Shocker Balancing

I have a rank 3 sig 40 Shocker and I really like him . That being said he sometimes feels light on utility for a Tech champion. That gets balanced out with some of his synergies. In particular his synergies with OG Spider-Man and Symbiote Spider-Man. They are really nice to have against mutants who he has a class advantage over. I also like his homecoming synergy and Black Cat synergy as well but those increase damage and he’s fine in that department. He does have the ability to remove prowess and auto block but some more utility against specials like his pseudo taunt or cowardice from the aforementioned synergies provides that utility. It’s would even be helpful if one or both of those were incorporated at a lower potency in his base kit and the synergies increased them to current levels. So giving him a lower potency cowardice or smaller chance to “taunt” in his base kit then reach his current level with the synergy. Overall I’m not saying he’s bad as is at all. But if I’m bringing him in over other tech it’d be great to have just a little more utility in his base kit. Honestly I doubt that level of balancing would occur as they tend to go for small value tweaks especially for champs that are pretty good to start with. But if the balance team sees he’s not performing as well as intended in target matchups some utility in these areas would help him get to that big heavy payoff your working towards. That said he is definitely a cool champ and I’m happy to have him.

    They haven't made any plans yet to rebalance Sandman and shocker and we are not going to get those answers until August. Right now we're still waiting on the results of Cassie and Ant-Man future.

    My guess is that he’ll stay as is
