He doesn't belong in the game. There shouldn't be range attacks in this game besides feats.Originally Posted by ChampionRuby50g Go to original post
I actually agree here, hate him, melee combat game, ranged attacks. Nothing worse than getting GB'd from out of the screen and slashed 4 or 5 times.
He's here now though, and he's here to stay, if he didn't get his HP buff it would be bareable, most Shinobi's are trash, and I mean 90%, when you get up against those 10% though it's insanely hard to kill them and in team modes, they are infuriating.
Not gonna play him as I don’t like any of the Samurai heroes and never will play any. So just save time and say what it is. There will be other players who have no idea what your talking about too, so don’t just come complaining to the forums and not say what it is your complaining about with the excuse “don’t waste my time”
Why even make a thread in the first place then?
But yes, Shinobi is one of the most infuriating heroes to fight due to the range, which gives the Shinobi the power to control the entire fight. Looks like they are gonna loose? Run away because no one will be able to catch you. Shinobi is last alive? Sprint around the map and waste 3 minutes of everyone else trying to catch you. Stay out of sight and throw ranged attacks and GBs that don’t even appear on your screen. But like B0G said, he’s here to stay and most shinobis are trash.
I can agree how annoying he feels. he's got the mobility and range to control a fight. No other hero uses movement really and that's why he's such a pain to deal with.
However shinobi doesn't have much. and you can counter him completely by waiting and reacting occasionally.
Shin is amazing at passive play. But if you don't give him that he'll have to try and engage you. and he's awful at that.
Shinobi really isn't all that OP.... Just learn to parry and you essentially get either a free light or heavy if within range... Literally dodging left or right as the weapon is thrown nullifies the entirity of the attack... or dodge back... counter guardbreaking the gb throw pulls him to the ground as well..
It's a melee game... Range should not be in this game....
Meanwhile, catapults and grenades and spears and arrows and axes are raining down on all of us... I find those much more annoying.
Honestly, pay more attention to the surroundings. It's no different than getting slammed by a Raider/LB/Conq/WL from the backside.
I just find it funny how people have such tunnel vision... and the hate for any Samurai being a little useful...
