[Netcode_err_404]

I find funny she has a lot of free heavy attacks ( and they deal lot of damage), when LB don't have any free attack except a light top with literally 0 damage.

She's not all that bad on the damage front. What makes her OP is her speed and the free attacks she gets with her crowd control spam. She has so many knockdown options that it makes it unnecessarily and unfairly difficult to play against her.

Allow me to quote you from the Peacekeeper thread that is currently directly below this one:

"I'm detecting a hint of 'Mad'. I prescribe this remedy. Take 200mg of 'Git Gud' and call me in the morning."

So Valkyrie is OP (because of her "spam") but Peacekeeper is fine? Comedy gold.

You need to know the diffrence when you CAN'T get up your feet before the next sweep it id only because you fall to the ground out of stamina.Berserker have this ability as well

The 200 mg of git gud, is a medical techical term to say Peacekeepers.

Aha! Trying to use my own words against me. Clever, but not nearly clever enough.

Surely you can see that there's a very palpable difference between a blockable light attack spam vs a stun + attack chain spam.

If you can't see then allow me to explain it to you in terms you can understand. One remains intact the ability of the opposing player to control their character, the other takes control of the character away from the player until they die.

Pretty simple stuff right?

[Mr_Gallows]

Blockable light attack spam? Throw in feints and zone attack. Then no. On pc the PK is a bit problematic, but on console she's the most toxic character.

I think we would like to have a discusion, what we need are arguments & facts. We already got more than enough opinions.
So:

She's not all that bad on the damage front.

Would be very kind of you to show is how good Valky is on the damage front. How high is her damage after a gb in comparison? How high is it after an opener?

What makes her OP is her speed ...

Which speed are you talking about? The regular 15frames light attacks, the 15frame 2nd light in an attack chain, the 18f fast light chain finisher or the super fast zone attack? What kind of fast moves she got? Compared to an Orochi or Warden, she seems rather slow. (A pk is even fast than these too.)
The majority of heros got a 15frame light attack, only 1 got a faster one (pks 2nd light) and only a few got zones that are at 12frames or faster...valky is not even close to this. So pls, what kind of speed are u talking about?

... the free attacks she gets with her crowd control spam. She has so many knockdown options that it makes it unnecessarily and unfairly difficult to play against her.

Could you pls tell us every knockdown option & crowd control tool with every guaranteed damage? She is still a disabler, so maybe a comparison to the other hero like that, like Shugo, Warlord, LB, Raider. What makes her exactly so good?

[Mr_Gallows]

The valkyries light attacks are faster than the PK light attacks except the second PK light combo.
