Shadows need a nerf, surely people understand this right?

Literally, where is the counterplay? I must know, because 6 shadows with no items wins games all by themselves, i don't understand how nobody else thinks this?

To activate 6 Shadow you have to buy either Shadow Lux or Yi. This comp often appears only in low tiers (Gold or below), because in high tiers, it's not easy to maintain your HP until you see either of them in the shop. If you reserve your gold to buy XP to level 8, you may not have enough gold left to make Yi or Shadow Lux appear in the shop, because the chance is still too slight, only 6%. Even when you've got them, you may also finish the game with top 5 or below because this comp has a huge lack of durability of front line. Crystal, Poison or Mystic can easily counter this comp.

They got indirectly buffed when they removed spatulas from the carrousel, because other team compositions are much harder to make now.

I have played Shadow. and yes, it's bad right now, only made worse cause some of the counters like crystal and especially poison have been hit with the nerf bat.

6 shadow is way overtuned. 6 shadow should be nerfed and they should consider adding an 8 shadow bonus for completion with shadow lux that can be your exodia/overtuned bullcrap they like to do with the other lux crap.

6 Shadow is the best comp but is not easy to achieve. Like others said, you need master yi. Kindred is your main carry till you find 2 stars Master yi, but Kindred is wanted by almost all players early-mid game. You need items.
