Make Etalus go into parry stun if his down B shockwave gets parried#447

Given the reward Etalus gets off successfully freezing his opponent, I think Etalus should get punished harder if his opponent reads that he’s going to attempt to do so

I agree but etalus is far from a character who needs more nerfs.

I’m going to have obvious bias here because I play Etalus, but I really don’t think this is necessary. If you parry the shockwave, you have been given invincibility, and Etalus has just removed all his setup for nothing.

hotel Pneumario the way I see it, if you’re able to parry the shockwave, it’s because the Etalus was far away enough that you could react to it, in which case it’s difficult to catch up to him to make effective use of the invincibility, or you’re close to him and he either messed up his execution somehow or you read the down B far in advance, in which case I think he definitely deserves significant punishment for that. Right now the risk-reward for going for parry versus spotdodging, jumping, or even shielding the shockwave just isn’t there
