Shell needs to be balanced.
806 View2023-05-22So Im a Shell main and also got 10 grade Aleta and 10 grade Yaa, and i was once the top 100 Shell in globle server.
Early this day i have posted something about assassins being too weak after the update, but later on i have tried Aleta and found out that Aleta is actually still pretty strong ( or at least she feels pretty balanced now ), and the problem isnt actually with all assassins, but only with Shell.
So the thing is that after the upgrate all maps got ENLARGED, and many heroes got their new cool and useful second ability like long distance moving, control, becoming invisible or invincible, extra shield, healing, etc,. ......
While Shell still got the SAME TELEPORTATION DISTANCE and SAME SHOOTING RANGE and TAKES SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO RECHARGE HER ABILITY, and a new time delay bomb which only does 1400 damage and cause almost imperceptible speed reduction effect.......
Also her damage obviously got NERFED hard! ( even with her new ability she is still way weaker then before ) .
In addition as its 5v5 now and all about playload escort and control, the opponents usually stay in a tight group surrounded by shields and tanks for most of the time .
So all these combined together has caused its now SUPER DIFFICULT for Shell to MOVE, ATTACK and SURVIVE.
Imagine u are trying to execute a classic sneak in & out with Shell, and suddenly u found 3/5 opponents are targeting u bcuz everybody stays in a small group and u are the only enemy they can see within a short distance.
( Shell is now the only hero which requires getting really close to the enemies to attack but with relatively LOW DAMAGE even with headshot )
Nerfed damage, ability takes long time to recharge, Tanks and shields are everywhere, and many non tank heroes now got a long distance moving ability so they can escape super easily ...... all of these made it so much HARDER and LONGER for Shell to make a kill, and make Shell so useless.......
So all u can do now is just try to do some random damage and try to recharge asap so at least u can get out from the mess.
But after u have finally recharged ur teleportation.....
U JUST NOTICED U JUST CANT TELEPORT FAR ENOUGH AND STILL GET KILLED bcuz every map is now ENLARGED! .......
What a sad story......
No long range weapon, short teleportation distance, long recharging time, nerfed damage, a new ability which is only better then nothing ......
While other heroes now have long distance moving ability / super long health bar + blood shield + short cooling time Shield + good damage + control ability, and ...... all of them are standing together !
So now I know the devs hate Shell so much so I will abandon her and start using Hualing, Ruby and Fort, so that everyone will be happy! :)
