Yeah this makes sense, it just sits around awkwardly and it’s hard to know if she can still activate it or not.

Will implement this soon.

You are absolutely correct, this will make its way back in for the update next week.

I’ll see about the jump cooldown as well, it might make sense with something we have already.

Definitely need to do something about it, will see what makes the most sense for the next build.

Thanks for letting us know, will get it fixed.
