Warden's Shoulder Bash Broken? | Forums

[KotoKuraken]

Name another character in the game that can completely feint his bash. I'll wait.

While I'm waiting, I have a proposal: either make Warden's bash unfeintable, or make everyone's bash feintable. Equal bash, equal versatility

Just remove bashes altogether along with unblockables and rework the game so we can have some actual swordfights in this game about swordfighting without having to rely on spamming cheese to get anywhere.

Of course, they're not going to do that, too much work. So, live with the cheese people because something tells me it ain't going anywhere. In fact, it's likely to get worse rather than better in my estimation.

I'm just very surprised nothing has changed yet. The day when conq, warden and zerk get nerfed will be a great day

Yeah man.

The problem is they took one of the best heroes to ever come out and decided to use that as the gold standard. I miss when the game took more skill to win than cheesy and safe moves. They balanced up instead of using the most even characters as the standard. This would be fine but on top of this half the roster got speed boosts because they try to balance everything based on the PC because it’s the “competitive platform” and just kind of tell console players to deal with it, no offense to PC players. It’s just the reality. The game is fun but because of this very frustrating sometimes.

Yeah anyone who says the warden is a fair character now is wrong idc 😂

Thanks everyone for the discussion here. We've let the team know that Warden's SB is a point of concern with the community.

It's only a point of concern for those who can't find the dodge button.

Also, while you're talking to the team, any chance you can mention Conq's shield bash?

I don't dispute any of that but what I recognise is that the game is designed around this exact kind of mechanic. While I would much rather see a more interesting rework of Warden, utilising his actual sword rather than his shoulders, it's just not going to happen. If his bash is broken then I'm all for them fixing it. Not sure that they will though.

To be honest, I would remove all the unblockables from the game and rework the mechanics so the focus is on skilfully wielding the weapon in your hand, but that's never going to happen either.
