Is this intentional? Jabari's precision got gutted with the patch

I was excited to try the Jabari buff today since she looked a lot better on paper, but her precision massively decreased in potency. The annoucment said it would be lowered but it went from 10400 (at rank 3 7*) to 866.67 (at rank 3 7*) which makes it so she barely crits more in the hunt than normally. It looks like it's of by a factor 10. Could someone please look into this?

it’s intentional. They talked about it on stream. You can also find DLL’s video on all the champ changes for some rationale.

It’s probably a bug or an error they made. @KabamPinwheel

No it’s intentional and it’s extremely annoying. I genuinely believe they nerfed the champ because her crits are abysmal now

Its been addressed, it was intentional because her old precision was balanced out by all the other buffs they gave her.

I just watched DLL's video on her changes. What he said is that her old precision put her at 80% crit chance while in the Hunt, and they lowered that to a 25% chance. I don't know exactly how the conversion from "Xnumber crit rating" to "%number crit rating" looks like, but since 140 crit rating leads to a 3.1% increase in crit chance (as per her stat focus), I don't find it too hard to believe that 880 crit rating equals a 25% chance. It doesn't scale perfectly linearly, but it's close enough that I wouldn't be surprised if the current numbers are indeed correct and not some kind of bug.

However, I would assume that the scaling goes bananas sometime after this, because while around 900 extra crit rating translates to 25% increased crit chance, apparently you need 10K to get up to 80%. I've heard that crit rating suffers from diminishing returns, but wowza, that's a crazy dip in potency-per-point.

But I don't think that the potency nerf is quite as sever as it looks. I mean, going down from 80% to 25% is still a lot of percentages lost - don't get me wrong - but just from looking at how much crit rating was lost, you'd be forgiven for thinking that a 90% cut would have left her with maybe 8% increased crit chance while in the Hunt, which would have been rather pointless.

Most importantly, though, is that I absolutely believe Kabam when they say that the buff will still lead to a much higher damage output from her, even with the reduction to the crit chance while in the Hunt. I haven't tested her out extensively (I have her at r4 sig 150 currently), but on paper I love all of the changes they've made to her. While the player in me certainly wouldn't have minded if she kept crit'ing like crazy while in the Hunt, I still think she'll do great.

She seems much easier to use and has those cruelties against bleed immune science champs, but I am concerned that they didn't just gut the precision they also reduced the potency of the heavy attack bleeds.
