Concern over new heroes | Forums

[Tytton10]

I’ve been watching YouTube over the new heroes and they all seem to be lacking and have some major issues. As for shaolin, I think everyone is confused for his nerf. Jiang june and Nuxia do not seem currently viable, especially in high level play. They have many issues that are more clearly listed in YouTube videos. Tiandi actually seems okay still despite his nerf.

before submitting feedback on heroes, maybe you should actually try playing as or against the heroes, instead of forming an opinion based on someone else's opinion. If you don't have actual experience fighting with these characters, the feedback you provide is pretty much null and void since it is based on someone else's bias

As it stands right now, none of the heroes that Ive seen here actually will stand up to anyone who is playing a centurion, Raider, Law Bringer, Conq, Warden, Nobushi or Aramusha at any decent level of play. These heroes are VERY slow overall and their mixups require too many transitional moves to create any flow. The only hero out of the bunch so far that is worth anything is the Jun. And that is because of the unlock attack and the ability to ghost stance away from anything to interrupt chains and whatnot.

The heroes feel very clunky. like extremely so. I am going to keep playing them to see if ANYTHING comes together, but right now I dont really like the feel of this expansion. The heroes are very bland and generic, as I said they feel clunky and too exposed in their techniques, and I have a hard time seeing them viable at any high level of play. Shinobi is going to eat them alive.

These heroes are VERY slow.

Many of them have 400ms in the chain and all of them have 500ms start up lights, Shaolin even has 400ms, what're you talking about?

Thanks Tytton10! I'm curious whether you've changed your mind any since participating in Test yourself, or whether playing confirmed what you saw.
