    What I think about fast vs slow heroes combat, as a fast/medium

    Hyperarmor really helps heavy and slow heroes who cant just dodge and have slow attacks. But there is one thing that might be missing and i wanted to discuss it here. What if there was some poise? Like hyperarmor but without the need of an attack for the immunity. But instead of being a hero property it could be in the weapon used.

    For example, a nobushi against highlander. Let's ignore feinting, since it's something both can use the same way.
    The highlander has really slow attacks very reactable and low mobility while nobushi has fast attacks and high mobility. This really screws HL, because Nobushi can just spam light attacks in many directions interrupting HL's slow attacks. Since Nobushi has good mobility she can just attack and dodge while HL could wait for a chance to trade. To avoid HL playing defensive waiting for a trade, the first light attack sould not interrupt attacks at any stage, but the second could interrupt at the very beggining.

    So quick attacks in quick characters should interrupt them, since they can move fast and just dodge, but quick attacks in heavy enemies shouldn't. Slow, strong attacks sould affect anyone the way it is. So weapons like spears dont interrupt slow Axe attacks but still don't become useless against them. I think this could help against light attack spammers against slow heroes and make the game more interesting.

    If you have any suggestion to improve this or an example of a situation where this could be bad I would like to know.

    I just thought about that, it has some flaws, but i think it could help making the game better for heavies against fast heroes. BTW I don't play with heavies, I'm talking about this because i think it's unfair with them. What do you think when considering both sides?

    Thanks for your attention

    I play a LawBringer most of the time, and honestly some super-armor vs light attacks would be awesome.
