These substantial adjustments aim to promote more tactical play:

Riot developers note that Jett's excessive smokes enabled spamming and easy escapes. Post-nerf, Jett mains must choose wisely between dashes and smokes in tight spots. The Blade Storm tweak demands precise knife work and emphasizes primary weapon skill.

These changes promise a major shift toward tactical depth, potentially lowering Jett's pick rate and fostering a more balanced agent meta.
