    Buff deflecting by making it do damage

    Now not a lot but maybe 2 or 3 something similar to chip damage. But with that lil damage that breaks hyperarmor is all I'm asking for

    The idea of Deflect breaking Hyper-armor sounds pretty cool. Currently there isnt a good enough reason to deflect with the assassin's aside from the serkers Deflect into wall splat. An attack that breaks hyper armor would be a cool idea.

    I think it should break chains at least, it's the same timing as a parry but there is much more risk involvedI can feint that heavy but once I dodge, oh baby I'm in for a world of hurt if someone feints, does a light feint, bad connection.

    a good point ...help the deflect of the assassin vs the hyper armor, or help the slow heroes vs the fast speed attacks of the assasin?

    I can make the suggestion to the team. I can't give any good insight as to how they'd react to it, but at least they'll know!

    Deflects breaking hyper armor would give assassins free bonus damage against Shugoki. I can't see how that wouldbefair in any way.

    I think this is a great idea, I also think that if you successfully deflect with any character the rewards should be automatic, no more button presses too do apply the attack much like the shinobi

    I would be happy if we got deflect as un interuptable in a 2 v 1 all someone has to do is gb or light it stops your deflects

    So shugoki has bad match ups vs assassins... wouldn't be the first time a hero got counter picked. Some heros are bound to do better vs specific than others... shugoki's hyper armor is a quite a powerful tool vs quite a few hero's its only natural for him to have some bad match ups. as it stands deflecting is pretty useless its sad to see that assassins have a useless tool in their kit.
