Orochi is the most popular, what is the reason? OP or just more fun | Forums

HI Guys,
Orochi is by far the most used character in for honor on Xbox. Each match has at least 2 of them. Now people tend to use the strongest characters because people like to win. Does this mean that orochi is op?

Orochi isn't the strongest.

On PS4 there are to many Lawbringers now.

It's just hype because of buffs, give it some more weeks and you will see only Shinobi and centurions.

Orochi is very weak and hard to use. The most seen hero for me is warden and close behind lawbringer. I imagine that all people that left his orochi main have recover it to test the new deflect. But it would be thing of a couple of days, nothing else

Never understood all the Orochi fandom either, he's not a fun class imo. Can't wait til I get it to Rep5 then never use it again.

Top Light or ZA from idle, yawn. Even with buffs, Parries are still better than deflects, more yawn.

Not enough there to keep me interested, though facing a good Orochi I do <3 due to most being fodder and I enjoy surprises.

Never found the Orochi to be a OP character, however I always thought him to be pretty fun to use in 4v4, perhaps it's the closest thing to ninjas we have in the current game (that's gonna change in a few days haha, but so far...). Just wait and you will see a ton of Shinobi running around the battlefield.

Coming from an LB main, I started picking up orochi not because he's OP (although his attacks are fairly hard to react to sometimes) but because the way you can play him is much more dynamic. Honestly, I just enjoy the deflect mechanic and orochi has the coolest (And, without a wall to throw someone into, the strongest) deflect. As soon as shinobi and centurion come out I will be dropping him in a heartbeat, but switching from a slower character to a fast one is enjoyable, and vice versa
