    Is it just me, or are assassins/fast characters everywhere?

    I dont have anything against those fast paced characters, but 90% in duels I meet them, which is a bit annoying and one sided.

    Why ?

    Because dodgeing(attacks) is extremely easy.
    Dodge = 100% block in all sites and a 100% freehit.
    But the counter is very difficult... poor Warden,Conquer,Raider,Warlord and Lawbringer

    Its because people prefer faster dex characters. Just look at every dark souls game PvP wise.... I love this game, but they should have made another 6 or so assasin-mid weight heroes because thats where the majority of players will gravitate. Now you have a lot of the player base pooling at the dex characters due to a lack choice, not because they are OP, but because its the sort of class most just want to play.

    Hopefully moving forward they take this into consideration...

    No .. They flock to them, because dodge is spamable and op assassin classes.

    Fast characters simply own the meta, because of the staggering and low stamina cost of fast attack speed.

    Stop talking ********, dodgeing is neither a free hit nor 100% block.

    Because they feel responsive.I usually play Pk and when today i tryed Lawbringer it seemed way too slow to me.With assassins you press r1 and they attack.With tanks/vanguards you press r1 and they wait,then attack.
