Orochi feel op in duels | Forums

[madkowtow]

This game is pretty well balanced but ive certainly noticed that the orochi seem to have a pretty good damage output with a ton of stamina and a couple of their moves that are really good cost hardly any stamina at all (storm rush) and they switch guard position really quick making them extremley frustrating to fight as anything but another orochi, I can tell something is up seeing as how it seems every other person plays them (in duels)

I think that the problem is in the defect, is too easy to use and can counterattack all your attacks.

Ya I know they're specifically good at counter attacks, but it just feels like for how much stamina they have + stamina they hardly use + descent damage and range = op

[madkowtow]

Dont get me wrong, I have killed them (mostly in dominion) and they are not unbeatable, it just feels to me that they have a big advantage (at least in 1v1 duels), maybe op was the wrong term

I think that the Orochi need a serious nerf, and I hope this happens when the full game comes out. Their Zephyr dodge slash makes dodging any top attacks a breeze. If you can't dodge it then just parry into wind gust. Their insanely op in a 1v1 and when you get into matches over and over again where the whole team is orochi it just shows how theyre not "Hard" to play. Whenever I play one I usually end the game with 10+ kills and no deaths. As much as theyre fun to play as I would be very happy if they got nerfed somehow, so it actually becomes viable for me to play another class.

I wouldnt even say a serious nerf but seriously their moves need to take more stamina, seriously storm rush is so good and it takes practically no stamina to use and its really difficult to parryand hard to dodge.

Something needs to be done ...fighting them 1v1 is an absolout pain

You are inable to counter him if you don't atack first and you don't escape of his counterattack.

Orochi will get nerfed, or this game wont last long because of such a class imbalance.

Honestly, I used to think orochi was op too until I got better at the game. Sure the counter is anonying, but if you swing wildly at them, as I notice most people do, you deserve the damage they dish out. It took me a while to get used to using the Orochi as the block is extremely weak and deflecting certain classes such as the raider have very weird timings. I find raider much easier to deal with by simply dodging and attacking off of that. And if the raider is good enough, they will cancel their attack and destroy me when I try. Good kensei players are monsters and I struggle immensely against them with everything except the warden. I'll give you that conquerors are fairly easy to beat with orochi as long as you don't get hit by their shield bash, but aside from that, they balance well with most of the classes. Berserker and Orochi are fairly even to the point if the orochi makes a mistake they can lose half their health bar. Wardens are very limiting for an orochi as the orochi's only unblockable attacks are off a defelct or overhead and overheads vs warden are suicidal. All in all, if you can't beat them, 1v1 or otherwise, you probably aren't good enough yet. The skill cap on this game is really high, to the point i'm constantly learning new ways to fight from the people I play against. And trust me, getting destroyed in a dominion game because the other team has a kensei or raider who's good enough to 1v3 without revenge mode is extremely frustrating. I honestly feel stuck at the point between the really good players who are monsters and the scrubs who can barely win 1v1s by flukes, let alone hold a point.
