    I understand the problem of actual Parry mech, and why it to easy !

    So to the deal.
    The reason why parry is to easy in For Honor - its because if u press it to late - ul not getting punish for actually frong attemt/timing.
    Player can just press Parry - already at the end, and if he dont hit timing - the attack willl be just blocked. So all this mean - that u cant getting punished for Parry attemt, but CAN get reworded.
    All this situation is goes from the mechanic that working in for honor parry, for example:

    Attack time:
    1%(attack start)............50%..............100%(attack lands)......... - parry works in 50-100 period in For Honor. And can only goes wrong if u try to parry to early,( from 1 to 50) But if u press parry after 100 for example - attack will be just BLOCKED. And all this mean, that u must always try to parry like from 90-100, 80-100 and u will be ALL TIME REWARDED, and there is even no any chance for some punish for u if u do it wrong! And it shuldnt be working such way ! Also this means that u must try to parry EVERY SINGLE HIT ! And even if u dont parry succesfull - u dont getting punished.

    For example lets look at Dark-souls parry mech window :

    1%.................40%.........60%................ ...100% - in Darksuls to parry succesfull u must hit the timing of Parry window from 40 to 60% of attack time, And if u missed in ANY direction - u will eat a hit with your face. Do u understand what i mean ?!
    U just can spam parry for en every hit, and u must chose timings visely... because u will be punished for damage for every single wrong attempt.

    So this is all deal of For Honor deffencive meta, affraiding players to attack, and all other porblems. Parry is always en reward but never punish, if u will try to do it from 80 to 100% timing... and if u misses - u just go block, but dont take any hits or damage. GG

    Don't use dark souls examples. This game is utter broken.

    I have to disagree with this post in its entirety, you can be punished retroactively for trying to parry late, if your parrying so late as to just block it there is really no chance that its going to get parried that being said chip damage needs to happen and soon
