    Those pesky Captains!

    For the guys that play a lot of Skirmish can relate I'm sure, not asking to remove them or nerf them I just have to vent a little.

    She nice the new patch they seem a lot more aggressive and respawn quicker, idk it might just be me. These captains they have ruined sudden deaths, interrupted execution that were vital to recover health, and they can GB lol I mean wow these guys are pests! I've had a lot of close matches and then out of nowhere GB! Yeah I could be aware of my surroundings more but it's pretty tough facing multiple enemies since I have to keep a close eye on my indicator and watch for sneaky GBs. They've cost me a lot of victories but oh well.

    Anyone else lose a game/fight from these Caps'?

    They made all of the AI much more aggressive a while back. Level 2 Bots became the new Level 3, Captains now play better than some players and even the minions are more aggressive and obstruct you more. Let's face it, Captains used to be something you could just ignore, now you really should deal with them rather than ignoring them, so it's a good change imho. According to For Honor Tracker I am in the top 0.1% for Captain kills, there's your solution, kill em, kill em all!

    I like that they made the bots a little bit better .Was to easy to kill the, .Didnt even need to block just spam heavys and dogde here and there. If you have problems with the bots in the game after playing it for months i feel somewhat sad for u

    I think that stat is broken, I'm apparently in the top 0.1% as well, same with my buddy who plays. My captain kills is identical to my bot kills, so I think something's wrong there.

    Hmm true, how many Captain kills do you actually have? Mine says 433 ... if we all have 433 then something is off ... lol

    They are the most annoying things in skirmish, how about getting ganked 4v1 let alone 2 captains joining in dealing the same damage as a player.
