Petal has been improved significantly from update 1.9 to the current Blackfeather update 1.11. Only the most dedicated of Petal lovers or new players ever use Petal now. For those you who don't know, Petal was at her prime after update 1.8, before they revamped all of her abilities. Sure, there were some issues with her, but Petal was a much more versatile player then compared to now. Her relatively new B ability is still a little too clunky and awkward, people used to play Petal because she was a great in the lane. Now however, her position has been changed to exclusively Roam or Jungle. Petal's trampoline ability also gets her into a lot of trouble when chasing enemies, as she frequently jumps right into a gank. Petal's ultimate, although improved, her munions can now be relatively easy to destroy leaving Petal only one or two explosions that don't really deal enough damage. The change in Petal's seeds to being explosive is nice, but not quite a penalizing as they should be, perhaps with an overdrive and crystal ratio added this could be changed. In general, Petal just doesn't compare to the roundhouse roams: Catherine and Arden who can both while roaming easily take down poor Petal. Assassins, easily squish petal and warriors slaughter her. Petal's range being reduced really puts her in a dangerous position. She need to either become more tanky (a dangerous idea which could potentially make her OP) or increase her range by 1 or 1.5 m (a less drastic move). Increasing her range would be make Petal much more playable for the higher skill tiers, and if her B ability were changed to something such as ordering her munions to move to a certain spot so far away from her, it would grant Petal some much needed sight in regards to the bushes as well as enable petal to order her munions to go into the turret's range without Petal herself being at risk. Overall though Petal has been slowly but surely coming back into the Halcyon Fold, however she still has a ways to go before she can become a hero used by players of all skill tiers.
