Is there a reason Fanny was buffed?

You already have a hero that has insane mobility on a literal ZERO cooldown which triggers her primary skill on every cast, and reduces successive casts for continous spins which benefits from spell vamp.
Currently, every match I encounter with her now she is absolutely dominating.

I have never encountered this level of mobility in any competitive game for good reason - it's overpowered.

She has always been quite powerful previously, and I understand players require understanding of the map to use her cables effectively, but I'm just honestly baffled as to what thought process went through Moonton's dev team to decide she needed more mobility than she already had for this recent buff.

Discuss.

I guess maybe because no one plays Fanny anymore? At least not on my server..And those who do...fail ...

if we talk about pick rate and damage, many heroes have a lower pick rate than fany,

so the reason that still makes sense is to increase fany's new skin sales
its all about money

I don't know either, but I think the buff is for promotion for the Fanny skin "Blade of Kibou". I was amazed when I saw she got buffed, it has been very hard dealing with her lately. You can play her as sidelaner now since she can regain her energy so easily now and quickly cable back to the lane like it was nothing xD

Legit she is just tearing through players like they're nothing and escaping with no counter play

I can't confirm that....I just don't feel like Fanny is that strong now..i don't really know why her pick rate is high at the moment..

Only Fanny got buffed. Layla and Hanabi remain the same. I wish they buff Hanabi a little more though. But hey! Her revamp is coming so she will go in major changes.

Layla still use the latest buff bfore that cowboy theme skin released, so i think no buff coming for her until now. But hanabi, players are waiting her buff like a century.
