    Revenge mode is too OP

    I've been playing a while, and I think revenge mode should be removed or nerfed significantly.

    If you are fighting against someone, and winning handily, it is the worst thing in the world to be one hit away from killing them and suddenly they knock you to the ground and get a bunch of free hits, and end up winning the fight.

    For the winner this might feel great, but the loser is completely demoralised and feels like they were cheated out of a win.

    What do you think about this? Ubisoft sometimes over-gameifys their games, and I think having this stupid effect in the game causes more harm than good to the integrity of the experience.

    You're not the only 1. Revenge mode needs a major nerf/fix. It's completely broken and bad players are abusing it to their advantage. Another new trick people are doing, jump into 2 on 1s (when they're the 1) get revenge mode because they're "outnumbered and need a balance" and then have their team mates come in and gank the other 2. Easy free 2 kills, it's pathetic.

    Worst is definitely in 1 on 1 situations, it should not exist in 1 on 1s period.

    I've never seen anyone get revenge in a 1v1 unless they do a lot of continuous blocking, in which case, stop attacking predictably. Guardbreak, feint, cancel your heavy attacks, control your stamina usage. Yeah I see it happening a lot in 2v1 situations and that's because that person goes 100% defensive. Which is what you're supposed to do. Revenge Mode is there to provide an edge in a dire situation. It doesn't fill up quite as quickly, but if you're constantly getting 2v1 and 3v1 situations, it'll come faster. In a 2v1, if you're the 2 and the other guy is a 1, one of you backs away a little bit, or the one that the 1 is focused on just stand there be a distraction, guardbreak, do whatever you can to get the 1 to go on the offensive. If you're the 2 and you're not being focused, easy solution, dont stand too close, but keep close enough that you can jump in when your teammate reaches critical health (flashing red). Step in with a guardbreak or an unblockable, and you'll be fine.

    Revenge is basically Halo's overshield,but the other guy only gets so much. It stops bleeding, it prevents bleed and you're losing your quick adrenaline rush, which is basically what it is. Is it OP? No, not really. But if you're in, let's say Dominion, and you notice one guy triggers Revenge twice within a minute and it's 3v1, just back away completely go capture another point. Kill minions, something. Don't keep feeding the other guy his meter by blocking everything. I do this all the time, if I see a 3v1 about to happen, I just go and capture another point or kill minions for extra renown and points. Can't call Revenge OP if it's never used against you.

    KokuRou142:

    You can't just say it isn't OP because you can just go and do something else. Enemies are breaking, it's 3v1 and he just gets revenge mode, kills one then runs away because there is no counter to revenge mode. Why is it even in the game. You're in a 3v1, just die or play really well. The designers have some weird thing about helping the underdog, as though in a 3v1 situation of 3 people beating down on you should have some way to come back. I'd rather there was no way to come back, just die and stop positioning yourself in the middle of 3 people.

    Why would you be 3 on 1 anyways? Are you chicken to fight me 1 vs 1? Most of you gang up on me. Learn to fight your own battles. What honor is 3 or 4 on 1? When I get revenge mode you cry in the forums. 4 attcks blocks from 4 players means your skilled.

    Revenge...

    I completely agree. In different domination games, I played against a warden and a nobushi. Each time I was beating them, a team mate would assist. This was a horrible decision because they would enter revenge mode and go ham on us. Unstoppable... I felt completely helpless in a fight that I was winning. Short of running out of fear for my digital life, not sure how to counter the Revenge mode. I find myself wishing that it wasn't even in the game. I don't see a need for it. To help balance a 3 v 1... how about not getting into that position. You should never be able to win a 3v1 let alone a 2v1 unless they are really bad. Just my two cents.

    You do realize revenge doesn't last long. You also know there a gaurd break. If the person is blocking use gaurd break. Or hit them in the back. Most of you run to fight 2-4 on 1. Revenge helps the under dog. You do realize this is beta. Revenge might be in the story too. Just like DBZ xenoverse 2 all your complaining and asking for nerfs will ruin single player.

    I see a lot of legitimate reason why revenge needs to be nerfed or removed in these forums. On the other side of the argument I just see people calling each other noob and they do not know how to play. For one it is clear that revenge is being abused and spammed. Not that its overpowered. but its definitely being spammed. As far as the buffs go. You get more power, defense, half your health back (or more) and you knock your enemy down because of a mighty roar?. I have handle a 2v1 situation before well with out revenge mode. The other day, I watched 4v1 and it was ridicules how many times this dude got revenge mode.

    Im just saying, i hear a lot of good reasons to nerf it. Yet everyone is being called a noob for saying them. Instead lets try and figure out why the game HAS to have revenge mode at all? If it does, then how can we stop it from being spammed. Please dont call me noob and dont know how to handle it. Im the guy that just runs around the map knocking people off it and triple stabbing people anyway :-P

    I would like to see an option to play Dominion with revenge mode turned off. With the right gear anyone can keep spamming it until backup arrives.

    Also, for the sake of any decent matchmaking, here's something to consider:
    Add divisions according to gear rank.
    It's silly having to face a team of lvl 75 gear when your own team is at 10-20. The match is more or less already lost before it even begins.

    Just play defense bro

    I swear, people just come here to complain. If they activate revenge, start blocking, parrying and shield breaking. Most of them go on an attack frenzy and won't block. I love fighting against revenge opponents just to see them salty when I kill them within seconds.
