I’m not saying Kensei is OP or anything. I never play Kensei maybe every once in a while. But when I do I just do top light or zone or dodge attack into top light. And I win most of the fights. We all know top light is coming from dodge attack but I still everybody getting hit by it. Not sure if hero specific. I only say Raider blocking it so far.
I think having HA on lights are too strong because light attack is fast especially for Kensei it’s faster. I try to interrupt him or hit before coz it’s HA I get hit instead. Also zone is quite strong because it’s instant with HA and can cancel second part into anything. He has a very strong feint game maybe worse than Zerk in a sense. Again not saying OP but points to consider. Oh obviously I find dodging 100 attacks during dodge attack a bit absurd.

Obviously speed of a move is important for how strong it is but that’s not the only factor. It’s mostly depends on that if you are facing one to one from neutral. Both in 4v4 it’s a different story. Kensei can fight one person and do dodge attack while changing target ending up on the other end of the zone. I have to do 5-6 forward dodge to reach him. It’s a very strong move in 6-8 fights even though it’s slow. Again dodging and blocking all attacks in the process. Again not saying it’s OP but points to be aware.

"dodging and blocking all attacks in the process"
Debunked. Except requirement of longer range, his dodge attacks is under effect of all normal dodge attack limitations and can, and often is, hit out of. Furthe, his superior block isnt active once he goes from dodge to the attack part and even then it only blocks attacks from single direction.

He's honestly overtooled.
If they slowed down his top light, W+Spacebar, nerfed his homing because his normals will follow you across the galaxy, and removed his armor I'd be fine.
I've done the double dodge back roll and a Kensei literally slid across the ground a few feet to home in on me and slice me in half, it was ****ing ridiculous.

I can parry the first hit Orochi lights on reaction and most lights in the game.Originally Posted by Siegfried-Z Go to original post
Kensei is seriously overtooled for any of the stuff that he has. You are not even providing counter points anymore you are just now slinging insults.
Unless you have any meat to add or points to counter it's not best for you to comment.

Why slow down his top light? 600ms lights without any special properties shoudnt even exist at this point. Regardless, kensei speed is perfectly average in comparsion to others,
If you can parry standard 500ms lights but cant parry kensei top lighs and dash top lights then thats not because they are too fast, there is some other problem and thats you, Only thing that i can agree is that tracking on his zone is bit over the top but thats honestly all there is. To acces all his mixups he has to go through super slow top heavy. You can hit him out of it with anything 500ms. Further, all his mixups are perfectly reactable, even in average joe's mid tier play. The fact that half of the cast doesnt have proper tools doesnt mean that kensei is overtooled.
No easily spammable unblockable to abuse.
Kensei is honestly one of the, if not THE best balanced character in the game atm.

Yeah and i think it's not a bad thing to have at least one hero that can handle gankers and be a serious threat. Afterall it's called a ZONE attack for a reasonOriginally Posted by Siegfried-Z Go to original post
