My favorite discussion returns. Lets see how many people out themselves this time.

Hello, as you are asking for playrate, here you have the stats of current meta: source supervive-stats.com

[hushed pasture]

supervive.app much more detailed

she is most played but is a default hunter and the poster child so makes sense

[charred sequoia]

Ty hudson makes sense

Figured shrike would be up there but ig not everyone ass

[vestal rover]

to be fair those stats are from high mmr

supervive.app has all mmrs

but there shrike will be always higher as is starter hunter

[charred sequoia]

Ya would say playrate for certain hunters probably changes alot in higher/lower mmr

[unique drift]

whether shes broken or not doesnt really matter to me, any player with half decent aim is going to take off half ur hp with one shot, its simply not fun to play against, and is the reason my entire friend group doesnt play x3

[silk spindle]

Shrike does need a nerf for newer players. I simple wanted to say that. I leave now

[spare coral]

true nerf this disgusting 2 hit kill freak champion

[silk spindle]

I say make it 3 hit. That is one I am saying. Maybe 4 hit but I feel like that is way too much of a nerf.

And also I dont like how people laughing emoji this. Xua it does really need to be discussed and merging her does make sense with all the new people.

[spare coral]

u don’t think she’d be the worst champ in the game by far if it took 3 hits to kill squishies ?

would be a pretty substantial nerf

[silk spindle]

I mean probably. I do also feel like something they could do that'd work well is reduce how long it takes to shoot. Then give her some dmg nerf as well. I feel like that could be nice

[ebon fjord]

I’m waiting for a legend rank shrike main who never misses to appear to show how broken shrike can really be

[feral drift]

These stats to confirm Hudson needs a nerf lol

[silk spindle]

Tbh even with that she wouldn't be that good. Cus the reat of her kit is kind if bad

[silk spindle]

Just playing against him confirms that

[vestal rover]

its hotbiscuit, he already exists, but shrike is easily countered by hard engage characters

[feral drift]

Fair enough. I’m surprised they haven’t done anything yet

[ebon fjord]

Does he never miss? Haven’t had to luxury to see him play

[feral drift]

I will say as an Oath player, getting my shield two shot by her is annoying.

[ebon fjord]

Surely the issue with Hudson is that his gun just has no downtime, he can just shoot and shoot and shoot

No clue why they removed the overheat or st least improved it maybe changing his skills when overheated or something

[feral drift]

IMO, make the power of his gun increase with creep and player kills.

So early he will be pretty useless, late he is about where he is now.

[ebon fjord]

But then if u don’t farm/get kills he’ll be useless forever

[feral drift]

Exactly

Not direct kills, assist count

[silk spindle]

They've confirmed he is getting a nerf

[silk spindle]

Overheat made him shit. They juat gotta limit his rmb and lower some of his damage then he'd be good imo

[vestal rover]

add overheat again or reduce cadence 30% so you are not discouraged from dodging him face to face, currently if you face him dodging he still outdamages you

[ebon fjord]

or maybe when he overheats he brings out his secondary pistol until he gets his mini gun back, so the down time doesn't feel too shitty

[lethal slate]

or simple WASD, if you still keep getting hit, then your WASD juking needs improving

[silk spindle]

They shouldn't put a fucking cooldown on his auto

[feral drift]

He got range and mobility nerf

[plush shadow]

For people that have an issue with shrike I’m curious did you know she does significantly less damage from shorter ranges (her left click charges up capping out at half her max range) I’m curious if that might be part of the pain not knowing where that cap is or not knowing it exists at all

[silk spindle]

They just don't know that they can walk one way then once she shoots walk another way really quick to not get hit. Ir if they good shrike and are using the power of spin, then just walk off too one direction rq the moment you here her fire

[plush shadow]

I understand that but thats the same thing as just saying get better. If its such a frequent pain point why not look for ways to let newer players understand shrike's weaknesses without nerfing her

[silk spindle]

I mean it's literally true. Cus of the fact she hasn't been nerfed yet the devs aren't focusing too much on shrike being good in low elo. But also I feel like most people should and probably will learn how to dodge pretty fast. They should literally just think "how to deal with shrike" instead of immediately going "she can 2 shot you? Holy shit that's op!". They aren't gonna change it cus they haven't yet and I honestly think that's fine

[plush shadow]

you misunderstand what I'm saying completely

[silk spindle]

The only real way they could do this is by adding a tutorial video on how to deal with her into the game. Which they would more than likely want community members that aren't tv or devs to make those videos

[plush shadow]

or

like I said before

adding an indicator like the person playing her has showing what ranges shes weak at

[silk spindle]

I dint see that you've said that. And I also don't see how that'd help. Cus i wouldn't be surprised if it's percentage and it isn't just a certain distance her damage tanks.

Knowing where she's weaker just doesn't help cus you literally just gotta know to jump on her basically
