Herm. She seems interesting. And balanced. whoever posted these patchnotes, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIREZ?!?
But seriously... she seems to be a powerful solo. Her 1 would be a better waveclear, but her 2 would be better against gods, and would leave her escape up. I'll be on the edge for which to upgrade first, but I feel like this would be like arguing upgrading Stop Time before Time Rift for the waveclear.
I've been waiting too long for a shield that mitigated damage instead of taking it. It's actually not that overpowered, mostly because it's just one second. And you can kill her when it's up, too.
She can also be such a troll, too: full-health Ah Muzen Cab coming? heard him ult? activate 3, ult him, slow him, ded. If you get peeled, you have a dash that easily closes that gap, so ded. Again.
I think they went a little overboard with the 50% and the scales of balance, all those numbers with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
What I am concerned with is the fact that her shield is instant, but most abilities aren't. Not just obvious ones like Glacial Strike or Rain Fire, but ones like Frost Breath, Spirit Arrow, Exorcism, and other moves with a tony yet noticable delay.
Never saw a Sun Wukong playing as a assassin... if you jungle with him, in mid game you still buy def items and dont snowball him, however i build her atm as a bruiser, and atm i kick *** with her. I mean i just survived so many ults (He Bo, Ymir, Athena, Poseidon and so on) just by pressing 3.
Okay...I've played her, and she is probably the most overpowered god in the game besides Zeus. She is nigh-unpeelable, insanely fast, can make herself a superfast tank, can reflect ultimates, and has a LOT of CC.
If you can give three people a 50% 2 second slow, I categorize that as a lot of CC.
Regardless of her lack of balance, SHE IS SO FUN TO PLAY! She's like Fiora 5.0 Turbo edition plus. With mods.
To balance her a bit, I'd make it so that she can't dash a second time without hitting an enemy, and her shield needs to break upon being hit, instead of taking everything. Maybe make her Slice and Dice not impossible to avoid. Her ultimate seems fairly balanced, actually.

I would honestly leave the first ability alone. I would reduce the range on her slice n dice. Also reduce the radius of where the slow can hit. I think her 3 is just dumb and shouldn't exist. I actually think her ult works fairly well.
I also agree. She is unbelievably fun to play. The mobility is just amazing.
It seems they did tone down the delay when switching stances after all. I was definitely able to cast more quickly afterwards than before. No double auto again, though, it seems.
