Silly opinion about shield counters(nekro aa,mages shield etc)

[Darkstarsfury]

Just a normal day in AL pvp me and my team(random team) got matched up to a 4 man deathball team with a tank 2 rogues and a mage and of course they are all using NEKRO. My team also consist of the same classes and pets, after countless clashes, gangbangs and never ending SHIELDS I feel like there is too much defensive mechanics happening in pvp compared to the counters it has. I was happy when sts made a counter for evironment effects like Stampy's AA which is good for Korruption's AA it sounds fair isnt it? So I was thinking what about a pet that has an AA that can remove shields! great brilliant isnt it because with a pet that nukes shield you can finally find a window of oppurtunity to penetrate the warriors thick hide,mages unending shield spam and you will be able to neutralize the aggression of those rouges with skyhigh damages (assuming they all have nekro). So I brought up the topic to my guild hoping to get a good reaction but instead they said it doesnt make sense and they are so defensive about it even though its just an opinion and probably not going to happen anyway. So I brought the Korruption and Stampty aa's and told them so "that doesnt make sense then?, the same logic as a pet that has an AA that nukes a Shield(ex nekro's shield)" so they dont give a care to Korruption's aa having a counter and then when just an opinion about a counter to Nekros aa they lose all thier minds.

Come on guys Nekro has been a meta for too long in this game, what about a new meta with a pet that has an AA that removes or has a chance to remove a shield lets say it removes a existing shield to the nearest enemy with a cooldown the same with nekros AA cooldown. So what do you guys think about this?

I strongly agree with your opinion 😆😆

Ikr mate having a counter to nekro AA is a legit pvp balance

The counter to nekro shield or any other shield is: deal more damage ! :hopelessness:

Bruh, i tried that many times and sometimes even after 2 combos the shield doesnt break :/ (depends on crit sometimes) may it be nekro shield or mage shield lol i think we need a pet that reduces the NEKRO shield or removes it but not affecting MAGE SHIELD SKILL yea thats whta i think lol hahahahaha

[Payed]

Counter for nekro shield, mage shield and glowstick shield is rogue aimed shot.

Sir, id like you to try breaking a nekro shield with aim shot at twink level.

[Darkstarsfury]

it depends if you are into balanced pvp, if you are not then no. The key to balanced pvp is counters, its like papers scissors rock, they counter each other and its very fair. The only pet that has no counter in this game is NEKRO thats why every one has it for pvp

[Darkstarsfury]

sure do mate after you used you combo the shield is gone and you are left with cool down skills and low mana and after that the enemy will run to recharge his nerko aa cooldown and then rinse and repeat.

[Darkstarsfury]

not all classes has aimed shot so its back to rouge legends then if its like that

[Darkstarsfury]

its a logical counter but not a legit counter, an example of a legit counter is Stampy's AA against Korroption's AA

Nekro? I not sure but i seen mage shield breaking in twink :D level 15

Not every person use nekro for pvp but every rogue use it. If you have problem vs nekro then wait for time window. If you have problem vs rogue then make one, AL PVP just made a lap in terms of meta and rogue users became kings of PVP once again.

Reflect damage pet would do great to counter current "meta stuff"

[Sxvm]

So just say their was a pet that took away nekro shield, how would rouges be able to do anything. We wouldn't have any sort of shield. We would die to easy.

[Darkstarsfury]

the enemy who has a pet that can take ur nekro shield also has no nekro shield so you are both vunerable so its fair

[Darkstarsfury]

reflect damage is good but it would rekt all rogs and mages

[Darkstarsfury]

Dont forget that the person who has a shield nuking pet doesnt have a nekro shield so he is vulnerable, I'm just suggesting a different counter to nekro's shield other than countering it with another nekro shield. So look in a team fight where a team is a perfect deathball consisting of 1 tanky healer warrior, 1 stuner,mana regenerator, semi tank mage and 2 rouges that drops nuclearbombs, this team is not penetratable unless you can take out the warrior or atleast the mage but that is a very hard feat to do. Thats why you need to atleast soften the mages and warriors hide by atleast removing their nekro shield and killing them before they rejuvinate thier team.

And in a team even though you are a rouge with no nekro your ally has nekro so you all get buffed with shield so dont say that will die easily.

Reflect damage is a great counter for the current meta but i think it would absolutely rekt the rouges cuz tanky warriors would just stand there and wait for the rouges or mages to taste their own nasty damage which will lead to their deaths.

[Qmefree]

low hp low armor low cri ....... have only mana is good for mage

Yes, but a mage has their shield and a tank has their Jugg and heal shield. Rouge doesn't have anything, they will die too easy to a mage because they will be stunned the whole time. Tanks will also stun them and they can also hit as hard. Rouges are already useless in clashes, with this they will be completely useless.

Waiting for time window is a joke, I dont have a problem with vs rouge but I have a problem with nekro,a pet that has no counter, in fact everyone should have a problem with it cuz the first time Nekro was released it was just average arc pet but when STS buffed it with steroids it became a counter for SnS but STS left Nekro hanging with no counters at all. There Has been a lot of Nerf threads for nekro in the past but STS ignored it so why dont they make a counter instead if they dont want to nerf it? Probably the people who complained how Nekro is OP got tired because they are talking to a wall that doesnt respond.

Nekro deserves his power because its special pet to obtain only through craft ( excluding past egg event ). Nekro already feels weak in pvp 58+. They tried replacing it with glowstick but it isn't really better pet for pvp as we see. With better damage gear and higher level cap nekro will be useless slowly because everyone will one shot each other. It might be replaced by better pet (?) I not sure if STG dare to do that in short time because of glowstick. Just my 2 cents.

[Kingofninjas]

Back when nekro was 40m, I would agree with you. Now it isn't even 3m. People can easily buy one and be on the same playing grounds (pet wise).

Lol agreed!

1. Shield is itself a counter - to 1 shots, DOT, stuns, etc. Rogues and Mages need it.

2. In a Team of 4-5, only 2 Nekro AA shields are used/needed with good timing. ALL using nekro means they losing out on other Pet AAs.

3. The shields seem endless because probably the players' skill-timing is good.

4. Opponent's damage high because of nekro? Umm gear, jewels, specing of stats etc go on to calculate damage, the pet is a buff and as for buffs, Nightshade gives 17% dmg buff and Nekro gives 15%. Nekro Happiness is good but usually Munchmouth or Glowstik is used for Happiness.

5. Shieldless pvp is possible but it was possible in an era of pvp where damage was really low and when we did not have buffs/nerfs that the classes have gone through over the years. It was long ago, in the first seasons. Going back to that means undoing what has been done. PVP seems sort of balanced now and that should be left untouched, what we need is a new pvp map, battlegrounds, etc. :D

If a pet that removes shields comes into play, teams would just counter that counter with more nekros...
Generally a good team is using 2 Nekros, if one of the shields was 'removed' by this pet, a 3rd nekro would easily reapply the shield to continue the cycle and vice versa.
