Valkyrie rework | Forums

[Fgw_wolf]

After spending extensive time with the rework valk I don't want to play her anymore. Her kit was gutted for no good reason. The "mix ups" you guys included are next to useless when your first attack is blocked or parried. Valk wants to hit her lights top, so you block top and react to everything else. Heavies get parried, thats all there is to it. I can not land a heavy on an opponent. You could feint that heavy into a shield bash however most of the cast have dodge moves to punish that.

Old shield tackle used to let me ledge if I positioned right and was clever, or I could dodge out and bait an attack or a dash to gb, or punish people trying to use UBs or run up to gb.
Now it does nothing. You just get poked out of it. Its a null move. I have trouble understanding how you guys thought this was finished or polished and thats without even bringing up sweep because you can't even push a live update with the correct values apparently.

Her damage is abyssal. I have to spend an entire stamina bar to land a light and then I eat 30+ damage or more. I can't fight people do more damage anymore. For every 5 mistakes they make I can only make 2. I can't pressure them because they know where the pressure points of my mix ups are and theres nothing I can do to force them to defend against those. All they need do is block the first attack and I'm useless. Fighting heavies feels impossible because their health pools and damage are MASSIVE compared to mine where as before the rework I felt I had a fighting chance if I fought smart. I can't fight smart, everything has a flow chart and flow charts can be beaten easily.

I guess I'll find a new main if this is the direction you guys want to take her. I'm really disappointed especially after having seen two of the new heroes coming. Maybe one of them will be fun to play. Heres hoping. You dropped the ball for me here ubi. I really wanted to be excited for this, I got really good with old valk cause was fun despite being mostly garbage and you made her worse.

she feels like a spam hero now.. sigh... the answer to all the reworks isn't just making **** faster and more simple. she just needed faster recovery and better damage. not sure why she got changed so much.

Now she is just another spam hero like orochi or aramusha... not even its damn fast, the other moves she can implement make real damage.

Now my 2nd Main Shinobi (i am acutally playing) is pretty useless in a gank. Valk spamming lights with knocking me on the ground and if i want to escape theres always a warden with his new fking op dash heavy, killing me... RIP shinobi
