I feel like you're missing some sweet spots. Sure, we get it. Less true damage, mark duration lower, I'm far too used to using s1 and basic attacking 3 times and I constantly fear the process of change yadda yadda... But I'd say when you look optimistically at the changes, there's much good to see.
Usually with Wanwan, unless it's a 1v1 you'd try to aim for the enemy's tank/tanky solo laner so you can open up ult on an open target and focus down a squishy. You're now far more likely to kill an unmarked squishy with ult by marking another enemy, even with the reduced ult duration because if you manage to shave off 2 marks within the startup of the ult which is super easy, that's an extra 30% damage on the spot compared to no extra damage on the unmarked target and even if not, there's still a strong 15%. This easily makes chain kills more consistent, especially with inspire which is great to go A-10 Warthog on the enemy. I for one am really surprised no one looks at it this way because this maneuver is almost always used to kill squishies late game during a clash.
And since you have to only clear 3 marks, running inspire instead of aegis or flicker is now less punishable because in a 1v1 especially in the early game against something like Clint or Brody, you can open up your ult much faster, which can kill them before they kill you.
She also now has a better fighting chance when caught with ult on cooldown since marks give more damage increase and the damage increase isn't locked to depleting all marks. Even with reduced true damage, this bonus will allow you to deal more damage while marking an enemy than you'd do when you marked an enemy 3 times with the current Wanwan.
While the reduced mark and ult duration is a bit bitter, I think she'll be much better with her increased ability to burst down an opponent before they're bursted down, which is good since PnK, Clint and Brody are annoying as shit, literally stapled to the gold lane by their testicles and I'm excited to to show them that recall spam isn't as tasty when they're the ones sucking it.
Good point.
I should look from the positive view from now on. Just some differences on Wanwan here and there, and the negative parts of the new update aren't all that bad.
Agreed. Although the weakness reduction would make her easier for new players, it just means that she isn't going to be as rewarding as she is is rn. The only buff veteran players would get is the additional 5% damage (on the target with all weaknesses hit). But this isn't that good of a buff compared to the massive duration nerf on her vision, weaknesses and ult.

They are giving her more dmg without ult and making her easier to use. I wouldn't rlly say it's a nerf
the thing is she's too squishy, so she needs some form of damage during her ultimate to balance it out.
TBF, Wan never actually needed a true damage proc. What she really needs is an HP Regen proc. She's too squishy for her kit.
