Let's be honest...I'm a button masher pure and simple. Without learning defense in this game, let's face it, I'm a win for you if you face me. That being said I am trying to get better defensively not only for myself but for whoever may be stuck with me in a dual or skirmish. However, meet me on the battlefield in a dominion game and I fair pretty well. Why? Well one reason is I have mastered my offensive sets, and two it's because Dominion is a different game altogether. There are strategies involved in Dominion that some people (even the best duelers) don't seem to get. Dominion to me (and others) is a race...a chaotic race against time and the other team. In my opinion, there is no time for honor. The way I play the game is to kill as fast as possible. Whether it be 1v1 or 3v1, it doesn't matter. Kill quick and move on. The game is about capturing A<B<C, holding them and making the other team break. Now don't get me wrong, if one of my team is facing off against another 1v1 and my guy is about to finish the other I stand next to them and let the fight go. If it looks like the fight is going the other way...I'm gankin...NO if's and's or but's. I know that many people's opinion that is not honorable, but this is not an honorable part of the game. It's win or go home. I want my points. A duel on the other hand is more of a gentlemen's game and I can see how people get upset at 3v1. Only problem is...That's life. Take your beating and move on. I have never quit any game, good or bad. I will however immediately dropout of a game if I see a guy running in circles. If that's what someone wants to do fine...but I'm out.
I also feel that the characters in this game were created for the different contests provided. Assassins are really good in dominion but not so good in a 1v1. Although I have seen some really good 1v1 players that use assassins. Heavy's are your down and dirty beat you up and down a duel all day long guys and hybrids do Ok in both. Maybe I'm wrong.
I know I know...Who cares what I think? No one probably, but I just wanted to share the opinion that maybe the disparities with the heroes was intentional with different types of players in mind when the game was created. I main a Kensei who is rep 4 with a 108. I'm not sorry for that, I earned every bit of that gear. I also have a PK, Orochi, and Nobushi all rep 3 but lower gear at the moment. (working on a Raider now) I love the fast heroes. However, after reading a lot of the discussions I do admit I feel bad rolling out some of my heroes at certain times. I understand that fixes need to be made across the board but...When this game is working properly it's so damn fun and addicting I can play for hours and never get bored. I sympathize with the players having issues (yes I have errors and drops too) but also agree that some of the problems are just players who haven't learned all of the skill sets yet of their own hero or the one they are going against. I myself have a hell of a time trying to parry. Everything doesn't need to be nerf'd. Did I mention I stink? However I won't stink forever given all the time I put in. I know I'm ramblin' now and my two cents feels like a buck and a half but I just wanted to throw this out there for those of those who may feel like me. I'm not writing this to get a rise out of anyone but I understand this will piss some people off. I just hope UBI gets their stuff together so we can all have the experience that we ALL expected to have when we bought the game. Thanks for reading this. I don't really have a point but if you agree or disagree with any of this rant away. C'ya on the battlefield!!! But if you don't see me...You just got gank'd.
