My Shinobi Experience in Tournament | Forums

Why? So he can just safely throw ranged attacks the entire time?

Actually, because they are nerfing the defensive meta so after a parry, you no longer get as much free damage.
So in the same spirit of the defensive meta nerf, Shinobi should get more hp and/or be less punished after a ranged attack.

Him using range is kinda of a form of turtling. Not all characters can cover the distance to punish him if he's at max range. I still feel he shouldn't allowed to throw heavies at range with little to no risk.

Little to no risk !?!? At my MMR, people counter any range move you do 90% of the time (unless you baited them into attacking while you backflip)

In other words, 90% of the time, you're going to lose 40-50% of your hp if you dare use your ranged attacks.

Do you read what he said? At full range!
And thats right, not every hero can punish him at every range, because he stands up pretty fast.

But i still think he shouldn't be thrown down, but pulled to the enemy to get him in close combat distance

If you can parry hem to the point that his atack is useles then blocking should not be a problem so if he only uses range atacks then its like saying "so you give a conq/warlord tons of hp and block from all directions so they can turtle the entire time ?" see ? your argument is pointles...

Shinobi is fine. Decent player can turn him into a real pain.
