Second of all, no, maim didn't get a damage boost in this patch. It got an increased potency of exposed effect in exchange of it lasting 3x less than before and the recast going up in 6x. Not even close to be an even exchange.

I'm not really sure why such aggressive post of yours...i didn't even quote or at least disagree of any of your posts...and i'm just showing the points regarding why i think it's a nerf...
Aggressive? My post wasn't meant to be aggressive at all, just a simple rebuttal. Not really sure what words in there are aggressive. I didn't call you any names nor deride your opinions

Anyway...

I did read the OP. He was complaining about perceived MRD nerfs based on the patch notes. That part is pretty obvious.

And about the history of Maim:

It did get a damage boost. In 1.18a:

And now in 1.19, it got an additional boost with the defense down debuff. It also does even more damage than before due to the way stats work now. It also got a long cooldown to compensate, just like Victimize and Twisting Vice.
