I played with Paik before her patch 1.2 buff, got her to T1 and only used her from time to time. Paik's ability was okay but not critical to most scenarios. As soon as I tried her after the patch, bo...

Changes to Paik’s EMG-X Scanner are now active to reduce its disruptive impact on gameplay flow:
