13:24 you might know now, but when abrams is ulting to leave you can wait a bit and ult him right when he starts descending and your ultimate will follow him wherever he lands. Necros did that recently on a feeding Abrams and it was a nice interaction
Bruh, I started the video thinking I had a few seconds to get dinner before the true action, and all I hear are 2 deaths within 20 seconds...what the hell? Lol
I think if abrams doesn't have duration extender or something like that (there is a specific item he needs) you can parry right after the shoulder charge if abrams immediately follows up with a heavy melee. A good abrams would delay or bait the parry first before commiting when he doesn't have that item.
yeah, now abram need 2nd upgrade for the charge to perform melee charge after hit enemy, before that i alway hit enemy with 1 light attack after charge, some time they scared and parry stantly , then i can easy heavy punch em next 3s, he he
No. A good abrams would buffer the heavy melee. He doesn't need duration extender, you need debuff reducer. And he can counter reducer with superior duration, which at that point you'll need debuff remover.
@ngocanhnguyen8437 No. The 2nd upgrade for the charge is the charge duration, not the stun duration. You can see in the tool tip that when you upgrade the shoulder charge, only the charge duration increases and the stun duration is unchanged.
Hi dude, I'm using your shiv build and it's the best! I do have I question though, why get spirit life steal instead of bullet? It looks like you're doing a lot more buller dmg then spirit, or is there some other reason? Yes, you do have the melee life steal, but why not stack it?
I used this build but removed torment pulse , it does very little damage to only 2 targets and costs too much. I get it if you want to stack escalating , but the knife does that plenty and doesn't take a slot and is free.
He doesn't have any inherent regen, he profits more from lifesteal because his 3 protects him from burst but nothing in his kit heals him. The only thing that looks like a heal is the active part of his 3, which is kind of a damage mitigation CD rather than a heal and is not the reason why he's strong
No, Shiv is now either average or below average. It is not hard to counter Shiv just no one does it. Slows and healing reduction with decent DPS and he folds quick. I had to stop playing him because other characters can carry harder with way less effort and need for feed.
bro shiv is busted idk what ur saying. he’s just fair with healbane and/or toxic bullets to counter. u need like 1-3 items just to make shiv fair to play against lol
Not a single one of them bought spirit armor. 13:35, also you were 10k above that abrams when he had 7k and he still gave you 700 gold for killing him. The game should have gave you 70 instead... is there no spirit discrepancy for kills based on how far apart your farm is?
No and it's a bit of a complain from many players. The game rewards hunting the noobs and feeding off them. The good point of this design decision is that when you're fed you can freely go crazy and limit test because there is no bounty on your head either
High mmr players know Shiv is just over hype from early patches & the hype got carried to this day even tho he;s already nerfed to the ground. If you play tourney there's actually no clear reason to pick shiv because once shiv fall off souls, he can't join fight because you dont have enough sustain & damage to build up his rage, you miss few knifes? you're done. get a little bit close for his gun? get deleted. His early game is so important that there's no room for mess up. Dev need to revert back his patch for him to keep up with todays meta build.

Did not realize this channel exists. Gonna sub up!
Love the deadlock videos man, good vibes all around. Does your duo have youtube channel?
His twitch is redami!
@@AverageJonasShorts thanks!
Wraith is practically griefing by continuing to try to fight you 1v1 or at least not stay away from you…

Shiv main here, hes solid but probably not the best in the game. Id argue a bit inflated due to melee being super strong rn too.

It looks like you're doing a lot more buller dmg then spirit, or is there some other reason?
Yes, you do have the melee life steal, but why not stack it?
I can only imagine it's for the burst off of the dash and ult, and some passive healing from the dots on the knife?
I actually changed the build to rush leech instead now!

The torment pulse is for farming in the mid game to reach the power spike.
refresher is the move
god damn Shiv's regen is insane.
He doesn't have any inherent regen, he profits more from lifesteal because his 3 protects him from burst but nothing in his kit heals him.

does ethereal shift make shiv lose the reset on his ult? i feel like if thats the counterplay item shiv is in an okay spot.
Yes it will
Good luck casting etheral shift on reaction of a shiv ult
@zilliq-qz5uw not super hard if there's not alot going on noise wise. My concern is hitting it when he isn't targeting me then getting a reset.
You are playing against bots, matchmaking is so wierd

They did my boy shiv dirty I had a 70% win rate now I don't even want to pick him
If no one is countering Shiv propertly sounds to me like he should still be pretty good, far from top tier though.

Spirit shiv feels sooo underwhelming. Why not just go gun damage
its underwhelming until you spam your 2 without any cooldown
playing against absolute bots

uh don't make a guide at all with any video, the quality of your opponents is garbage
Matchmaking was bugged last week
