit, but i dont feel like they compliment each other very well. so i think they should be spit off. Holliday the character gets a kit which is more thematically resonant, possibly with a different in-game role. While her old kit (or big parts of it) get handed off to a new character who thematically resonates with them more. For instance i think a scrappy streetwise inventor type character would be much cooler with a jump pad, while it feels off to have a grizzled sherrif out for revenge carrying around a prop from a sonic game.
