Her energy consumption is the only thing that got seriously buffed. Rest is a nerf.

To OP: She was convenient. You know, like a hammer is a convenient way of driving a nail into a board and a forehead is a non-convenient one, but works just as fine for some gifted individuals.

People who used to spam her ult just switched to other 1-button frames and keep on spamming. The issue itself wasn't a balancing one, in it's core, more like "MUH KEELS" issue with the mission end results and certain players. Same thing happened to Nova a while ago. Mechanics-wise, getting 0.something duration to compress the damage ticks into a short burst was interesting, in my opinion.

To Akiryx: Yes, she was nerfed. The rework affected her ult DPS (0.3. seconds and 1 button press "back then", compared to setting up molt, spores, pressing 4 and waiting for the dot to tick down) and her energy economy negatively. Plus, Miasma used to do more damage if the duration was less than 100%, so to reach comparable damage number, even including the viral proc, you need to stack duration, on top of range and ability power, getting rid of the hefty amount of energy efficiency at the same time. Modspace isn't infinite either, by the way. Now, from what angle this can be considered a buff?

Have to remind you, that the same issue of requiring both power strength, range, duration and efficiency was considered bad on Ember, so she got her rework. But same issue is somehow all good and fine if we're talking about Saryn. DE's double standards is what really pisses me off. SICK BUFFS YO!
