Valkirie suggestions to improve the gameplay with her:
·2nd Top Light:
from 400ms to 500 ms pre-rework. She doesn't need that because players don't want spams fest, so all her light attacks are 500 ms now and light attacks can be delayed by a few milliseconds to increase the damage a bit (up to a maximum of 4 dmg) You can nerf a little bit the light attacks damage to do this. (something like 12 - 10 - 8 for example, and delayed light attacks can do 16 - 14 - 12 at maximum)
You can delay each of them independently, for example, you can do a normal first light attack, a second delayed light attack and a normal finisher light attack. This change would be a great addition.
·Shoulder Pin:
The animation is 100 ms slower but it's still as effective as it is now. Cool change to see the deflects much better.
·Automatic Headbutt Stun move in a parry punish:
When you parry an enemy heavy attack ,Valkirye will do a headbutt instantly that knocks out the enemy. (similar to Raider or Lawbringer's stun but without the damage, or similar to Shugoki's heabutt but only on parries and without pushing you back) OR if you counter an enemy attack with your counter light attack you will do a stun headbutt. Choose one of the two options, because It is a good idea.
·Heavy side attacks:
They are 100 ms more faster. Why? because It's a spear.They don't have to be so slow.
·Pouncing Thrust:
The jump has like 4 meters range (character's body only) and that is a lot. But it has like 7 meters attack range counting the spear. Nobushi's spear is much larger and doesn't have this crazy range. So here will be a better use for this attack. Instead of "W+Dodge key (space by default) + Light attack", we will change Pouncing Thrust into "Run key (Shift by default)+Left Mouse buttom" so here we have a more appropriate use for this attack and now enemies can't escape from Valkyrie. Now we can do 2 differents attacks when we run: left mouse buttom (it can deal a bleed damage, like Nobushi left attack when she is running) and normal run attack (right mouse buttom) and If you don't like this suggestion at least nerf a little bit the range of this attack, because it has a lot, and people of course use it even if the enemy is at close range and it looks strange and weird for that reason.
·New movement: W+Dodge key (space by default) + Left mouse buttom
If you change Pouncing Thrust you can add an appropriate attack here at close range (without jumps) because you would already be in short / medium range so you wouldn't need to jump forward like a frog. The animation can be a normal top light attack with the spear while the character takes a step forward. It would be something similar to Nobushi's Viper attack with the step forward.
·New movement or attack: W+Dodge key (space by default) + Right mouse buttom
Valkyrie has a shield and maybe she could use it to do a movement that pushes the enemy forward with the shield: similar to Lawbringer push, or something similar to Conqueror Shield Bash (but without the guaranteed light attack of course, because she has deflects already) this would allow the Valkyrie to push enemies against a wall with ease.
Or if not it could be a different attack like Warden's Forward Dash + Heavy I don't know.
·Shield Tackle:
We want both: the old Full Block Stance during the strike and the new Full Stance when you start the move, and of course It must be cancelled directly into Dodge Forward Light if the player want it. This movement will be too strong,, which is why It must have much more stamina consumption.
·Spear Sweep:
When you fall to the ground the new spear attack looks awful (with all my respects but it is true..), It looks like if the spear pierced you in the balls. The old animation for this attack was cool but now is just meh... so we want the old animation movement (heavy) with 100 ms faster for this attack... or... if the player do the light attack at least that light must be 100 ms slower. It doesn't matter because the damage will be insured and the animation will be less clunky.
Spear Sweep is very annonying for teammates now. This makes Valkyrie very annoying and the worst hero without any doubt in 4v4 situations. So please remove this change except for the enemy. Spear Sweep can only throw one enemy to the ground.
Here a video with some of the problems I mentioned above:
