Is there really any point in revenge anymore? | Forums

[Charmzzz]

I agree that Revenge itself is balanced, and is a great tool. Helped me more times than I can count. But if you remember in Season 2 it started to become more and more inconsistent with popping it when needed to, it just wouldn't happen. It got better after a bit, but now its returning to the same state. That is the main problem right now. I was used to attacks bouncing off me in Season 3 on activation, now I'm not getting the same outcome as I was a month ago.So my point is, it may be in a good spot, but how good is that spot when it doesn't work when you need it too?

Could be related to the timesnap removal, dont you think? We can just hope that their "lag compensation" system will be good. My PK suffers from timesnap removal pretty hard, soft-feinting heavy into GB is not possible in chains since they removed it.

Revenge doesn’t work anymore. It’s conpeletely rubbish. I activate it and it doesn’t knock down anybody or you parry with revenge it doesn’t knock down anybody.

Interesting opinions here. I don’t leg it if I’m on revenge or ganked. Anyway there is no way you can leg it if they have Aramusha it Shaman in their team. Aramusha light attack spam will stagger you or Shaman will cover half of the map with one jump. She even run faster than any other hero in the game with tribute on her back.

Revenge is broken. GB system is rubbish. I have so many occasions I wait for it and I press CGB or I press GB before other guy it doesn’t work. Heroes do moonwalk and commit suicide. Attacks go through your block. They completely broke the game...

One thing I don't like about revenge mode is getting guard broken. I mainly play 4v4 modes and if I'm getting it from 2 or more and I activate revenge to get out of being hammered. While one is attacking and I block that one the other guy hits me with guard break and its a free heavy for both attackers. It would be nice in 4v4 modes to to have immunity to GB during revenge. It's their to help you survive being out numbered. Kensei has a feat that does this so it would help now with the light spam heros.

They should make separate modes. One with revenge and another without. I have to concede. There are some players who just seem to block almost everything. And the only way you can kill them is if you two on one them. But with the revenge option. They just become super human. Increased armor, increased attack damage. Right when you are about to kill them. Bam, revenge again.

I am with you on this one Charmzzz. Overall, i feel like revenge is in a good spot. Obviously it will have to do with the build as well. Before it was crazy good then they made it completely crap but now it seems in the middle somewhere.

Revenge mode was designed so you can have a chance to survive when you are ganked.

They changed it in a way you can’t activate it if you are blocking or when you are taking damage or you are on the ground.

So how are you going to activate it if you are ganked by four people because you are constantly blocking?

Bigger issue is in revenge mode your attacks are supposed to be uninterruptible? But I had few occasions I couldn’t attack coz of Aramusha light attack spam or even being ganked coz I’m constantly taking damage but I am unable to attack coz their attacks stagger me in revenge mode.

Isn’t revenge pointless anymore fighting against a group?

There is also this stupid thing when I parry an Aramusha in revenge mode they don’t fall to ground coz of their feat. Isn’t it against the mechanics of this game? Parry is supposed to give me max punish but they rendered that. So what do I do? Just block or evade?

I kinda agree with your feelings on Aramusha. His Rock Steady feat is OK for normal throws, but when someone activated revenge and he attacks, it should knock him down.

Those were awesome, nicely played; though I gotta point out they're dated September and October, that was before the patch 1.15 in November and before timesnap removal, I believe. I think patch 1.15 brought some changes to Revenge, as patch 1.15 messed up quite a few things.

Cool videos nevertheless.

Does revenge even work?

Ive popped my revenge so many times just for it not to work properly and i still end up dying.
Ive used it right before they attack so they get dropped and nope they are still attacking me
IVe used it right before they do something else to me and i still get gb in mid animation but when i try to do it to them i just bounce back
Ive used it and cant even attack because im being staggered when i shouldnt be because im in revenge but when im fighting someone who is in revenge they are still able to attack no matter how many times me or my teammate swing at him this player wont stagger

Is the because of a gear stat that affects revenge or is this something else.
