Hello Ubisoft and the community. I've been playing For Honor since it came out and I'd like to say that this game definitely has a TON of potential. But with the lack of ANY servers (idk who thought that was a good idea) it has struggled to completely win me over like some other people I met on the game (who Fu***** worship it like it's a cult or something.)
But so far, my BIGGEST gripe with the game is Shinobi. And I've used this character a lot so I'm completely not biased at all. I believe he should be nerfed (which is what may happen) and here's a list of reasons why (A.K.A. a list of his moves that make him very overpowered once combined into a single character, ESPECIALLY when he's being used to gang up on someone:
• Slide tackle (very effective because he can sneak up on you)
• Evade kick ( he can’t be stopped while doing, even if you hit him twice or try to shove him, it AND it’s unblockable and guarantees a heavy hit if it lands. And if you don't have an assassin your dodge has to be nearly perfectly timed). Also, he can immediately follow the evade kick with another move or counter guard-break if need be (there's not repercution to spamming the move).
• Has the greatest range out of every character (Nobushi, The valkyrie or any other long range character might as well not even have that title anymore) And even if you counter his ranged moves and knock him down, he might still be out of range for you to take advantage of the counter. Also, when someone's using him to gang up on someone else he can just sit off-screen and spam his ranged attackes in they're not locked onto him, plus he doesn't appear on the radar so it's like a ghost is spamming you.
• The fastest running character (can either run your a** down like a dog or retreat effortlessly... AND he can capture a position before any other charcter)
• Very fast close combat (can spam light attacks just as well as the peacekeeper)
• Double dash (like wtf, he's the ONLY character who can do this)
• Gets health from landing hits (I know it's a feat, but still. The fact that he has the least amount of health in the game really doesn't matter when he has this feat. And this feat is also constant and will last for the remainder of the game once obtained... which is also B.S.)
• Can put you on your knees and slice your face (not really over powered, but it's a tad annoying to be left helpless while this is happening)
• Doesn’t appear on the radar
• Evade kick takes away 1/3 stamina (annoying in addition to the other reasons why it's overpowered)
• After throwing a ranged attack he can dash towards you instantly… then backflip kick you (which is unblockable) or perform any move whatsoever.
It may not be bad for one-on-one, but these moves are very problematic when you're being ganged up on. On top of that, when you compare him to other characters NO ONE else has a moveset as vast as his. NO ONE. Just look at the raider... besides for his unblockable axe-swing (which can EASILY be parried if you're experienced) what else does he really have (besides for the stun too)?? The sames goes with every character when being compared to Shinobi. Idk how you guys are going to do it, but something MUST be done. He's in a whole other league.

Honestly I don't think it is already time to call for nerfs.
The 2 new classes are obviously played a lot right now, I myself only play Centurion and Shinobi since S02 started,
But that's just cause it's new and fresh and thus we see games with up to 5 or 6 Shinobi or Cents. Heck yesterday I had a match with 3 centurions + 1 shinobi VS 4 shinobis....
But this will change in time, as already more apparent yesterday when each match still had Shinobi and Cent, but only 1 or 2...
The reason why they feel OP is they break the current turtle meta. And so they feel like they are better/more usefull then other heroes.
I do feel devs should update some other heroes making them better to get through turtle meta as well.
Fun enough though some of the "lesser" classes in latest meta are quite good Shinobi/Cent killers. And as for the ghost spammer keep track of your surroundings. It's not like they are actually invisible. Just not on radar. I would give it time and I think we will soon learn to deal with them as we did with Orochi, Peacekeeper, Warlord and all other "OP characters" of the past.

I think he needs a buff. My K/D with him (Im now rep 8) is half that of what my K/d is with my other mains, warden & PK. deflect is total garbage, and all his moves/ mixups rely on the enemy actually failing to CGB/ Parry and dodge. Shinobi may dictate the pace of the fight, but it all rests upon your enemies total inability to counter at the same speeds. Some of the toughest players that were close to my skill level that I always used to beat just stomp me as shinobi. Probably gonna go back to warden untill/ If deflect becomes usefull and the backflip gets some I frames.
