Does anyone else think that Sorlag is a tad bit op?

[Whoowee]

I'm not saying she's game-breaking since the game is all down to skill, but I'm just saying she has like 150 health, 100 armor, free strafejumping, and an ability that's basically free damage (and she's immune to it even if someone else uses this ability on her)

[V1ZO]

Yeah Sorlag = OP. It wil be nerfed for sure =)

[SaltyWeasel]

Sorlag has been like this for ages now

[Makko]

shes fine only acid spits damage could need bit a nerf

[MOSLEY]

As you said - not game breaking, but yes I do think that Sorlag is a little bit too powerful compared to the other champions. The Quakecon duel tourny offered pretty conclusive evidence.

The acid spit ability is super powerful, air control allows her to zip around the map fairly quickly and she has a large HP/armour pool.

A slight reduction in max HP/armour would be perfect IMO.

[Iron|Cu!]

I agree, Sorlag will surely get HP or Armor down little bit, or spit damage decrease. It's little bit OP but again, Sorlag is huge, for someone who aims good, its free damage, but still... large health pool and armor andd yep.. :)

[Heftruck]

Too much burst potential combined with big stack yeah, im shure she'll get toned down a little bit.

She's sort of mitigated by certain factors, firstly is speed: 290 base with 520 at full speed, she's not fast enough to make the Rail jump on Blood Covenant without a boost from a rocket, not quite on the same level as Anarki who also has the CPMA movement like Sorlag but moves WAY faster, his max speed after popping his special is 710.

Secondly she has a hitbox the size of a house, the LG can shred her very quickly and she's relatively easy to pick off at a distance much like other tanky champions.

Her acid spit is probably the most ridiculous part about her, although it was "nerfed" a few patches back: Direct hit damage reduced from 30-25 but it might not be enough really as I feel the tick damage should also be brought down as well. Also, while she is immune to the tick she does take damage from direct hits, so if you're playing Sorlag and you encounter another Sorlag, spit in her face.

[SaltyWeasel]

I really like her play style and sometimes its hard to select Sorlag, cause I know she is a bit on the op side. the thing is even if she gets nerfed she is just to damn much fun to play with :D

[Ganerumo]

Sorlag pretty much disregards balance altogether since she can shrug off significant amounts of punishment before having to care about her health. It gets a bit aggravating when you shoot five rockets at her feet only for her to turn around and hold M1 with a LG.

[Miasmic]

The spiit is very powerful, however, I don't particularly have issue with Sorlag unless there are 2+ on a team. At that point the spit becomes far too spammy. I agree with Krudd on the mitigation though. Sorlags relatively low speed and big hitbox make it pretty easy to dance around her with the more agile Champions.

I don't tend to take starting stack into too much account, because at this point in the games life, there are many games that I feel like only I and 1 other person are competing for the big items (people still learning Quake). It's relatively easy to level the playing field in that circumstance. I prefer the lower hp, quicker Champions -Nyx, Anarki, and Visor (not low, but quick).

I think they've done well with making the small hitbox, fast champions 75(ish) hp starter stack with the bigger slower guys taking a few more hits. I think it evens out in game. 1 rail for the small nimble hitbox of a Nyx, vs 2 rails on the slightly bigger Ranger, vs 3 to 4 on the even bigger tanky champions. The risk/reward levels out in my mind.

That being said, there are a few abilities I think need work. The one that bugs me most is Scalebearer. That damage reduction is so strong.
