I think its pretty good at covering the train wreck that has been this character. Although I don't agree with everything, it's much more constructive than Andrew Chickens recent video on her (not that that video was bad, just that it didn't suggest any meaningful changes beyond bug fixes).

To make myself clear off the start, this is NOT what I am outright requesting for Silver, its mostly a conversation starter on how I would like to see Silver changed in future. Obviously the two biggest problems with Silver is that she's a tank who can't tank and she is heavily pro jailed when she is balanced thanks to an especially strong lane and mid game which plays neatly into the pro-meta. So with that in mind, here's my proposal:

- Silver: Bullet damage adjusted from 5.1+0.117/boon to 4.7+0.172/boon.
(This results in a 8.5% DPS decrease at base and a 16% DPS increase at 35 boons)

- Silver: Base health reduced from 830 to 780.

- Silver: Health per boon increased from 28 to 36.
(This takes her from 1810 to 2040 at 35 boons, or from 3005 to 3386 at max vitality invest)

- Silver: Lycan Curse base bullet damage reduced from 25 to 20.

- Silver: Lycan Curse now provides +5% bullet and spirit Resistance.

- Silver: Lycan Curse bonus health per boon increased from 15 to 20.

- Silver: Lycan Curse T1 changed from '+15% Bullet and Spirit Resistance' to '+4m/s Move Speed and 15% Debuff Resistance'

- Silver: Lycan Curse T2 changed from '+4m/s Move speed and 200 Bonus Health' to '+18% Bullet and Spirit Resistance'

- Silver: Lycan Curse T3 now heals 15% of missing health on kill.

These changes would ideally take away a fair bit of her punch in the early game in exchange for doing the opposite late game. The increase in health alongside the increase to her resistances in ult should hopefully enable her to tank a lot better as the game progresses and actually enable her to frontline again rather than being an assassin who can occasionally off-tank.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this and if there would be anything you'd change/add!

The amount of people I see championing the idea that Yoshi should make Silver a stance character is insane. I understand that Silver’s balance at the moment is a hot topic, but I don’t think making her a stance character fixes her. Here’s my main points against it:

- It dampens Silver’s character design by giving the player, and by extension her, control over her CURSE which just removes so much flavour and novelty from the character.

- The wolf form would have to be balanced against the human form more tightly, likely leaving the wolf form on a similar power level to standard characters but obviously more specialised.

- It removes the design space for having a proper stance character in the future.

- It wouldn’t address any of her balancing problems as she’d effectively be a whole new character with her own balancing issues.

I understand the frustration from some Silver players regarding her balance and feeling like triggering the ult feels like an aim check, but I think she is so much more interesting in her current state than just ‘I press 4’.

To preface this, the latest set of Silver changes have been growing on me. I think improving her ability to farm via Slam Fire is the start of a more well rounded direction for her and if changes like that continue, it may improve the disparity between her average win rate and that at the pro level.

However - can we be serious for a minute. On launch, Lycan’s curse could give up to 35% of each resist and her ult T3 obviously used to give you a massive heal. In contrast, now she only gets 15% resist after her T1 and her T3 is still pretty good but obviously doesn’t heal you anymore. Also worth noting that she has the same health scaling as REM. Simply put - she isn’t really a full tank anymore.

That’s fine btw, I love playing her still. But it is very frustrating when the matchmaking pigeonholes her into a role she’s not really made for anymore imo. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, I’m not 100% sold on her being an assassin either as she is kinda both, but I feel that role suits her a touch better than tank when you compare her survivability late game to the likes of Abrams/Billy/Mo&Krill.

Pretty much the title. In light of the new patch I really have to lock in and get some non-Silver wins but I find most of the cast to not even be half has fun as Silver. Currently, Pocket, Seven, and Graves are my off-mains but Seven is getting really state and I’m so so on Graves (love Pocket tho).

Who do you guys really enjoying playing outside of Silver?

Any feedback would be appreciated !!!

Anyone know the closest IRL equivalent of Silver's jacket? Wanting to cook up a lazy cosplay but struggling to find something that is close to her in game boots and jacket...

Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
