Season 4 rewards unskilled gameplay | Forums

Both new characters rewards spamming even when play at a high level. If this is the design choice going forward then I'm sad to say I won't be supporting this game anymore. The news of old character reworks has be worried that people like Kensei will also be redesigned into mindless button mashers.

Mindlessly mashing buttons gets you killed vs good players with decent network connections.

400ms attacks shouldn't exist period when the shoddy netcode means that it isn't even guaranteed to be humanly reactable 50% of the time

tottaly wrong everything is reactable 100% of time at least at high level of play mashing **** will get you destroyed

Except it isn't when the average human reaction time is 200-250ms, guard switch delay is 100ms, and the latency can add anywhere between 50 and 200ms too. This means even with PERFECT conditions you have 250ms to react to a 400ms attack. This means that with even a little bit of lag it becomes unreactable. And that's a FACT, it's been proven plenty of times, and is the reason why the streamers are dropping the game.

Characters like shaman/aramusha/pk are bad for the health of the game. Period.

Have you tried playing the 2 new characters? You'll find that both actually require some brain power and skill to use. Aramusha is the harder of the two to use imo because he's so easily shut down by just blocking him so you have to learn to think outside of the box in order to beat more experienced players. Shaman is easier to get to know because she has everything but she also becomes incredibly predictable in the hands of someone who just sticks to using her gimmicks only.

Yes, lag is a problem when it occurs but 400ms attacks aren't that much of a problem on PC under normal circumstances. Which streamers are dropping the game? Plenty of the big names are still here and going strong: Zero Craic, Daithe De Nogla, Havoc, Shmolty, Flookerson, Mege, Cartoonz, Tru3Tal3nt, Dear Gamer and others.

Meh. Seems more like they're bad for you because you don't like them.

Stop pretending they're OP without even playing them maybe?

True is barely playing an hour duels per week fo late. He came back for the start of season 4 and has already became sickened by the current state of the game. Sypher and skys have been discontent for awhile too. That's just off the top of my head.
