Revenant Nerf

I just recently got back into playing apex and noticed that my main Revenant was nerfed into the ground.  From what I read the reasoning was that his abilities were too strong.  If his abilities were too strong that how come Ballistic is able to overheat your weapon for 8 seconds, very similar to silencing abilities for 10 seconds.  While yes his tactical lasted longer but you were still able to fight if need be.  Also, his old totem ability was very balanced, because when in the shadow state you could not loot boxes, when sent back to the totem you had basically no health which meant the team you just tried to push could push back with little struggle, and the totem had a time limit.  The legend that now has that ability is Alter, her Void Nexus does not have a time limit and you leave the Void Nexus with the same amount of health you enter with.  

I know that I am not the only one that is upset about his nerf and that this topic is likely beating a dead horse, it is just this decision to nerf him does not make sense to me.  If someone could provide another reason why he was nerfed other than his abilities were to strong please let me know.  

Also, that shadow pounce ability is the worst thing in the game.
