Am I the only one that finds the irony between the OP's name and their Centurion complaint funny?

yes

back when cent was new and the first 3months of his existence was when he could drain 100% of health in one wall splatting combo. GB throw into wall then punch but do not charge the punch then you get a free heavy of the wall then charge a heavy and soft feint into GB because most will try to dodge then throw back into wall and repeat until dead. so when people still moan about him now I just laugh thinking thank god he wasn't still the way he was in season 2 and 3

The problem with Cent even now though is the potential punish for one mistake costs the majority of heroes half their HP. Which is possible for a lot of heroes but that only applies to an OOS punish while your opponent is on the ground. Cent doesn't need an OOS punish to do a ridiculous amount of damage. I'm not saying he's really hard to counter, but no character should be able to that over one mistake.

im not sure which direction they are going in with the balacing(i.e 1v1 or 4v4s) but i can tell you that if you want to bring back life to this game it will definitely depend on 4v4 which everyone wants to play with their friends in the beginning, and with the current state of the unblockables,wall stuns, and perma screen white. characters like centurion in domination it wont happen. 1v1 has a lot more space which you can dodge and wait for him to attack but if he ganks you with that "VORTEX" yes you are dead

I thought the same exact thing! Even considered paying it, myself, but decided is probably get jumped on for trolling. So glad you did though. :P

As a player who plays 4s regularly, you are so off base with this.
First off, Centurion is no where near the power house he used to be 2 seasons ago. He is also no more difficult in group fights than any other hero. Every group fight is about positioning, I can think of three heroes right now off the top of my head that give me more trouble than most Centurion. Valkyrie, Shugoki, and Raider can be more hazardous in a good group. Also what vortex? I've never heard of Centurion having anything choose to that.. O think maybe you'd benefit from going and picking him up and practicing his moves so you can recognize them easier.

The OP doesn’t need to have the for honour dictionary on hand to get his point across without the dismissive response. Cent is not a great design for this game. 1v1 he isn’t great and 4v4 he’s an awful fit. I honestly think cent needs a rework from the ground up.

OP is also 100% right regarding new players and the free weekend. Put a decent cent player in with any of them and welcome them to what will seem like the most frustrating character on the planet.

This. Dont be a troll and thank you Kelson.

1v1 he isn’t great and 4v4 he’s an awful fit.

This right here is the reason so many players argued for well over dozens of pages of posts in season 2 and that argument is still going on right now in season 5.

People playing Centurion in 1v1 will say everything he does is easily counterable and they are right. In 1v1, Centurion is on the weak side of the meta.

People playing against Centurion in 4v4 will say he's able to "close a gank" faster and easier than any other character in the game with that unblockable pin knockdown combo. They are also right.

I honestly think cent needs a rework from the ground up.

Centurion is weak in 1v1 and overpowered / annoying in 4v4. He indeed needs a complete rework. You can't have a hero that's polarized like that, he'll never be balanced in both modes.

It is also the case with most other heroes ... some shine more in duels, some shine more in 4v4. But with Centurion, the difference between modes is HUGE.

That same thing can be said about any character used by a competent player vs a noob. Since when do we have to cater to players who don't know game mechanics? Just because you can squash a fresh player with your chosen hero does not mean he needs a nerf. If that's the case we should just nerf the entire game to cater to new players.

[Kelson27]

I never said he needs a nerf, I said if anything he needs a buff and a rework.

The problem with cent vs other characters is that most of the time, it feels like you were outplayed and can take it on the chin. Cent feels like a cheap and nasty “so what happened?” moment, and in 4v4 that moment turns into “so I couldn’t respond and everyone can hit me?”. It’s pretty telling that most deaths to cent end with a leap of free damage, that’s just not a fun fight. I don’t disagree that a good player will pick apart a new player regardless, happens all the time. But cent doesn’t play the same rules.
