Raider isn't an issue, same with Lawbringer. Yes, they can carry you quite far, but it's not much of an issue as they can only do it in one direction. This gives the player some breathing room as they only need to watch their back. Warlord does not, he has a stupidly huge throw distance in any direction.

Warlord gets a lot of hate yes, but it's completely deserved. He is straight up broken, and so overpowered compared to the other heroes it's not even funny. He has no downsides. You'll see Warlord mains trying to defend him by saying he has poor range or whatever, when that's not even an issue. Range in this game hardly makes a difference. The devs for whatever reason, seem to think he's 'fine'. They also think it's acceptable to get a free GB when blocking Kensei's Swift Strike which is ridiculous. They didn't want Kensei to 'spam it' lol, but a Warden spamming their 50/50 Shoulder Bash is totally okay with them. The balancing in this game is a ****ing joke!

I just don't see the point in *****ing about a specific character being 'over powered'. If you know what the character's strengths are and what they are going to use against you then avoid it. If you know he is going to throw you off and you're worried about it then hit the button they made to counter it. Plain and simple.

If you KNOW they are going to use it against you then adapt.

I hated getting stuck in the Valkyrie sweep loop, so I figured out how to dodge it. Plain and simple.

One day we'll log in and find out that we have to fight with a bokken instead of nodachi. For balance sake ofc.

Reminds me of this thing


Kinda Kensei's kit in a nutshell.

Or they could speed up his second light (stab to the face). It looks like it should be fast but it gets blocked like 90% of the time and occasionally parried. I don't think I've ever been hit by it. And I play on Xbox. Or they could just speed up his side lights by a lot, maybe make him use his hilt like the raider.

And they should also speed up swift strike to the point where people can't block it even when you use it to dodge one of their attacks. Keep it unsafe on block but at least let it do what it was designed to do.

I just watched the latest devstream and it looks they don't give af about kensei. How can you be concerned that a kensei might spam swift strike but you think warlord is fine? That makes no sense. This is a good game but I keep thinking a better team could have made a great game. While I'm *****ing I also want to say that they seem to give zero ****s about consoles. They need to realize this game is going to be bigger on consoles than on PC for the foreseeable future and act accordingly.

On a serious note I would like to leave this thread here. It would be nice to get an upvote and suggestions from fellow Kensei players and attention from the devs.
Maybe someone would like even to put aside that crappy data that tells him about Orochi's awesome wallsplats and such kind of BS and listen to the actual community.
