Why are all the assassin heroes so ****ing OP?! | Forums

[PRjustin12792]

Peacekeeper and Orochi are absolutely ridiculous speed and damage wise and have no noticeable downside.

[Waynedetta40k]

Because other heroes are more dependant on the basics in this game and people still suck at the basics, while its easy to spam win with orochi and peacekeeper against noobs. Proof you are a noob is basicially this:

have no noticeable downside

This is why they seem op.

They're really not all bad if you just pay attention. All their defining moves have simple counters and are really visibly blatant.

No down sides? What about their low health,lack of shield or long lasting protection and low single hit damage?They are indeed easy to use if you spam,but when you face a good opponent that can react instead to simply take all your lights,they are the hardest class to use.

I agree. even thought they do have a downside on the health they have, it's 1 not enough in my opinion and 2 IF you miss 1 attack, a assasing with some form of experiance can easily get 3 or 4 attacks in without you being able to block it and incase anyone at ubisoft is reading this, please fix the bug that shows the normal mouse as soon as you go in to shift F2 or SHIFT TAB. thanks!

I've only played orochi during all tests CB etc.

And you're wrong.

They are squishy as *****, revenge mode is a lot less viable.

IMO, the shielded guys are OP, and i'm talking about the potential.

Any bot i fight with a shield it's impossible to get through his defence, they can attack and block afterwards. Little openings, lots sustainability and God help you if your friend joins the fight cuz then you got one of these ***** in revenge mode.

orochi requires higher skill, not getting hit etc.

I'm sorry but that is simply not strue. Yesterday I played the Conquerer every single time that I block I would try to counter and the damn PeacemakerS, every single one of them, would just get away without taking any dmg. It ****ing frustrating that have them take shots at you, MISS and just go away without anykind repercussion. It's ridiculous actually. So I started using parry, which is theory, superior then blocks. Nope... Still getting away. Now on the flip side, every time I attacked, I was in trouble and losing HP. How is that logical game mechanics? Maybe the Orochi is not as OP as the Peacemaker but all the lights are superior. There's a reason why you only see those in duels!! Little kids wants to win at all cost.

Have to disagree. The assassins really need an expert hand to do well with. If you go down to spamming lights, it is your own failure. Vast majority of Orochi players couldn't parry a high heavy from a raider.

In the entire beta, I only played one assassin who knew their stuff, any other time i lost to an orochi was just because I screwed up defending against light attack spam.

[Womb_Raider___]

Yeah I agree assassins are too easy to use.

I've been trying to find a way to beat them using warden, the only thing I found is spamming the sweep attack thing (right click + left click) seems to work pretty well.

It attacks so fast and so far they just don't expect it, but it's crucial to keep your distance at all times and recharge your stamina because it uses a lot of it. I now win most of my matches against peacekeepers and orochi.
