She was reworked 7 months after her release, she was hard nerfed a year later and now its been over a year since her first rework, almost 10 months since her hard nerf and we’re being told her new rework won’t release until 2026? so about three years in between reworks and over a year playing her in her current state? I’m sorry behavior but this makes me very sad as a skull merchant main. All these chapters all this new content and poor skull merchant is still in her current state :( at this point forget the new rework I’ll be happy if she’s just reverted back to her original design with a few changes/upgrades/quality of life. Please do something she’s actually pretty hard to play in her current state and her numbers show.

    Honestly….I didn't realize this until recently myself that it has been since 2023 since she was reworked

    Yes, I agree completely, friend.

    While I am having fun with Skull Merchant these days, there is no denying that her nerfs were extremely unnecessary, and they really hurt her. Sometimes there are moments where it feels like your drones are kinda useless, and even a single claw trap can be hard to get.

    The nerf was unnecessary, and the rework is even more so.

    Because the design previews, the two we had so far, were so terrible that it is hard to find words to describe it. They don't just look extremely unfun to play as and against, but also they completely erase her identity, which is unacceptable. Skull Merchant shouldn't become another "dashslop" killer, she shouldn't get a ranged M2, she shouldn't get a projectile attack.

    The rework goes against the very reasons why people play SM in the first place. If they wanted a projectile killer, or dash, or ranged M2, they wouldn't have picked Skull Merchant in the first place.

    I strongly support the idea of reverting her. While I personally think a revert to 2.0 is a better compromise, the original design is not something I would oppose. What matters is that she continues to be who she is, with a power that actually works.
