Even SEMI-reliable Quake play requires more skill than the vast majority of MCoC can offer.
I consider myself a top of the line skilled player, who averages a death or less in Masters-level wars per season, and even I can't Quake to save my life despite more practice with her than the majority of the rest of the champion pool combined. There's just too much for me to grasp, and me trying to Quake without parrying is simply inviting my health to drop to 0 by the end of the second rotation. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
And if I'm struggling, I can only imagine how the majority of players below my skill level are faring.
Her skill ceiling is absurdly high...and that's part of what makes me hesitant to call her the 'best'. Ease of use is a factor as well, and Ghost trumps Quake in that regard by a fair amount. (Granted, I'm not a big fan of Ghost either. I personally am a big CGR fan for a somewhat-skill based champ, as he relies heavily on good parry timing for those monster L2s)
And yes, there are ways to counter some of those nodes when using Quake, but those require additional skill on top of her already unique play style that aren't easy to pull off consistently. Some can, but she's not so easy that anyone can use her for her basic ability and then adjust to these scenarios for easy wins all the time too.
Try to Quake and bake caltrops against a kingpin, Moleman, BPCW or any stun immune champ or node. Can it be done, yes. Will it be easy for a lot of people, no. Quaking stubborn isn't always easy either. The point was she's not OP for everything so why even say she needs a nerf other than to be controversial?
Also, OP, at least be consistent if you're going to purposely open controversial threads like this. And back it up with your own gameplay. I'd love to see a full, uncut Quake run of YOU doing an entire 5.2 caltrops path with 4* Quake... and if she's that OP, pit the icing on too and take down Collector too. For someone who needs to be nerf, I imagine this should be child's play for you and won't require any revives or potions either! I can't wait to see it!!!
And, f you can, I'll gladly jump in your side and sing your praises, but just saying one thing and not actually being able to back it up... We'll.. why should we listen? You've already said she and Ghost are in the same tier a couple of times, but Ghost is a 6* and you don't seem to mind.
