Ok, so I came back with hopes that some problem would be fixed like the connection issue...
And what I find is ONE character that is absolutly Broken. The Centurion (Duuuuh!)
Not only that guy got quite a punch, but he can pull near infinite combo that CANNOT BE COUNTERED.
So far in alls the duels I had, each time I was facing a character other than the Centurion, things were fine. Some combo were still there but could be countered and weren't giving that distinct feeling of getting cheated.
But the Centurion? Hoooo my.
Not only can he break you, he can get you whenever you are, no matter what you do, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about his broken combo.
I'd rather leave the keyboard during the duel against a Centurion than actually playing,
Also: Seriously? My skills are apparently for the computer slighty better than the guy prestige 20 in front of me.
Yeah sur.

The thing is with cent: he cannot be nerfed. He's inherently broken. He's design is broken, with the whole cutscene+stamdrain stuff. I can't understand how Cent and release date Shino (he was pretty op with the kick 50/50, but he got nerfed at least) went trough QA. Same with Highlander, how did he get past QA with a broken parry into gb? Would be good if they wouldn't release everything in a broken state, and even if they do it (it happens, not a problem), just fix it ASAP, not wait months for it.

If you're having troubles with the Cent's "infinite combo", it means you've got zero knowledge of how to fight one.
Practice more.
Above-average, higher level cent in fights don't do any "infinite combo" shi* because all of those continuous attacks are countered fairly easily. So the higher level players usually complain about the cent turtling up and just going for parry punishes, which admittedly can be a problem.
But comparatively speaking, the "Cent has too many combos and and attacks so continuously and I can't do anything but just put my controllers down and gawk at how OP the cent is" complaints are usually a nub indicator. Seeing as how you've clearly stated that you returned only recently, I find it more disturbing that you think you should be winning against a class you have no knowledge about.
I'm a slow learner and a tired old man with crap reflexes and bad eye-sight, so it took me around two months getting squashed like a bug against a cent, until I finally learned most of the proper countering methods. So if I took all that time and practice to become better, no doubt you should be able to do it a lot faster than a below-average scrub player like me.
So stop complaining, go set a lv3 BOT 99 round fight and start practicing.

Ho I trained myself, and yeah. The centurion is broken.
Shinobi, Highander, Warden, Kensei.
EVERY CHARACTER have combo that can be good but avoided.
The Centurion doesn't let you act.
Just got AGAIN comboed to death with my kensei and my character was CONSTANTLY in hit animation without being able to even just dodge on a side.
The moment a chain of combo block even dodge movement and parry, there IS something broken.
You said it yourself.
It took you 2 MONTH to be able to actually DO something against theses guys.
At the max, I only needed or or two day to deal with Valkyris and Peacekeeper. NO MORE TIME!
Even the Shinobi isn't really a problem and heck the 4 first round against them were tought. But never felt like I was being cheated at.
I could even enter my troll mode and say that your post is basicly
"Hurr hurr, took me 2 month to be able to do sh!t against cent's! Cents are fine! LULZ! L2P NUUUB OLOLOLOLOL"
edit:
AND AGAIN
My Kensei vs a Centurion prestige 20, computer say our skills are matched (yeah right. I'm prestige 2.)
INSTANTLY the guy start the combo and I CANNOT BREAK.
He start an attack that INSTANTLY BECOME A GRAB, BAM! You can't see anything! You know he will attack from your right. BAM. The Parry DOES NOT WORK and BOOM! You already lose half your HP because of a freaking broken character and his broken moves.
Even the Peacekeeper in comparaison could be fought and repelled. Not this guy.
Ho, and did I mention that in a Dominion match right before it was 4 centurion on the other team vs 3 centurion on my side and me in my Kensei?

he has been nerfed few times I play centurion a lot in duels and people tend to beat me with good defence and fake outs, if you can't beat him that means his offence and defence is too much for you to handle or the skill levels is too broken and it put you with someone too good for your skill level because i dont have super hard times to beat centurions unless he wall bashes you . the real centurions to watch out for are the one who take you head on and just parry to put the intensive play style to its fullest

I'm a Conq main, one of the characters that the Centurion was specifically designed to destroy, and I still wipe the floor with 9 out of 10 Centurion players. Cents are highly choreographed and easily punished, only able to truly shine in the gank scenario where they can spam their punches and kicks from all directions against people who aren't actively focused on them. 1v1, he's one of the easier characters to beat with how easy it is to completely shut him down. If you block or dodge his light attack, he can't initiate a quick grab. If you dodge or parry his heavy, he can't throw a punch. He can only initiate a kick from a forward dash, so if you see him move toward you in a quick manner, step to the side and punish. By simply not sucking at the game you can effectively COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN the Centurion and his ability to stamina drain and infinite chain. But rather than learning how to not suck, you'd rather come here and whine and complain for nerfs. Friggin casuals. Get good and quit your b*tchin or go play minecraft.
