NERF the ****ing Centurion | Forums

[agentpoop]

No other character can link unblockables like him, when the 2nd one (punches you) comes in you cannot doing anything about it cause you got hit by some charge up stab thing which is worse the the worst curve ball because it has no specific timing so parrying is a guessing game. Then with this unblockable stun punch you also get knocked to the floor as a result of the hardest move to parry in the game which he can then jump on you and hit you with one of the strongest attacks in the game and you can't do anything about it. Then when you get up all your stamina is gone and he's barely tired. No other character can even knock someone to the ground as easily as he does, if anyone should be able to do that it's Shugoki, his slow speed would off set that advantage. But the fact the Cent can broad jump further than an olympian onto you, is faster than most characters, can stun and drain stamina instantly while linking you with unblockables you cannot even react to, and a broken targeting system where even if you are focusing on dodging he heat seeks onto you no matter where you go unless you land the dodge in the absolute smallest perfect window of opportunity. Who is good against him? Valk can maybe knock him down , Orochi can dodge and Shinobi can pelt from distance. But none of those things matter when getting to do those things can't happen when you are constantly drained of stamina because he heat seeked onto you then punched you a bunch when you attempted to dodge him. He is no where near balanced and shouldn't have been released. He looks super cool I get it, but he breaks the gameplay. Shinobi is weak enough to be not totally unbalanced, but how do the Devs seriously expect and Conq or Lawbringer to fight one?

The Centurion is only "OP" when combined with another Centurian.


On his own he gets destroyed by any character in the game with a Dodge attack.

That is only true by kick spamming Centurions. Good ones who mixup are way better than %80 of the rooster, due to how big the punish you get from one mistake.

The next patch, 1.09, will contain the nerfs to both Centurion and Shinobi, among other things.

Thanks, that is good to know. And while recent tweaks to characters were actually decent, I hope you'll excuse the skepticism when I say I hope it's not just a fix to their moveset descriptions.

i dont get why still so many guys play centurion and naruto ( i guess cc spam ftw)

i got cent to rep 3 in the first 3 days of seasonpass release and switched to raider again because cent is boring af...

This. Tue only other Thing: it's boring to Play against same 2 character nearly 24/7.
Actually they are a plague.

I don't think you should be able to knock down people when they have full/most of their stamina from just a heavy. A stagger is PLENTY, especially when people are by walls and when you take into the account how much damage cent does. Maybe only when out of stam? I mean, cent already drains a ridiculous amount of stamina. Would make the character a lot more balanced and make more sense. Even the Valkrie has to start a chain just to knock you down and even then can't jump on you instantly for damage AND it can actually be dodged with the right timing...

Also, shinobi is stupid too.

The most recent changes to Centurion were to fix intended behaviors for the Centurion. The next patch, 1.09, will contain the nerfs to both Centurion and Shinobi, among other things.

i hope they make the damn dash kick punishable or remove the guaranteed heavy, its the only nerf shinobi needs

im worried about cent, he is damn anoying in 4v4 but easy to handle in 1v1....mmhh hope the nerf will not destroy him in 1v1 situations, i dont main him but we have enough low tier heroes.....

No its true for the Centurion period.


I'm sorry if you choose to disagree, but as a Beserker and as a Orochi I have absolutely ZERO issues with centurion in a 1v1 situation no matter how hard they try.


Even their best mix-ups still include easily avoided heavies and stuns. If you have issues and wanna makes excuses for those issues that is your prerogative, but i choose to rather get better than try to blame the game for my own issues.

That's why most good Centurions turtle up against faster characters.

The problem is bigger than just balance. He's simply not fun to fight.
