POOL - Did the new DLC made the game MORE fun or LESS fun? | Forums

[buhahh125]

IM KRUNKKKKK BEEECHES! That's how I feel about a poll that is asking for an opinion from everyone when there is a huge portion of the population has not even had the chance to try the new DLC but think they can form an opinion because they died to a character from there.

I think the centurion fits really well in the meta
he really is an outstanding character with many mixups that may be very strong, but also punishable.

Now to the shinobis....
I don't have many problems fighting them, but i think it's just boring,
because you actually have to turtle while dodging kicks and spamming guardbreaks.

You can't really do any mixups on them because the keep vanishing, keeping their distance.
the most useful strategie to fight against them is to catch them when they vanish.
I'm just tired of always running after the shinobi trying to land an attack

In my opinion the shinobi needs a rework on the moveset to make him less mortal combat like.

Less fun to me. New characters seem to be playing a whole diferent game from the rest of us. Also the matchmaking off is still broken when you want to play with your friends. Ah, and don't forget the region lock crap, that just killed multiplayer to many players.

less.

It's all just personal opinion, but shinobi needs to go back to mortal kombat (not even making a scorpion comparison) and the centurion is nothing like an actual roman centurion.
I know this game plays loose with several of the warrior archetypes we have to choose from, but these new characters would seem more at home in some highly stylized fantasy fighting game.
Shoehorning in these characters cheapens the game a bit imo.

amen

the Centurion does not fit in the current meta. he is just immune to the current meta, but reinforces the turtle meta for everyone else. as you can let him hit you, or god forbid parry you.

and thats the thing if the Centurion wants to be, he is the best turtle in the game, his punishes are brutal.

The simple fix for all of this crap is to is to make revenge mode immune to CC/UB. For example, if I activated revenge and my opponent shoulder bashes me, I won't be knocked back or stunned.

It's somewhat of a buff to revenge mode, but since it has been nerfed it's hardly an issue. Revenge can then act as the escape tool the developers intended it to be.

That's the best idea I saw so far for 4v4 modes without interfere in the Duel.

Ubisoft should do a patch with this for tomorrow.

Less fun...
Too much Cancerion each time, toooo boring

Right now fights again the new characters are fast paced which is something I like and I'm doing relatively decent against them one at a time but more than one is really bad. We are not supposed to win a 4v1 or 3v1 but even a 2v1 is getting really bad with 2 Centurion spamming unblockables on you. I know that Warden, Warlord, Shugoki, Lawbringer, Valkyrie can disable you but fighting 2 of them at the same time is not that bad because with skill you can avoid them better and you got a chance if you use revenge wisely, but when fighting two Centurion at a time feels like you can't even move and revenge doesn't do ****.
I think that the new characters are not that bad in 1v1 but 1v 2,3,4 is too much.

i ment that he fits well in a more aggressive meta forgot to say that

My problem with the new characters are that they ignore existed rules.

(Tested with Berserker against Shinobi kick and Shugoki against Centurio stab- did NOT test the other chars with hyper armor)
E.g. Hyperarmor: The Shinobi kick and the Centurio heavy attack completly bypass hyper armor. In the case of the Centurio you get the "stab" cinematic and a punch to the face.
A Berserker should be able to punish the Centurio and Shinobi if they attack in the combo.
A Shugoki should be able to trade if he has hyper armor.
A Warden should be able to shoulder push his opponent.
A Warlord should be able to trade.

And for 2vs1: i would rather fight against 2 Shugoki than 2 Shinobis/Centurios

Shinobi and Centurio have to much CC.

The Shinobi has the slide (Charge of the Oni) and the heavy attack that forces the opponent on his knees( mini Demon's Embrace) and his kick (Shoulder Bash/ Kick/ Shield Bash)

The Centurio has the punch and the kick.

One of the easier knockdown is the Valkyrie Spear Sweep but it has a major drawback - you also knockdown your teammates. The Centurio has no drawback for his CC in a teamfight.

And i think the Shinobi is too flashy for this game. The Shinobi shouldn´t be able to teleport(deflect) nehind someone. All the characters were somewhat realistic in their fighting style but the Shinobi is to much fantasy. I fear that the next character is a Highlander that is able to shoot fireballs if he lifts his skirt and i don´t want that(even if it sounds awesome)for this game.
