    Conquerer vs shinobi is hard!!

    Even dodging,blocking etc is hard for a conquerer when againts a shinobi. I find the easiest way to kill them is to try keep distance and go into turtle so they can only use gb at a distance then cancel it. But then its getting to them for the hit. Close up is hard work. Some people on facebook etc are saying conquerers move set is being looked at and maybe a buff? Is this true? And info would be great. Thanks.

    I have a hard time with them too with the Conqueror. I can't wait on them and turtle id get ate up. I usually just keep constant pressure on them and hope I force them into a mistake. some times it works sometimes it don't.

    Yeah it can be very difficult. Specially on dominion. If you turtle to long someone else will just come at you. Conquerers are a target to ganks cuz they are just a tank and can distract other players. With the centurion and shinobi kick now it can get you out of turtle very easy now. 1v1 with a centurion im fine with i can dodge the kicks etc. But a Shinobi is just that bit more of a pain. If i get him in a corner or againts a wall then i can do some damage or even kill em. Thats not always the case tho unfortunately.

    Conq literally has nothing against shin. you've got the ability to dodge the kick and bash for a free light. that's it.
    he's got range on you. and much more tools than you.
    Far as a conq buff goes they are waiting till they patch the defensive meta (soon!) and then decide with what to do beyond that with him.

    Damn, I want conq buffs now. I've always hated how the orochi can do more damage than him even though he's supposed to be a 'heavy hitter' :P

    As for shinobi, I generally try to get close to them, wait for a heavy then guardbreak after blocking the heavy. Do that 3-4 times and they'll die. Also dodge shield bash when they try to kick you. There's not really an easier way...

    Aren't you guys tired of saying the same words you don't even comprehend? Like "defensive meta" ? What hero is "defensive meta" anymore besides warlord ?)
