I’ll give you a few reasons. One, FAM is objectively a better champ. Not that Shocker is bad, but FAM is definitely better on both sides of the fight.
FAM’s sig gives access to significant utility and regen. Reduces incinerate and bleed duration by 90% at max sig and gains a sizable regen when those debuffs expire. He also gets a damage cap that can also proc a regen and it makes him very recoil friendly. He is moderately suicide friendly, but does rely on specials to stack big damage.
I have both and I actually gave a tech gem to Shocker instead of FAM. FAM's gives him more utility and makes him more annoying on defense but the insane damage and the power drain are both there regardless. Shocker's damage and utility are both there regardless too but his awakened ability helps with the ramp up so much I think it's a must for BGs at least. I guess it's really up to you, whoever you enjoy using the most.
