I would like more stamina for offense
Stamina cost of zone attacks
I feel that the stamina cost of zone attacks are far too high. Using a zone normally takes a third to half of your stamina, which leaves little for other forms of offense. I think stamina cost of zone attacks should be standardised to the cost of normal heavies and lights. For example:
- for every heavy that thrown in a zone, like normal heavies, it should cost 12 stamina.
- for every light that is thrown in a zone, light normal lights, it should cost 6 stamina.
- if the zone involves a bash(e.g. Gladiator), then the bash should be the cost of a standard short bash, e.g. 12-15 stamina.
These changes would make single hit and multi-hit zones fairer and allow for more offense.
Stamina cost of light attacks
The devs made the right call to try to address light spam and make the game more inclusive in the process. However, they took it too far. They didn't need to increase the stamina cost of lights to reduce light spam, they only needed to do the following:
- reduce the damage of light attacks along with heavies to give more time for reads
- reduce the hit stun of lights to allow players to dodge out of their opponent's light chains
- add frame disadvantage to light finishers so the defender can get the next attack first
Increasing stamina cost on lights reduced offense overall since anyone using lights had less stamina for other mixups. This was 1-2 steps backward from the progress we gained from the removed stamina penalties on blocks, parries, and misses.
The new update has ruined everything.
Assassins like my main Shinobi have been screwed over especially him because everything he does can get countered.He has the lowest amount of health in the game and the same about damage and why was his quad dash removed when Pk and the viking 2 have more dodges. Being the weakest in the game, he shouldn't have a block timer if hes going against Shugoki, Centurian, Warmonger, Jang Juan, and such are so overpowered especially Warmonger since she have the most overpowered feats. Like who came up with a Apollyon ripoff idea. I started playing again yesterday since I wanted to see how things were but first match in, I went against four of her and my entire team ended leaving. I want to rip my hair out after every round because its so frustrating going against overpowered heros with people who non stop gank. This is by far the worst update I've seen in a while for a game with such a big population. I loved the game last season since a few things were more balanced but this season is an absolute **** show. Parries are even harder to do with attack speed increased and un-blockables barely even being able to move out the way of. I would prefer to play Predator Hunting Grounds than this disaster of a game.I love Breakpoint more than this game even though thats considered worse than Wildlands (which after owning both, I can kinda see why.) This update/ future of the game needs to be re thought of which can take inspiration from Ghost of Tushima with that combat system and add other popular Ubisoft series looks into the mix ( Rabids even got a patch in Wildlands.) Like what about even adding predator into the mix, he has weapons we can use and a good set of tools that wouldn't be overpowered. Fix this game before it gets worse.
