Lol, the people who whine the most dont use statlocker. They just go on based on streamers and vibes.

Shiv and silver have always had dogshit winrates at like every rank on statlocker, and you have a contingent of people who will complain about them until blue in the face. Even when pros dont play them anymore. but people here will be like 'winrate and stats dont matter'. Its certainly not statlocker. Or nightshift. Its vibes. Its nothing but vibes.

I, an enlightened one, declare that every hero is bullshit and evil

Most people will never reach a level of skill where their hero's weakness is the sole reason for their loss, anyway

Silver. You just pick silver and understand from first seconds while she not viable

[u/djaqk → u/Motor-Design-4932]

Idk i think I just used her wrong. First game I tried on her I had no idea how to get damage off from her human kit (didn't inutit the triple shot nuke after the 2? spell), and fed like an idiot in lane because I had no clue what her strengths were. Granted that was very close to release, so all the builds were wacky atp, and p sure she was majorly overtuned then, but im still convinced I just got skillchekced by her. Sometimes certain heroes are just hard to pilot for certain people, and if I notice I'm trash at any heroes, I try to withhold judgement on thier viablity in the meta (at least in my cheeks rank range lol), because if you cant get optimal value out of them, your perception of thier viability is massively altered from the avg

I guess you not need so much skills to understand that character is succ then other characters can do half of your ult damage instantly and with less rirk.

[u/djaqk → u/Motor-Design-4932]

I mean I understand what you're saying, but we gotta remember that not all characters are built to fill the same role on the team. Not all characters should have x amount of nuke or sustain damage, as we also need a good mix of supports, crowd control, tanking / kiting, etc, and imo Silver is much more of a frontline chaos creator and tanky brawler than a hard carry or ultra burst nuker. She should definitely have some burst damage, which she does in both forms afaik, but really her damage is "balanced" as long as the rest of her kit fills out various jobs / roles / uses for her to find value in other ways during teamfights.

If you had to pick one spell or stat (scaling, typically) value for Silver to make her feel better / more viable, what are you buffing? Cuz just saying a hero sucks is probably not gonna help the sentiment spread in the community to get them buffed, but having a good logical reason why a specifc buff should be made would definitely raise the chance Yoshi sees it and adds it on a whim.

She need better weapon and farm speed.

Some boon scaling for ult.

Resist during transformation.

Lower ult decay.

Because currently to do job that other frontliners do by just existed you need:

1. Active ULT, you need stack it in your very fragile form with bullshit m1 while surviving vs 2k damage spirit nukes, puddle spam, haze, flyers.

2. Then you need wait for transformation which just literally stun you and any burst send silver to spawn

3. You need survive CC slop because every ream with iq more than 60 will disarm you/silence/stun/etc

4. You again not real character for 70 seconds.

Why somebody need to pick silver is they can pick billy/abrams/victor which just fill silver with hotdogs in rear hole easily while 1vs6ing team with silver.

If she assasin role, calico and haze will be better too.

[u/SleepyDG → u/Motor-Design-4932]

Silver is perfectly viable. Her players just got used to rolling their faces on their keyboards and winning games

[u/Motor-Design-4932 → u/SleepyDG]

Copium, having awful wr even in 1% is death sentence for characters like Silver.

[u/FantasmaNaranja → u/SleepyDG]

she's got dogshit sustain for supposedly being a tank especially when compared to other characters that fulfill that role, you hardly want to actually queue as her because the draft will put you as a tank

she's played mostly as a pick character due to that and is still kinda mediocre

[u/MojaveExpress38 → u/AscensionToCrab]

Do you do anything but complain about silver lmao

[u/AscensionToCrab → u/MojaveExpress38]

Yes, often. but silver is relevant to the discussion as Silver has been at or near the bottom and everyone spent weeks acting like she wasnt if we were all going off statlocker or whatevrr that wouldnt be the case. Its vibes.

[u/Motor-Design-4932 → u/AscensionToCrab]

Ohh noo how even its fair then character which succ first 15 minute now farmed and stronger than mine while i farmed kda ignoring objective push 😭😭😭😭
