Being well leveled on the shinobi I can tell you first hand your correct. If your playing an average or lower skilled player absolutely. When your fighting a skilled player. They know what they are doing and they know how to kill a shinobi.
I dont play like one of those *******s you find 9 times out of 10 that play as shinobi that do nothing but spam light attacks. I utilize every skill at hand and that is the only way to fight with a shinobi if your playing at a high level against somebody good. It takes skill to be truly good at the shinobi.
I have no problem beating a shinobi because 9/10 are trash that dont even use the moves. Playing any decent opponent they easily can annhilate the character.
Way too little health, slowest heavys, kicks always been easily avoidable, shinobi is severly punished by ranged gbc and ranged parrys.
Sounds like your just having a problem playing against spammers. Or just havent gotten enough time to practice fighting against one that knows what theyre doing. Once you do youll realize. How easy they are to defeat

If we're all honest, each hero had their annoying quirks. Honestly, yes cent can be annoying to play against. But so can the shanobi. He never even has to get within striking range to kill you. And when he does, he can destroy you with light spam, and his own stamina drain game is annoying. Oh yeah, the range in his GB is insane and super annoying. Especially when he can do it across gaps and pulls you into environment traps. And then there is the bleed damage stack.
Speaking of, the Nobushi is Queen in the bleed damage department. All she needs to do is stab, stab, stab and you're dead. Sometimes you never even get a chance to make an attack. Then there is the Shugoki and his hyper armor nonsense where all he has to do is eat an attack to deal a massive heavy blow, guaranteed. Same goes for the Warlord. Then you have the beserker and conqueror who are built around the chain attack game. And yes, Warden vortex sucks, but it can be dealt with. Then there is the whole issue if initial damage output for each hero. There's some drastic differences here if you care to take a look. And I can go on. Let's not even begin talking spamable heroes.
Fact is, each character is designed with a certain play style in mind. Says so in the selection and customization windows. And yes some of these need a little work. But we need helpful conversations. This name calling nonsense is getting us nowhere. It is poison to the community and drives players away.
And I've played lawbro for a while now, yes he has shove. Yes it can get old. But it can be beaten. He is super weak against fast attackers. And most of his attacks are super telegraphed like the raiders.
Let's work towards helpful convos that will get us where we want to be. How about we address one or two egregious moves. Maybe increase the time between stab and punch? Because honestly, besides the mix-up game, he's got nothing.

You cant fix the defensive meta by releasing 2 heroes that completely counter it. That just leads to ****ing 12 heroes that are completely ****ing useless to the 2 new heroes that were designed to counter them.
We call out for nerfs because new heroes were designed to be OP to get players to spend more money on the game. They will always be ****ing OP no new class in any game has never not been OP at release in my entire history of gaming.

All I'll say is that the Centurions do need to have a nerf. The damage they deal is far too much for a punish that you got from one simple mistake.
Plus I've played as a Centurion and found it far to easy to take down players with this character. I usually play the Raider and earn about 8 to 15 kills. The Centurion earned 20 kills without breaking a sweat in my plays.
To put it simply. Yes he is very strong and I've noticed that he has a very quick heavy attack when tapped which makes sense since he only holds a small sword although I'm wondering if this will also affect the upcoming patch for this or not. (Just a reminder for those who ever face a Centurion)
