why people leave For Honor. Reasonable explanation
First of all I really enjoyed playing For Honor. This game is what I have waiter for like 3 years. In Season 1 I enjoyed playing the game and there were 3-5 broken characters which I thought they are surely going to nerf, but they did not fix them just gave us more broken characters in Season 2 who are basically ruined the game and that is the first point(btw my main was Nobushi, Raider and Kensei)
1. Poor balancing
In season 1 Warden, Warlord, PK, Shugoki and Conq was broken because they had a free in. No character should have a free in like Warden shoulder bash, the headbut and shield bash. They gave the character a free hit if they landed that move and it was unpunishable. Conq's really big problem is that he is THE turtle meta. He gets a free GB after just blocking the attack and that is why playing against a conq is so boring and frustrating. He just doesn't attack just doing shield bash and that is it. Playing with characters like Raider, Orochi, Berserker, kensei and Nobushi was really fun cause if yoou wanted to play good with them you needed skill. And I know that Raiders and Kensei's unblockable attacks were free in as well, but they are very much punishable and that is why people don't just spam it. After season 2 I have lost all my hopes. Shinobi was basically the 1v1 king and Centurion conquered 4v4. Shinobis kick was unpunishable and did big damage. People said it was a "mind game" but it wasn't. It was a 50-50 wich you guessed correctly and still did not get anything. Raiders out of stamina unblockable was a mind game cause he only can do it once and that is it and if you were correct you acctually can punish him(not all the time but you know what i try to say). Shinobi could just spam this and that is it. Centurion is just a cancer, he basically ruined 4v4 matches. Have 1 or more centurion on your team and gg. His ability to stun people is a joke. Stun your opponent and he is dead in a team fight, and his freakin feat to throw a knife and stun the opponent is a sick joke. And doing like 90 damage for just 1 light parry is ridiculous.
2. Turtle meta
Devs you are constantly saying that you are working on it but where is it? This fix is very much needed cause it would be a big step forward towards balancing. It would effect every character and make people play with balls and acctually going for parries. Not just blocking and doing free ins.
3.Stupid feats
I talk about buffing feats like Orochi attack buff. It gives too much attack damage to Orochi. And Kensei unblockable atack buff. WTF??? Stupidly overpowered. Damaging feats are not that broken I just think that they sould be a little more slower or doing less damage. Centurions stunning knife just needs to go away no need for that broken ****.
4. Bugs
Finally the gb feints and soft feints are gone, but some unlock unparriable attacks are still there which needs to be fixed.
5. Lack of moves.
Some characters have so many moves so he can do lots of things while characters like, Warden, Warlord, Conq dont have anything only the broken moves like headbut, should/shield bash
6.(that 1 is a biggy) Connectivity issues
It is just acctually a joke. I have a green NAT and a very good internet connection and every 2nd or 3th match is a connectivity error or I just have to wait a solid minute to play the game. WHAT THE FCK?? I payed for this game to play it not jost wait for someone who has the ****tiest connection on earth and wait for him. And you can say "Yeah, but other games have P2P connection and no one is *****ing about it." First fight games like Injustice have p2p because it is only 2 people and you can see his ping so if you know that that match is going to be laggy you can just search for another match. And in Call of Duty they fixed these kind of things but there is a ping indicator to see who is lagging. For Honor needs a ping indicator to see who has the **** internet connection.
