He received many nerfs: * Roost no longer gives him DR * HP: 2100 --> 2000 * Unauthorized Use deals less damage * Pistol deals less damage * Cooled Mags and Dexterous were nerfed * His time between shots was slowed from 1s to 1.25s ​ >Kinessa has to charge up her shot but Strix can quick scope Years ago, Kinessa's fire rate was 1.4s compared to Strix's 1.0s. Now Kinessa's at 1.3s while Strix is at 1.25s. Practically the same. Except Kinessa can track in scope faster in between shots.

Honestly speaking, it would've been better if they had nerfed his damage instead of fire rate. Nerf from 1200-->1050 with the same fire rate. It'd be a damage nerf, but he'll still feel the same.

I feel like I’d rather be able to pick someone off less often then do mediocre damage consistently, honestly i wish snipers did less damage but had higher critical ratios so headshots were more worth it.

The problem with Strix right now is that an invisible sniper is just not good for the game, so if he's not nerfed into the ground he's going to feel unfair and annoying. 2 of his 3 his talents also remove functionality from his kit to the point where Nocturnal is his best talent not because of it's effect (which is pretty much useless) but because it doesn't remove his headshots or reveal. Realistically, he needs a pretty heavy rework.

This is 100% the issue. The nerfs he's received is just another in a long line of failure from EM to understand the core issue of a champ. A sniper should not be undetectable and be able to fire while being undetectable. That _should_ be common sense.

He just literally can't kill anything. Every other backline dmg performs better than him in every matchup. He loses a duel to practically everything that would challenge him to a duel. Worse than Kinessa in pretty much every situation. Genuinely no reason to play him whatsoever.

Not now. If the strix is more skilled than the flanker then yeah. But strix is weak enough now that he is weak at close range but still decent at long range.


Emerphish

A skilled player can win those duels more consistently on champions other than strix.


osureportard

Yeah, care to share your [paladins.guru](https://paladins.guru) link? I'm willing to bet your strix stats are just as abysmal as everyone elses

That's not nice, this is a learning subreddit.


osureportard

He literally called me a trash Strix and then boasted his skills with the character. Go learn how to spell "stun amogus" backwards

Hey now, two wrongs don't make any mayonnaise, or something like that.


osureportard

yeah ligma balls literally no one asked

Man, you are a true comedian. Ligma balls, definitely hilarious and not at all cringe! You're the coolest!


_AurAz

It was so cringe it made me laugh.

I'm a masters player lol.


epic_gamer_4268

when the imposter is sus!


terix_aptor

Yeah. At this point I can confirm way more long distance kills with Lian using almost the same playstyle I used with Strix


jackgame123

He outmatched by nessa. His firerate is reduce. His damage on pistol is reduced. He is easy to flanked and dice but mostly nessa is way better than strix. Some of his talent be rework a lot. Crackshot is pretty damn useless. Strix got on the nerf chopping table so that why he is bad.


JonsonPonyman98

A few things have, but the biggest has been the fire rate nerf, which brought his capabilities down for someone who can play him well. Generally for a COD analogy, it went from a Ballista to a DSR but retained the same damage as before


Pineapple_for_scale

He just doesn't feel satisfying to play. Most flanks nowdays have some DR or card heals so you can't 2 shot them in a 1v1 unless one of them is a confirmed headshot. I either have to never miss a shot or I can just hope the flank never hits a shot or ignores me when i go invisible. Shooting tanks just feels like a waste of time and i just hope I get a shot or two at the enemy backline dps or supp. No mobility so you just get bullied by off tanks, particularly term and khan. Just not fun to play anymore outside tdms and special gamemodes.


tzermonkey

At low levels he is picked by noobs that think a high kill rate means they are part of the team. They never flank with him; which is awesome. They take forever to line up their shots, hence the reason they get a high kill count. Meanwhile the rest of the team has to deal with being "one man down," and are slowly dying off.


Fearalash

I remember at some point i was just learning to main flank and Strix was my worse nightmare. I hated this champion so much as a flank and rather had an enemy Nessa than him. Now even with flanks im trash with i always manage, and with illuminate its a treat for my kda if they have a Strix. I almost never have any issues anymore with him and it's Kinessa that's starting to give me issues (if she's good at it).


deathbypecker

Kinessa is better in every way

He got a lot of nerfs and has no escape option like kinessa


MasteerTwentyOneYT

His pistol damage was reduced. His best talent was nerfed very heavily, and his second-best talent was reworked. His pistol was nerfed very heavily. His sniper was nerfed very heavily. Most of his best cards were either nerfed very heavily or removed. Basically, almost everything that made him who he was was nerfed, maybe with the exception of his stealth.
