You guys ruined this game.
Without any warning, warlord is nerfed to ground. You guys said nerfing a character should not be one step to the end last week and you guys just did the exact thing you described on warlord. Without any changes on pts, without listening to any of the feedback, you guys just did it.
Do you really think warlord is the biggest problem in the game? What about centurion? Gladiator? You think those characters are not broken? You guys deleted warlord's shield bash and heavy, but do you realize cent can do more damage and more stamina drain from any parry? And while most people is complaining about cent getting overpowered, you guys chose to nerf warlord? But not to nerf cent? Not to fix unlock techs and soft feint? Not to nerf gladiator which has a move faster and deals more damage than headbutt? A character which has a zone almost impossible to react?
I really don't understand this. Does warlord has a higher win rate than gladiator? I guess you guys cares only about whether this DLC hero can be op enough so more people will come and buy him? So you guys can earn more profit? Is there anyone who is really listening to the feedback in your team? Is there anyone who really knows what does it means to give an assassin three unblockables and unlimited stamina? Is there anyone in your team who cares more about this game and his players than about profit?
One of my friends, who played 1100 hrs and mains warlord, just deleted his For Honor. He told me there is no balancing in this game. Maybe before today when someone else say that this game is unbalanced, we will stand up for it. But not now, not after your unthoughtful changes and blind ignorance. This game is going to end this year, and there won't be people playing it anymore.
When you nerfed warden, I didn't say anything because I was not a warden player.
When you realeased cent and gladiator, I was desperate but I know maybe oneday you will figure it out and nerf those brokend characters.
Whne you nerf warlord without changing any character that needs to be changed, I know this is my end.

Well, at least you're leaving the game because of unnecessary alterations rather than simply because you can't beat a particular character. To answer all of your questions at once, no they don't listen to a damn thing that's said on the forums and make changes at their own discretion. The game isn't about balance, it's about popularity. And money. Always the money. I'm not saying I agree with you that there are other characters that need changes. Personally, I think every character is just about perfect the way they are. I've played the entire roster, all 16 characters, have an overall account reputation of 124, and all of my characters are rep 7 minimum in with a gear score of at least 144. Having played them all, each and every character has their strengths and weaknesses, depending on how you play them. But overall, they're fine as is. Low level/reputation play is cancer as any of them, but once you get them repped up and into some decent gear, it starts to feel like a completely different game. With that being said, the decision to nerf the Warlord and remove his shield bash heavy effectively eliminates one of his most critical functions, and I can see it having a dramatic impact on his ability to stand his ground as well as he used to be able to. Is it worth quitting playing over? I don't think so. With EVERYTHING ELSE that's wrong with the game, quitting over a character being nerfed seems a bit trite. But I suppose I could possibly see it as a "last straw" ordeal.

I bet they have been looking at and iterating on Warlord for a long time now and this is the culmination of their effort. It has been what, less than a day? And you refuse to even try to adapt?
Centurion is in their sights but it won't happen instantly. No one has any patience, but if you want balance, patience is required.
