Hello Ubi,

If you wait 2-3 weeks before adjusting the kick , ull kill your own game , i spoke with quiet few shinobi and everyone agree he is strong as **** .
So please hotfix the class
Thanks

Instead of commenting on any of the other 46 Shinobi kick thread you make another.


Very good.


Thanks.

Why change it? If you time it right your heavy you can kill him during the kick...you can sidestep it....before the kick you can grab him out of it....so why change it? It is balanced...just because you don't want to put in the time to practice against it does not mean it should get nerfed...

U pro who can do all that make a video in a real fight and show us how u do it all , enough blah blah about everyone knows its op

Seeing as the heroes have been out for less than a week and they have yet to be given to non-season pass holders, it will take time before changes are made. We are aware that Shinobi's kick, among other things, is a problem for some players and we are looking into it closely.

Because no other character gets (or should have) a 400ms hyperarmor bash which confirms a heavy and is itself a 50/50

Lol dude you realize you can get grabbed right out of it easily. I see it happen and it happens to me if I use it too much. Plus it's easily dodged and then you can punish. Every assassin and Kensei can use their side step strike and hit you while they dodge it. Stfu and git gud. I nearly got 1 shot by a warden top heavy in revenge mode today in 4v4 cuz he was just switching targets spamming his heavy and zone. Hell the zone almost 1 shot me. He's high risk high reward. Lose your concentration for a second and you're dead.

yes we all know its annoying as ****. especially when people think they are so skilled ebcause they spam it. then do a ranged atk. I literally have run into rep 2 shinobi's who jsut double dodged unblock kick ranged pick of rinse and repeat and then **** talked that i was a scrub like seriously xD or how about the shinobi that sits behind a team mate and jsut ranged atks people thinking they are awesome and then **** talk too xD I chuckle at them, especially when I come crashing in like a wrecking ball and **** them with my cent. its a beautiful scene every time

Those are bad shinobi's obviously. However I do agree one wrong move against a centurion and you're dead, but that goes for just about any class. Shinobi cannot do much in situations where they're outnumbered except for back up and keep alternating ranged attacks or spam a few lights and back flip into a ranged but even then with too much pressure you'll be backed into a corner and hacked to pieces. You honestly cannot use the kick against any assassin or Kensei cuz they will sidestep strike you every time if they have half a brain. So you have to fake charge a heavy ranged into a kick to try and open them up but even then it's easy to read. Honestly the shinobi and the centurion in my opinion are pretty balanced. Only thing I wish shinobi had was a quicker disengage from the first two heavies of the sickle rain combo because if you're in a team fight and drop someone to their knees with the first two heavies it's almost always suicide to go for the 3 lights for the bleed but for some reason it takes him forever to remove the Sickles from his enemy. I feel the same about the centurion charged ub, takes way too long to remove your sword from impaling them.

You can grab the kick? When? During the kick animation or during the little second of a smoke animation?

Also punishable? How do you figure? xD You mean the side step attack. What about my lawbringer? What about raider? Exactly. Its not punishable except by those with a side step. You can't punish a 50 50. Same with a Warden 50/50.

You can "grab" it immediately after the first dodge, assuming the Shinobi is dumb enough to start it inside your GB range
Furthermore, dodge attacking a shinobi's kick attempt is completely unsafe and will make you eat a free gb if the Shin decides to block it instead of continue the kick.
