Kensei is broken | Forums

Titel says it all, nothing more to say.
Fix it quick.

I think you should extend this topic to get a serious answer. Which moves are broken? Which ones should be fixed or removed?

I will extend it for him then. There is no question about the fact that this hero got way over reworked. Honestly his the jack of all trades now. Doge/fast attacks like assassin, hit hard like a raider/highlander. Quick light spam? I mean the doge swing like zerker/orochi/shaman is insane but on steroids since he hits you like 8 tiles away. While i have no issue with the damage there is no reason how this character can have unlockable and leap zerker/shaman like attack that sticks to you. Warlord can leap and hit but he won’t stick to you like glue. Is this an assassin or a vanguard? because obviously the made him like a assassin. I think he is very mutch broken, his attacks can strangely connect and you stand there like wow, he was like a couple tiles away and he still hit me, not sure if it’s his heavy or light attacks that still hit you when when you around him when he’s fighting others others, so that feels like AOE damage, imagine any short range classes trying to engage while his swinging at the ally. Now getting hit through block is a mystery to me, something like Nobushi had a while back that she was able to hit you through block it happened tons of times to me. I mean if people are saying this hero is balanced then I am not sure what to make of current player base of For Honor. It's frustrating

Since his rework, there have been several players that have brought forward concerns with Kensei's balance. While there are currently no announced balance changes coming to Kensei, the team has been monitoring how his rework has effected his balance in-game. Should we have any changes to announce, we'll be sure to let players know!

Plese Ubi be smart.

All these cry babys are ridiculous. You just gave Kensei his Soul back and he is just fine now. He isn`t OP and he isn`t boken !!!!
Those guys lose a few fights against real good Kensei players and they are crying for a nerf?! omg

Don t nerf Kensei...!!

What the hell how can u complain about kensei ? His side dodge attacks are so easily blocked . His stamina depletes ridiculously fast and his heavies are slow. U ppl cry about every hero that gets reworked . Kensei needs to be like this to keep up with the shaman/zerk/highlander/ . So what if he is a vanguard then what lets make him useless so we can play only assasins right? Ubi dont take into consideration all these carebears and crybabies ..u guys have the data u know better but to say that kensei is OP is too much. U guys need to bring other chars into the S tier with the shaman / zerk / etc like valk , warden , warlord . And btw that hyper armor broke the game ...my opinion it should be removed from all chars ...it ruins the pvp and it`s totally unrealistic. No matter how big u are or what armor u use ..if u get hit ...u gonna feel it

Everybody complaining about shaman ( for months now) and berserk and still i see no changes. U have almost endless possibilities with shaman unlike all other chars so either fix it somehow or bring the other chars to her level.

Don't worry, their data will be much more efficient than you calling people crybabies. Looks like you gave away who you main. If he can hit you through a block that means there is a bug ain't? His "Heart & Soul" does not mean clear advantage to other classes.

" the team has been monitoring how his rework has effected his balance in-game".

So we will made some change to him in 5 months or more, when we release another broken character to sustain the balance problem longer.

The only thing broken is your dead character after my Kensei killed him.
