Valkyrie must be nerfed. | Forums

[Sonrk]

Valk is supposed to be annoying in multi person fights it's literally the thing she is designed to excel at. yet she is not good enough to be used in competitive 2v2. Maybe if 4v4 is ever a thing. Valk is fine.

It's not so much as a problem in 1v1, but rather the "disabler" trait being too powerful in multi enagements. I can dodge out of the unblockables or sweeps most of the times in 1v1, but in a multi engagement it is a bitt much too spamworthy.

Yes, Shug is also a monster with the OniC and DemE from your flanks, but purely from the amount of repetition/spamming, the Valk's a lot more annoying -- and this is usually what riles people up. I don't mind the shield charge coming from my flanks, it's not spammed as fast, but the combos with sweeps.. ugh

that's the idea when getting ganked to be able to fend of the enemy that sweep in becoming less viable as every is learning how to dodge the right way.

funny how people still think she is op... if you could punish a warden or conq in that many ways like you can punish the valk they would all scream for a buff.. ofc it is annoying to get sweept in 4vs4 with no big chance to punish her.. but take a look at Lawbringer? Shugoki? Conq? Shieldbash... Pancake... Backbreaker... you guys even realise that you can hit your own teammates with sweep so they will fall down too? While Shugoku can easy grab you and his team can bash the **** out of your useless body... or get knocked down from shieldbash followed by an heavy while you are on the ground and eat all the heavys from the sides... nahhhh Valk is hard over powered.. plz nerf... buff Warden.. buff PK give the people what they want.. remove the other Heros from For Honor so we dont need to chose which Meta Hero we will pick....

Yeah even in team fights valk is the worst disabler I would say. She's pretty safe and deals with shutting down revenge fairly well in teamfights thx to shield tackle and it's all block property. But the main problem is that 2 of her disables can hinder allies pretty bad. The sweep knocks down allies and in such a case only the valk gets a heavy, shield tackle can also stagger allies and even knock them down sometimes I believe it will even stun them in which case only the valk will get a light on the person being shield tackled, unless close enough to a wall then she can heavy.

Compare that to LB long arm which does not hinder allies at all and allows for up to 2 heavies from allies and even maybe a heavy himself. Then shugo grab which is pretty much instant death from full health if there is an ally around in most cases.

Also further going into valk shield tackle it has a weird interaction when it's about to collide with an enemy. For some reason it will travel up to right in front of the enemy and then there is a brief delay before the impact actually happens making the dodge window on this move exceptionally large. Also thanks to this brief delay if your target is in revenge he can actually interrupt the shield tackle with a GB before the impact occurs fairly easily. Not to mention her sweep can't be activated on it's own and requires either 2 lights, a no charge shield tackle, or a shield crush to chain out of. Shield crush also can't be activated on it's own and has pretty bad range/tracking, although cancelling a heavy startup to get into it isn't too bad.

I think it's also important to note that in general Valk hits like a wet noodle with the weakest heavies in the game next to conq I believe.

No, just no. She's one of the most predictable characters, stop it.

Valk is currently at a good spot, but there is an issue generaly with spamable powerfull moves like most unblockables.

I do main Berserker and i do not have any problems against valk, exept one thing.
Its her Shield Tackle (jumping back and knock you down)

Here is an example of the abuse of her attack.

And no it isn't only a problem in 4v4

I fought against some Valks who do ONLY turtle behing Shild Tackle if they start to lose and thats really annoying, sure you can dodge it but it's not allways that easy because they can faint it and do other stuff then just letting it go.

Valk can be punished is tackle is missed so just deal with it
