Has Domino been dulled?

Don't want to use the dreaded N word that rhymes with turf, but I've noticed the last few wars her heavies haven't been hitting nearly as hard. I have her in AWA today and noticed it pretty bad in multiple fights,so figured I'd try some duels with her. Tell me what y'all think and if any of you are seeing the same.

Guess I'm the only one 🤷🏻‍♂️

Her heavy is better with Red Hulk synergy

I'm not talking about the incinerate damage that, yes, she gets with Rulk (who I team her with in AWA), I'm just talking the pure physical damage from the two hits. Seems like she's critting less and the damage is lower for both crit and non-crit hits

Can’t say from that vid since the second half of the heavy finishes after the stun is over; most of her damage comes from the +100% while stunned.

Isn't she RNG-based?

There's multiple duels, the one with Hood being the best example

The second hit of the heavy is still falling outside of the parry stun.

The first heavy on blade is a 6k crit without the 100% attack bonus, to my recollection that’s within what she is capable of.

Here's a video from war. First heavy totals barely over 1300 for both hits (and it's not like either glanced)

DalBot

And if you watch the second duel against Hood (no class advantage like against Blade)she was doing under 2800 total between both hits on some of those

That war fight has 90% armor which is going to reduce the damage from non critcal hits.

And yeah if you do not crit and the second hit lands outside of the stun timer the damage potential will be significantly less.

DalBot

45% armor and even still the first hit of the special shouldn't be that low while they're stunned.

Yes!! I use my R5 to farm pots from rol regularly and have been for a long time. Since 22.0 she doesn't crit nearly as often and even when she does it's not at strong. Pre ver. 22 I've gotten her crit bleed from sp3 up to 17k fairly regularly. On average it was 10k-14k.
Since ver.22 people were complaining about the incinerate damage from the rulk synergy and they somewhat fixed it, but not to where it was.
Crit damage is still much lower. When I do a sp3 the most I've gotten was 12k bleed (almost never) but more often it's around 3k sometimes as low as 600 per tick, sometimes no bleed at all. People were still complaining and they closed the thread calling it a conspiracy theory. I haven't changed my masteries or the synergy team I bring when I farm pots.
I know people say it's RNG, and I agree she's always been that way, but it's definitely off from where I was.

Dull? More like the most annoying champ to fight against.
