Tier 1: Artharion, Proteus

Tier 2: Rascal, Dawne, Ava

Tier 3: Calamity, Yoshimi, Balthazar

I can elaborate further on individual shapers later. But for now because of the itimization paths in the game- i feel that sun scaling heros have the highest nuke potential, Artharions ability to synergize this with an earth scaling buff gives him both dawne style nuke with sustained dps and mobility making him the most broken in my mind. I can talk more about builds later but its possible to hit in the hundred without buffs on auto attacks.. on a SUN shaper, and only 3-4 items complete in addition to the inherently high nuke potential of sun abilities.

The same logic explains why dawne, and rascal are so high. Proteus on the other hand also has great mobility, and his damage scales off of health giving him inehrent tankability. His ability to switch to mele offers good utility with the knockup, and gives a movement bost. when in ranged his increased attack speed give him good synergy with "on hit" or 3rd hit items. having your third hit proc at the same time your q becomes activatable gives him high nuke potential for such a tanky ranged shaper.

As far at the third tier is concerened. I can see where one might want to fight for balthazar to be higher due to is 10 second cd vengeful spirit ult. haha and thats definately a good point. he is very strong i agree. but i dont feel that attack speed scaling main attribute is efficient in a carry role where you have to outnuke outkite or outplay he has no mobility or hard nukes

Tier 1: Brutus, HamHock, Lucky, Lizeth

Tier 2: Roland Grizzle Marco

Tier 3: Master Fung Bombast Diesel

What do you guys think. I know it seems like im putting more weight on dps than utility, but only to an extent. Brutus has the best reliable CC. Diesel despite his reposition is underwhelming unless you build a comp around it. Bombast Shield is great, and so is luckys kit is one of the most fun. but they quicky become nonfactors aside from tanking a turret or or helping lock someone down, which any of the others could do just as well

Tier 1: Jericho Kyra

Tier 2: Master Fung, Lucky

Its important to keep in mind that there will be more shapers added, but for now this is basically what is looks like, and thats because the tier 2 options are also tanks/bruisers, and some ♥♥♥♥ about a jack of all trades being bad at healing.


Jericho and Kyra are completely different in their play styles, Kyra is entierly support with her abilities being 2 heals and a taunt. Where as Jericho is an offensive support, whos only heal also does damage. Obviously kyras heals are much stronger. and Jericho could even be lumped into the nukers, but his silence realy puts his ability to suport over the edge. Fortunately hes the kind of support that has an ezzy ult every 10 seconds and breaths fireballs. who said supporting cant be fun.
