The latest Patch notes has a massive Brimstone Nerf in them that no one seems to be talking about

Just a week after making Brimstone somewhat playable they nerf him gain by making it so that Sova arrows and Raze roombot now spot you inside his THICK DUSTY SMOKES

"Fixed issue where various abilities did not work inside Brimstone and Jett’s smoke, even when they were visible to their target"

This has been like this since the BETA and was even multiple times used in an argument by the devs to use it as a postive/advantage for Brimstone.

I can understand this for Jett as they are instant smokes but hers have also been like this since the Beta (and she just last patch got hit by a nerf reducing her smoke time for 7 to 4.5 seconds).

Did a Riot dev just not know these were intended like this or did this really get unnoticed for almost a year since the Beta to them?

Brim mains know how huge this is. You can't try to outplay super strong abilities like a Raze Roombot/Sova arrow anymore by hiding in a smoke (say you use a Brim smoke to smoke while defusing, a sova arrow wouldn't reveal you previously with how thick the smokes were but would in Omen's smokes because they're hollow).
