Buff up don't nerf down. | Forums

Except her light attacks come so fast that a lot of players have trouble guarding it. And, she can also do it off her shield bash, which staggers and often prevents dodging the sweep.

Well if you can't block/parry her light attacks, that's not the games problem.

Yes it also comes after the shield bash as well, so if you don't dodge the shield bash, then you have to either dodge a sweep or counter a GB. It's a good mix up, but can be countered and punished.

It is the game's problem because they BUFFED her, she's faster at recovering and it makes her difficult to handle especially when she's being controlled by an experienced player. The fact that spam lord beginners are crushing experienced players with her is a good sign that she needs to be returned to her previous state or at least reduced from what she is now.

When looking at balance, we've been looking to assess both sides of the spectrum. We are definitely looking to give classes, like Lawbringer and Raider, the love they deserve, while also looking to tone down classes that the community believes are OP.

Please make PK unusable.... jk just make her r1s much slower because thats what people like to spam
It ticked me off that you guys decided to make her better than actually nerf her.... I'll even record a video and put it on youtube just to prove that PK is just spamming r1

Beliefs are misguiding.

Nerf the heroes, that are op - proven.

As for the warden. Yes the shoulder charge is stong but only, because the charges follow up, can be chained. The warden is only strong, because one ability can be vortexed. His over head light and zone attack are fast but either with a high recovery time or high stamina consumption. His heavies are too slow and very easily parried and his skillset is very simple and therefore easy to read.

Infinite attack and move chains need to be adjusted and two thirds of you problems are gone. Certain moves simply need an internal cool down - problem solved.

You're going to have a problem then.

The "OP" characters vary based on the hardware. For example, the berserker and peacekeeper are actually quite good on PS4 but is complete and utter garbage on PC. This is due to increased input delay on console hardware making their fastest attacks unreactable on one system, but blocked on reaction on others. Even if you offered a 60 FPS performance mode for consoles, the input delay would still affect it because input delay affects all current gen consoles heavily.

Meanwhile on PC, the "high tier" characters are the ones who can break through the "near perfect, no additional input delay ultra defensive" version of the game with things like warden shoulder, conqueror shield bash, warlord headbutt, etc.

So how are you going to deal with that? Offer two completely different versions of the game with different balance patches?

sadly there is no op heroes atm i can fight against every one of them no prob and i will get my *** handed to me by better players there is only bad loud players here in forums demanding for nerfs. i really hope this game doest take the same steps in "balancing" as destiny (nerfing everything to the ground)

Light attack spam doesn't work at high level btw.
