Deflect VS Parrying | Forums

[David_gorda]

You are picking at what other people say so I will do the same.

Pros for Parry:
* stops combo
*Reduces Enemy Stamina

*Grants a guaranteed guard break

The ONLY time you said MOST HEROES was the heavy after GB. NOT the gb itself which they were trying to correct you on.

what are you talking about? Deflect doesnt need any buffs, assassins can chose to parry or deflect plus most Of the assassin classes are high tier, like peacekeeper, gladiator and Shaman.

I quoted the wrong person sorry. BUT Deflect does need a buff in terms of stopping the enemy from hitting before your deflect ability hits them.

Asdassins are already overpowered compared to other classes they dont need a deflect buff. Parry doesnt guardbreak against all classes either.

Dude If you're just going to complain just leave bro you're not helping at all, u just look like a troll.

I think you guys are skipping over the part where I said " MOST Heros"
I know it's not all that's why I put MOST and if you meant you can't get guarantee GB on them then you're wrong, I parry them and go for GB and it works every time.

The only time you put MOST was for the free heavy after a GB. There are times when you don't get a free gb off a parry depending on distance of some heroes.

Lol ok Np, yeah i agree if you deflect you shouldnt Get hit. No other buffs though IMO.

Con vs parry: It incentivizes doing nothing but wait for an attack to parry.

Pro vs deflect: Style points, plus countering things like LB Shove -> Light, where I'm pretty sure parry doesn't work.

Which is why they 50/50 into a gb while you try to deflect so you gotta really watch for that light before you dodge.

Or be ready to use your dash attack which will break their GB attempt
