This is highly subjective. For a lot of people, including those amongst the raid scene, Sleeve Draw was a garbage ability due to its clunky design and it necessitating Lightspeed. What they ultimately landed on may not have been ideal but it cannot be denied how much push back Sleeve received. Frankly, I think the change simply needs to add Charges and/or reduce Sleeve's CD.

Of course, people are still upset over Astro's new direction from its old iteration. So I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this were a band-aid fix while they go back to the drawing board for 6.0.
