The WORST part about For Honor | Forums

[KnightRider_69]

The worst part about For Honor is Dominion. It's essentially 1v4, where the objective is to get ganked as little as possible. There used to be a Revenge system in place, where multiple people attacking one person was tactically unwise, but "balancing changes" broke that.

I'd like to not play Dominion, but that is the only mode left where wait times aren't several minutes long.

Do I have the solution to this problem? No, only tears.

Yeah, a Shugoki on a control point accumulating revenge can win a match singlehandedly.

I still like Dominion though, but there should be certain changes. In the case of revenge, there should be longer cooling system.

Which game are you playing?
A Shugoki with revenge is not more dangerous than without.
And for the cooldown part: No. You should be able to get revenge more often instead because deathballing is an annoyig strategy

I think he means when a shug goes in revenge mode grabs an opponent puts him on the ground and swings a charged heavy. If the other opponent try to attack the shug at this time the receive massive damage to. I can kill sometimes about three opponents doing this and it's unparryable. It's not op though cuz all the opponents have to do is wait out the revenge or attack when shug is in recovery.

Then I leave this person alone Nothing hurts more than a Shugoki unblockable in revenge.

I agree with the original Post. The death balling strat needs to dealt with IMMEDIATELY. It is game killer. There was another game I played before it closed down a while back called Paragon. For the first year the deathball start was so prevalent and bad that players left in DROVES, and the devs eventually had to stop development on other things and focus on creating a way to deal with it so taht the game wouldnt become a no skill gankfest.
This game is currently dealing with this problem. I can 2 v 1 nicely, SOMETIMES 3 v 1 MAYBE. But CONSISTENTLY 3v1 4v1.... this is bad.
There needs to be SEVERE penalties for players attacking the same player. force players to take their turn in fighting more than 2v1.

Well, making the maps larger or provide more than 3 control points would kind of fight deathballing as the teams would benefit more to actually spread up and hold zones. However even at its current stage I enjoy dominion. I also love the 1vX moments but I do not rush in headlessly on a point where all 4 opponents are and instead go for other places right away. I also think revenge is currently pretty fine. It was stated quite a while ago that it is meant as a defensive tool to actually to try and get away or to be able to hold out a little bit more. Last thing is most important in dominion as it increases your chances to get backup. For that it is fine. Singlehandedly taking down teams easily can be possible depending on your surroundings and character but also multifight skills (there are quite a few people who are pretty good at it - better learn from them) but not as easy it once was. Which is good. Revenge builds were the meta back in the day and if you look at how fast most people get revenge due to gear stats you wouldn't want the old revenge to be in place.

Dominion is meant to be a team game mode. Go and play it like that. Otherwise maybe elimination is just the right game mode for you. People are needed there and apparently there are quite a few who liked it.

I have a solution. Get other players to follow request orders, and play Dominion as a team instead of solo. Better teammate communication, i.e. more text, or use mics.

u realize that this is as utopic as communism on paper right? where the hell can people find friends in this game. it has the worst social interface seen in a triple a game

All they need to do is take away ALL small maps in Dominion. Why? because you can easily beat deathball match ups if you have a bigger map so that wherever they go, you just run around to the other points and take them with ease and stand on said bases until they come back around. Rinse and repeat as such. But with over half the maps being such very very tiny maps that promote deathballing, its very disheartening to play in those matches. And tbh, i'll usually just quit out of the game entirely and reload to pick up a new match because why not? Im here to have fun at the same time. Not be stuck in a 1v4 the whole game. And they've nerfed revenge so much that nobody actually cares if you get it anymore. Shaman and shugo will just pounce on you anyways because for some odd reason you can still be knocked back or down or grabbed while in revenge. lol So dumb
