Dracula shapeshift cooldown nerf?

Why was this changed? The previous buff to the shapeshift cooldown felt great, and made it less punishing to try to make better use of all of the forms. Why is it getting nerfed?

Even in live, accidentally switching to bat mid loop pretty much loses you the chase due to shapeshift getting locked out.

    Changes are too heavy handed to Drac for sure and some changes like HF are just punishing for no real reason. Though, I'd be surprised if all the changes go through as is because they are bad overall and make him feel awful to play on PC, and that means he will perform even worse on console. Unfortunately there is so much packed into this update with the Myers changes, Houndmaster, etc… that it eclipses poor ol' Drac. All we can do is speak up and wait and see which changes make it and which don't. Hopefully they revert the hellfire nerf completely and scale back the transformation nerf to 2.8/3.0s. I thought it was fine before, but if this is the route they're going then that'd make him less clunky and fix the visual stutter when he transforms.
