I've read a lot of complaints on this matter and not even one positive opinion on what the last update did with shadowstepping. It seems to me that A.net is thinking PvP again.
It was a cool ability to use in PvE, that gave a bit of an edge to assasins who are frowned upon in PvE as it is. Now with the update one of the few uses they had left is gone. I don't think it was a PvE exploit that caused the update.
From what I'm reading, it seems people think this nerf of shadowstepping makes the assasin almost useless in PvP too.

A.net has proved time and again that they listen and respect the players' opinions. So, if the majority of the community wants shadowstep to work the way it did before the 6/01 update, I'm sure they will restore it's function. That is why I'm starting this petition.
(This is not about the increase of Aura of Displacement's recharge time, only about the way shadowsteping works).

Petition: Restore the function of shadowstepping to what it was before the 6/01 update.

Maybe to prevent the easiness of chest runs or in GvG where assasins had the clear advantage as a runner since they had almost a 0 time return trip. I don't necessarily agree with this update but I think its necessary.
