Ive noticed while fighting kensei’s in dominion that the only attacks they throw out are the dodge heavy attacks making it pretty hard to actually be aggressive against them. Even after you parry that attack a few times kensei players stand by that move religiously and spam that hell out of it. Ive stopped trying to throw attacks at kensei users and just let them get parried to death off that move. I thought they reworked kensei but i havent see anything different from him.

He’s actually capable of quite a lot now, unfortunately that seems to be the safe and spammable attack they get away with in 4v4.

He's always been able to be played like that in 4v4s or even in 1v1s by low skilled players who only do spam. You're probably seeing the "bandwagoners" who only picked up Kensei because he's the current flavour of the month, which they think will give them free wins. Same type of players that picked up Centurion, Shinobi, Gladiator and Shaman when they just came out because they thought the class will do all the work for them.

Enjoy tearing them apart via parries, they'll either learn how to use more of the Kensei's kit or move on to whatever character they think will give them easy wins.

I always send these kensei spammers little messages at the end of games warning them about how easy it is to parry them when they only have 2 moves but they never seem to care about it.

I have to admit, that is how I easily defeat most of players in 4v4. It was easy for the most part, plus inconsistencies when blocking Kensei attacks and that is way I won't be playing Kensei for some time. Too easy compared to my other heroes.

Also, because of his reach, it is very hard do get away from dodge attacks. Maybe not a popular opinion, but being a Vanguard, he didn't really needed dodge attack . It would be difficult with the weapon he is using and the fact is that he is the only hero in it's class that can do that which makes no sense considering the fact that longsword would be more practical for that type of attack.

Literally watched a Kensei beat my team 1v3 while he only used his dodge attack. In fact, that Kensei used just the dodge attack for that whole game. Like, okay spamming is bad, but at some point it's on you for not at least being able to block it right?

His dodge attack you speak of possesses the property of "invincibility frames". That is to say, doesn't matter what the f**** you throw at him or how sweeping your attack may be, it's gonna pass through his happy @$$ like he's nightcrawlered into an alternate dimension during your attack to reappear nanoseconds later and punish you for not being an X-men.

But past days this attack were light. Now it's heavy and with 180 gear stats deal a way more damage. Tried Kensei in Dominion and should say I could kills shamans and 2-3 opponents just spamming this move.

But problem is that Kensei now REALLY give you easy win. Maybe it's just me, but I win 4 matches with Kensei, got 12-20 kills each and feel no hard to crush everyone. And that was my first attempt play Kensei since season 1. I did't do something special, but just lights, dodge heavy and his zone. And I see only two full turtle guys who really could do something with his dodge heavy.
