Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[VentVanitas]

Am I the only one happy about GL being a thing I don't have to worry about anymore? I feel like I'm the only one who's more on the happy side monk's getting a major overhaul. To put it another way I have faith in the team that they won't fuck it up. I mean, Mch, and ninja play awesome now so 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

History suggests that the 5.4 rework will be a disaster. The only time SE has done a good rework for the job was when they did it by complete accident. But at least someone will be happy with it. I envy your faith, I really do.

I'm genuinely anxious that the rework will just make MNK the exact same job, but no Greased Lightning. But what of Anatman and Tornado Kick, the two moves that would be literally be broken without GL to work off of? I'm sure SE will find some backwards way to make them useless again, even with the golden opportunity to fundamentally change them. (By all means, if SE proves me wrong and makes those two skills into something substantial come December I'll gladly eat my words)

I apologise if it seems like I'm just doomsaying but Powercow is right. If SE thinks that GL was what needed to be changed after making it baby easy to keep then they still don't know why the job is struggling to outdo BLU with player numbers. The only good I can think to take from the rework is that maybe, just maybe, that by no longer having GL will force SE to make something that isn't pointless maintenance skills for future patches.

I think monk in HW was at it's best honestly. But I can see why they downed it down.. as they downed everything down from HW. As alot of the rotations - mainly the opener- were insane then. I trust them cause they made mch and ninja more playerable so I'm mostly expecting monk to be finally not a train wreck. Long as they fix TK and kill and never return to RNG and anaman I'll be so happy.
