I think he meant conq.

I believe he thinks the berserker infinite chain is all lights.

It's a game of gimmicks and niche tactics.

No skill at all. Even in 1v1, my last few opponents just try to charge you off the edge.

List of Changes
-Remove environmentals altogether from duel and brawl - they have absolutely no reason to be in game modes that are meant to be based on 1v1 skill
-Remove the revive option from Brawl and Deathmatch
-Change revenge to be either be a fully agressive or fully defensive buff and allow the player to choose between the two
-Remove all possible stun locks from the game
-Remove the chain potential from berserker's light attacks, capping it at 2 hits or even 3
-remove the chain potential from Peacekeeper's combination attacks, capping at 2 hits before a refresh
-Allow guard breaks to hit characters during dodges, but increase the reaction window for guard breaks

Honestly there are more but these are immediate issues.

If you're a dev reading this, you honestly can't be fine with the way the community has gone in for honor, can you?

- Lol no
- ditto
- interesting, but no
- reasonable
- lol no
- no
- just remove invulnerability frames from dodges, if you dodge into a wall you didn't dodge at all.

Yeah, this generation of gamers is different than past generations, and it's ruining gaming. Games of the past strived to require skill, but games now days are dumbed down to the point of absurdity, because (factually speaking) millennials are lazy and don't want anything to be skill based. You have an entire generation of kids that were given participation trophies, told they're special snowflakes, and are actually begging for socialism... it's absolutely insane.

Past generations wanted nothing more than the opportunity to stand out among their peers, this generation just wants everything to be easy. They don't care about competition in the least. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Millennials also have the least amount of sex of any generation... Anything catered to this crap generation is going to be a reflection of how lazy, complacent, and unwilling to compete, they truly are as a whole.

However, duel is pretty popular. I play duel more than anything else, and it's usually at medium activity.

they should just title the game Ledge of Honor. Every match someone getting thrown off its ridiculous the amount of hazards in the map. Why the **** is there a ledge at EVERY fighting point. Either take them away or make it more difficult to 1 shot someone FFS.

Yeah,it's sad to see duels pretty much always at low activity while gank fest domini is the most played...As long as I can find players tho, this isn't a issue.I just want 1 thing:duel being real duels.With sword,Axes,spears and daggers not simply "oh i gb you?Gg I win".Remove those ledges,and kids won't have their crutch anymore.

Game doesn't need more tools to help you in a 1 v 4 situation. 1 v 4 should be a near impossible obstacle to deal with. Defend and run till you have backup. If you were in an alley being robbed by 4 people would you "stand your ground"?

[ShawnDeath]

Also if you're so worried about getting throw off a ledge, take control of the situation and fight where YOU are comfortable. There is no game mechanic requiring you to get down in a guard stance and fight next to that bottomless pit lol

-Allow guard breaks to hit characters during dodges, but increase the reaction window for guard breaks

This is already a thing

First off, let's talk about the community's reponse to being forced to play a skill based game.
If you go and have a look you'll find that dominion is the most played game mode, by a country mile, a longshot, a huge margine. Nothing even compares to the numbers you get in dominion, with 1v1 duel being about as populated as the entirety of the battleborn servers.

Why is this the case? Why are people shying away from 1-1 combat when the game is based around it?
Well, it's simple. There's no need to learn.

There's just no need to learn to be good at the game, since you can just guard break, press the button again and throw someone off a ledge or into spikes and win. Or have your 3 buddies follow you around in a roaming gank squad, 1v4'ing the living hell out of everyone you see.
To compound this issue, light attack spam is alarmingly effective, especially on console, considering that server latency will sometimes simply cause your blocks to just not register, at all.

Total nonsense wtf?!
I prefere Dominion too and saying that you don't need skill is completely trash. Like you don't ever face enemies there 1vs1 all the time
I often faced really hard 1vs1 battles, but of course not all the time and it's sweet to me the way it is, to run over the field and capture zones, then a duell, then slash some minions, then a duell, then a 2vs1, etc
I just don't want boring duells all the time ;b
I want some variation of tasks!
What has this to do with dumbness or a lack in skill?

Just to remember: Dominion was the VERY FIRST game mode presented at the E3 in 2015!
That means it was the game concept, which Ubi wanted to plant in our minds and not duell or brawl or whatever!
Battles with soldiers and a battlefield was the basic idea which included 1vs1, but 1vs1 wasn't the basic idea of the game ... it was just a part and not the MAIN part

I like duells too, but not the thing I want to play for hours ... this game is not Tekken so what are you talking?!

Just shortly about environmental kills: They are part of the game. It is part of the skill to navigate your hero away from ledges or spikes and still kicking aces! Of course it makes me also angry to be kicked of a cliff, but I leave the fault on myself why I didn't see that coming instead of flaming around how skillless my opponnent is.
