I was playing a game with my friend and we trapped a Nobushi into a corner with a random. We attack simultaneously at the same time with fast-attack characters and she blocked EVERY SINGLE HIT WITH NO DAMAGE!! Then the enemy team ganked us one of them just HAD to have full revive speed and practically insta-revive his team mates.
Can you PLEASE fix this BS with the guard system cause it's not fair if one person can block 3-4 PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY SOMEHOW AND BE ABLE TO COUNTER ATTACK!!!! Please make switching between guard positions rapidly take stamina cause that sort of BS is not just unfun to play against, but insanely broken if people are playing with turbo controllers or just randomly spamming their controller; I say this because this is extremely unfair on starting level players like myself with the already broken matchmaking system. My team was pitched up against a team who had weapon grades of over 50+ and had prestiged their characters at least 2-4+ times with one of them having prestiged I believe 14.

If you hit someone's guard, it will make their guard a fullblock for a split second, instantly blocking everything else. The same is true for parrying. It's because it would be impossible otherwise to block two attacks at the same time, which would make ganking much more easier (even easier than it is right now, you can just hit through your team mates to score damage). I suggest you should go for unblockables, guardbreakes and feints for the next time, it's extremely hard to block, parry, counterguardbreak and dodge against multiple opponents at the same time. Spamming attacks against the opponents' guard just feeds revenge, and the nobushi is exceptionally good against multiple opponent with her wide attacks.

welcome to (no) for honor
Ubi rly dont care about balance, fairness or anything. you can insult extremely and nothing happens. Ubi just abonded this game. the next fraction that comes is just ********. i bet its not more then a big cashgrab thing. the only thing you can do: uninstall and never buy an ubi game again bcause they are just ruin every game which has a good idea (and yes i bet the division 2 will be a huge fail)

Most of the community enjoys this game, the developers just announced big, totally new contents (yeah, they are abandoning the game), and they are listening to the community (some of the balance changes suggested in this forum went through to the game). The game has issues, and will always have issues, but it's really fine.
Since your main problem is "no honor", I guess your real problem is losing and the inability to handle it. You can thrashtalk about the game all you want, but there is only two options for you:
1. Accepting that losing is not the developers', cheaters', dishonorable opponents', or the server fairies' fault. It's mostly yours, because you made mistakes (assuming that all players all the time will follow an honor code that 4-5 youtubers designed during the beta counts as a mistake too). After you learned to take the Ls, you can learn how to go for the Ws. And if you find something that is really an unfair mechanic, you might suggest a change for that in a more polite tone.
2. Uninstall, never buy an ubi game again, and play something you consider quality and doesn't anger you.
You will pick one sooner or later, the sooner it is, the happier you will be. Since you keep posting for a week now, I assume you like this game after all, so I suggest to pick the first option.

The thing is, I've been in that exact situation before- over 12 times if I remembered correctly where I block in one direction only to, pardon my French, get raped from all matter of sides by the other team ganking and doing the exact same thing we did. With either reflex guard characters or perma-guardable characters, not once have I ever gotten this instance where when either I or my friend would block from simultaneous attacks and even barrages of attacks; I've tried quickly switching between guard positions; spamming the Right-stick like the other no-skill spam players, but no way I've tried allowed me to get this full-block unless I was using a character with the full-block like Valkerie, Aramusha or Warlord. Also, in some other matches, people were able to instantly block 3 attacks in quick succession from 3 different people at 3 different times- focusing on me, unable to see someone to the side or from behind, blocking me from the front, blocking from the side then blocking from behind like they knew they were their- AND AT THE LAST SECOND WITH REFLEX GUARD!!
Something I found personally, probably something that's already been tackled already, is how people with reflex guard have a slightly slower guard-position switch time while playing between them; I felt as though after guarding against an attack with both types, perma-guard types are able to switch guard positions a bit faster than reflex-guard characters. It's probably mostly cause I'm just starting out that I'm just stupid and most-likely not having such a good time guarding with reflex characters even though they're mostly who I play with since they tend to be the most mobile and fun to fight with in combat- against a good player/spammy player/clearly unfairly OP player of much higher rank it can get HORRENDOUSLY painful. But I don't usually have a problem playing as Reflex characters since I feel like it adds an element of surprise to make it easier to keep an opponent on their toes for an approaching attack. Plus I'm pretty good at parrying at low-level play; most times I take damage are after guard breaks, BS near-instant light-attacks that you can't react to unless you predict or some shiz, being ganked (which is around 85% of my gameplay from and against cause y'all know why) or spam attacks that have cancels in them (I'M LOOKING AT YOU ARAMUSHA).
But thanks for the help- I'll try some other characters- preferably ones with perma-guards and more unblockables, guard breaks and stuns while still fun to play with and against.

Honestly, I'm not that bad of a sore loser; try playing with an elitist perfectionist friend who practically hates losing and blames you for not being able to help them and hold your own when you died right before their eyes 10 seconds before hand and had just respawned when they died against an entire team of either trolls, tryhards or high-ranked players. While I do hate the whole "no honor" BS players bring to dominion, sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. I like them game, but like other players from other games where developers are doing practically nothing to improve the game and make it better (coughcough TF2 coughcough), you have to make it better on your own with the community who want the game to get better. I'm only starting out on the game anyway so with the broken matchmaking, characters I need to learn, gameplay I gotta master, the gameplay exploits- i.e. learning combos, the maps, gameplay mechanics and my character's abilities on my own to get in and out of any trouble I get myself into. Again, while I do currently dislike the spammish nature of some charachters and the annoyance of getting overpowered by U******** like unexplained game mechanics and not wanting to look up guides like everyone else to learn mechanics and strategies to overpower enemies in combat cause Ubishiz, I'm still just an underleveled player complaining about something that's most-probably not a problem anyway in higher-levels of gameplay. So yes, I'll be taking the swings full-force, and I'll be alright with it and get used to it over time, but what's gonna be a pain in the *** is my friend who literally started the game at the same time as me but goes for the gameplay guides, strategies, etc. and hates losing pretty hard.

First, I did not meant to send the second one to you, it was for the other guy if it was misunderstandable.
From what you have said, your problem might be that you are trying to parry when you are outnumbered. Against unblockables, you don't have much choice, but against normal attacks, you should go only for blocks, wait for your revenge, then wait for the right moment to activate it. I don't know what characters you are playing, but from the reflex guard, I think it is some kind of assassin (my tip is either orochi or shinobi, you wrote the fast ones). Try to block if outnumbered, try to position that way that your opponents can't cut off all your ways, then, when you have revenge, use it to knock down one or two and escape. Even if you die at the end, you win tremendous time for your team to play the objective (though there is no good solution against gank squads, that's the meta atm). If you try to outnumber someone, you can win the most easily by one of you spamming external guardbreaks. Even if they counter it, there is a small window when they can't do anything. Unblockable bashes mostly do the job too. There are video guides out there about team fights and ganks, they are quite easy right now if you all pay attention to each other and the opponent.
