Nerf the shield bashes for Christ sake | Forums

Literally everybody hates conq for his shield bash and you guys releases vortiger who is conq 2.0. Maybe you should balance previous characters before making more broken spammy ones? Nerfing both shield bashes would be a great start.

Conq's bash doesn't need a nerf, although I wish the animation was more telegraphed. BP needs to be punished via guard break if his opponent dodges his bash

This! Its hard to punish a dodged bash even if you use a dodge attack

^agreed...the only thing needed for BP is to make his missed bash punishable.

Thanks for sharing this feedback!

We've been seeing multiple feedback on BP's shield bash and have been sharing with the team.

Conqueror's SB won't be nerfed. I've already said this in a similar thread, but if 500ms bashes from neutral that confirm damage was something they wanted to move away from, Prior wouldn't have exactly that in his kit. The recovery on it is a different story, and yeah - it definitely should be nerfed.

I agree completely. His bash is too fast for something that guarantees a whole bar of damage twice. It's not right, and if something were to be done about moving away with it then why hasn't it been done? I can understand it being a new character with new abilities. But for someone who is supposed to be all about counters, he sure is pretty much a harasser, tank, and a turtle. He can heal, take away revenge shield, and has insane light attack damage. I hope this changes. I hope the devs know what they're doing. I have faith at least.

My bad only does twenty damage after two lights.
