You never nerfed Centurion... | Forums

[UbiJurassic]

You're talking like he is as slow as a lizard in winter. But once that combo starts, there is very little you can do about it:

As you can see in the video, if you get parried near a wall, you're dead. If you try to backdodge his kick, he hits you anyway.
And if you look closely, you can see that the only time in the fight I had any chance to counter him, was a less than half a second window where if you missjudge(Which is easy to do since you are coming out from a stun), the combo just starts all over again.
So in that whole fight, I had less than half a second to counter him. And yet, you claim that this character needs to be buffed? What do you think would have happened if I had countered him? He would just have gotten another parry off and then BAM, I'd be dead anyway.
You claim he needs to be buffed, I claim ********.

I believe there was a misunderstanding here. I said that current community sentiment around Centurion is that he needs a buff. As far as the balance changes from the team go, the team is still monitoring how the recent Season 5 changes have effected Centurion and are looking at player feedback.

There's no doubt that Centurion is frustrating and that he deals quite a bit of damage. I used to have a rather rough time dealing with him and still do on occasion with higher rep and skill level Centurions. This is why I'm suggesting you give him a try yourself. It makes it far easier to anticipate what Centurion will do and how to bait out certain reactions from them when you know exactly what to look for.

There is no misunderstanding.
He has too much damage, too much stamina drain and too much control in a wallsplatter scenario. Or did you miss the part where he removed 60% of my health from a single parry punish?
There is no way that is fair.
But I've said my piece, I've shown the video, and I will never play the Centurion, I hate everything he is. I will stick to my warden, and await the nerf you are likely going to give them.

I genuinely think that cent is the most discussedbhero in the board. Even more than shaman. The thing is (as ubijurassic said, because centurion was in depth discussed in numerous threads indepth) the key to cent is to know how the combo and setups work. Aure he takes a lot of damage. But only if you let him. His combo strings altho theyg may be strong, have some key points in them that can be his achiles heel... look out for those and you can turn the table

Ok, I would have zero problem if the current game state had no issues and bugs and certain broken mechanics, Unfortunately this is not the case and obviously certain classes benefit from that. Sometimes because of these broken mechanics and bugs a Centurion will blow you up with one combo. Other than that he can be avoided, side doge works for his unblockables but because of terrible networking you don't trigger it in time when you're pressing it. *Cough*

Two things we can get clear from this thread:

1- Don't tell users to "git gut" specially if you are a moderator from Ubisoft and you are just ****ING WRONG. Not cool, man, not cool...
2- Centurion is basically crap, with a killer unstopable combo, which makes him a spammy crap that everybody hates...

Good job Ubisoft, I hope you finally understand you have a lot of work to do with this character also...

They never told him wrong. they gave him some tips as far as what to expect. Also centurion is fine where he is. He is annoying and meant to be that way. At least he does not throw you off anymore and plunge at you after his leap and gb right off the bat like he used to.

Centurion doesn't need a nerf or buff: He needs a full rework.

His current playstyle is 100% reliant on one, single combo. If the Centurion can get his big cutscene move off on you, then you're in trouble. If he can't? You can kill him far too easily. Every single fight with Centurion goes one of two ways: Either he gets you into the combo, destroys your stamina, blinds you and then forces you into an unstoppable, unavoidable, incredibly frustrating combo that will take away most of your health and leave you out of stamina. Or, you'll stop him from getting the combo off and tear him to bits.

Centurion sucks to fight against. I hate fighting him. He's not overpowered, but he's frustrating as hell, annoying and uninspiring. He's a one-trick-pony whose only trick is to piss everybody off.

He needs to be remade from the ground up: Get rid of his wombo combo b.s. Give him some proper health, some proper variety, let him actually be a fun, creative and interesting character to both play as and against. I hate Centurion right now. I refuse to play him and I groan every time I meet one on the battlefield. he isn't fun for anybody outside masochists and trolls.

Totally what ^this guy^ said. This is the post I should have done but couldn't.

Absolutely agree, he is way OP either the grab or the unblockable then your thrown hit on the ground almost dead and with all stamina gone, and thats all they do, they spam that every fight, that needs to be nerfed

[Wretch1d]

He does not need a buff, with that unblockable combo and ground stab which takes almost all your health and then leaves you with no stamina so you are dead anyway, hes OP as it is, an dthast all those players do is spam that combo....needs a buff you must be joking

[Howard_T_J]

Yeah he needs a buff. If it wasn't for that combo he'd be headless sooner. It only delays his death while causing grief. Poor one trick pony

[Veerdin-Wraith]

I'm all for giving Centurion a buff, on the condition that you also get rid of his cutscene move in the process, or at least make it so that you can react to it once it starts. That's really what's so frustrating about it: That sudden realisation of "Oh, well, crap." The moment the Centurion manages to land the opening hit. At that point, you might as well go and make a cup of coffee or something because you sure as hell won't be playing the damn game any time soon.

Taking control away from your players is always a risky move; Nobody likes it. And here we have a character that can not only take control away from you by landing just one hit, but can take that control away for several seconds, decimate your stamina and utterly destroy your HP at the same time. Against lighter characters, the Centurion's cutscene move is often followed up with some quick spam that results in a fast kill on a person who basically can't do anything to stop it.

And let's not forget any fight against multiple people! In 1v1? Sure, I'll grant you that you can learn the timing on Centurion's attacks and just parry/dodge him. But if you're like, oh, I dunno, most of the damn playerbase and you prefer to play in 2v2s and 4v4 fights, suddenly the ability to stunlock somebody following one attack becomes insane! If you're fighting somebody and suddenly a Centurion charges in from stage left, hits you with an attack you had no real way of countering, and then stunlocks you for the next 5-ish seconds? You might as well just get up and leave because while Kicky McCutscene is giving you an impromptu Latin lesson and expanding your options for breathing holes, you can bet your backside his friends are going to be wailing on your prone, helpless, soon-to-be-dead body. Centurion's cutscene deals enough damage by itself! Getting smacked around the whole time will basically ensure that it becomes a one-move-wonder.

Buff Centurion, by all means. Give him more health, more mixups, more defensive and offensive options, more speed, do all of that! He could probably use them! Just so long as you get rid of that annoying combo move.
