Lawbringer here.
I don't think Orochi's are genuinely overpowered, but they are easy to use, have VERY quick attacks (compounded by high damage), can dash/dodge quickly, and have that completely BS GB-into-heavy that is unavoidable if you miss the CGB. I believe that is why many play the Orochi. He's simply easy and hella strong and definitely needs some attention in terms of balance. It's tough to defeat them 1v1 as a LB due to my slow guard changes and attack speed. They seem to just dodge backward or left/right all day, every day. And when you do hit them they just run away like a 6 y.o. girl that scraped her knee.
With all that said, I was in a game last night against 3 Orochi and 1 PK. Game. Over.

I like the class style, and look... but I am absolutely trash with it. I have tried a few times. I need more practice.
Till then, I will keep playing my underrated class that I chose only because I liked the style... Sure, some folks play a character because "OMG! THIS ONE IS OP! EVERYONE SAYS SO!!" and there are those that pick a class because they like it for whatever reason.
And they are killable... They certainly are not my least favorite class to see on the match up screen anyway... and fortunately my "plague class" isn't picked very often.

All I play is Orochi, and I can tell you that, while we have the tools to dance around the battlefield and constantly do damage, we're easily countered by guard breaks and parries. Learn to do those, especially guard breaks because:Originally Posted by CarnivalLaw Go to original post

Agreed with the first post, to his point, a lot of people are Orochi. As far as OP, nah just a good class.
I am a peacekeeper and I would say the K/D on good Orochi players are about 50/50. Bad one's run the same combo's in which I parry. I hate when the run away but the cant dodge the peacekeepers lunge.
Last thing i will say, when its 2v1 orochi's, its game over for me

When they dodge all day, parry and/or grab them. It's that simple. NONE of Orochi's attacks are unblockable. And since "Guardbreak Counter (All Heroes):Originally Posted by tweak1668 Go to original post

I believe you're misusing the term "easy" here. Are they easy in a sense that it's easy to defeat your opponent when he doesn't know what to do against you? Yes, but every single class can easily defeat a clueless opponent. Are they easy in a sense that their decision-making in combat is straightforward and they just follow a small number of simple patterns? No, couldn't have been more wrong.
