Yeah take this thread down. They aren't gonna change the shoulder charge mechanics just for one hero. Cry about it
The only somewhat counter i've found to GG is mind trick and hopefully the person on the other end will not be able to deal with the slown down controls or hit u only once.
I get it, the new control changes for dash mechanics kinda erase all arguments about the thrust surge vs shoulder charge discussions.
But just think about how it was before the update: When Solo countered your thrust surge, there was perhaps little you could do anymore. If the Solo players didn't just roll.
The general issue that Han's shoulder charge might be a tiny bit OP for hero combat however still persists.
In the last update they even rose the dmg output by 50 points and I strongly suspect that this was done because some whiney youtuber with much followers complained about how weak the ability and Han Solo overall is. I mean just forget about that before the update the ability could already OHK regular troopers, but now it can also instakill heavies. No dmg increase star cards are even needed for this...
But sure, almighty youtuber felt higher and mightier than me and so he responded with insults when I critisiced him in the comments below lol
The point here is not that the new controls had the bad side effect to make Grievous op overall (yeah, no further debates needed about that), but that Han's shoulder charge goes a bit over the top. Not as much as the dreaded claw rush of course, but it does.
@soapy_catusesYou can counter by standing very close to a wall and block as this won't allow Grievous/Rey/Kenobi/Han Solo to maneuver behind your back and maybe even cancel their animation, just as before the update when the dash went rather straight into a wall.
You still need to be cautious though and always adjust the block to their position, as they can still somewhat slip through you by dashing parallel to the wall (consider Greivous big hitbox size!).
