Patch 4.16 - Bran's Thoughts

Meh, I think it won't be that bad (hoping). Might just have to be more careful in the early game since her movement speed will be less now from Permafrost. I don't think the scaling will hurt that much. I usually use it to disrupt gods or on the minion wave instead of for full god damage. I am generally okay with this as long as they don't nerf her Piercing Cold

The Telkhines Ring is definitely more intriguing now for DoT gods. I agree with you if you get this and boots then sub boots out later, you would have a pretty good power shift while not sacrificing movement speed if you just would normally get boots.

Artio nerf is good I think and hopefully not overdoing it. I don't think the nerf to Maul Prey will be that bad (hopefully), the slow and heal from Life Tap hurts because it was so easy to confirm most of the hits, but just makes her utilize Gem of Isolation more now, at least for me,to increase the slow again.
Yeah the cripple is long, but when I compare it to ***bha's Mighty Yawn, the yawn is still more annoying as you still can take damage from others with the cripple and the yawn is easier to lock down multiple gods. Plus with Entangling Vines nerf last patch, you have to wait a total of 20 seconds (without CDR, full CDR total 14 seconds) to use it again, since you have to wait for the duration to end then the Cooldown as well. Can be quite long, if you attack and fail to lock anyone down with it.
