We get it, your entire team LOVES assassins but for the love a god stop putting assassins in for honor the entire game has turned into a spam of lights and feats. f***ing stop. Either improve the blocking mechanics to counter the spam or stop putting heroes in that just make it worse. Four F**king seasons and no improvements to Conq, Shug, Kens, etc. no new hero have been released for heavy's, or vanguard. WTF UBISOFT cut the people some slack that don't play assassins. there is already no real balance in your game. and from what i saw on the dev stream, you're going to make light attacks uninterruptible while your opponent is out of stamina ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME. how do you season after season just make **** worse.

Saw this and my first thought as well was, Orochi. Lol.
He's a joke of an ant in this game against everyone.
Let's see...
Here's the characters he can slice up to hell and back without finishing only to be killed by one short chain...
Highlander
Centurion
Shugoki
Here's the characters he can barely touch...
Kensei
Warlord
Peacekeeper
Berserker
Valkyrie
Nobushi
Shinobi
Here's the four characters he gets a nice balanced fight with...
Warden
Gladiator
Conqueror
Raider
And Shinobi got a buff first?
That blew my mind.
I bought this game when I found out I could run around online with a katana.
Don't dig Kensei, won't dig the new character as I only want one katana.
So, the longer I play, the more bitter I become about Orochi.
Running around tapping shoulders and pounding my girlish fist throws at giants until they turn around and lay me out.
But I can see your grief with the rest of the assassins.
As long as you don't consider Orochi above low tier, that would be a joke.

And when I talk about slicing people to hell and back...
I'm doing this with +22.40% Attack.
And I can't finish off a Highlander, Centurion, or Shugoki on a chopping block.
Some assassin.
Here's an improvement idea.
He's no assassin.
No better than a Warden.
Change his class name and give him regular blocking as opposed to reflex.
Could also make Riptide Strike able to cancel like Storm Rush.

Actually warden hars the most basic kit. Orichi is good not that low of a caracter tier. Its just borring to play him. Just like wardenOriginally Posted by Howard_T_J Go to original post

He is that low tier cause he barely has much more of an often usable kit than Warden, and reflex blocking.
Would I rather be able to deflect or not have that and be able to defend myself without reflex blocking which means you got half a chance one on one, deader than a door nail in two seconds against two or more.
But he's an assassin, right?
Yet his offensive kit is as basic and predictable as Warden.
Like I said, he's an ant in this game.
Facing Highlander, Centurion, Shugoki...
What a joke.
+24.40% Attack, landing 10 hits, oh look...
They're still alive.
Oh look, Highlander then killed him with one three strike chain.
Oh look, Centurion got a spam cycle going.
Oh look, Shugoki had enough of the girly slaps, let's just pick this ant up, break his back, and crush his skull.
Facing Berserker, Kensei, Valkyrie, Peacekeeper, Nobushi, Shinobi...
Stay back Orochi.
Don't even think about it.
Can't touch this.
Stay out of range.
Poke, poke, slap, stab, swipe...
Told you fool...
You too slow.
Not even your lights will stop me from slapping you up the second you in range.
Oh you finally landed a little chain, how cute.
Too bad we hugging now.
Poke, poke, slap, stab, swipe...
Lay down.
He's an ant.
I love when the small, small minority on here that consider him decent try to debate...
Well, "he's not that low tier".
Says it all.
It's just devil's advocate for the sake of not liking the complaints.
But the vast majority speak loud and clear on these pages and laughing at him on the mic in the game.
He's garbage.

Sorry about hijacking the thread that does have a good point in regards to all other assassins.
I just have to be heard where I can about this.
I mean Shinobi being buffed in that patch, not Orochi?
That's a joke.
And he's not boring to me.
He's frustrating.
I play him only, literally.
Rep 40 overall because I've literally never used another character online.
I'd be a 120-150 by now otherwise.
But I'm not interested in anything but a cool looking Samurai with one katana and his whole style.
The executions, battle e'motes, exc...
I bought the game to be a Samurai like this.
6 months, I play hard, deal with the handi-cap.
And played a lot in these six months.
It's not "git gud".
I'm as mix up and tricky as you can get with an Orochi.
I know the game well enough by now.
I have my good games.
But some nights you just scream, "I have to stop playing this garbage!"
When you just get robbed time and time again by his weakness against the vast majority of characters in the game.
When you slice them up to hell and back, and in any fair world they should have been dead by then, and they still have 25% to 30% health and take you from 100% to dead in a three strike chain, never ending combo, exc...
Or when you can't get in striking range without getting instantly slapped up.
He's not an assassin
He's a weak vangaurd crippled by reflex blocking.
The rest of your assassins and hybrids, I don't argue your thread at all.
