Lets Talk About Tigra's sp2 Reach

This topic has come up a lot in my alliance and I was curious what the general consensus is here. It seems a bit excessive for her sp2 to cover over half of the map. She's easy enough to fight so I'm not complaining here, but does anyone else feel the same way about the reach on her sp2? I get that one of her mechanics is based on spacing between champs but surely there's way to do this without forcing the defender to back themselves to the other side of the map on one special attack. Anyways, I want to hear what others are thinking and hearing from alliance members.

Thought it was just me. Not only does it cover a ton of distance, but it lasts so frikin long. Like summoner supreme or whatever her name was. The sp1 was so long that she basically infinitely cycled sp1s. Thankfully, tigra doesn't have any power gain. I think...

Don't give them any ideas.

Imagine Tigra on Spite and 100% Power Gain. Yikes.

Seraphion

That will become a problem on any + 100-200% powergain node.
Yes I know there are counters. But Im not looking forward to see it.
Ofc you can just quake ghost or doom it but she could at least jump back the end so that its not 60% of the entire map in 1 SP2

Ultimatheory

My first impression after seeing it for the first time was:

1) Wow, when is this going to end? It’s still going? This seems excessive.
2) Well that took a while. How many times did I have to dash back? How did I get all the way back here already? This seems excessive.

It’s the first special in the game that think punishes general spacing. I can’t say it’s hard to evade but you better make sure you’re on her half of the map when it starts...

Bugmat78

It's crazy - first couple times I got caught at the end because I thought it was over. I can imagine timing out if she's a defender in AQ lol

Tigra is meant for close combat, meaning you've to take the SP2 and hope the block damage doesn't kill you. But yeah, once you place her on a unblockable SP2 node with energize, you're screwed.

Air98

First thing Kabam does is put her on a power gain, enhanced special 2 node in Act 7 mark my words.

TP33

The L2 does kind of suck, the only reason I didn’t solo her in the UC EQ is the fact that, after being trapped on the back wall after baiting the special, I couldn’t fully dex it, I got surprisingly far but the bit where she just goes mental once she dashes back caught me by surprise.

her specials go unblockable already

It's such a long sp2 too, I think it's actually the longest sp2 in the game

I will not.

I thought that the timing was a bit weird on the dexes too

Panchulon21

It’s definitely the longest in the game. And has the most reach (other than the beams and bullets).

I thought it was a bit long also. I didn’t solo her the first time because I thought it was over then got smacked with the final potion of it.

So I guess I'm not the only one then... The only thing that worries me is when players get a hold of this champ and start throwing her on 200% power gain nodes in war, the only counters would be magik and quake. And then we run into the whole concept of needing a specific counter for a champ solely because when they throw specials you get backed up more than half way across the screen. Seems absurd to me that I would need to counter a champ because of their reach only.

I like her specials, even though she is not best at anything, gives unique "aura" to her, not every champs needs same speed, and credence as per mr.miike,
- black panther needs some of her exact animation, i'd say rocket racoon could use more animalistic animations now that game and technology behind it has vastly improved!
Some times giving just new animations gives out a great look and feel for character, colossus has got nice sp1 but would have loved sp2 change as well(similar to deadpool 2 where he puts beating on juggernaut , like picking up on shoulder, knee to face and throwing him )
- superior ironman could use more of non contact ernergy approach where he uses only his weaponary instead of old tired, punches n knees)
- Hawkeye could use more close encounter arrows that bleeds on basic attack making them non contact projectiles like domino's
- all i am saying is giving diffrent animations and minor abilities to old champions and some semi old champs(psylock needs energy basic,hela too and much faster speeds ,longer or in some case shorter dash attacks and in some cases fasters heavy attacks)
- these small changes could surely make game,events,defense more interesting, qn old hawkeye or hela who cant be parried willl add new dimention to their defense

My thoughts the first time I fought her:

shadow_lurker22

I'm not that good at dexing and completely dexed it while on the wall just have to time the hits right.

GroundedWisdom

As someone who spent $200 getting the 5*, I'm concerned. Hahaha.

Reaone I’m disagreeing is because MD wil giv he power so if ther is one with MD she wil not counter he but els yes.

Power focus 1 in AW.

Good times.

She’s actually not Quakable (if that’s even a word) lol. Her medium is a very fast two hit. Way too fast to react to it. At least that’s what happened to me the first and only time fighting her with Quake.

Pratham02

Imagine her as an act 7 boss on bane

Quake is perfectly fine against any other double medium champ

Morpheus_123

I have always found that the reach of some attacks alter anyway. Many times I have dashed back to avoid a heavy from SW or Storm etc, next thing I know she's dashed on one leg half way across the screen to reach me! lol Then other times its completely 'normal'.

Not sure what causes this, surely the coding of how a champ moves is set and shouldn't intermittently change?

rcm2017

Good that its not only me, not only the reach its crazy fast. Maybe with time it will be a bit easy. Didnt post anything coz of the git gud squad...lol

Aomine_Daiki10

Seriously she will be a pain on brute force or aspect of war node.
