Please Stop being Babies against Shadow
OUTCOME MEMORIES PLAYERS. LETS USE OUR BRAINS FOR A SECOND.
When it comes to Shadow people are Whining, WAY TO DAMN MUCH. Does he need some balancing? sure, like every other character. But until them, You just need know what their doing, and what YOU ARE doing.
People are focused too much on COMPLAINING about shadow, rather than building counters.
If people payed attention they'd realize 2011x, THE WORST KILLER IN THE GAME, Hard counters Shadow. Parrying charge (in my experience) doesn't work 1/3 of the time. Plus, you can just Bait chaos dash like you do with other counter in the game. Even if the parry is successful, congrats, now you have a shadow without mobility. Even if you arent X, Kolo is Fast, Trip has Float, Fleetway can fly. Get Active.
You can catch up to a Shadow who Dashes away, super fast. Just use Invisibility, or Gods. If he uses Chaos dash up a ledge, or Baits you, and you follow him off a ledge (which if you do fall for it-it is 100% on you. How do you NOT expect that ATP) Congrats, you can now charge, with no need to worry about a parry.
If he uses Chaos Snap, to stop your charge, he is right next to you, you have 3 seconds, get him.
And Rage mode counters shadow so hard, its HILARIOUS, Shadow teleports too the killer, and his 4 second stun, is now 1 second and Edgy Mc Hedge is a sitting duck with Super Sayin John Rage Mode, and if shadow is not on mystic cave, he is cooked.
People keep playing the brain dead klillers (Fleetway and Kolo), and expecting results, when in reality, Shadow is an attempt to re-balance the game. 2011x is now viable. You can counter Kolo and Fleetway (The 2 Killer's people were crying about Btw).
Shadows Counters: 2011x and Tripwire (Shadows are Trigger happy, and mines are impossible to see at a distance, at least once per match, they will snap into you while you are on a Mine.
Plus, you can flip flop. He snaps, and you don't have Brightest day- use Reach out, and Vice verse.
Who Shadow Counters: "Fleetway" and Kollooses
How to play against Shadow: Find him before he unloads his Clip. M1, do not cut corners and use moves. It is easier than you think, if you jump around alot.
When he snaps into you, counter, if not, rush him down right after, and remember, if he parrys you- it is not a stun, your immobilized for at most one second, hit something.
In summary people are complaining cause they have to use their brains for the first time since 0.1 when we only had 2011x.
