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

This is not true, facts not opinion. Valky got for her light string 15f/15/18f , Peacekeeper got 15f/12f...pk is faster. Both are on 15f for the starter, which is regular on the majority of heros, the 2nd light is faster. Overall is the pk faster.

It is possible for a valk to chain the shield bash and legsweep combo that it is literally unavoidable. And that's just plain unbalanced.

There should be a cooldown on the knockdown strikes. Even with it being "dodgeable" (because 3 frames worth of leeway is super balanced, y'all) the whole idea of a class being able to chain knockdown strikes like that is absurd.

This is just another salty post. Play as the Valk before you whine about how badly you got bent over because you didn't know how to stop her, and yes, she has a 1-2 "Vortex" combos that can pretty much do 100% damage. More importantly though most of her damn kit is 50/50 gambles. If you play a good Valk you could see over 16 mixups...if you play a crap Valk you will see 3 "Vortex" centered combos...she's not op...you're just not good enough...ps I constantly have high level players parry my lights, and I can do the same so her attack speed isn't "too much" and same goes for PK...so sick of babies

The Valkyries sweep CANT BE SIDESTEPPED ANYMORE WHY IS THIS NOT BIENG FIXED

Hello, valk main here, I'm going to tell you there have been numerous times my leg sweep has been side stepped, it's not hard, the only time she's guaranteed to get a leg sweep off you is from a throw, or she somehow manages to hit you with 2 lights. The leg sweep coming off her shield bash is so slow it's easily avoided, and is the easiest time to side step, or step back. If you do get leg swept, just start spamming your dodge button, and don't forget to block any attacks coming in too.

Throws and the 2 stamina combos are the only guaranteed sweeps, after 2 lights is not true.

If you do get leg swept, just start spamming your dodge button, and don't forget to block any attacks coming in too.

This is also wrong, spaming doesnt work, it is a fairly big timewindow.

All you fuqboys saying she's fine because your spamming a$$es use her.

most people I play against dodge the sweep

also, the vortex costs a ****load of stamina. You can't do it twice in a row without backing off. You get it done once, then you get 1 free heavy until you're tapped out for stamina.

That's not OP. So basically, we have to execute a 3 touch combo to get you on our *** to get ONE heavy hit on you, then we're 1000% vulnerable to throw, stun, etc.

everyone at higher levels blocks the top lunge, wait for light attack and parry-> free counter hit on valk and she won't have enough stamina to do any of her disable combos.

Lol the sweep is easy to dodge.

You don't understand what i said. If you get parred (let's say) and then guardbreak+ trhow you will run out of stamina and fall off your feet .On this particular situation valkyrie can do (while you are on the ground) l+l+leg sweep .YOU CAN'T DODGE THIS ONE PARTICULAR LEG SWEEP.

Valk is extremely OP having the fastest attacks in the game, not even PK is as fast

Valk starter light attack is the same speed as Warden top light, kensei top light, orochi top light, beserker side light and Pk starter light attack. Look up youtube or google it. Facts not opinion so can't moan about Valk anymore with your current reasoning. Her mix up is so easily punishable if you react quick enough. I love it being a Kensei main and seeing Valks spam their sweep against me. Thanks for the free GB

However when a valk GB/parries you and you're out of stamina then you will take a large amount of damage. But that's literally 1 situation whereas other chars get free damage whenever they want with their broken mechanics... Warden vortex, warlord headbutt spam, PK aoe, Conq shield bash to name a few!

Please for the love of god stop crying for nerfs 24/7. Just cause someone probably kicked your arse with Valk doesn't mean they're OP it means they know their class and beat you with skill! No wonder the devs have done **** all trying to balance this game when half the community is so butthurt about a class not many fully understand. I was told I was OP playing a ****ing Kensei because he has unblockable overhead... yeah the slow as hell one that's easy to parry... Just learn the damn character to better understand it.
