All top SHs this server and ever to play the game are still disliking the changes due to range nerf simply coz in a competitive world you get shut down by anyone who knows what range control is.
On the other side there are players who say it's OP due to damage and all the tools class has while ignoring positioning and awareness skills- the main thing for a ranged class.
I'll not discuss whats right or wrong coz answer is simple in our case- FULL REVERT.

Yet all he can do with the class he mentions is to try making the death blow among a bunch of Destro around him. Oh well definitely OP.
