    Nothing but unblockables now

    Came back after almost a year and a half and it seems like all the new characters are just instant unblockables. Is this really what the game is now? Unblockables and Dazes.

    1. Alot of the old cast has "instant unblockables" too: Warlord Headbutt, Warden Shoulderbash, Conq Shieldbash, Lawbringer Shove to name a few.
    2. Yes, the new cast has more unblockables overall. That was one attempt to stop the staring contests that were the Meta for a long time.
    3. Unblockables are counterable and mostly punishable.

    I come back after about 4months or longer and noticed that you have to read your opponents a lot more now, its all about understanding the opp move-set and predicting what they will do next, gone of the days where you can just join a lobby and swing for your life, its a lot more strategic.

    On duel yes its manageable, in 4x4 its too much, its a know issue, this plus the ganking meta.

    4 x 4 (dominion) its not fun anymore.

    Well I still can have fun in 4v4 Dominion. Something where switched in my mind when I start leveling LB. Picture of this huge guy close up to scared gunkers, that try their best and still can't...magnificent!
    I mean, after whole season on Glad I just feel myself parry God with LB.=)

    Feel the same way and I've been playing since the beta. Ubi wanted people to spend more money on the game so naturally the dlc heroes were way better than the og ones. Now that's the bar everyone gets their own spammy combo now with more unblockables and feints. Hooray year 2 "balancing"....

    Uhm, no. The reworked original Characters are Top Tier right now (Zerker, Conq, Kensei). The DLC heroes were way better? Centurion was, got nerfed too late I have to admit. Shaman was too strong, got nerfed within 2 weeks after release. Gladiator and Shinobi were in pretty good spots balance wise on release. Highlander - Trash Tier until the tweaks in S5 were released.

    You are talking trash my friend.

    Apparently you couldn't read the word "WERE"
    As in when they were released. The following sentence stated "now that's the bar" so yeah a cpl og heroes are better now but it's due to the fact they had to be changed to keep up with the dlc heroes...
    This is why there's no community in this game you mfs all thirsty to jump down someone's throat. Sucking yourself off over your own opinion. I am not your friend condescending ***.
