I wouldn't say he's bad in 1v1. He's at the top of B tier. which is where a majority of people exist in this game.
To be a good centurion in 1v1 you need to master a few things:
1) light parrying.
2) his soft feint game. (charged heavy then press GB without letting go of your charge)
3) using the environment to your advantage.
If you can light parry consistently you're going to get 60 damage everytime.
his soft feint game is how you can mix things up and get more damage in.
and the environment is still a really good way to rack up stamina damage and actual damage. far as I know you can still harass someone just as much if you get them in a corner as if the nerf didn't happen.
Though due to the centurion not having any reliable way in on someone, his lights being neigh useless, and his quick throw being actually useless he struggles against competent players in 1v1.
And I do think he needs buffs to fix that.

He might not be top tier in 1on1 situations on PC.
On console however, he is stronger. His heavy cancel into GB is bad enough and should not even exist. The parry window on his charged heavies is also pretty short and difficult to memorize - other heavy strikes can be partied on their indicators. With his cancel into GB, you can burn an enemies stamina with ease, forcing the enemy into passivity.

Centurion is far from bad in 1v1. Sure he's not the best, but he's at least upper mid-tier.
Although if Centurion decides to turtle, he may as well be God.
Centurion needs some nerfs and fixes to his tracking, before you can even think about buffing him. In my opinion, I don't see why he needs buffing. He's not as bad as Kensei and Berserker. As I said previously, if Centurion decides to turtle he's damn near unstoppable, but that's another issue altogether. Personally, I think he could do with a bit of a kit rework to fit more inline with his hero description. Right now, he's possess the best CC and disabling moves in the game which completely go against his hero description. I know someone is going to tell me not to take them seriously, but if Ubi decides to include specific hero classes/descriptions, then the hero should at least fit them. You don't have a "tank class" in an RPG game with the health of a Mage now do you? So why can Centurion disable other heroes better than the heroes who are classed as Disablers?

I think the problem with Centurion's balance is that you have opposite poles. In one of them, his tools are not that good because his kick is not hard to dodge and his tools are not that hard to react to once you get used to them (charged heavy into gb still gets me because I don't encounter a lot of good Centurions, but I see it as my fault) and in the opposite side you have a Centurion that gets a lot of damage from a heavy parry if you got a wall near especially with his new zone unlock tech, and a Centurion whos light parries give a **** ton of free damage and once again with more damage than intended because of his zone unlock.
I think that Centurion could use a buff and a nerf at the same time. A nerf to his abiliy to get that kind of free damage from parries. The turtle meta patch is going to indirectly nerf one, because if it takes away gb from heavy parry then it takes away the Centurion insane wall punish and for the other one they have to take away the guaranteed charged heavy from a light parry and give him a regular heavy, then fix that unlock unparriable zone, once he doesn't get that kind of insane damage from turtling, buff Centurion to make him better in 1v1.

he is op even in duel .one mistake and you lost the whole round , 90% health gone, no stamina remain and no possibility to regen your stamina .If the centurion you playing with has a minimum blocking and parrying skill your done in 15 second.
I do believe i am a decent player but i cant do nothing against the centurion even if i am more and more getting to know his moveset.
he have the crushing counter on parrying that get him going
he have a feint heavy into a gb ,if the gb success he get going with is insane unblockable unreactable combo.
If you parry his unblockable and drain his stamina he doesn't fall on his back.
I simply refuse to fight him .I just had my first match of the day with this centurion ,and i ragequit willing to get that 10 minute penalty.Now im done with this centurion , everytime i will meet one i will use the 30 second granted to leave.
sorry but today is the day i had enough.Who seriously want to fight one sided battle ?
