Centurion most ridiculous class ever | Forums

[kbvlcvfkhgc]

The Centurion on his own i.e just one of them is manageable but that's now where the issue lies, the problem with the Centurion is in Group matches, his introduction has completely unbalanced the team play dynamic, its basically the team with the most Centurion Gank squads that wins, simple as that, it has nothing to do with skill or "Gitting Gud", if your getting ganked by 2 or more Centurions then your done, You cant block, Revenge wont make any difference, skill is utterly irrelevant, unless your one of the fast classes and can runaway before you are disabled (which wont win you any games) then your toast, its just the continuous spam, UB Kick , UB jab, fall down leaping stab, your powerless to respond, the screen grays out, your stunned with no stamina, your just along for the ride as they take turns spamming their unblockables, no other character completely and utterly negates blocking and renders the revenge mechanic completely useless in such a way,

Maybe that was the intention that Ubisoft had in mind?, remember all those videos doing the rounds of people triggering revenge and beating whole teams? do any of those exist where the player is being treated to the Centurion Gankfest?

if Ubisoft fail to find a way to balance this Character in group match settings then the Centurion will continue to proliferate and it s soon going to be Team Centurion vs Team Centurion only, after all the long list of patches buffing and nerfing original characters with the stated aim of balancing the game, the introduction of the Centurion and to a lesser extent the Shinobi seems like a very strange tactic?

You can't afford any mistakes against a Cent, once he's got you, he brings your health down to a sliver and no stamina left, and then he gets to do it all over again. That, in general, is the bit that makes him OP in regards to the other classes.

"Just dodge"? Well, that's nice, he gets a legitimate softfeint into GB, and the time to differentiate between parry, dodge or cgb is ridiculously small. Besides, there are only a few characters with a dodge-attack that actually dodges the attack and cannot be GB'ed. For the rest it's a guessing game, and if I guess wrong, well, see above.

"Git gud"? Sure, but how is it balanced that if I mess up once, I'm near death, and if he messes up he loses at most one bar?

I'm a reasonably aggressive player, but I have to turtle against Centurions and to a lesser extent Shinobi's. How's that working out to beat the defensive meta?

I fully realize he's a new character and I need time and practice to learn to counter him, but these two new characters have stuff in their kit that far outstrips what any of the other classes are able to counter at the moment. So either EVERYONE ELSE needs to be buffed, or they need to be taken down a notch or two.

Centurio is pure cancer... im not calling him OP.. he is just a f**king bug.

Reasons:

1. He is the only Hero who gives a f**k about your Revenge Mode (each Punch / each Pin attack they dont care at all)

2. His attacks track like a god damn Heatseeker Rocket

3. He is the ONLY Hero ingame who can use Heavy attacks in 3 different timings.. (short / hold 1 sec / and full charged unblockable)

4. The parry timing for his unblockable heavy is complet different from each other Hero so most of the time you will parry to early cuz your Brain takes the information from other Heros.

5. His Stamina Dmg is a joke.. he can use like 3-4 combos in a row without getting exhausted while your Stamina is already gone after 1 of his combos. (If the Combo starts with a parry)

6. His Phalanx Feat is OP (if there is more then 1 Cent with it)

7. His Pin attacks allow him to follow up with more attacks with no chance to avoid them (no risk / godlike reward)


this is not about "get gud" ofc you can doge all of his attacks.. (even if you cant punish him for them cuz you can use a heavy attack as combo follow up after a missed kick *yay*) this is about fix that f**king noob char i dont say NERF i say FIX.. if you wanna break the Defensiv Meta with new Heros like Cent and Shinobi the question should be:

Why should anyone play all the other Heros who dont have such broken Kits?
(for examlple: look Dominion... Centurio is the new Meta.. for a reason!!)

You make a good point on parrying his heavies, since there is no consistent amount of time between his hit and the parry you most of the time parry way too early. The oly other character that can do something similar is Shugoki but his lack of speed balances that out.

And he absolutely is a heat seeking missile. I mean look at these clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-3-KffN-cY https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/co...tq/just_dodge/

It's like fighting Kratos
