Valk is broken! | Forums

[PureFyre7]

Something is wrong with Valk as in the actual coding/mechanics of the class. After the rework i've experienced numrous glitches fighting against her. I dont play valk but this hero frequently doesn't follow normal combat protocal. Some of the errors - upon shoulder bash from warden theres no reaction/stun. i instantly get spear swept or light attcked. theres no audio for spear sweep. The indicator for light attacks seems off as in her lights are instant. In dominion the team with valks typically steam role the oher side, I believe b/c there are glithes with this hero.

Her lights are super fast. I don't know how fast, but I find them unreactable and I don't have that issue with any other character, not even Orochi.

What kind of hyper armor does she have now because she hyper armored through a light heavy combo from my warlord and took no damage.

She also used her feat mid attack without stopping.

She def is broken

I did notice some unusual things going on with her. Firs, I would get spear sweep even if my second light gets blocked? At least I was able to do so twice so far. Also, sometimes I would kill my opponent after 2 spear sweeps even though my opponent health was full. I was able to kill Raider and Centurion that way. It did seem excessive and I am not sure whar really happened.

There is a sound bug on spear sweep as well, it just doesn't sound or feel like it actually catches opponent like it used to feel.

Both, Valk and Warden seem unpolished and done with very little time or testing. Obviously, devs time is getting spent on new faction.

Does this happen in duels? Maybe it's just dominion that's broken at the moment, not necessarily the Heroes.

I thought it was just me. I was swept even though i dodged it right. I was also experiencing bugs about her.

Every second of my lights parried in 80% of fights.=)
I can only block tham. Fortunatly, it's stop her sweep combo.

Just for your info.. all her lights are 500ms and only second and third one from the top are 400ms.. and the indicator is very clear as she has a fix guard. So if you have more troubles with Valk lights than Roch one, you're just not honest, free hating there.

She doesn't have any HA .. because gess what ? She is among the 3 only char of the whole game To not have Unblocable or HA with PK and Nobu.

The only explaination for that is that this Valk superior block you. . It is very easy on a Warlord heavy if not feinted.

Well, depend which Char you were playing.

If lights are blocked but it doesn't interrupt you, of course you can still land the sweep.

If you're intterupted, you cant . Simple as hell.

Her sweep has always been a spécial moove To dodge... first most of times you cant back dodge it.. it catch you, you have to side dodge it.

Plus you have to start your dodge before seeing the sweep.. if not it catch you while dodging.. that's why this is a 50/50 with GB.

It has always been like that.

To answer about the main topic here .. Valk is broken ?
So let's consider the following thing and then came back saying that, dare you guys :

-no unblocable
-no HA
-useless zone
-weak parry punishes
-still low damages (except on sweep)
-her dodges are lights (hard punish)
-got big nerf on her shield tackle and headbutt remooved with her rework
-has the same HP pool than assassins
-good in 1v1 and 1vmany but not at Ganking (sweep allies and give revenge very fast due to shield bash)

Valk OP ? Let me laugh.

You guys just dont know how to play agaisnt Valk now that she is kind of correct/viable char.

Just train and stop saying wrong statements.

Not complaining about the Valk or her moves as she's my main(I will miss knocking down light spammers) but I have noticed an audio oddness. It's during her combos. It's never when I do them,just on the recieving end. Not only does she go silent,but the whole game is quiet. It's just odd. Doesn't affect anything else. Bring Back Team Shuffle

i totally disagree with your wrong statement. I fought her in training and i am 100% you can dodge right on reaction. I also am successful on dodging on pvp. But sometimes it gets bugged and even if you dodged it right you still get swept even if you're already on her side. Plus, we are tqlking about her bugs. How can she successfully block an attack and then get right into his attack without the shield block animation without a sign of hyperarmor on her body. We are not talking how she is OP. She isn't. It's just sometimes she is being bugged out.
