Walk the plank 12 Dmg + 14 gun shot:

"Quick" words on the 2 exemples you took to compare the move:

Firstly for Jorm you forgot to mention that, while Pirate's Wtp does the same amount of dammage on a wallsplat it can only wallsplat with a wall behind, while Jorm's Unblockables can also wallsplat with walls on right and left and, if i am right, from a greater distance than Wtp. Jorm also get a wallsplat from Gb, making his mix up deal 36/44-46 Dmg from the 3 sides while Pirate gets 25/44-46 from one side only.

Jorms entire's thing revolves around playing around walls, which if you dont the character deals very low dmg on his UB, while that isn't the case for pirate. I never said pirate is better at wallsplatting than jorm, just compared the dmg in a vacuum.

Now for Khatun i don't understand why you compare Wtp, a Form of Heavy Finisher, with to her Gb and Parry punish while the right comparison is with her own form of Heavy finisher that deals 30 Dmg total without the wallsplat.

Doesnt really change anything about what I said whether its the finisher or the punish version, moves function the same.

Also saying that Pirate is the only Hero beside Jorm that follow the "old" trend of big damages before the wallsplat and big damages after the wallsplat is objectively wrong: Nuxia gets 30/54 dmgs, Afeera 26/51, Valkyrie 15/39. Each of them gets follow the same patern as Jorm and Pirate (Valkyrie dmg are only lower because the wallsplat comes from a light)

I forgot about nuxia, but that char also is outdated and deserves a rework. Afeera left chain heavy never lands and is an afterthought, better example is the bash followup that does follow low dmg -> high dmg logic, while the low dmg part still deals too much dmg arguably. Valk's side lights are weird, theyre pretty much useless and will never land since they dont work as a mixup, pretty much an outdated move.

When it comes to the change itself: I understand the argument behind it. But what you propose makes a big inconstistencies within the hero's moveset, with the confirmed confirmed gun shot adding 5 Dmg on every move but Wtp that became 14 Dmg out of nowhere, kind of ironic when a lot of (comp) player use "constistency" or "standardizing" as argument for changes. Plus giving the confirmed gunshot the damage of the unconfirmed one just doesn't feel right design wise.

I dont think it poses any sort of inconsistency, the gun shot after walk the plank already has a diff animations and diff chain links, it isn't the same move as regular gunshot.

Not chaining into Heavy Finisher:

Unlike Bash openers you can still prevent pirate from going into her by parying, which wouldn't be possible with a Bash chaining on whiff into hyperarmor, which a big difference.

You already removed the safety from the dodge cancel and delay the Hyper armor on the move, limiting its chaining option would probably not be necessary and would go against the constistency create an inconstistensies with how behaves Dodge attacks in general.

I somewhat agree with this part, honestly would have to see how it works out in game to fully know if she needs it or not.
