Honest question: What do you think about guard break spams and unblockables? | Forums

[The.Odee]

I find myself versing good warlords and wardens from time to time and all they do is either spam guard break or their unblockables (head butt or shoulder charge). They don't run out of stamina and not much you can do about it, especially when you get fps drops that delay your inputs.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it balanced or too easily abused? I probably just suck but it's pretty annoying.

Spamm guardbreak is fine, but it is not fine when they just wait for parry into guaranteed gb.
unblockables push is cancer for people in revenge, or cancer when they can be cancelable into guardbreak or as fast as warlod + free attack.

This is one of the most boring and idiotic thing in the game.

Many time, in duel, i meet people who just wait for you to attack, parry and then spamming GB.
Against these people who are 100% defense, you aren't able to do anything.

The new GB timing make no sense btw.

GB needs definitly adjustement,maybe being more stamina costly.
But to be faire, running out of stamina isn't really a problem against defensive players. They can still block and counter GB.

Yep, Defense > attack
Those cancer players are everywhere

And u don't know what, when running out of stamina, they're still able to parry into guaranteed guard break, yeye !

This is truly kind of broken, and with the messed up GB, the players who favors the offense and aren't able to learn the particular frame to counter are mainly ****ed

The relative strength of parries and dangers of offensive options force people to do things like this, as they're the only offensive options that have a positive risk/reward ratio.

I parry/guard-break when I play against Assassins.
One way or another those fools are going to stand still so I can hit them

Unblockable pushes are cancer and plain annoying, bad gameplay experience, but endurable.

But that Guardbreak. They managed to utterly drive it straight into shet. It was difficult during beta, but when you got the hang of it, it worked PERFECTLY (that bug aside where your GB gets canceled and you get grabbed when doing it nearly simultaneously). But now? Lucky idiots can get a guardbreak of on you and ruin you just because you maybe pressed dodge first after getting guardbroken, even though you hit counter GB just in time after that. Once you press another button, you lose your chance to counter the break. What the holy fk did they think? That they fixed it? They made it so damn inconsistent, sluggish, unreliable and lucky. Why can people get guaranteed guardbreaks after parry or other faults you make? That's not guardbreak anymore, at this point it's gamebreak. They have to revert it to beta levels. It worked so well, once you put your mind on it. Now you can't even mash the button when you know it's coming in. You have to take a fking risk and probably die. Especially when outnumbered, you can forget about fighting. You're simply gonna get guardbroken now, since mashing the button to prevent the incoming break won't work. It's supposed to get you by surprise, not by dumb luck or hitting another button accidentally. Destroyed the entire game for me.
