Another reason to nerf centurion | Forums

[Stankyfoot]

The longer this cancer is left in the game the more tricks people will discover on how he can be exploited to maximum benefit...

QA testing and rapid balance patches are obviously needed..

It wont happen and FH will die. Bad devs imo.

So what, you think they should literally remove the character from the game?

Centurion changes are still something that we are intensively looking into. We should have more information on what these changes will be in the the coming weeks.

With all due respect, screw you. I'm fed up with the infamous Ubisoft "soon" answer to everything to hide obvious lack of foresight.

Centurion has been broken since season 2 release. You guys had plenty of time to test him internally and the players having very negative experience against him in Dominion are swarming the forums. A lot of people are leaving the game and actively posting in rage pointing fingers at the Centurion.

What the hell are you guys doing. It's doesn't take WEEKS to do a quick patch. Something is defenetely needed right now. A small fix to improve our gaming experience until the "real" patch comes along.

The devs in for honor really seems like they're very inexperienced, the game is a brand new type of style is not a excuse.
The testings and such are still the same as all other games, and it seems like they're just rushing to release anything they work on and doesn't do enough testing and researching
Learn from other games please.

Here's a quick way to balance the Centurion for 4v4. Make his Charged Heavy Pin work how grabs do (if you pin and an ally hits your target, breaks the pin), make CC effects not reset instantlyi (as in, while in stun animation from a kick, you can be kicked again and it refreshes the animation, unlike normal attacks which won't stagger until the first animation ends), and make his jab knockdown allies it hits along the way, just like Valk Sweep does. That way Cents won't mindlessly charge Jabs in gang up situations.

Oh, and fix Pinning and Jabs against people in Revenge. The fact that a Centurion can completely ignore revenge by charging a heavy in a 2v1 situation, Pin you so you can't do anything, full charge a Jab, knock you down, and all the while his ally is beating on you, is absurd. Oh, and the fact that if you EVER decide to attack during Revenge, you HAVE to focus the Centurion so they don't do this, because Charged Heavy Pin interrupts your attack, unlike Shoulder Bash/Shield Bash.

Here's the stupidest thing in the world. Jab tracks decently vs a side dash, but Valk's sweep can be side dashed (for the love of all that is holy how the hell can you dash THROUGH a spear and nothing happen?) as well as back dash, doesn't guarantee 40 damage, and doesn't have a way to be guaranteed to knock down outside of the 60 damage parry combo (Parry, Guard break, headbutt (enemy out of stam, falls down), forward dash light, light, sweep (guaranteed, since they're just getting up by the time sweep hits), heavy combo). So Cent got a better valk sweep without Valk's downsides (knocks allies down). Herp derp.

Yes, ranting and raving like an angsty teenager will definitely yield a positive result. Good thinking!

You show that community rep who has nothing to do with balance decisions who's boss.

This is one of the reasons it's taking a great deal of time to get changes out for him. It's a very similar situation as we had with the Lawbringer. Upon release, the community was saying that the Lawbringer was underpowered. However, in 4v4 he was performing very well. When looking at ways to adjust him, we had to consider how to improve his 1v1 capabilities without overpowering his 4v4 prowess. In a similar way, we are looking at how to decrease Centurion's 4v4 power without leaving him overly weak in 1v1.

You destroyed the most popular mode for 12 characters so that this one favorite toy would not be weak in 1v1?
And you let it stay this way for this long??

Yea screw that. You guys should have hotfixed him whatever its consequences for 1v1 may be, until when you can fix his 1v1 back. But f**k logic I guess.

Seems more to me like the playerbase is inexperienced. The actual good players tend to think characters need to be more like Centurion, but you don't hear that very often around here do you?

Jurassic, this isn't a "balance complaint" than it is a simple BUG/GLITCH fix proposition.

I understand new introduced classes still can have some big and small bug/glitches that needs to be grinded out -- but that being said, the centurion does have a tad bit more buggy-glitchy things happening with him than usual... for example...

...as well as Centurion's normal (not UB version) charged heavy ignoring all UIs in game and "pinning" them for the guaranteed charged jab.


Add in the complaint in this thread and that's 4 bug/glitches that can be reproduced consistently and also is subject of abuse and exploitation. I'm not asking for balance changes unlike some of the balance whiners in this thread. This is not a balance complaint -- it's a bug/glitch which needs to be fixed.

Centurion is almost garbage in 1v1. How do you intend to fix him in 4v4 without slaughtering him in duels?

Maybe on PC. On console, he is also very strong in 1on1 situations.

Yeah I was just messing around on my blue geared Centurion last night in an Elimination for the Community Event. Slaughtered a Peacekeeper and a Valkyrie in 1 vs 1. Anecdotal I know, could be me, could be them, but those are 2 very strong classes and I demolished them in a fair 1 vs 1.
