So what about Strix "Unauthorized Use"
So this talent allows him to kill any dps by hitting two shots: One sniper shot and one hit with the Flare Gun. This happens within 1 second, as you can use the quick switch card, to get out your pistol faster.

So again: You kill a full hp Dps in 1 second.

Isn't it obvious this bs is broken as hell?
Yes you need good enough aim and stuff, but jesus christ, that's even more burst then in CS:GO, two hits on body to kill full hp dps wtf XD

2 shots to kill with scope and invisibility much easier than Lian or Cassie

I think the distance is Strix least problem, as he is surprisingly a SNIPER!
That means he is the king of distance and unbeatable on long distance anyway you genius XD

yeah that means there are no way to defeat strix like closing in on him, ambushing him, using cover, or anything like that

Ambushing somebody and using cover is a method against ALL champions in this game. This aspects are just straight bs.

Getting close to him is also stupid, as he only needs to hit you once with the sniper rifle and then shoot his flare and delete you in 1 second.
Not even Evie can deal against a good Strix, even though she is used to be his counter.
Played several games in Ranked as Strix against One-Trick Evies, deleted them all and carried the game, his ridiculous Legendary has to be nerfed, that's all I am asking for.

Yes and getting that one hit, quickshot or scoped, is pretty much impossible on an evie flying in every direction or teleporting back and forth.
I do agree Unau needs a nerf, but maybe that's just because i do fine without the talent.

Most of the time you can predict where Evie will teleport, meaning you can hit her right after the teleport, before she can activate Sour.
If not, your next chance is after her Sour ends, and she wants to make the next shot on you, that's the time where she will fly right towards you, meaning an easy possibility to get a sniper hit on her.
And now she needs one more hit on you to kill you (if she hit both 2 shots before), while she landed next to you. Now is your third and last chance, to get a quickscope on her with a sniper rifle, and then grab out your flare gun and burn her to hell. You can do that in less then 1 second, while Evie can only shoot once per second.

So overall pretty good chances to kill a good Evie, if you have good aim. And I am not even talking about the fact that you can headshot-kill that Evie with one shot (if she doesn't have Haven).

Edit: I messed up the quote...

Depends on the Evie I guess. I play both and if I'm Strix, I try to get Evie while she's bothering someone else because it's awful to 1v1 her.

As Evie, on an Evie-friendly map, it's so easy to get the (literal) drop on Strix and get out, over and over. Regarding shooting the original blink spot, good Exies aren't blinking while you're watching, they're doing it from behind cover. Only in a pinch will they blink right in front of you on the first blink. Personally, I don't blink back if they caught me by surprise.

Even if Evie only lands 2 shots and blinks out, her blink is back up before Strix has healed. It really makes him ineffective and, if his teammate comes to help, now you have 2 enemies out of the payload fight.

Ok, you all guys are only talking about the scenario Strix against Evie.
Surely Evie is the best champion to play with against Strix.

But overall, Strix beats many other champions, and that's where I say his Leg needs to be nerfed.

Yea, I think the community is mostly in agreement with that, which is why you didn't hear a lot of objection when it was rumored that he's getting a nerf. Whether or not it's that specific card, I don't know. But, the fact that he gets banned constantly speaks to the fact that he's a problem.

Something getting banned in this community 'speaks' very little. Tyra existed unchanged for like 8 months, then suddenly, people remembered she had a 25% damage buff. They toned it down to 15%, and because the pro scene is incredibly weaksauce, they all dropped her instantly, as they're incapable of hitting with her grenades, don't understand how her gun works, or her molotov.

But I'm all for Strix and Kinessa getting 800 damage bodyshots, or some other silly nerf to the one thing they bring. Can't wait for Drogoz to become a terror again.

Yea, the pros all suck. Great story bro. You sound credible.
live2killzombies Nov 16, 2019 @ 2:02pm 
Nerfing his damage could be good. His shots do 1200 damage and he can shoot every second where kinessa does 1200 damage but it takes 1.4 seconds to fully charge.

So the issue with strix is his dps is higher with the rifle and not only that he can quick scope since there's no charge time. Also with the pistol damage and if you add in Unauthorized use or crack shot he has more close range burst then most flanks/damages.
