How is Valkyrie rework? | Forums

[Valkmain67]

I gotta lol a bit at the complaint at the start "she was reworked and now I have to play her different! Boo!" like...it's a rework lmao.

And her shield tackle was BS. You could not punish it. Only punish what she chose to do from it. It deserved to be nerfed.
She's got more options of loops now due to the new combo strings. And her old sweep combo is now not an inf but instead confirms 35 damage as an ender. that's damn strong considering how fast new sweep is.

Her damage and recovery pre rework was poor. Shield crush never gave you anything. She only had her OP shield tackle and her some what nice shoulder pin combo. This new kit regardless of wether or not she's lost some of her quirk is a lot more viable.

Yes I agree knight we will all have to get use to her rework but for me I dont think I can even play her anymore. And yes i may be a ***** but after other character reworks the character still felt like that character. Conq still felt like Conq, Orochi still felt like orochi just on speed, Warden still feels like warden but in valkyrie’s case she doesnt feel like a valkyrie anymore im sorry 😕 The reason I picked valk as one of my mains was because she had a very unique move set and hidden tech and was this big powerful female viking and if you ****ed up fighting her you would get sent flying across the room. Those characteristics made her so fun to play as and the fact they took all of her identity and unique moves away from her just so she can be ‘meta’ is sad and disappointing and it now sucks having her on your team because she stops teamate executions and trips ****ing everyone lol but i do admit its really funny

Be glad your main got a rework.

I’m a shugoki main and I still have to wait two more seasons.

Suck it up.

Might as well take all the ninjas kicks and long range attacks and grabs and just give him more combos it would be no fun and then call it "more versatile".

People should actually play for 2-3 days first before complaining...

For me, the most challenging thing first is to change my muscle-memory on the spear sweep. Although I did not play her much any more recently, that might still take some time to fix...

When me and my friend tested Valk and Warden rework yesterday, I told him, that I will see a lot of "You nerf and broke my char" threads around forum. I never thought, that this could happend, but I was compleatly wrong about devs plans.=)
I thought they will made Valky new OP, cause a lot of people made threads about how weak she was. And I expected, that we will see same post as about Kensei and Conq after season 5 and Rochi after season 6. Nerf it! Stop it!
But, instead, dev team made a great job I should say.
I have a fight with Valky in Dominion, and this was compleatly different. No more waiting in full block, no more infinite sweep combo. Now this character, who should think, what she is doing.=)
Same with Warden. My first thought was "They nerfed him", but after an hour of practice, I should say he is a good fighter now. So much thing to do, so much options, no more shoulder bash or die. So cool.
You guys just need to get used to new reworks. That's all.=)

My biggest issue is the moving of the sweep to GB instead of a Back-Heavy. Now after the 2nd strike from a Valk all someone has to do is side dodge. This will dodge an attack or the sweep. I liked having the ability to do a GB after the 2nd strike because people would always just try to dodge that sweep and I could catch them. Now with sweep moved to GB, the finisher can just always be avoided with a dodge whether it be a strike or a sweep.

I feel like they turned Valk into what Warden used to be.

After playing her a bit, her Shield Bash is nearly unpunishable and she can vortex people indefinitely.

I certainly feel dirty when I play her now as opposed to before.

Same dirty, when you could involve people into infinite sweep combo? When with right timings people just can't dodge it?
