Hello everyone,
About me:
Name - FrogiiLick
K/d - 5.06 (highest was 13 in the last tech test)
W/l - 88 - 92% (Again... last test 98%)
Hero - Umm... not saying (some of you may recognise my name xD)
*I also didn't read this over so...*
So... I obviously played the beta, I also played the last 3 tests. I found the game was quite fun however, I do have some complaints and also some praises. For the sake of not just bashing the game ill start with the praises first. Remember this is just for the most part my opinion, I have gotten feedback from other players and friends but mostly me, so you may not agree with me on everything.
Characters:
Warden (Good) - She seems fine, I don't have many complaints, I find if someone plays her defensive and uses her light upper, and aoe attack... well let's just say it'd be hard for them to lose.
Conqueror (Slow/ boring) - Omg! No please, I find them so boring to fight, the battle can go on for easily 3 minutes if it's a 1v1 and even longer if it's a Conqueror vs. Conqueror... They can easily block 4 player at once, get enraged then 3 hit players. However I agree that there are way to kill them like: parry, feint, guard breaking over and over... or you can wait for the shield rush, dodge and light attack.
Peacekeeper (umm... no?) - Please... for the love of gawd nerf the poison, 1 - 5hp... dont let it kill you! Okay besides that... anyone notice that everyone plays her the same? dodge, poke, guard-break, dodge, poke... like really? She has lot's of moves but for some reason people neglect them and it just turns into this spammy **** show. Maybe balance out the other moves and nerf the poison so people wanna use other combos.
Raider (Some say hes weak) - I can agree in certain aspects, he seems like he can never punish as hard as other characters can... maybe that's because hes meant for group battles... that's why he has those throws and other aoe moves. Maybe allow him to punish people more after a marry or a guard break, I also recommend making his pick up move not let him carry you that far.
Berserker (Good) - I like the berserker, he has a wide variety of combos and also can punish hard. Awesome fight style but... if I needed to complain about something... it's the feat, he can kill me with one light attack followed by one heavy attack with his feats active. I don't know what can be done about that considering the fact that you can also do that with other characters so... possibly nerf all the buff feats?
Warlord (Honestly **** off) - Don't reward people for spamming the same move! Who thought that using the same move over and over should be rewarded with combo strings and tons of damage... nerf the stamena... His shield can block a 4v1 without a problem and his attacks are weirdly timed, super fast lights and super slow heavies... but that's just me needing to get used to them.
Kensei (Good) - I like him, it's cool how he can use a light attack when he dodges, he also does so much damage when he is enraged. I've been 2 hit by many Kensei players. Don't change a thing, well... maybe buff him slightly, dont know how tho.
Orochi (He's good) - Many people have mixed feelings about Orochi, they think hes broke nor they think he's easy to counter, I personally like his speed and love him as a character. I think he's been nerfed and buffed so much that people are just never going to think he's fair... In the first test I agree he was OP AF, but the team did a great job with making him balanced.
Nobushi (Good) - The hidden stance is good, maybe to good... but I love her nonetheless she has great combo potential and is a top pick for most experienced players. Again I recommend that you nerf the poison so it doesn't kill.
Bottom line is... I don't think that the characters are broken or super unbalanced (apart from warlord) I think that there aren't any bad characters, just bad matchups if you have a slow clunky viking versus an agile Orochi... obviously the Orochi would win, it's stupid to expect any less. The game may require slight tweaks to damage and some other minor details but.. beyond that it's great dont change any major moves or mechanics please.
I'm not going to say what character I played because well... I want this to remain biased, I like most of the characters but... i'm only rep 3 level 18 with one.

Warden (Good) -I agree. Light attack GB, Light attack combo is great also.
Conqueror (Slow) - I play as Orochi and shred these guys normally but I do Like their infinite combo string. But Just as you said, Slow.
Peacekeeper (Not sure) - Honestly I hate the bleed, but without it it i'm not sure they could EVER kill me.
Raider (Good) - Thought he was pretty terrible, until I played a guy that gave me new respect for him. Even in 1v1 if played well can smackdown an Orochi.
Berserker (Broke) - Fine. Except for the BS aura as your mentioned 2 hit kill (needs nerf asap)
Warlord (Broke) - Do I even need to explain this one -_-
Kensei (Good) - Good, Good variety and balance. On par with the Warden.
Orochi (Good) - The main character I played, Seems to be a fusion of the Peacekeeper/Kensei. Lacking some of the heavier hitting combos of the kensei but instead sporting the poke style of the peackeeper. Without bleed in 1v1 I honestly felt peacekeepers have an edge, none the less i think hes good.
Nobushi (Good) - Honestly, just walk twards them, block their attacks, they panic, u win. (very often)
Final Thoughts:
-Dominion game-mode abilities are terribly un-balanced.
-Gender LOCKED characters suck, really limits a lot of people choices. Bad call (ruined Siege for many also)
-Too many flashing lights and points and bs crap filling the hud, like all modern games. I miss simplicity. But oh well I guess im an anomaly.
-Whether revives belong in 2v2 battles deserves to be given some thought.
-Would also Hope to see a 4v4 deathmatch mode perhaps?
-Hope to see tons of customization, as far as face masks etc
-Great game!
