PK's need to use more light attacks? | Forums

[Blasto95]

As a PK main, I play to win but I try and do as little cheap moves as possible unless my opponent is cheesing. With that said, the top 2 complaints about PK were ZA and Light Attacks. They nerfed ZA, great, fantastic. Everyone should be happy with that change, a step in the right direction. But then you nerf Dodge+Stab? What? Why? I never once heard a complaint about that move...

So ZA is gone, Dodge+stab got a nerf, and Light attacks remain unchanged...How else is PK supposed to play besides the occasional GB+Stab? Deflect+Stab? Nah id rather parry and punish. Raw heavies? I shouldnt even call that a suggestion. Looking at PKs right now...it seems Ubisoft wants us to light attack spam...

PK light attacks are fine. People who complain about them are straight up scrubs. I played many people who had no problem blocking them, and if you can't do that you can dodge or backout.

I don't think skewing the data is the best move here. We are interested to hear the feedback regarding the announced changes to peacekeeper and have been forwarding it to the team.

I guess you never played Raider or LB and experienced the slow stance change?

Slow stance change is a myth that's been debunked. What happens is you're screwing around with trying to fast-swap stances and it overwhelms the system, causing it to skip and ignore a stance change command.

Well, i play on console. When i have some Assassin orders now, i will play PK. And do nothing but light attacks. If this really wins me games (i cant play pk, don't know her moveset) .. ah well, judge for yourself

And it is not that i want to jumble some data. Her side attacks are like hell for my Nobushi. But her swift light spam on console is almost on par with it.

Ubi is clueless in regards to balance. Worst part is how long the patchs take.

It's not skewing the data he suggestes, it's STOPPING skewing the data... I myself HATE being Peacekeeper main but for me she really is the only character I can play and enjoy but what I do is I keep restricting myself. I don't use light attacks that much, I don't use ZA, I don't basically do anything that I think people will find cheap. I'm 100% sure my KDA/Win ratio/etc would be much higher if I never restricted myself.

I just wish I could use my character's abilities to their fullest without restricting myself at all and still not feel cheap and actually enjoy if I won the battle.

Thing is we can't win either way, I got a salty message from someone I bled to death saying cheap as ****. Peacekeeper needs some attention and then to keep her head low until people start complaining about others. I would take being slightly underpowered at this point even if it means a buff or reworking some of her moves is needed later.

Hm, don't know how it must feel to be a PK these days. Knowing the class you love is going to get some nerfs. And maybe, because possibly it is not "enough" yet, another set of nerfs might be incoming. Still, people might hate you just for playing this class since it is considered cheap.

And to be honest, i really hate to be matched against PK, more then against any other class. Not that warlord or conq are so much better. But warlord is rare, and conq .. i dunno, but i often manage to beat them. PK however, i meet them so often and in duel or brawl mode, i die like 90% of matches against her.
Though Valkyrie fast attack spam is hard to manage too, PK really beats this, and no matter how much i train, i don't seem to manage blocking her.
