Literally nobody knows how to play PK properly. | Forums

After all my time playing this game, there is one thing that has gone unfixed since the beginning and it needs to change.

THE PEACEKEEPER ZONE ATTACK.

Every single Peacekeeper I've ever fought against uses the cheap, broken zone attack cancel in 1v1 fights. It is so fast it is basically a free attack every time. I seem to be the only Peacekeeper on the entire game that DOESN'T use zone attack. I've had many compliments from people because I don't use zone attacks, and I know how to deflect attacks.

There is one way Ubisoft could easily fix this problem:

REMOVE THE CANCEL PART OF THE ZONE ATTACK (JUST ON PK)

Then, instead of people being appallingly bad at the game and only spamming the zone attack, they would actually have to learn how to fight properly as the character.

I've never seen another PK use soft feint into guard break, or heavy cancel with a dodge. And on the most rare of occasions have I ever seen someone use a deflect. If you actually learn the character, there is absolutely no reason at all you should be using zone attacks in a 1v1 fight. It annoys me so much that nobody can play this character properly. Are there actually any other truly good PK's out there who don't use zone attacks?

I'll post some example videos here for peeps to see you don't need zone attacks at all (sorry they aren't all edited down)

There's the first few examples I could find. They aren't the greatest clips and don't showcase all of that listed earlier, but they show you don't need disgusting zone spam to win.

Hot damn those were some good moves on that warden

So what you mean is everyone else knows how to play PK properly because they utilise the strongest parts of her kit?

Spoiler: You're not a good PK if you deliberately gimp yourself.

finally someone who knows that her zone attack cancel is broken they need to remove that if the berserker or shinobi (also assassins) can't cancel their zone attack. Her zone is just to fast and no way to punish and thats only for 1v1 on dominion that thing is as deadly as the centurions zone attack unlock tech before the patch; now when they apply bleed with the feat in dominion its just not fair. also all the pks do is cheese with that or just the bleed attacks then zone attack cancel cheese then you're dead my pk isn't even rep 1 yet and i can cheese high rep pk then have them tell me that i don't know how to pk.

that part of her kit is broken and need to get fixed, if the berserker or shinobi can't cancel their zone attack then neither should the pk

The only real advantage of PK is the speed of her zone and lights. Yes there are other tools at her disposal and a good player makes use of them all -when they're appropriate- but gimping yourself doesn't make you good, it makes you stubborn. These clips are not impressive.

The zone always comes from the same side. Even if you aren't using a character that can just hold block on the right (many can), a good player can feel for when to prepare for it the same way you can against Warden and Orochi zones.

Actually it is pretty stupid to not use everything your character has that works to their advantage in a fight. You're telling me Muhamed Ali shouldn't have used his left labs and quick footwork? Or that Bruce Lee was crap at fighting because he could throw attacks that were lightning quick? Do you see the error in that logic?

Knowing how and when to use the PK's zone seperates the good PKs from the bad. And vice versa knowing which side the zone comes from and picking up on a PK's habits seperate the good players from the bad.

For those saying about being bad by not cheating (using PK zone cancel), are you thick? Are you blind?

There is literally zero skill in using PK zone attack cancel during a 1v1 fight. Using it does NOT make you a good PK in the slightest so you need to go and rethink your definition of good. The ability to cancel the zone attacks need removing. Without the ability to cancel that broken nonsense, less people would use it and would be forced therefore TO ACTUALLY BECOME A GOOD PK.

Thanks dude

No, using it does not inherently make one a good PK. Heck, I've parried PK's that spam it. However, utilising the full kit of your character when your character has a fully usueable kit is the smart thing to do. You have your own way of playing and that's great but it doesn't mean your way is the superior or inferior way to play. It just means you choose to play this way. That's all.

If you played on PC you'd find it much harder to refuse to use her zone. We can actually parry lights here

Also, PK isn't the only one with a super fast zone. Warden, Warlord and Orochi have that too.
