I love this game and I hate it at the same time right now because there is no team modes that are a fair fight. What this game needs is a competitive ranked mode that has GEAR AND FEATS DISABLED. Currently you get the most XP from playing in 4v4 matches and what it leads to is you getting your *** kicked because the other teams players spend time playing with only one character, they have a high rep and a maxed gear rank. That is a big problem because If I want to try a new character (which is often, I don't tie myself down to one) I cant play with my friends because the other team can beat me by smacking me a couple of light attacks or get revenge as soon as I come into contact with them because their gear is so good. Where as I actually learn my characters combos and moves and try to fight honorably and think I will get a fair fight, instead the For Honor community has became a bunch of cowards only fighting in areas where an environmental kill is possible or have their gear so high that they get revenge after 5 seconds of 1v1. It is unfair and I think players who wish to play the game the way I believe Ubisoft intended it to be played should not be tossed aside. Hence why I call for a ranked mode with no feats or gear stats, then it is just two teams and their skill.
They can call it Christmas mode for all
I care - but the feats suck and I don't want them in any game mode. Many of them are broken as hell and just disrupts any decent fights you could have had. The skill involved in using them is also absolutely nil. I'd play a dominion/elimination/skirmish mode without feats and gear.
