I have mixed feelings about Shaman, on one hand I hate her... shes FAR TO EASY to play, and really disincentivizes me from playing a class that I put over 50 hours into mastering her one move (Nobushi- Hidden Stance) knowing someone else can hop on, and play Shaman for an hour and do ANYTHING that Nobushi can do with half the effort.
On the other hand, these DLC heroes are kind of my light at the end of the tunnel because I'm hoping all the original characters will have a FULL MOVESET that is viable across ALL LEVELS of play like Shaman, Glad, Shinobi... but when they start nerfing things that dont need to be nerfed (ie: Nobushi's light attacks, the worst and easiest lights to deal with in the entire game) it adds to that disincentive and really dims that light.
In 4v4's I might agree with the post (To an extent) Not having a Shaman on your team puts you at a disadvantage if the enemy has one due to her extremely safe and spam-able cc, extremely strong ledging capabilities, and the best survivability out of all the Assassins.
In 1v1's I disagree, when you're able to focus on the Shaman and dont have to worry about her 3 other teammates interrupting your punish shes not that big of a deal.
Honestly, shes the same as Lawbringer and Nobushi when it comes to being GOOD at 1v1's but GODLIKE at 4v4's. Id say shes slightly better than those two in 1v1's though, due to her having more than 1 or 2 viable moves in her kit. (Copy pasted from another post about Shaman and DLC heroes)
Go make a custom game, fight a bot against the heroes you have an issue with so you can learn their moves (or play them yourself, if you can) it will take a while, patience is key for this game.

How is it even possible that anyone can still say Centurion is overpowered or even good? Jesus, people. Get a clue, and learn his pathetically predictable and easy to counter moveset. He's one of the weakest characters in the game, at the very least the weakest DLC hero.
In fact, it's way more likely he'll be getting buffed in the future, so get used to it.

Any time I see someone complain about centurion now, its because "He gets to half your health of any parry" not sure how true this is, I havent really experienced it.Originally Posted by EvoXTalhante Go to original post
I remember someone saying he gets 65 damage of any parry.

He's the only character that now gets only 25 damage from both heavy and light parry. Think about that for a second.Originally Posted by BTTrinity Go to original post

Ok, i will give my opinion on heroes I consider to be OP or broken, which is sometimes same thing. Keep in mind that I am casual player, with only about 5 months of experience.
Aramusha is the worst one for me. His combination of speed, fainting options and stamina/number of swings per attack is absolutely crazy. Maybe he is ok on PC but on console I simply can't stop him. He doesn't always go for the top one, and even when i get couple of blocks, I still can't stop him and I have to eat half of his hits-and that is best case scenario. After the Gladiator, most frustrating hero to fight agains, atbleast for me.
Gladiator, I hate him. He has too much going on for him. Health, stammina, he can attack from 4 different directions, quick side step attacks, side step stun (like wtf?), multiple unblockables, bleed....he has everything. During my time with For Honor, I did make progress fighting most of the heroes. But I never was able to improve myself versus Gladiator.
Centurion, completely broken. Fight can go only to ways. Or he won't touch me and I will kill him. Or I won't touch him and he will kill me. Simple as that.
Shaman is similar to Gladiator. Too much going on in her favor, being that she is assasin class. I do not mind her fighting in general, but her jump, pounce and bite are ridiculous. She has decent health, but she is fast and deals relatively good damage. With splitting axe and kitchen knife? Yup, that is right.
Shinobi, I hate him so much!!! He just doesn't belong in this game. This game was created around melee fighting, face to face. Having the hero that can kill you without having to be in your reach is one of my biggest complaints when it comes to how developers deal with balancing. While other OP heroes I can tolerate because at least I can get to them, I simply can't tolerate Shinobi. He is the cancer of this game. Even when I kill him, I feel like I lost the fight.
And the last one is PK. Now, full disclosure, I do play as PK occasionally. However, I have to admit that she feels op from time to time. Not when compared to new dlc roster but definitely when compared to og roster. I am not you typical guy, so I will never go for that triple stab, and usually I will only do that once per fight and only one stab. I just enjoy simple yet beautiful sword fight and PK can provide that. However, in wrong hands, she can be one of the most annoying heroes in entire game.
In general, I feel that assasin class is OP. They have too much going on for them and they should deal less damage than they do know. That is my biggest complaint when it comes to balancing different classes. Individually, Aramusha/Gladiator/Shinobi are the worst at least for me.
