Nerfing multiple things to a certain issue is one of the better things, and either way, if the nerfs are too much, oh well, cait players had their time (KAPPA) they can just buff her up again, ever notice how, only extremely rarely do they only change 1 thing at a time? its because its the better way to deal with things like this, especially since patches only come out every 2 weeks, if she is still problematic, we would have to wait even longer with that in our games.
