    Save For Honor! Nerf the Warden. Petition to Ubisoft included.

    Hello, I believe a major game imbalance exists in the vanguard classes for the factions. You have the warden as the vanguard for the knights, the raider as the vanguard for the vikings and the kensei as the vanguard for the samurai. All in all, the warden is the only one who is viable to play and in a duel(1v1) of equal player skill, the warden will win 9 times out of 10. I believe in a world where every vanguard can have a fair chance to win and I'm doing something about it instead of just talking about it. I'm starting a petition to ubisoft to change the game and let the warden get his nerf so the other classes can be viable. Alternatively, I am proposing the other vanguards: Raider and kensei get their buffs so they can be on the same level as the warden and thus win more 1v1's. Please sign this petition if you agree and bring game balance back to for honor. Let's make for honor great again! Sign the petition so the game can live and players will stop leaving. All my friends quit because they said the warden was too imbalanced and they couldn't play their favorite vanguard anymore.

    you're calling for a buff two raider and kensei and a nerf to warden at the same time

    calling for a nerf and a buff to the vanguard class.... at the same time

    calling for a nerf to one aspect of a category

    and then calling for a buff to the other aspects of said category

    i will sign this petition if you can convince me you know anything at all about how to balance anything

    because on the list of "stuff to never ever for the love of all you hold dear and sacred please never do" when looking at solutions for an imbalance, "buff and nerf in relation to one another at the same time" is probably #1

    ::edit::

    also, 100 signatures to change a game with 10k players on PC alone as of this edit?

    that's 1% of all players on steam

    not counting PS4 and xBox players

    how is anyone supposed to take that seriously?

    I believe the other Vanguards need a buff instead of nerfing the Warden. Ive played to Rep 3 with Warden. And frankly i get more enjoyment from the Raider and Kensei. The reason the Warden is so highly regarded is he has a bit of everything. In my experience I find the Kensei much more useful and adept at taking out assassins however he really doesn't have any option to crack open a turtle. The Raider Ive found most useful for getting through defenses but not very easy to use against faster characters. The Warden can crack a turtle with his vortex and poke an assassin with his zone and overhead lights. Warden is ok where he is and not overly strong in any department just he can do both so I am in favor of the other Vanguards receiving some much needed attention.

    I'm not saying I'm a major balance designer. That being said, it's blatantly obvious something isn't right when you compare the "vanguard" class. I'm not talking about just with each other in a 1v1, but from playing the vanguard versus other classes. This is coming from someone with experience of playing them all. I am not saying buff the others and nerf the warden, I did say "ALTERNATIVELY." It means one or the other. Finally, I did not choose the total signatures--it chose for itself on the petition. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere to increase it, or perhaps once it is reached it will increase.

    fair enough, on all points

    apologies for the snark

    People crying like 5 year olds over Wardens, but they aren't even the strongest of the top characters.

    just because other classes have balance issues doesn't mean balance issues don't exist in your main

    ::edit::

    and there really isn't much crying in this thread so far

    just a suggestion that the either the other two vanguards are brought up to warden level, or the warden is brought down to their level for the sake of balance among vanguards

    i think the wise choice should be a buff to the other classes i dont really dislike the tool of actions the warden has, just the problem that the others dont have it and they should have it.

    We should never make "League of legends balance" (the worst in game industry) nerfing everything into oblivion, just add more tools that can be used by another characters to overcome warden different mixups (they are many)
