· After Neon's speed nerf, the reduced speed when jumping makes it difficult to dodge Breach's stuns.
· Speed decreases further on slopes, making her vulnerable to stuns.
· Previously, 'bunny hopping' could negate the movement speed reduction from stuns, but now she can only move at normal speed, making her an easy target.

· When Neon uses the Shorty, the low ammo capacity makes it difficult to engage multiple enemies, and she's easily flanked.
· Buying a Bucky is more efficient, and depending on the round, the Judge might be a better choice.
· In some settings, you can no longer pull out the Shorty after sliding, making the Shorty almost useless for Neon.
