"it nerfed his ult"

No it didn't. The changes are no where near a nerf to his ult. Sure, if you just tap the buttom for a quick cast it has a smaller range but the damage is completely unchanged and you get 10 tentacles for 50 energy v. the old 12 tentacles for 100 energy. The quick cast is now grest for locking down a console in Interception or blocking a choke point because the tentacles are packed into a tighter area.

As, well you can charge the cast now, allowing for a 20 tentacle cast for 100 energy. Now if everything I've seen is correct, the range for the full charge isn't as big as it was but the 8 more tentacles will more than make up for that.

As well, each tentacle can now hold more than 1 enemy and they have improved AI to actually hit/capture enemies more consistently.

Tentacle swarm got a major buff.
