Shadow Step

The "Shadow Step" is a walking technique where one moves completely silent, almost subconsciously, regardless of how fast they're walking. Individuals who exhibit the ability to perform the technique often carry similar traits such as loneliness, introverted life styles, or feelings of disassociation/indifference towards their life. The "Step" cannot be taught or learned conventionally, however the most consistent method of acquisition is through meeting two conditions, the first being an acceptance of lack of self worth or feelings of non belonging in individuals, almost seeing ones self as a ghost in their own life and the second condition being to hold an approximated weight of less than 180 lbs or 81 kg. Increases in confidence in individuals possessing the Shadow Step, will result in a gradual loss in consistency of the technique overtime and one will notice foot steps become heavier as confidence grows.

Person A: "Woah, I didn't even hear you walk up behind me! The room was empty when I turned around. Where did you come from?"
Person B: "I get that a lot unfortunately, its called the Shadow Step"

Shadow Nerf

When game developers nerf a game aspect/character and don't announce it or include the change in any patch notes.

Did the new character get a shadow nerf? His fire rate feels much slower than it did before the new update, but I don't see any changes to him in the patch notes.
