I just don't understand why they made every aspect of a Cent punishing. Even in the best case where he's just a noob stomper and doesn't perform well at high levels (I'm not saying this is true, just building the strongest case for a Cent's current design), that's still poor design. As a new player (or a returning player, like myself), making a single mistake that turns into 50% of my health (or 100% if there's 1 other person nearby in Dominion) feels like garbage.
When I fight a good Warden, or PK, or Zerker, I can feel pressure that has taken practice to cultivate properly, and it's me that's on my back foot trying to keep up until I get my chops back. When I fight a Cent, I more often than not feel like I made 1 mistake against 1 attack, and suddenly I'm out of stam, or out a huge chunk of health, or both at once.
Or better, I'm fighting someone in Dominion, then a Cent comes flying in to stab me, then knock me down, then leap on top of me while the other player finishes whatever health I have left. And I thought LB was annoying to fight 1vX with the knockdown spam, at least they aren't doing 50% of my health while they do it.
I don't even know if it's imbalanced, per se, but it does feel like completely shoddy design. It's taking "well it has a long wind-up, so it needs to have a big impact" risk/reward paradigm to a frustrating extreme.

Anyone defending Centurion right now, go watch this video by Reddit user Artorius_ - the Centurion can feint over 4 times as many heavies in a ROW without becoming exhausted compared to every other character. HE HAS TOO MUCH STAMINA AND USES TOO LITTLE. This is no longer up for debate. This is clearly and undeniably OP.

They aren't OP if you parry http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...er!?p=12869183 and dodge accordingly. But he is also on the way to a new NERF
