    Valk shield vortex spam

    Do I even need to explain or has this already been addressed? Seriously starting to get annoyed so much by Ubisoft. Do they not ****ing play their own games? It's genuinely absurd how almost every hero on this game has some attack that's ****ed up.

    Are you talking about revenge or not? Cause she does not have a vortex either way, but yes infinite knockdown in revenge is a bit busted although in her case her heavy damage is so low it almost isnt even an issue. Not like conq/WL anyways.

    If you get shield crushed don't dodge spam. The sweep can be dodged on reaction and heavily punished, otherwise block or tech the GB. You start dodge spamming and you'll be giving up free GBs. There is nothing like a vortex here just noob stomping tactics.

    Learn how to dodge and punish before crying buckets full of tears. Why are you blaming Ubisoft for not playing their own games while clearly you do not even understand how to counter a Valk. I would say play the game yourself, learn that class that you THINK needs a nerf and learn how other people counter that move.

    The Valk is capable of constantly knocking you down and getting a free heavy with revenge. Before you can even recover the shield bash knocks you down again for a free heavy. How the **** am I supposed to counter a move that can't be countered? Get Ubis **** out of your mouth and gtfo if you've got nothing useful to say.

    Yes, the infinite knockdown with revenge. I had 1/2 HP left and she killed me within 4 hits using this broken move. What do you mean it's not an issue?

    Even without revenge, the game is too unresponsive to ****ing dodge. I usually start hitting dodge even before that idiot feetswipe is started and my char won't move. Locked forever in an unending ********. Same goes for most unblockable combo spams. (no change against the buffed LB as well it's just rtidiculous)

    Hahahaha, okay 3 things mate.

    1. I'm stating a fact, not an opinion. Valks shield knockdown is faulted and needs fixing. If you both would have read or actually asked what I'm talking about before jumping to conclusion you would have realized that.

    2. I'm sure any lass on these forums is fully capable of backing up their own arguments or opinion without needing big white knight like you stepping in.

    3. What the **** are you talking about hahahahahaaha stuck your nodachi up your *** mate lmaoo

    In my opinion, the Valkyrie's "Vortex," wouldn't be as much of an issue if her cancel into the shield slam wasn't so friggin' fast.

    The reason the goddarn Warden vortex is a problem is that it cancels into a GB, and a dodge will always give him, an unavoidable GB->Heavy combo. Your light attack MIGHT stop the GB if done fast enough, but in this case an immediate-fire shoulder bash will land, and if you hesitate, you're hit with the shoulder anyways. It's a frickin' UB skill. So basically you're in a disadvantaged mind game being forced to choose 50/50 from a quickfire skill, because you can't be watching for the toplight/ZA 1-button quickfire 50/50 at the same time as watching out for the shoulder/GB 50/50.

    The Valkyrie? No such problems.

    Dodge -- situation over.
    Problem not solved. You don't have enough time to recover before being hit with another shield bash that takes you down for a free heavy. It's an infinite combo that can't be escaped.
