    Hey @Ubisoft watch this breakdown on the Shaman and tell us she isn't OP

    Found this video today while watching some of the R6 Siege videos and I thought it was a GREAT step by step explanation on how and why the Shaman is OP complete with combo breakdowns and gameplay video to back up what he is saying.


    I suggest everyone take a look.

    What he doesnt tell you is that everything she does can be parried and dodged with ease...he doesnt tell you that her unblockable attack only comes from one side and is slow as crap...pounce can be dodged easily and punished...it can also be stopped by a light attack since it doesnt have hyper armor....her zone can be parried since...its like the berserkers just a tad slower...i do agree that her lunge attack shouldn't be so far UNLESS there is a bleed effect on the target....tone it down maybe 10 to 15%...

    If was as easy as you claim there wouldn't be a pissed off army of people over the Shaman and how ridiculously OP she is when compared to other heroes in the game.

    Every time a new hero comes out it is op until people get used to fighting them (with the exception of centurian) she has a very low stamina pool and can be 3 shot fairly easy...it is very easy to counter a shaman...hell one parry and poof her stamina is gone....if you are not good at parry or to defensive you will have a hard time beating her...she is anti turtle big time....

    Well I am glad that kind of opinion is the minority otherwise she would never get the balance she so desperately needs right now. I just hope Ubisoft doesn't wait to long and lose all of the players that just came back.

    They cannot afford to ignore her like they did with the Centurion.

    Like i said...she judt came out and people dont know how to defend against her just yet...its sad people call nerf because they dont want to learn how to counter her....they just scream nerf instead of actually learning....just like Shinobi...they screamed nerf and they made shinobi useless until recently...learn to play Shaman....or practice against shaman bots...to learn how to counter her...its really not that hard...

    Once again...if it was as easy as you claim you wouldn't have the majority of players complaining like they are. The fact that its a LOT of people should tell you that its not just the butthurt minority that is complaining here.


    Is she counter-able? yes. But she is also LEAGUES ahead of any other hero in any other department. She is fast, she does huge amounts of damage and has an unblockable Shugoki tackle that not only comes out instantly for HUGE damage, but also heals her and restores her stamina bar in the process.


    She is broken. Her whole kit needs adjusting not just the speed of her attacks and thats whta Ubisoft will have to do if it wants to retain ANY of its players.



    People will NOT sit around for 2 months again while Ubisoft does NOTHING to balance a hero like they did with Centurion. Their decision on how to handle Shaman and how soon they make it will make or break this game for ALOT of players.

    An ungeared shaman can do 40+ damage with a side heavy. Shes a bleed damage character with high regular damage and a pounce that seems like it has 10-15 feet range. Oh she's OP alright.

    Her and Arumusa both are. His light spam is destroying on console. These Devs are complete idiots. I have no patience left for them, they don't know wtf they are doing. They definitely have no clue how to balance characters.

    She only tackles if the target is bleeding...and it can be dodged or she can be taken out of it by just attacking since she does not have hyper armor. The heal she gets isnt even that great...in no way a game changer....her stamina pool is very low...i think it is the lowest of all hero's...since 1 parry can put her out of stamina...she cant just keep spamming attacks like other hero's so she has high burst damage....low stam with high burst is a fair trade off...easily parried...easily punished if missing a pounce...like i said people calling for nerfs only because they dont know how to counter her just yet...

    Her pounce is basically unreactable, on console at least, maybe if she's 10 feet away. If she's close, you're done. She's a BS character like almost every other DLC character, they are all 10 times more in depth than any original hero.
