Agreed. I feel they handled the nerf well - considering the rage-driven anti-scientist zealotry going around here and a few other places. I was worried that they'd decimate his usability.
I'm just glad that other variants will probably see some use after this - although the derps will probably flock to the next best thing - which I'll probably be annoyed by in the next few months.
But the changes should separate the true scientist players from the "FotM" ones. And because of the TT changes, they can't sneak up on Cacti in the near future, which means it'll be open season for veteran Cactus players. (Not to mention the Citron/Rose buffs)
I've actually watched their live stream and i remember them say "so you can warp a little bit more often". So that is not a nerf.

The rest was just a necessity and we will have to see how the reduced damage output will change the class.

They said that on Saturday, then when the patch notes went live the switched it from a buff to a nerf, then later in the day they removed the changes to warp cooldown entirely.
- There's a reason why I'm maxing out my scientists now, as well as electro brainz. They will over nerf. See rose. Master them while you can, and if you have already, you should stop playing as them. Otherwise, you're just feeding the truth that they are OP as hell.
This isn't the end of the world for actual scientist players - but you'll have to play smarter when the changes come.
You can still hit 70's un-upgraded with stock and slightly less with the elemental variants. You'll hit harder, but you can't mindlessly spam shots or you put yourself in a pickle.
