No point dwelling on this though, the problem has been eradicated. Mission accomplished.
Did you just say that ur mission was to make the skill useless? Hm, its just that i thought that ur goal was a constructive discussion to make it balanced like you said numerous times. Guess i was wrong.
Mission objective: make the game worth playing again for non-tank builds.
Mission accomplished.
Did they overnerf Cage? Yes, sure (should've kept dmg since they made it dodgeable imo). But that's a whole lot better than the alternative.
They're gonna work on the ability next update & hopefully make it worth using (but not overpowered).

I tested the new RC in half an hour of OW Cyro yesterday. It's just as awful as expected. Guess I'll slot mines instead.

According to the patch notes they’re going to add a visual. Hence, working on the ability means making dodging it easier. I’ll be surprised if they come up with something useful for the caster.
Rune Prison:
Decreased the duration of the stun applied by this ability and its morphs to 3.5 seconds from 5 seconds.
This ability and its morphs can now be dodged.
Rune Cage (morph):
Decreased the damage done from this ability by approximately 20%.
This ability now only deals damage if the stun lasts for its full duration.
Developer Comment:
We have more changes planned for this ability in a future patch that will improve the messaging of when the stun will apply.
