    Buff aramusha and nerf conqueror already!!!

    I am constantly being annoyed by playing a super weak character playing against a SS tier character. I mean ubisoft, are you serious? You're just sitting there doing nothing? Is a buff and a rework that hard that it takes alot of patches and months? In fact let me explain to you on my experiences against a conqueror as an aramusha. The main strength and weakness at the same time of the aramusha is feint of heavy finisher to light. Yeah, against noobs that is your strength. And against creeps. Against skilled players that is your weakness especially to a conqueror. His chain is so predictable from side to top. That by just putting your guard up is enough and when blocked you are staggered so long that the enemy can immediately attack you. Then you feint the heavy finisher to light. That's where the full block comes. If you are blocked by just one then an unblockable, undodgeable sure hit 44 damage will hit you. I can feint it to gb but come on, players also knows that right? Then here comes the light chain. They come in any direction plus adding the reflex guard is very hard to block in ps4, unlike aramusha who needs side top side top which is a stupid idea. Both have the same speed of 500ms. Then here is his SB with varying speed. Some needs to dodge early some needs to wait and if you dodged very early and they delayed it. It will track you, even Son Goku after using teleportation technique can be tracked. SB only takes small amount of stamina so it can be spammed (hell, they added report player option for spamming but they allow it ingame). When you are lucky dodging it on prediction (console guys) then you are happy by the glorious thought of an opportunity of damage by gb. But no, the recovery is so small that they can easily cgb your gb. Worst of it, i have been in a match against a conqueror in dominion and at the execution of his SB, both of us having a spickle of health left, i dodged it and was happy to press gb. Hell, he immediatly executed a light nullifying my gb. So he can still execute a light immediately right after a SB that depeletes his stamina. Sounds cancerous to me. Devs said that nothing is wrong in his a SB speed and in duel he is very good but dominion he is almost useless. I think it's the other way around. In duel you could focus on the conquerors move without thinking of other enemies. But in dominion, with a fast executing SB plus the reflex guard or block animation. His SB is a sure hit so if you're in an edge and the conqueror is with somebody then just give up the game and wait 15s. I am saying this from an aramusha player playing on a ps4 fat. If you want to make the conqueror that way then buff the aramusha by making his light chain to any direction. Give him hyper arnor on his chains even on heavy finisher feints. Heavy finisher is unblockable. Then he's good to go.

    As an Aramusha main, I'd like to see a buff coming his way. Unblockable heavy finishers would be way too much though because he is going into his finisher constantly.
    Personally I'd like for them to give him hyper armor on his forward dash side heavy (like his dashing top heavy), Give him a side dash attack, make his zone deadly feintable, reduce the blade blockade recovery time, make his deadly feint lites 400ms (pretty much like zerk has) and return his dodge recovery back to 500ms or be able to cancel his recoveries with a dodge.

    One question. Did you try to block conqueror's light or parry? Blocking light is easyer and also stop the chain if it was on the right time.

    Buff Conq? Are you trolling? You want to buff one of the strongest, if not the strongest hero in the game who has the highest win rate of 60%?

    I agree, Aramusha is really fun to play but becomes useless against a Lawbringer or any shield characters

    I agree aramusha needs a buff, I love his play style and concept behind him but it doesn't compete against skilled players and full block players

    We'll see if he needs changes or not after the win matrix for S6 is out. In S5 he was kind of in a good place, a bit over the baseline even.
