He is popular on YouTube and YouTubers like playing him and people like watching him.
Maybe allot of people don't play him but he has a popular nitch following.
YouTubers give you free advertising and their shug has been Nerfed 3 times.
As he is now he is a liability in dominion which means more people leaving matches more often which is potentially causing issues with the servers.
Like with Val his popularity would grow if you let him flourish.
He can't do anything now when an opponent gets revenge but spam light headbutt to waste time.
Berzerker gets to hit shug 4 times before shug finished a demon ball when ganged up on.
Shugs yell after DE usually is a free kill for any enemy near by.
If shaman is now your base like then how do you explain shugs nerfs?
For no reason shug does a roll instead of a oni charge when ledging opponents which is usually a free kill (again) for a near by enemy.
Raiders stunning tap drains shug completely out of stamina when you trade with a light or heavy headbutt.
Shug only good feat in rock steady IMHO.
He has not effective way of fighting many of the heroes now and anyone can just 🐢 to win or run away.
The light spam in this game is super real.
Shugoki is one of the few heavies in the game.
Big Facts.
Every game rework just seems to hurt him. Losing GB of of parry got rid of his DE play. That hurt. Getting heavies off of light parties. His light is 600 ms. Centurion is safer throwing out his naked heavies than shugoki is throwing a single light. That hurt. Opponents keep regaining stamina when in OOS. He now has no viable OOS mindgame. That hurt.
He really need some love but still have good tools, the headbutt deals tons of stam damages and his OOS punish hurts like hell. Also oni charge can be a real pain in dominion sometimes. Shugo surely got hit heavily with time but he can still shine in the right hands, he lacks some chains and SA tweaks. But we'll ses him reworked soon enough
I just posted this recently about shug:
Please fix shugoki

---but do the devs really listen? Idk
Shug should be completely gutted. He gets a 15 second HA reset and no DE. He will have two weapons.
His heavy weapon will be a very large throwing hammer that drags on the ground behind him. The weapon is unparryable and unblockable. It can only be dodged. If an attempt is made to block or parry it, it does double damage. It is 600ms and can be used simultaneously with his other weapon but completely drains his stamina if done (shug new zone).
Shugs second weapon 400ms whip sword that he can use to block and attack. When in whip form he blocks like an assassin but can attack at shinobi range attack but dealing more damage. His range gb is trip that gives shug enough time to throw his heavy.
His whip sword in sword form is similar to wardens and when retracted blocks like a vanguard and attacks at 400 ms
Finally, shug has the ability to throw out an instant death throw that takes 20 second to charge and is hidden. It can be blocked or parried but looks the same as his regular heavy. If the heavy land it takes off 200 points of damage and causes shugoki to take 25 points of damage ever time it's used. During the charge time shugoki looses all ability to block, dodge, or move but still can attack using his whip and use sword to parry or deflect only.
The whip sword takes 600ms to change between the two weapons.
Shug also has a very gradual health regeneration naturally now.
Shug has three new feats
1. Unbreakable: for a very short time shug is invincible. Stamina is placed back to full.
2. Gate keeper: shug can block unblockables simply by blocking in that direction.
3. Bone crusher: his heavies are faster for a medium time.
---- just an idea.
1. Shug will have one weapon similar to a giant rock on a chain that drags behind him called a throwing hammer. Essentially a blunt object on a very long chain....very similar to the nazgul In Lord of the rings. The one at the end that couldn't be killed by any man...so the women kills him....like a very large maceOriginally Posted by PepsiBeastin Go to original post
2. He will also have a second weapon called a whip sword that looks similar to wardens but had the ability to separate into chained parts. Google it. You'll get the picture.
One weapon is his heavy and one is his light. His light whip sword can be a ranged weapon at the cost of defense or a sword weapon at the cost of time to retract.
