    Nerfs vs player base shrinking

    this is a thread about the player base in for honor. in my opinion instead of you guys calling out people as cry babys maybe the cry babys are the ones trying to keep this game alive. would you rather play the same people over and over with over powerd heros or nerf them and have this game grow . if you really need a top tier to win then fine but the qulity of players will decrese. it makes no since for someone who only liked to play as raider to have to take so much damage from a peacekeeper (just an example) even raiders feints are so slow that in the middle of a raider feint she can stop everything with a light ect. but this thread is basically trying to get us all together to agree that the hero balance is off and that's what made the player base shrink so much . people tried to come to this fourm with ideas but you guys calling them babys is just not right

    Another nerf thread? Comparing how bad Raider is to the top tier? Maybe you should watch some competitive tournaments and see the havoc Raider causes. Is his playstyle legitimate? No but its effective and proves a greater point than top tier needing to be nerfed....

    Bugs and exploits need to be fixed ASAP and have full priority over any buffs/nerfs. Period. End of story. Fix the freaking game.

    Also, id rather see the lower tiers get buffed to the top tier, than to see top tier nerfed. Nerfs in this game will typically encourage more defense/turtles.

    I am waiting until season 2 start. If by that, def meta is still alive, feats not balanced, class not balanced, I will go play another game.

    all im saying guys is that we should come together and agree to do some balances between heros so we can see different people in match making ...ever since they nerfed revenge a lot of people left .yes I agree the connection is not the greatest but that was not the reason why people left.

    How many top 1v1 tournies have raiders won ? 0

    How many top 2v2 tournies have raiders won? 0

    Lucas won a crap 1v1 tourny with 0 credible entrants in it when the glitch first was used.

    Raiders unlocks arent a big deal 1v1 anymore now that everyone expects it. 2v2 nobushi unlock is far more effective.

    Connection issues is without a doubt why a lot of people left...I know, because I have taken a hiatus until the reason alone is fixed. I recently tried this weekend after the patch went through on console. I had some success, maybe a small improvement, but not enough to keep me playing.

    Balance sure is welcomed, but it wont make or break if I attempt to come back to this game. Balance means absolutely nothing if you cant start or finish the game in the first place.

    You sure they have not won any tournaments? I have seen Rustyrat multiple times in the finals and semi finals. Youre telling me people want to face him becasue raider is that bad? Maybe youre right, they havent won a tournament. Doesnt mean its not an effective class in its current state.

    Warden is OP according to 90% of the player base, yet I constantly see them get crushed.

    If you know where to find these tournaments online before theyve already happeneded, id appreciate knowing where. I just always happen to catch iSkys, Sypher, KingRichard, and a few others on twitch as they happen to be in one.

    youre mistaken if you think people are leaving the game because of nerfs. people are leaving because 3 months after release they still cant finish 9/10 games. the terrible matchmaking system with revenge being overpowered was also a reason, but the nerf for revenge came too little too late. character nerfs and buffs don't mean anything if the lobbys are one sided or youre getting booted from the game all the time
