So I will try to remove my biases and all from this. But this rework is so broken and annoying to face. I do not understand how this even came to testing grounds. Everything shinobi does is a way to get him sickle rain. I feel like this was not a rework but just a way to make the hero stronger without taking into account any of the things people like about shinobi. Every single move he does leads to sickle rain and on top of that sickle rain leads into moves that lead to sickle rain. I do not enjoy fighting sickle rain. if I throw an attack and it gets parried I am immediately in a mixup of the following options, dodge the kick, prepare for a heavy feint to gb, parry the unblockable, or prepare for the undodgeable heavy. If you predict 1 wrong thing then he is able to get sickle rain. Shinobi has more options at his disposal. Also shinobi can punish a lot of things with his dodge kick. Similar to highlander, except that highlander hasto deal with going into offensive stance and also not being able to block, parry, or counter gb. Shinobi does not need to worry about those things. I just do not understand how this hero was reworked to be a bigger annoyance than he was before.
