What really pissed me off by it was that it had no really good basis. All it really gave you was insane health regen and armor for like 10 secs when you had lots of dead teammates which by that time the game is basically over for your team anyways. If they had a reliable way to kill of their pets it might have been a mediocre build, but still they would have had trouble against any other build.

IMO, gimmicky builds are nerfed because they simply makes the game less fun. The people that originally came up with the build probably had lots of successful so everyone started copying the build, but they can't pull the build off and before you know it, all you see is the gimmiky build just destroying the game for anyone who can't be a part of that build.

Was just playing for 15 min last weekend and noticed that quickshot was nerfed too....sigh. They turned an elite skill that was already only usable under very special circumstances and skill shots into one that has no benefits under any circumstances
