Centurian is HILARIOUSLY bad against Assassins or anyone with a dodge attack lol | Forums

[CoyoteXStarrk]

I am a Beserker main so at first I thought me wrecking Centurians in the beginning of the season was just idiots not knowing how to play the hero, but now that the Centurian is available to everyone and the season pass people are reaching Rep 2 and 3 but STILL getting friggin destroyed by assassins and dodge attacks.


Literally ANYONE with a dodge attack can easily pick apart the Centurion due to the fact his kick and Heavies are so telegraphed. His ONLY prayer is that he lands his combo so he can chunk you for a portion of your health, but beyond that he is SO screwed against fast opponents. Also don't give me that "His Charged heavy heat seeks bro" I have REGULARLY avoided it with my Beserker with a double dodge.


It also doesn't help him that all of his damage comes from the same exact combo.


- Kick that can be easily dodged

- Heavy that can be parried

- Jab

- Jump stab

- The animation lets the person get back up


You have to screw up 2 times in a row and if you do yeah you are gonna get chunked, but unless you are a Shinobi or in a 2v1 you get back up and you get a chance to fight back. I did my best to wait and I waited for people to learn him, but his is SEVERELY screwed if people have a dodge attack and/or can parry his heavies. I know people will come in here and cry and complain that he is OP, but he gets picked apart by ANYBODY that can parry properly and/or has a dodge attack.


I noticed this early on, but I wanted to wait awhile before I passed judgement because I thought SURELY that I was missing something and that people were just bad with him, but he just plain gets wrecked by dodge attack capable heroes and its not even funny.



He still wrecks slower and turtle like heroes, but other than that mobile heroes are his kryptonite.

This.

Plus, i swear that a competent tank is also almost impossible to kill with cent :

- The openers don't work vs a shugoki thanks to his armor : how many times i took a heavy because i tried to combo a kick or a heavy on a shugoki...

- Fighting a conq is laughably disavantageous, basically, your whole gameplay rely on kicks and heavyes and he have auto-GB if he block heavyes + dodge - shield bash against kicks / GB. So you're stuck with your lights that does the dmg of a mosquito

- Warlords are more ok, but it's stll a hard matchup if they know their ****

- LB, same thing, it's a "ok" matchup but their free shove on blocked hit is painful for combos

Ofc, i'm speaking about good players knowing the centurion : i litterally destroyed all of these class at least once when their players didn't even knew that the dodge could be dodged, or that the cent could feint his heavy.

this

and his kick is just useless in 1v1 situation, too easy to dodge and the recovery after missing kick is huge

I forgot to mention how he has some of the lowest health in the game.




Oh but he is a unstoppable God-King according to some people here lol gtfo with that

Except you get walled. I got ganged and walled quite some time in the last week.
My PK has 144 and any good gamer using Cent was easily able to crush me as soon as some walls were close.

Hell, I wonder what happens when they start unlocking all their feats.

I have a super secret tactic.


Don't tell anybody.

Spoiler:  Show

Pick your fights more carefully then and don't get yourself caught in tight spaces and if you do then I suggest you be better at GB countering or be better at parrying attacks. The LB, Raider, and the Warlord are equally as punishing in tight spaces. That is not a Centurion specific problem.

My Cent is almost rep 6. with a 124 gs... and yeah, he struggles against assassins badly.

Too slow and short ranged. His attacks are pretty much directly straight ahead as he uses thrusts more than swings.

He needs a dodge attack of his own.

All assassins have one, and other than Warden, all vanguards have one. So with him being a vanguard/assassin hybrid, he should have one also. In fact, so should Warden... maybe even everyone.

I tend not to play guys without a dodge attack as a general rule.

See anytime I agree with you I feel dirty, but this is a justifiable situation.


People try and say he is a god, he has a OBVIOUS weak-point and this is it.

4v4 against cents gank squad = bad time

The same can be said about plenty of other 4 man hero squads.
