Game is way too unbalanced. | Forums

Yeah it's a fighting game that is getting less about fighting every season, orochi and shinobi have a level 1 feat that drains all stamina and stuns, it's an I win button removes all skill and fun from a fight and it's so easy to land, you can roll away from knights flux bomb, raider and cent can take your stamina if they work for it so why can orochi just take it all with the press of a button then spam light attacks for days even if you get a lucky block he keeps the chain going, it's so broken.

Then we have aoe feats that kill instantly and lawbro bombspam is insane, I don't get why make a fighting game that takes skill and add I win buttons? I want to fight with skill not press a button and1 shot the whole team, ubisoft just move orochi level 1 feat to level 2 swapping places with throwing star, then nerf all level 4 feats in damage by 50% for now just to make the game play better.

There is a player end solution to ridiculous feats swinging a whole match, well somewhat at least. It's called Tribute mode. Unfortunately the majority of the playerbase don't like modes where the objectives are more important than mindless ganking with super powered one shot kills.

If that were the case then how do you explain Clutchmeister recently winning the console tournament? He came from PC and in addition he had to re-train himself on controller because he uses mouse and keyboard.

Feat balance will happen when Ubisoft sees a Unicorn.

And yes, there are many, many pixel bot cheaters in this game. They auto-block and auto- counter guard break. Since the game rewards heavily turtle gameplay, even after the parry changes, the game has become very boring. I never play duels, my jaw can't take more yawning.

For a while, I've been saying any ranked mode needs to be made "realistic" (without any attack / guard break indicators). Otherwise, those pixel bot cheaters keep screwing up the game for the rest of us.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU'RE FACING A PIXEL BOT CHEATER : IN DOMINION

#1 : Pick Shinobi with the stealth feat.

#2 : Circle around their team and throw a ranged guardbreak in their back, get counter guard broken.

#3 : Call out the enemy on pixel bot cheating and receive the same answer they all use :
"I can hear you throw the ranged GB".

#4 : Circle around their team and throw a ranged guard break, but against a target next to the cheater

#5 : Notice the cheater "hears you", but he is NOT whiffing a guard break in the air ...

#6 : Over the whole course of the game, notice this behavior is consistent over multiple ranged GB used against him and not against him.

Conclusion : He's using a pixel bot cheat. When he's the target of the guard break, a red shield appears on his screen and the pixel bot inputs the counter guard break ; when he's not the target of the guard break, no red shield appears on his screen and his character does nothing.

At high elo, I see this way, way too often. Unfortunately, even with a video, it's not definitive "proof" that player is cheating and Ubisoft does nothing about it.
