I have a question for the devs concerning Shaman...
Who in the blue hell decided it was okay to put this character in the game? She has to be the most broken character in all of for honor. Her entire moveset is Godly. I used to HATE playing shinobis in duel, now whenever i see I'm going up against a shinobi, i pray with relief that it isn't Shaman.
I mean let's actually go through her sets.
1.) She has multiple bleed attacks, and bleed feints.
2.) Able to heal on blood trance activation
3.) Speed of light attacks are unreactable
4.) Wild Cats rage is an extreme heavy while being the speed of a nobushis light attack
5.) Predators mercy can track you from behind the bushes from across the map... or different game mode.
6.) She's able to cancel her unblockable left heavy REALLLY late into the sequence into a guardbreak. I can already see the unblockable fire symbol around her arm and she's STILL able to soft feint it to a guard break
7.) I'm pretty sure she throws the furthest of all regular throws when she catches you in GB (with the exception of raider and valkyries charged headbutt, which I'm pretty sure has the same distance as shamans regular throw)
8.) She has a guaranteed heavy from nearly any possible route when she guard breaks someone.
9.) All of her dash attacks are considered heavy while being lightning fast, meaning it has the speed of a light attack which when she hits you with it, can actually execute you.
10.) The way that she can just cancel Predators Hunger/Mercy into wildcats rage or cancel into guardbreak is too overwhelming.
11.) She can literally start ANY of her chains from a dashing attack
12.) When she enters revenge mode, best defense is to pray.
13.) Her Predators hunger is spammable in the same manner centurions wall splat was.
14.) Her 2 hour cutscene when she's biting you leaves you open to attack from incoming enemies
15.) The fact that she heals with every successful attack while you're bleeding is stupid OP, considering your hero can cut themselves and bleed from her Mohawk style hair...
I mean, i thought it was quite clear the fans didn't want this type of character in the game when centurion came out. Now you've nerfed him into the ground, the original roster is completely useless, which sucks for those rep 40 wardens and orochis and raiders, only to be toppled by this thing called the Shaman.
You don't need data, you don't need time to see how the character reacts to the season 4 players, you don't need the feedback of other for honor players (even though the entire first 3 pages all talk about how shaman is too op)... you need to do a better job balancing your heroes.
For honor grabbed a lot of recognition when there was a 'play for free' weekend on Xbox Live, which I'm pretty sure drove players to buy the game, only to be met with characters like shaman and shinobi and berserker.
Please please please, ubisoft... fix this mess. It's a complete embarrassment to have made such a mistake in the season 1 characters, only to make the SAME mistake with the season 4 characters 100 times worse. Pathetic...
