It's true that everyoe want to belive that his main hero is the weakest and wanna see him buffed to insanity. but the truth is out of the 14 heros there are only 1 or 2 who really needs more moves. like conq for example. the truth is. every hero has somehing good. i know because i lost to that very technique. you really have to connect with your hero to unleash his potentioal. untill then he will look weak to you. ofcourse cent is a different case. because he has lower recovery time than all the other heros.

warden: good defense and offense. pluse shoulder bash. mixup is needed with SB
conq:excellent defense. poor offense. you need to havily rely on sheild bash
PK: good defense and offense. bleed and fast attacks.
lawbringer: good defense and okay offense. pluse shove makes for a good offense. has a wide tool kit and should be mixed properly to win every fight
cent:best defens in knight faction. best offense in the game so far. wide range of attacks to choose from and very low recovery time between moves.

raider: good defense and offense. a good range of tools to mix up from to ensure victory.
warlord: 3ed best defense. and 2nd best offense. very wide moves to choose from and use to your advantage.
berserker: good defense. great offense. heavy damage. fast dodge attacks and uninterruptables.
valk: good defense and offense. fast attacks. sheild bash. leg sweep

kensei: good defense and offense. good dodge attacks and uninterruptables. fast attacks. long range. havey damage.
shugoki: great defense and offense. heavy damage
orochi: good defense and offenes. have damage of certin attacks. best way to win is by counter-attacking. this is what his tool is designed for. i know because i have only played orochi untile now. other play styles will take longer to finish the battle.
nobushi: good defense and offense. bleed. good range.
shinobi:good defense and offense. fast attacks and unblockable kick.

I only play orochi and I think u must be high if u think orochi has good attack and "defense" and I loled so hard at "counter-attacker". Orochi has no openers, ****tiest deflect move with ****tiest reward, easiest to parry out of all 4 assassins and all u gotta do is block or parry top and right. I will admit tho, orochi is an amazing noob stomper.

Hmmm... I don't like this list because its misleading. Simply stating "good offense" fails to capture the strengths of the heroes and the list neglects most of their weaknesses entirely. The only hero who's weakness is even mentioned is conquerer, who is arguably one of the stronger heroes. Defense is the way to win right now and his is second to none. His offense may be lacking but all you need to do is learn how to cancel heavies into shield bashes to guarantee some damage.

Other heroes like kensei look like gods by comparison when in actuality they are not. Kensei does have really good damage but he is entirely reliant on his opponent falling for mixups, all of which are reactable. Centurion on the other hand also is mixup dependent but he has way more options than kensei. He also has much more damage potential with his stun/knockdown combos and the ability to charge his heavies makes him virtually unparryable.

It's true that every class has strengths but the issue is that for some classes, there is another with the same strengths and also more.

OP may not be right when trying to describe each heroes strengths and weaknesses, but he has a very good point.

Which heroes are so underpowered that they need a buff desperately like Raider and Kensei did? Plenty of heroes could use a rework in one area or another to make them more competitively viable or just even not boring to play. But for 95% of the player base, every single hero is more than perfectly viable in just about any situation. Until you start parrying every single light attack and mastering all unlock techs and even exploits, only then do you have to worry about which hero might be better than the other. Until that point, the game is 100% skill and does not matter what hero you use.

And this isnt to say every hero is perfect. Clearly they are not, but you could nit pick something from every single hero that needs to be buffed or nerfed. Generally the game is balanced. A lot more than other games.

Um just look at orochi, they have been promising us a buff for like over a month

[Blasto95]

He doesnt need a buff though...even with his limited kit, hes an average hero. People just complain because their main isnt top 5 Meta.

Orochi needs a rework to make him more interesting and less reliant on 2 or 3 moves. He does not need just a straight up buff.

Only hero that desperately need a change in my opinion, is 4v4 centurion. And clearly Ubisoft knows they have to do something with that.

[Vingrask]

Desperately need a buff? No hero need it right now. All heroes need a game's core defense rework. All!. You Kensei players...

The GAME need to change, and second to Noty they are working on it and have a lot of builds being tested. Any change they do to any hero before that patch go live won't will solve the problems. Kensei now is in a better spot than Berserker (always did in fact) and you don't see me coming here cry about only my hero. I'm saying how the defense need a rework since first month.

Intresting guys. tell me. if you think your hero is that bad. how come you have won matches with him. as it luck? cheating ? hacking?
am curious to know

[Arkhos1988]

God you are ******ed, sure you win some games, due to having bad teamplay in 4v4 or you get people who are new or a lot worse than your self, which only shows that matchmaking is ****.
How about you actually present and argument and not a braindead comment to force your point.

Unlike you bro. am not forcing any point. its my opinion. but no need for bad language. if we all want our heros to have an easy win everytime like centurion then fine go ahead ask for the buffs all you want. but dont pretend that you cant defend with any hero.or parry. sure kensie and Conq have limitied movesets and i hope they give them more. but stop cursng just because i dont agree with you.if you hate losing that much then get better. if its 1v1 or more just get better. if you are on ps4 maybe we can practice together.
