Bishop's Disadvantage
Is there any other champ in the game that has a bigger class disadvantage than Bishop vs. tech champs?
I quite like the trend of special relationships between classes outside of just attack stat increases and decreases. For example, if Domino has a class advantage, the enemy is always unlucky. If she's at a disadvantage, the enemy is never unlucky. Or Sentinel: he gains double analysis charges with an advantage but only half analysis charges with a disadvantage. I like the extra layer of strategy this provides.
Now look at Bishop. Under normal circumstances he gains triple prowess when he parries an energy attack and with an advantage, he gains double prowess on these well-timed blocks. However, at a disadvantage, he gains no prowess whatsoever; not against normal attacks or energy attacks. Bishop is a champion who's main source of damage output comes from his specials. Without prowess, he has no way to boost this damage beyond the base level. He also has a meager regen ability using prowess that also falls away against Tech. AND his attack is already lowered due to the disadvantage. It seems like a very big disadvantage.
In the cases of Domino and Sentinel, they still have some utility when disadvantaged. Domino can' t make them unlucky, but she can still be lucky herself. Sentinel may not gain analysis charges as quickly, but he can still build them. I think the trend should follow with Bishop. Something along the lines of only gaining a single prowess charge on well-timed blocks when facing the tech class. At least this won't leave him completely neutered.
I know Bishop isn't the most popular champion, but I still want to hear what people think about his abilities during tech fight. Do you think they are fine as-is or did they go a little too far when they designed his specific class disadvantage? What do you think?
