To reiterate again, I think literally no one saw the dot as a problem so this change is completely out of left field. I genuinely thought they were going to remove the positionals on the cd attacks, I literally didn't see the dot removal coming because it was so easy to reapply.
I haven't really played viper post change but honestly this change seems like it'll be more punishing for new players and will make the burst even more rigid and just as busy. Like genuinely who is this change for? The dot and buffs were something pretty much everyone instantly understood, the 2 button combo chains is what people found imposing initially.
