It is my opinion and experience that the Centurion Hero is entirely too overpowered. This hero seems to have endless stamina as well as an obscenely long attack chain. Not only is said chain long, it is riddled with unblockable blows and stunning hits. So far the only viable defense to this ruthless attack other than running and not even making contact, which most of the time is impossible, is a split second parry that in my experience has not worked because of either user error (which is possible but still a problem) or a lag glitch that does not allow me to defend myself properly (less likely but possible). All of this to say that the Centurion is a bit of a game breaker and unless I am playing with a full squad and all four of us just gang up on the guy, which is also game breaking, there seems to be no way around or to have at least a halfway decent fight that I can even get a few good hits in. I am not asking to completely nerf this guy but perhaps a few things could be implemented to balance gameplay. First, would be to increase stamina cost thus preventing an endless combination of chain attacks and stun hits; second, would be to decrease damage output so that victims of these chains at least have a chance to get back up and defend themselves from the next wave of nonsense; finally, would be to simply reduce the length of the attack chains allowing opponents more time to recover and at least have a chance in the fight. By no means do I think all three of these ideas should be used but it would be a welcome respite to finally have a chance in one on one combat should even a single one of these suggestions be used.
My thanks for giving users a medium for conveying our frustrations within your games and I look forward to see a resolution to what is viewed as a problem by both new and veteran gamers alike.

Im a cent main, I didnt read the whole thing tbh because usually only new people to the game complain about his playstyle and kit. Heres the reality of the centurion, in a 1v1, if you arent actually and genuinely good with him, youre not going to win, his is all though a great gank machine in dominion or 4v4s in general. He already doesnt have much in his kit so things such as walls are our glory, or even a charged heavy if it lands is (in my case) just as good. If he lands a heavy on you we either punch or fake out a heavy into a guard break or even just cancel the attack. The legion kick is easily dodgeable and can be read well if you face the character enough. I recommened going into training mode and facing the character and even chose the attacks you are most frustrated with for the AI to use. In all fairness yes he is techincally a "noob stomper" that is true but the more practice you have facing him the easier to can read him. If you can, use the character and learn him so you know how we play. Using your opponents character is (in my case atleast) the best way to learn how to counter him! You will notice how many players can easily dodge the heavy, the legion kick and even his punch after a landed or blocked heavy. I hope this helps you with fscing the character. Sorry for not reading your whole post but all centurion posts are quite frankly the same and it sucks because nerfing him again would stray me away from the character. He just needs maybe a buff or two or even at best, a rework to make the Reliance on guard break to wall splat not our best option. Hope i helped tho!

Common guys, of course the centurion isn't unbeatable. I prefer to fight a cent than a shaman, a light spamming orochi/conq or a zerk.. But against a good cent one mistake and you are in a bad position, get OOS and you are in a very bad position, get on a wall and you are dead. Even in ranked duels all they do (90% of them) is trying to throw on walls.. If we play duel it is to play on skills, not environmental damages no? His meta is ****ty, you centurions can at least admit that..
