What's with all the Shaman hate? | Forums

[Sad.Boi_Hours]

That’s a rather counter intuitive look on it, as the very first one is made of community votes and what people believed were the strongest characters and keep in mind that that tier list is only a few months old. And just because you decided to be lax and not check the other three out, the other three had correlating characters for the S rank. But considering you’re only here to call Shaman cheesy and one of the top 3 without evidence or any actual argument, I could bet you know about as much as me when it comes to what you’re talking about.

Warden top pick... with nobushi second... is no where near current and is most likely the top picks from season 2.

Thats the only tier list that matters. Everything else is heresay and personal opinions.

You forget the bite damage and after the bite enemies can still attack you. Plus the bleed application is 50/50 move.

+heal and tracking is really crazy even if you know she will jump and you are ready to dodge she will caught you in the middle of the dodge. I have seen it many times even on top players. They should tone the tracking down a bit coz right now its ridiculous

Shaman is typically hated because of her leaping heavies and her bleed bite does massive damage and returns health and stamina. Combine that with her exceptional feint game, lightning fast bleed stabs, and you've got yourself one of the most chaotic and obnoxious heroes in the game.

That said, OP is a strange word. I personally hate playing as Shaman and I'm not good with her at all.

I used centurion in his prime days all the way up to rep 13 and I got hate but so what Im playing something the devs put in that not my fault. its the same with shaman use her despite the hate but the reason she gets so much hate is her kit has more diversity than any other so she has so much more moves that we have to be aware of when fighting against her so it makes it really hard, she has soft feints everywhere, she has soft feints GB, soft feints bleed, throw distance with headbutt is the furthest throw in the game, she has healing ability and a really strong OOS damage, she has unblockables, she can guarantee a bite from a throw, she had side dodge heavies, very good tracking on her lunge heavy etc thats nearly every ability in the game, most heroes have one or two abilities to mix up but her she has too much to play with imo.

If you like her play her that's all.

The 4 Char i enjoy the most are Kensei (even far before rework), Shaman, Zerk and Valk ...

Well 3 of them are now top 3, 4 and 5 in rankings... while Valk is the worst of all char ..

Play what you like that's all.. Sham is very fun

[Tyrfing_.]

I agree with Siegfried.
Play what appeals to you the most. People will hate anyone who beats them. Just look at the forum. Everyday you have another hero that somebody wants nerfed. Think we had them all by now.
I would say that is also a sign that FH is pretty well balaced by now.
Personally I like my Shaman - on the other hand I do not fear to play against her at all. For my taste, there are far worse heros arrond that regularly trigger my hate.
All down to personal taste ... and the hero you use yourself.

Well it bothers me because I don't enjoy using what everyone hates or considers OP. It makes me feel like I'm being cheesy, and especially getting hate for enjoying Shaman and her playstyle. I don't like playing on unfair advantages, and I'd rather have the disadvantage however I don't like WEAK characters. Bottom line is, I'm sure Shaman players get hate for their main and I know I have in duels and brawls. Furthermore, if she's considered a crutch, I'd rather not play her as it means I'm getting some help and that without her I'd be doing ****tier. Heck, I've been looking into a couple very different characters as mains simply because I'm sick of hearing all about how she's a cheesy ******** character to pick. I've thought of Gladiator, Highlander, and Shugoki who all have what I'm sure everyone could agree on are incredibly different playstyles but I'm told to stick with one character to a higher rep, but with all the hatred it's been bothering me so much I've considered switching to one of the aforementioned characters.

And I guess really when I look at this post it's more me questioning my decision to play Shaman, just because I enjoy a challenge more than playing with a crutch and ever since I've seen content on Shaman, it's put her in a whole new light and it's hard to play her without feeling dirty. This sounds more dramatic than I'm intending it to be. Oh well, yeah I just need some advice n help from some more experienced players with all this.

Who cares what everyone else thinks. If you like the character and enjoy playing her, then play her.

People plead for balance, but the only way to truly achieve balance is to make all the characters the same, and frankly that’s just boring and takes away from character diversity. Skill is the only true balance to this game, unfortunately match making can be a pain in the ***.

IMO, I think she needs some tweaking but I wouldn’t consider her OP. She has a lot of different moves at her disposal that makes her really annoying.

Her throw range and her leaping distance should be brought in line with the rest of the roster.

Her bite is only effective if she bleeds you, be patient when fighting her. Or just light attack when you see it coming. If you don’t see it coming, well that’s on you.

Let players get salty, it makes them easier to beat.

Every hero in the roster has a hate thread dedicated to them whether they deserve it or not, that's just how this community is. Also, every hero in the roster has something that can be abused so much that it becomes annoying to deal with, with no exceptions. That's just how the game is.

So just play the character(s) you personally like best and ignore anyone trying to hero shame you because at the end of the day that's their problem and not yours.

Ok...so what I got from this is that she’s a decent hero with a decent win rate but she’s not one of the top 3. Glad to know ty.
