I’ve had my games against them, and what’s up with the constant light speed UD UB attacks? It’s literally impossible to fight against them. Whoever said they aren’t broken has no idea what they’re talking about. It’s literally spam™️ the character. Most miserable fucking fights I’ve ever had.
Most of her offense is unreactable soft feints that bleed which goes into a 35 damage bite that also heals her. I’m also certain that if you get hit by her zone, or are put into any sort of hit stun, the bleed is guaranteed. I understand you’re not supposed to be able to react to her bleeds but holy shit? Why would I want to fight a hero I have zero chance of reacting to? Not to mention her zone is actually fucking cracked, with five options.
Unless they’re a deflect god, you can destroy their entire kit by dodge -> gb. Easy as.
I should preface I am not losing intentionally. A majority of my games are in dom and brawls. I will typically have the most kills and captures. I will post updates. I am currently at 102 losses in a row.
She has wayyy too many soft feint options that are way too unpredictable. I firmly believe shaman is S tier and has way too many options to access one of if not the most damaging attack in the game. She extended beyond the need for reads, you CANNOT read her.
There ARE some niche mechanics, and I understand if some players don’t understand some of them, the shield banner spawn times is one example. HOWEVER. It shouldn’t be difficult to have SOME game sense. Push RAMPARTS. We do NOT have to push the ram right away. If we haven’t made it past the first rampart and the ram has made it TO THE GATE, STOP PUSHING THE RAMPART. Go STRAIGHT to the Cauldron. The arrows suck and will damage the ram, but the cauldron will OBLITERATE our ram. Taking points is NO LONGER a viable option. We NEED the shield banners, you should most definitely drop whatever you are doing and disrespect the opponent holding it to the most VILE degree. STOP FIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! ESPECIALLY if you’re an attacker. This does nothing but grind our offense to a halt, this is a huge win for the defenders, even if they don’t win. I’m sick of queuing with tard randoms who don’t even know how to play the game. PUSH POINTS. PUSH RAM. HOG THE CAULDRON.
She was always a pain in the ass to fight before her buff, now you’re telling me you get hit with 30 damage? “But you could dodge out of her mix up!!!” Are you telling me you’ve never heard of the feint button? She didn’t need UDs, and if you think she did you’re just not good at the game.
