Paradox can oneshot

This isn't technically a bug, but it is a major power imbalance, and I don't know where else to put it. Paradox players are buying vortex web, echo shard, superior duration, and shadow weave. This lets them oneshot combo almost anyone. They shadow weave to sneak up on you, throw a grenade at you, vortex web, put a wall on you to silence, echo shard, carbine, swap through the wall, then top it off with a melee if you still have health. The only real counter to this is ethereal shift.
I've played three games against paradox players who run this disgusting build, and it absolutely ruins the game. If you don't buy E-shift ASAP, they just run away with free kills. Even if you do buy it, they just attack someone else or wait for you to use it in another situation. If they are lucky to have one or two teammates who can also stun you, then you have almost no chance of winning.
Terrible build to run if you have any human decency, and shame on all those players for ruining those matches.
I urge the devs to please do something to nerf either Paradox, Vortex Web, or both. Otherwise, this build will become a major problem soon.
 
this is a problem with calico and bebop as well- they really need to take a good look at hero balance, its suppose to be a teamfighting game, not annihilate the enemy in under a second game, nothing about that is fun to play
 
this feels like a very niche way to play that requires a lot of net worth to pull off. not saying your experience is invalid, but have you tried counterbuying or playing around it? if a paradox is building around their damage amp with the grenade, they should be rewarded for keeping you in the radius of the grenade, especially for dropping 12k+ on doing only that.
