    Enough with the samurai

    You guys seriously have to nerf every single samurai. They are waaaaay too quick and hit waaay too hard. It is not fair. It makes it look like you guys are favoring the samurai, and it isn't fair for us who play as Vikings and Knights. 90% of the people play as the samurai because they know they are extremely OP. Make this game fun and balance it, seriously.

    None of the Weebs are particular op in my opinion,

    My main advice for you would be to learn how to counter^^

    Kensei - Parry his heavies/ third unblockable/sideswipe feint and be carefull of the fast sidestep pokes,

    Shugok - Just be aggressive and try and punish him as much as possible, also Counter Gb is good against him

    Orochi - Feint a attack so he side steps block that into a free Gb, and CounterGb else you will be hit for a quite brutal top heavy

    Nobushi - Block is your friend, and punish her heavies with a parry


    Should be said i main a valkyrie, and only Kensei is my main problem in most cases,

    Punishing heavies is not the problem.

    The very fast light attacks are mire of the issue here. The shugoki is simply too durable and forgiving.

    The kensai and nobushi are problematic, because if their very strong and fast light combos.

    I agree, samurai, from the beginning, even alpha, have become just plain stupid. It doesnt take much skill, but really skilled players are near impossible to beat, most of them just spam the same moves and gb. I have not seen a single game without a samurai character in 4v4 but I have seen games without vikings, and actually alot of games without knights (hint hint).
    It's turning into for samurais. Not for honor. I've seen many players actually change their mains to samurai, simply because they are all on a level way above other characters, no matter skill level. I main a warlord and am a viking, but I am actually starting to think of maining shugoki, just because how broken he is. Shugoki is simply a trolls dream, not muchskill required, but every bit of pissing off other players. It's not fun going against a team of entirely samurai, on both sides... I find it.. sad honestly.Oh and you can say all you want for skill, but I'm a really decent player, and I get my behind kicked by truly only cheap moves, being surrounded, and samurai. I think if you want a truly balanced game, maybe not nerf samurai (except shugoki, like I said, I'm thinking of maining him after destroying with him so easily. Yes honestly broken af, ya ya, slow but one wrong move and you can be doomed. Or he can just troll on a bridge) every player I've talked to, of all skills, agree, samurai are ridiculous. Even samurai players, I have three orochi main friends.. And they all agree its just a bit stupid how strong they are. But maybe nerfing isnt the answer, but buffing others would be. It's not truly balanced when samurai are what everyone and their grandma is playing. I honestly think knights need the largest buff in general. Maybe not all of them, but I wanna see them on the battlefield more, and less of samurai. Because again, I see at least one samurai every game, usually one on each side, if not majority of the lobby. I just wanna see a balanced fun game for everyone, not a game of trolling and exploiting, which it has become very much so.

    Maybe if not only Nobushi would apply bleeding. I mean, we are talking about weapons that cut and stab, that's what everyone uses (even the fat samurai because his baseball club is spiked).

    Have to agree that the Shugoki could use a tweak, the current meta is a turtle game, so when an aggressive class like the Shugoki tries to break free of that meta, nothing good comes out of it.

    My main concern is just that to many Shugoki players think that hes a tank when he is not,
