I really love this game but many of my friends who have just started playing find themselves in difficulty because of players much stronger than their skills, and then stop playing after a few days, this obviously does not happen only to my friends but a lot of people who buy for honor, to make these guys too fond of the game should make me a little more focused matchmaking against opponents closer to their skills, this would do well to for honor, I repeat I love this game and and in my opinion one of the most beautiful in recent years and for this reason I do not want to see him die for his particular learning curve, you write also what you think we give some ideas to those of ubisoft to make even new players to play the game
If you can, have them run the story mode, preferably on at least hard. It will each them the basics and make sure to do the Advanced tutorial for free steel. The big issue is that since the game isn't as popular as it was at launch those of us still here are generally pretty high skill, so matchmaking will pair them up with maybe a couple new people but mostly veterans.
Maybe do some matches against bots so they can figure out mechanics better and get some more practice?
They'll begin to figure it out the more they play.
