Centurion so stupidely overpowered... | Forums

Kensei and raider each do 45 on wall splat and warden does 40.

yeah, you're right, I guess I got hit by 2 stun taps and ZA by Raider. I'd prefer health over damage though. would make more sense as well since he looks and feels like quite a heavily armored guy.

we could call him iron six pack then.

Ed: if we're going to nerf cent, i'd start by giving him reflex block, after all he's part assassin.

i'd rather his reflex block to be a bit longer than the assassins in game currently, because he's a hybrid not a pure assassin.

well, depends from which side you're looking, he's also part vanguard I'd be ok with a reflex block though if they sped up the guard switch speed. but overall, he doesn't feel like an assassin. apart from fast heavies, he has nothing remotely related to assassins.

dont worry they buffed hem...

well he has all the good bits of both classes, and that's why he's so good.
all he's missing is a deflect, then he's set for best hybrid.

i was thinking a 3 second reflex guard, that way it's not gone as much as pure assassins, but not there as much as vanguards.
the highest in the game right now is 2.5 seconds i think? i'm not sure, i don't have any form of stat chart to look over.

i think his guard could be sped up a tad depending how fast his reflex guard goes away, i was thinking about giving him a much longer reflex guard than pure assassins though.

yeah, he's missing deflect but he's also missing agility. the first 2 things that come to my mind when hearing 'assassin' are agility and fast attacks. Centurion only has the latter (really only applies to heavies, lights are pretty terrible). I've only played assassins before him, and Cent feels sooooo sloooow when moving/dodging. Raider has more agility than him, and he's a legitimate Vanguard. I can't catch OOS PK when she's back dodging, because Cents dodge barely covers half the distance compared to PK. since he has no agility, I see him more as a glass cannon vanguard/disabler than an assassin.

For all the people that play the Centurion who tell people to "get better and stop complaining" because they truly think that when they started to play that character, they miraculously got better, i have news for you...

it's not a coincidence that a rep 0 Centurion beats an experienced rep 5-20 character 75%+ of the time. That is definitive proof that this character is overpowered. Period. End of story. It's the reason that half of the people you fight are playing the Centurion. It's play with this bogus, broke character or deal with a 4v4 game where you are on your back as soon as you have to fight 2 of them at once. I used to take down 2,3, or sometimes 4 people on occasion with my Warlord (main) or my PK. There is absolutely no prayer to beat 2 Cents at once. Especially if you aren't a fast character. it's totally impossible to dodge all those unblockables. It's one thing to have an unblockable but to have multiple that take down stamina and incapacitate the opponent as well? Come on. And hey, let throw in some tracking lunges too. lol. But they weren't done there. The gave them the ability to take away 75% or more of a player's health over 5 or 6 attacks that leave the opponent with no stamina and it only takes away 50% of the Cent's stamina after all of that?

Give me a break. I have no idea what Ubisoft is thinking but Skirmish and Dominion aren't even worth playing. rep 0 Cent's owning every rep 10+ character on the board. yeah sure. They aren't overpowered. lol.

Thanks for the feedback all. We will be doing more balancing with the upcoming patch. We've heard all your feedback and we'll be sure to take it all under serious consideration for the next update.
With 1.08, we made changes to Centurion's jab so as to alleviate the problems of getting infinitely comboed when you're up against a wall - and we'll continue to look to evaluate and resolve more of the community issues with the new heroes moving forward.
