Raider buff; is it really needed? | Forums

[Lyskir]

I disagree. He's not a bad character at all, he has plenty of mix ups and free hits.

Kensei does NOT need a buff.
I main kensei and he's one of the lower performing characters, but he's still a monster when used properly. Same with orochi.

Nobushi? Ha. Nobushi needs a nerf if anything. Ridiculously overpowered zone attack, lightning quick attacks, again she's a tank when used properly.

Nobushi overpowerd? ........wow... ok i have to say goodbye

Bye then.

Is it needed ? No.

Like every buffs nerfs they have done until now.

There is a major problem, which is the defensive meta.

So first you fix the turtling THEN youbuffs and nerfs each charater. What they are doing is the exact opposite, they are nerfing classes with a meta still top health, they are adding MORE characters, and then they probably will nerf the turtling.

That will be cancer because they will face the fact some classes will become useless again because another kind of meta will rise.

Can soft feint every light into a stunning tap, every heavy like other characters, can feint unblockable. That's every move.

There's no point in discussing which moves of his aren't good, because you could argue 5/12 of the current characters have useless moves and they are STILL viable in the game.

Yeah, he's lower tier. Because other characters are better. No one is denying that. But is that reason enough to give him all these buffs? If they keep buffing everyone who's 'lower tier' then what happens when everyone's extremely good? Buff the top tier ones?

I think he needed a small buff. But what he's getting is waaay too much, like lawbringer.

Take kensei. He was alright, not terrible but not amazing. He needed a SMALL buff, so they did that. Where would you put him now in relation to the others, because I main him and I can slaughter everyone bar good peacekeepers. It's all relative is what I'm saying, just because not everyone is amazing with raider does not mean he needs a huge buff.

I have a 97% win duel ratio with him,

I wish they would add disconnect rates to stats. I'm sure ubi could easily implement this feature

Just because you're good with a character doesn't make it OP. If you have trouble facing Nobushi, that's your personal weakness. If you're good with Raider, that's your personal strength

[Mudflaaaps]

Me too, then mine would look better compared to everyone else's.

Damn you sound like you may be the best raider in the world with a 97% win rate.

You should really enter a tournament this weekend with you raider. Make a few hundred bucks redesign the meta of FH. Easy peazy amirite?

That's exactly my point!
Everyone plays differently, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Raider CAN be used extremely well, but because he isn't easily mastered like peacekeeper for example, people cry and he gets buffed.

Also worth noting that just because some characters are better for pro playing (because they're better turtlers), doesn't mean EVERY character that isn't is weak and needs a buff.

Especially if you are planning to fix the current meta. But then they are adding another turtle character
