Kenseİ must get a buff | Forums

[Warbyte-]

İ have got a rep 9 Kensei and i love the hero but most of the time he feels in a disadvantage against other heroes.With low level players he is great.But when it comes to high levels...the kensei can get parried to death in 3-4 heavy attacks.his attacks are slow and predictable most of the time,the combos are slow and easily parried and of course consumes a lot of stamina.the faints work mostly 1 out of 5 in veteran players and the damage is not that good for the risk.mostly i try to use light attacks on 1v1 and when outnumbered its difficult to counter all of them with the slow attacks.mostly i have to rely on walls to do any decent damage but the grab is so easily countered.The warden wich has nothing to do with grab hits has a better grabing tool ,the shoulder bash,which in my opinion wasnt nerfed at all.Ubisoft please do something about Kensei.All the other heroes are like İron Man,Thor,Hulk or Captain America while the Kensei feels more like Agent Phill Coulson

The Kensei is far from underpowered. He is very usable in the end-game crowd and his attacks are not predictable if you know what you're doing. His attacks are fast.

Friendly advice: You should practice more.

Rep 7 Kensei, kensei really doesn't need a buff his game is all about feinting and tricking your opponent. I'll be it his moves are generally very easy to read but that's where the head games come into play. I play on Xbox one and am loving the new kensei. Although I would like it if he could string his side heavy or top heavy after the side slash light attack. What I mean is if you side step light then hit light again you cannot do a side heavy or top heavy. Not complaining here what so ever about him. I can win most matches except against a conq his deffense is most impressive.

Again a perfect example of someone who doesn't know how a class plays and makes a thread about buffing.

Kensei is one of the most powerful classes out there, OP against heavies. He can feint unblockable super late, which means if somebody tries to parry it Kensei can just feint it and switch to side attack = guaranteed hit. Kensei can also spam side step side attack which is cancer for slower classes. Player who knows how to exploit Kensei can take out good Lawbringer without even getting hit easily.

Kensei basically is Orochi on steroids.

Well you are just simply wrong. Go play the game more and do your research on the matter, no point of discussing about this with you until you have.

First off all its ridiculous that a Vanguard type hero has gameplay based on faints and tricks,everyone can faint but nobody uses this as a playstyle.Kensei shouldnt be a vanguard then,an assasin or hybrid would make sense based on what you say.My point is that why do i have to rely on faints and stuff while other vanguards use faint optional,the warden has vortex,the raider charged heavy and hugging throw....And comparingly kensei has the slowest kill time of all 3.by the time you do damage bit by bit by fainting and trying to get a full combo,either the enemy has parried you to death or someone from his team comes to finish you off.

He needs an opener they should remove his last buff an just give him a opener like the other vanguards

WARBYTE these guys suck lol Im sure they don't vs in high level play.

Its ridiculous that at high level play I have to faint 3x just to get in a light attack only to get force bushed once and see my stam fall to.
