The big thing with the ling is dealing with prey's ability to scream over the radio. With the current set-up, the only ways to avoid someone screaming "ling" over the radio is to use neurotoxin, feed on collaterally dead bodies, or perform traditional murder. With only one ling ability existing to actually stealthily do this and the remaining to deal with screwing up a stealthy take-down, it doesn't really seem to promote the desired subterfuge. The abilities currently now only promote tactics for very-noisily dealing with said screw-ups.
With stealth tactics, the tactics involving bringing people to ling-dens almost unaltered, with the only difference being that there's one less option than before. The ling seems to have been originally designed to be a stealth assassin, which completely conflicts with the new mentality of every fight being a "fair" fight or a flee-able fight.
The point is, lings just need multiple ways to make it so people can't scream about them over the radio if they've carefully planned ahead.
