Your entire post:

When he came out, he was pretty OP, and now that D:B-DEVs listened to the players, he is actually somewhat balanced I feel.
Sure, nerfing something often kicks it far back into the uselessness-zone, but that hasn’t happened with Phantom.
His cloak might be too obvious to see, but on the other hand he got that Katana that let’s him one-hit-kill smaller Mercs and kill other Mercs pretty quick since the 2nd follow-up Swordstrike is landed very fast…
He should be some kind of a glasscannon, but right now, he is in the middle, he is and isn’t such a glasscannon.
He has cloak and good strong melee, which can be the weapons of a glasscannon (see Spy in TF2), but he also has decent-low health, a very very good SMG, IMHO the best pistol and his cloak also functions as a shield.
His stealth-gameplay does not fully work since his cloak might be far too easy to see, but on the other hand he can be relatively “tanky” for a glasscannon (from my personal point of view) and deal out some serious damage (Melee: Katana, the Kek10 is a strong all-rounder-SMG that excels in CQC).
That doesn’t really fit with a melee-cloak-glass-cannon, IMO.
Edit: On a sidenote, OP: Please, do not start a thread again with such a simple rant as
“I feel like weeweeweeaboo” and then leave it at that.
At least localize the problem and/or offer some solutions, but not even 2 whole sentences… ^^

I know I’ve posted this a ton of times and I sound like a broken record at this point…but
This is how cloak was before the nerf
If you’re telling me that this was too hard to see, or hear…get your senses checked.
If the current is still too hard…just quit playing now. Because I guarantee you it’s only going to get harder and harder when they add the other mercs in.

Phantoms are still doing well with the recent nerfs which just goes to show how OP he was before. All that needs changing is the way melee works ( although the phantoms im seeing don’t seem to be having a problem hitting the target. )
You just need to be a decent FPS player to use him now and not just any old joe who fancies ruining a game by using a OP lame class. While running in only using his Katana and never having to use your gun or know how to aim it.
