I don't think her setups will be gone, though. I can't really believe they're going through with all those nerfs, especially the added recovery on jumping deploy (which actually upsets me the most). If they do, I can see myself spending meter on oki sword RCs only, and that's pretty dumb.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, it will still be possible to do at least one dust loop on every character even with +8 recovery on j.8D, so the hours in pmode won't be going to waste. That's like 20-30 damage less than before. Maybe you need a certain setup like a corner juggle with c.S, s.HS with sword equipped to pull off 2 reps, but who knows.
Still going to play Ram even if she's going to be lowest of low.
