I just want to make it clear once again....
this game sucks now.
Both Centurion and Shinobi ruined For Honor gameplay.
You put em in the game to break the turtle meta.
But guess what...I have to face very high reputation players...and all they do is TURTLE with Shinobi and Centurion...u know why?
BECAUSE THEY CANT GET PUNISHED!
Shinobi: If I attack ---> KICK + HEAVY to the face..(Confirmed Kick+heavy is basically all good players do, u can do Kick backflip + heavy if people can dodge so u dont get punished...range attacks are totally forbidden cause unsafe)
Centurion: All you have to do with him is stay close to a wall and parry once/ GB once/ punish one mistake --> 65 Damage combo + lose all ur stamina + usually lose the fight by one mistake. zero chance vs this boring playstyle. And unfortunately I play very good players who can parry almost everythingFUN AS HELL let me tell you.
This game is unplayable at high prestige now unless u play the same boring playstyle and dont attack at all...wait and react and punish...NEVER ATTACK
Guess what UBISOFT....I played this game because I like attacking...and its not possible to attack anymore especially vs thos 2 new chars.
How you ****ed up a really fun game so hard so quickly....I dont get it ffs.
(Oh and IM talkin about duels.
The 4v4 modes are ****ed up too now cause of all the unblockables...revenge is basically useless.)
For Honor is dead.
Edit: Just watched iSKies one of the best Wardens out there losing firstt round vs a Shinobi...he looked helpless...tried to get an attack in somehow...and lost. HAH dumb game

Fully agree with this. The new characters movesets seem to directly counter every other character in the game one way or another. If you do anything other than dodge away they are going to win every fight. They are overpowered 1 on 1 and even worse on team gamemodes. Every team seems to be (on average) 2 centurions, 1 shinobi and maybe one origional character if you're lucky. Make 1 minor mistake and you're trapped in an endless stunlock and stamina-drain chain until you're dead.

I will agree that a lot of Shinobi players I encounter do little more than turtle or force me to chase them; in both instances they're faster with more range. Fighting Shinobi in Dominion is a chore, and honestly I'm just not patient enough. :\
Centurion, more so than Shinobi, just doesn't feel like For Honor. Hard to put my finger on it; I'm not even convinced he's that overpowered, or overpowered at all in an ideal environment. The problem fighting Centurion is how his attacks take away my control. I've seen a Centurion get knocked off other players, but they're stuck their in the canned animation, getting stabbed or punched, and the Centurion is off in a Shugoki hug or something. No other hero has this effect on your character. And it's this intrusion into your interface and peripherals that makes him so obnoxious to fight. One mistake, or in a 2v1, almost guaranteed that you're looking at no stamina, no camera control, no character control, and a UI that punctuates its absence with white flashes. Name another hero that causes your game to behave in such an excessively jarring way. I'll wait.
It's a running joke in the Dominion chat; whichever side has the most Centurions will win. For the most part, it's true. Which is I think part of the problem here; the game is primarily balanced for high-level 1v1. And that looks/plays nothing like your average Dominion match. Put three Centurions on a team and the game's fundamentals start to break down.
