Shadow Sling - Feedback

So this is more of a feedback topic than a rant topic. I'm not at all upset, BUT, after testing Shadow Sling on Nightcap after the patch - I see no difference in movement speed. It might be my eyes, but I literally see no difference, hence if there is a slight speed boost, I don't see it and therefore there is no reason to ever waste 2 talent points on this pick. This talent was gutted. Actually, it was my top pick pre-patch because there was a major difference in speed once you exited shadow sneak, it was always my way to be able to escape a bad situation, but now that's not an option.. Again, I'm not at all upset, I played a few matches of Turf Takeover and still ended up in the top 3 every match. 

My only point is, Night Cap is supposed to excel in mobility, but you've taken that a way, so what's the point? lol. Anyway I'm still going to play Night Cap, she is my main forever! I just don't understand going so hard on the NC nerfs when there are clearly stronger character in the game. Is the plan to completely decimate the talent and than buff it slightly in the longterm?

    Nightcap is in wierd spot. I am genuinely beginning to think Popcap is confused on Nightcap's design. They have an idea, they just don't seem to know how to execute it. And with no damage Fall-off and movement still being a problem, I could see why balancing her can get confusing.

    Imo, her damage isnt good. Attack plants like Corn and Peashooter are better because they have more options for dealing damage and have more Health. All Nightcap has is her mobility and Primary, which probably has around the same DPS as Corn or Peashooter.

    They can't make her too mobile, hence why Parkour got nerfed. At the same time, she relies on her mobility and Primary to get things done.

    They need to make walking speeds and strafing the focus of the movement, not this horrible bunny hopping.

    Nightcap should just be able to walk faster. In fact, the difference between her walking speed and higher HP classes is barely noticeable.

    Parkour getting nerfed is good, but I dont think Shadow Sling needed a nerf.
