This game is so unbalanced, it feels like a bad joke | Forums

Small rant, but I need to get it out..

So it goes like this:
Find a character you enjoy that fits your playstyle. Learn all his/her moves and have a great time battling others. Meet an equally skilled player who's using Warden, Warlord or Shugoki. Die miserably with no chance of winning.

This balance is a bad joke. If you don't use any of the so called S tiers, you won't stand a fricken chance vs anyone at your own skill level. Even the tourneys show this, so I ain't lying.

Also, the lack of information from the devs + the lack of forum moderators just makes this game seem like an indie game, even though it costs a ****load of money. I am SO confused as to why they fail to balance the characters evenly. A lot of players have come up with really good balance ideas in just a few weeks, but the devs still don't respond to anything.

I feel like I'm on the receiving end of a bad joke

Idk who you play but i have no trouble fighting any of them. Just gotta get good and memorize their moves.

Not my experience, but then I don't live in the world of Duels, which I guess is what you are referring to only?
Just for reference, the 1 vs 1 Duel mode has had the lowest activity level since the game came out, Dominion the highest.
Maybe some classes are easier in 1 vs 1 than others, maybe some are the rock to another classes scissors, but they all die the same
when you kick them off a ledge

Lawbringer atm, but a subpar class will get beaten up by an equally skilled player, who's using a higher tier class. They just have too many tools, which is unfair IMO.

then you dont play top tier sir, dont watch tourneys, dont listen to pros/streamers talking about game&class balance... you are a noob taking his first steps thinking that this game is skillbased.. but is classbased.. sad but true. already a huge ton of the playerbase quit .. sure the extremely unbalanced game is not the only reason but ye.. this is the topic of this thread

^this guy gets it.

Well, maybe because it never was planned to be balanced. Why people think it shouls be? It was never stated in any promotional material, trailer, gameplay preview.... This game balance is basically rock/paper/scissors.

Hey Klaziknadi, we are aware that class balance is an important topic of discussion in the community and we have been forwarding all constructive feedback to the team. While there's not much we can talk about in terms of the specific changes that will be coming in regards to class balance, one of the best ways to hear more is to watch our weekly livestream. We regularly bring on the devs to discuss important topics in the community. Other than that, specifics in regards to balance changes will be detailed in our patch notes as they become available.

What does his experience of who he can or cannot beat in the game have to do with what people are doing in tourneys or talking about on their livestreams. Are you one of those people who worships the ground that YouTubers walk on? Streamers are so pro? Why exactly? Because they have recording software and a mic? Don't idolize people who make a living out of playing games just because they're on your screen. They are just gamers. Remove your head from their backsides and stop following their every word like they are quoting lines from the bible. If YOU are having trouble, then maybe you are the noob, but I for one don't give a rats *** what some 'pro' streamer says, he still presses the same buttons as I do.

I just fail to see why they could buff Valk ( which was needed) but not change guard speed or just SOMETHING for some of the other classes.
