Centurion - His entire kit needs a balance rework | Forums

[C4Phaze]

Hyper Armor, Unblockables, charging heavies, heavily tracking heavies, knockdowns and free dmg, heavy stamina drain. This hero has it all except a side dodge attack and deflect. And the cut-scenes dear lord the cut-scenes... You might as well just put your controller down if a Cent gets a GB or hit off you.

Fighting Cents is always unrewarding and just a period of annoyance. Like trying to swat a mosquito that keeps bugging you. It sucks the fun out of the game almost entirely and ever since the recent completely necessary buff there's been an infestation of centurions in Dominion. Hell even in duels its like every 2-3 games will match me against one.

Someone please call pest control.

I can manage barely manage dealing with the average cent simply because how easily accessible his stamina draining unblockable knockdown + pounce combo is. Now when I come across a cent that's half competent its more time saving and less frustrating to just sit there and do nothing or straight out quit and jump into the next match or just turn the game off entirely

But in all seriousness the balance issues and especially the gladiator and centurion have driven a number of my friends away from the game. That's the irritating part. That a blatant balance issue like this is being defended while it drives potential new players away.

Centurion hasn't been a balance problem for awhile. He got nerfed sometime after season 2 making it harder to access his cutscene combo and loss of his infinite wall punish. And then the most recent changes with season 5 meant even off of a parry he couldn't do his cutscene combo. If you're struggling against centurion in this day and age it's your skill that's an issue. Not centurion. He's considered widely underpowered by most of the community.

Frustrations with Centurion are a pretty normal and regular thing to bring up. If you haven't already, try playing as Centurion in Training Mode. A lot of the problems players have with Centurion stem from not knowing where the exits to his combos are or not knowing what he needs to do to set those combos up. All of that is something that wouldn't be readily apparent by playing against him, as I definitely faced a lot of personal frustration with the hero game after game around the time he was first released.

We also have a few regular Centurion players around the forums as well that might be able to explain some of finer points of his weaknesses.

I feel like Cent mains have been having hard time lately. All I see is the same damn mix up. It's light hit, feint heavy to gb, EVERY....SINGLE....TIME... just be ready for the feinted light/heavy gb, they have to have the gb to do nearly anything. They will also try the same thing again and again and again. If you can cgb, it resets the fight in your favor. Hope this helps

I actually have Centurion as one of the worst characters right along side of Aramusha, Shugoki, and Valkyrie.

one thing you gotta remember is just always be prepared to Counter GB, literally don't dodge too much, block and prepare to CGB and stay away from walls thats the most important thing because what does he have with out his GB not much, unblockables are easily parried, charged heavies are easily blocked. If he lands a pinned heavy or a GB then thats just your fault for not being quick enough. His kicks now no longer stun and are easily read along with his punch so you can dodge easily and get a free GB. Im a rep 13 cent and sometimes I struggle against them but along as I CGB and time my attacks right then they aren to much of a threat. ok yes his stamina draining can be annoying but just stay back and prepare to CGB.

Does he even get is cutscene from parry counter into wallsplat? I mean the only way for cent to get his cutscene is from gb into wallsplat or charged heavy, none of those are real issues since parry changes, I haven't seen him in action with the new chains tho.

Shouldn't newbies complaining about Centurion be a meme by now?

He's one of the worst heroes in the game, needs a buff not a nerf.

One could say the same thing about the Peacekeeper. And it has been weakened.

Comparing the strongest hero in the game to Centurion...
