    For Honor is Broken

    Let's take a minute so I can go through all the ******** For Honor has in it's game. Take note I have NEVER ranted about a game on their forums EVER. This game has tried my patience so much that it has made me go out of my way to make an account on here so these devs can maybe do something to fix their broken *** game.

    Conqueror:
    All anyone EVER does with this class is shield bash spam and heavy hit. SOME classes can some how get out of this, but for classes like mine (Lawbringer) it's impossible. I've tried everything. I've tried dodging, rolling away, blocking, GB, CGB(?). Everything. The only way out is when he runs out of stamina and by that time you're practically dead. There is no skill in this and no matter how much skill you have, you won't be able to get out. It's impossible.

    Valkyrie:
    Until I met the Valkyrie, I thought peacekeeper was the cheapest most abused character, until I started to come across a lot of Valkyries. This character is the cheapest, most abused, annoying character to face in the game, which makes it the most broken. All she does is shield bash (and if that doesn't work she'll GB, there's multiple ways), sweeps you off your feet, heavy hit, shield bash, heavy hit, shield bash, etc. Maybe you can get out on agile characters. I doubt it. But you can NOT get out on heavy characters. It's even more cheap than the Conqueror because she kills you before she runs out of stamina. It's cheap as hell. And as if that wasn't enough, she has lightning fast strikes that drop players in seconds. And as if THAT wasn't enough, she can ALSO sweep the fkn SHUGOKI off his feet with her little stick. HOW TF DO YOU SWEEP A 500 POUND MAN OFF HIS FEET LIKE THAT WITH A TINY STICK?! He's supposed to be the "unbashable" one or whatever but his demise can be from a tiny stick that can sweep him off his feet some how. This character needs a serious overhaul.

    Peacekeeper:
    This character is fine as long as you make her stamina run out more quickly and her bleed effect not do as much. She goes in for a relentless assault an it's over because she can just attack forever. You can retreat sorta easy, but it's a lot more difficult for heavy characters.

    Warlord:
    Nerf the damn headbutt. I had some guy today headbutt me all the way across the platform and off the ledge. You try getting out, you can't. You're stuck.

    And last but not least, the attack cancel function. All too much people go to do a move, then they cancel it, and they get a hit in because you have a millisecond to react. So people would abuse this. Kenseis do this and turn it into an unblockable overhead strike, then others like Valkyrie use this to sneak in a GB and to their never ending leg sweep heavy attack "combo". This needs to be fixed.

    Straying away from the characters, lets talk about that season pass. This game is $60 and you're charging people $40 for 6 characters, a sunbeam emote, and 30 day champion status. Please tell me how this is worth it? In RS:S, they give you a year long VIP status with 10% off everything in the store. You're charging WAY too much for too little content. RS:S brings 8 character, yearlong VIP status which means more renown and 10% off all store items and more for only $30. Your season pass is a huge scam.

    To wrap up this rant, I just want to say that I don't need people to reply to this saying that "you just suck at this game" or "you're not playing it right" or whatever. Obviously people who are active on here are just fanboys and they'll defend their precious game. If you're not like that though, that's great. Overall, this game needs to be fixed from cheap *** players who abuse the moves in this game.

    Posted this in another thread, pasting it here.

    OP start a 1v1 duel custom game against a level 3 bot of any of the classes you think are overpowered. Set it for 99 rounds. By the end of the duel you'll be so much better at countering these classes and maybe understand that they weren't overpowered, you just didn't have the patience to learn how to fight them effectively. It's a common problem and practice is the best solution.

    BTW, I'm not saying this game doesn't need balance tweaks, just saying that a lot of people are too quick to label something "imbalanced" when it's actually just "unfamiliar."

    My main is Lawbringer rep 2. Raider and Shugoki are pretty easy for me. Though they could be good and/or do cheap moves listed above that make them difficult. I switch between characters a lot though so I can learn and play every character.

    Well there's your problem. Unless you're really attached to him, then I suggest you try another class. Lawbringer is getting some buffs next balance patch, come back to him then.

    As a Conqueror main I ran into a Lawby the other day who absolutely wrecked me. I had to work my a$$ off just to drop him below half health and while Im not the best, I'm no slouch either. But by your logic I could have just rolled my face across my controller and beat him. This is not so, while some characters do need balance if you're good, you're good no matter who the opponent is.

    Or just stick with it, master it and when they buff it you will do even better!

    You know you can easily dodge Conq shield bash chain by double dodging backwards.

    i am a valkyrie main and some Lawbringer out there make me respect the law very well .It is true i don't abuse the speer sweep , first 8 prestige level sweeping was fun but not anymore i prefer to use her heavy attack cancel into side dash attack or a GB just like the OP call us out
    some shugoki really make me reconsider about my skill level
    as for the warlord and peacekeeper they are not that hard to beat ...they give you a lot of easy revenge by constantly attacking you if not spamming
    Conqueror doesnt have any feint or combo or any dash attack , leave him alone
    Kensei is a badass who will keep you on your toe until his last breath !

    I get beat by any other hero in this game , and other day i have a k.d ration of 10.00 . So to me every characters seems legit with theirs pro and cons
