How to help balance Shaman.. | Forums

[Alustar.exe]

Just wanted to be sure. I've only had that particular situation pop up twice and the first time I dodged both the first and second bite attempt and punished the second. The second instance I got nabbed by the second pounce because I wasn't close enough to punish but tried anyway because i'm overly aggressive and it gets me killed. a lot.

Same, I've lost more due to that than any other reason with my peacekeeper. Part of why I'm so glad to have shaman.is nice to see an aggressive assassin.

What if we remove her teeth?

Sure i dodge it about 20% Of the time when i Know its coming but i am above average player in duels. In a messy teamfight you can just forget about it. The Pounce does to much damage for the speed it has and should have a huge drawback like shugoki has if it misses and not just spam it again if you somehow manage to dodge the first one.

But the difference is that Shugoki had hyper armor, and cannot be interrupted during demons embrace, regenerate health and kills the opponent if the Shugoki is in critical.

Shaman can be smacked out of Mercy by anyone, is extremely vulnerable and only kills the opponent if they are almost dead anyway.

The problem here is it's a pretty key aspect of her kit that ensures survivability.
At this point is no more or less powerful than a Valkery and her CC combos.

I'll have to record one, but I'll give it a shot.
It's worth noting though, bots are not a good bench mark for player versus player, though.

There is one problem I have with the second pounce though I guess it would be the same on the first. If I go out of stamina in activating it, it does not affect the attempt at tackling the opponent. If I had missed that second pounce I would have been in trouble, especially against the berserker it came up against, but it seemed a little cheap. Of course when they change the tracking, it might be not as much of a problem if that second pounce suddenly becomes more reactable.

Does it matter what hero? Lol she's not impossible to beat just an annoying hero to go against like a pk on sterioids after they have tweak her numbers she will still be a very strong hero defentily has one of the best kits so its guna take a while for anyone to learn her moves I do think they should get less health from bleed and the bite does a bit more damage then it should but these are simple number tweaks I just hope it doesn't take a season and a half to do

That is why, if people are coherent in what is wrong rather than saying everything sucks and giving no reason beside that, it should be a quicker fix, it really is all in the numbers. And that is why the OP is right, Eric has said as much on Reddit as well, thought out posts that give the devs solid feedback are more useful to them and more likely to be acted on than the sky is falling posts. I don't think it will take as long as the centurion but if people want a particular thing prioritised they need to give balanced feedback.
