Conqueror's fullblock nerfed, why? | Forums

[Halvtand]

With patch 1.26 came a couple of changes that were not mentioned in the patch notes (see video below for more info). One of these was doubling the activation time of Conqueror's fullblock from 300ms to 600ms. My question is why?`
300ms was already short enough for the move to be practically unuseable mid-combo (to interrupt an enemy combo) due to hitstun. It was also long enough to ensure that it could not be used on reaction against incoming attacks apart perhaps from the slowest heavy attacks. So what has warranted a doubling of the activation time?
Now fullblock is only useable on attack from neutral. On light attacks and some heavy attacks you have to commit to fullblock before the enemy does to their attack.

Not only that . Punch thru feat doesn't work at all.

Conq maybe needs a little little nerf on his Shieldbash ... like 50ms slower

But nerfing Full Block is a bad decision.

That’s intended and thank god it was. It works on heavies like it should. Not lights anymore. And it doesn’t do ridiculous damage.

I think they nerfed it, because of the blocking ability itself.
I think this is more about his feintgame. It was way to easy to bait out something and punish it with his fullblock.
Now this move is more risky..

It is interesting to see how big boys such as Shugo, Conq and Raider all received minor nerfs but some other heroes are off the limits even though there are so many players who requested those heroes to be nerfed.

I don't think it is a coincidence. Ubi developers are biased towards some classes/heroes and they pretty much don't care that we know. Look at how Conq was for previous 5 seasons and even now I would argue that he is one trick pony. Hell of a trick, yes, but still real effort wasn't invested when it comes to his move set. Look at the Shugo or Warlord? Again, heavy class brought to their knees. Lawbringer? Technically hybrid but reall close to heavy, is useless unless you can parry every other attack. And you want to bet that heavy is going to be weakest hero when we get new faction?

Their bias is strong with this one, and there is nothing we can do expect for complaining on forums but I have ghe feeling the more we complain, the more they troll us on purpose with heavy nerfs.

Yep, but 600ms from 300ms is way too much. This move is pretty useless now. I wondered why I didn't block any heavies with Full Block yesterday during Ranked Duell.

Imo it was slow enough activation as it was. And i say that as someone who hates versing conqs.

Hey man, if the Valks full block has to be nerfed then so does the Conquerer who tops the Duel boards.

Any nerf to conq is OK in my book 👍
