Shocker MASSIVE nerf

Hey @Kabam Miike can we know why the big nerf to shocker wasn't announced or posted anywhere? I love the champion and taked him to max level, now there is a lot of fights like red skull or maestro that he can't take anymore

If Kabam doesn’t issue rank down tickets there’s gonna be a huge problem… he essentially got shadow nerfed

What happened to Shocker?

What happened to Shocker?

They changed his damage in the heavy, now it can be glanced, is affected by armor rating and it's only affected by base attack

This is truly scandalous

while it does suck, if it wasn’t announced anywhere then it’s probably a bug that will be fixed

Glancing - No Glancing
Armor - No Armor

Regardless, with this hard new content out, ironic time for the bugs to come out

This is shocker heavy damage bug fix 2 I believe if not 3

This is shocking!...

I literally rank 5 and ascended my 6* shocker after doing 8.4 100% to have a good counter for maestro and red skull. Even Msd, who is a content creator for the game made a video showcasing how to use shocker against maestro. Their biggest L is not having mentioned the bug in April's patch notes. Just for that, we better get compensated

Damn. I was about to r2 him yesterday, good thing I held off lol. Guardian it is, then.

Just another in a long line of silent nerfs. Can't wait for the white knights to come and say they haven't silently nerfed anything.

Considering 8.4 released and BG's came back on the same day, I would not be surprised if this is a bug.

Based on this (from kt1 video), sounds like a bug and not a shady nerf. Just really bad timing…

I think it's a.serious bug glancing shouldn't work since Shocker doesn't crit at all

That’s a shocker

This is to say that if they don't fix it it's happened before

All shocker has is his heavy since he can't crit and not like he has other ways like Idoom or Guardian to do that extra crit damage as shock. Nice way to ruin a champ silently.

That is a massive difference

That’s not how glancing works. You don’t glance hits that would otherwise crit, it’s that glancing hits *cannot* crit.

Also, considering the last update had extensive notes on bug fixes but had nothing to say about Shocker, I’d expect that this is a bug and not an intentional change.

All shocker has is his heavy since he can't crit and not like he has other ways like Idoom or Guardian to do that extra crit damage....

He doesn't get little bursts of damage; but he does hit extra hard on all attacks, because he reduces the opponent's Armour Rating by his Crit Rating (2935, at 7*R1).

Like others have said, no.

Glancing doesn't only affect critical hits. It prevents hits from being critical, and it reduces Ability Accuracy by 100%.

If Shocker's Heavy attack wasn't being Glanced previously for some reason, then that reason was a bug. Shocker had nothing in his kit to prevent him from being Glanced.

EdisonLaw

Where’s compensation? Could be a bug and they may reverse it later on

Birbman

And I just took him to r3 one of my fav champs ruined

Thanks @Wicket329 now I understand

Interesting from what I read of Shocker's abilities their is actually nothing in his kit that prevents Glancing but he can turn off limber

When are you all going to learn to stop calling something a nerf before finding anything official out from Kabam. The title of this post should have been "Is there a bug with Shocker?". Now you've panicked many people on here who take everything at face value. It doesn't surprise me the ultimate pot stirrer, KT1, is behind the disinformation. Probably needed the views on this channel.

Do better.

Another bug, another "kabam has silently nerfed a champ" freak out.

Get the facts first, and then set your hair on fire, if appropriate.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't get the YouTube video views sir.
