Am I the only person who thinks they missed the boat totally on the Fungal change?
DId you consider that they nerfed the stun duration and left the DPS what it is now?
So no crazy kill FG, just a short stun with no compensation, a flat-out nerf.
There is nothing in patch notes about the fungal's duration being reduced, JUST the stun length.
Listening to the VOD, their understanding of the change is that duration was cut in half and DPS basically doubled. (Same damage, but over 4 seconds instead of 8 seconds)
That is how I understand the change as well. Maybe you missed the boat on their analysis?

Erm, no, as I made clear in my post, I understand what they think it means...I am saying there's no evidence it means that. I think it's just Catz' brain automatically dubbing in what he would like it to mean...

And I'd like to get his view on it as a straight up nerf.
Yeah I initially interpreted the Fungal change to mean:
Duration of Stun: 4 seconds, down from 8 seconds
Duration of Damage over Time: 8 seconds, no change from 8 seconds.
As in, it stuns for the first 4 seconds and continues to damage them for the next 4 seconds, while still allowing movement. I suppose we won't know for sure until the PTR comes up.
