It is nice to see the devs trying to make For Honor a competitive game, being a good esport can really boost's a game life.
But right now, skilled play is fundamentally broken.
1. The turtle meta is extremely dominant, and extremely boring. Definitely the main issue.
2. Heroes aren't balanced. 1v1 tournmanets are won mostly by Peacekeepers and Warlords, but mostly Warlords.
3. There are a ton of techs, or exploits, left in the game. Nobushi can unlock her zone and make it really fast and unparryable. Centurion can unlock after knocking someone down and do a zone attack on them.
I can already see ranked play as being this:

I am not asking for the turtle meta nerfs to be out before you even test ranked play, but I am really asking that they should be out before you release ranked play. Thank you.

1.
They are on the Meta change since the 2nd week of the release.
A good patch needs time. Raider buff needed at least 2 months.
2. Heroes will be a bit balanced, but apart from Cent and some BS techs, it's in a good place. Warlord headbutts are reactable.
3. If you know the techs, you have advantage. Way to get even better.
I hope they let us test the new meta tho, it would be nice.

There will be some changes to revenge in the upcoming 1.09 title update that may help a bit with turtling, and there will definitely be more of the def meta changes coming in the future. These changes won't be live on the Public Test, but by the time tournament/ranked modes are officially live we should have addressed many of the concerns you are bringing up.
Please take this opportunity to give us feedback on the test and tournament modes, and we'll keep working on the meta/balance changes as well.

Far out, why are you guys still messing around with Revenge?! does it not occur to you that most people want revenge REMOVED in all competitive formats? turtle meta is not because we lack some skill we need to activate once ever X time. Far out you guys keep impressing me with how you just don't seem to have any idea about what you want this game to be. IF you want it to be a mindless guessing game where basic unfun mechanics are abused, just go ham on that, but why on earth are you then wasting time on a tournament mode? If you want to be taken seriously, take some damn advice, and stop ****ing around with gear stats.
