Takes so long to fix issues with characters? | Forums

Can't you stop with HA on GB? I mean do you want heavies and hybrids to have 70% winrate and 90% combined pickrates? Like you're rewarded with a guardbreak for eating a heavy or a light? Is that really balanced? Shugoki getting guaranteed 60 damages or hug from any attack if there is a wall nearby?
Do you realize how OP it would be!?

aehem! *coughs* 40-45 dmg. These are the base numbers for his heavies. GB golf swing is only 25 dmg (off the top of my head). 60 dmg would be his unblockable. He only gets that if you are on the ground. Any attack is also not correct. Multi hit attacks (double lights, zerk's zone) remove the HA and stagger him. Other than that you are hitting it on the spot. HA on GB for all heavy characters is crazy, as you would have one broken move that works against ANY attack attempt. That is even more superior than Shugoki's version which is quite balanced for his specific build so far.

I'm not having a go at ubisoft as I'm sure there's a good reason or something, but I'm just wondering why it takes so long to nerf (or buff) characters. Is there anyway that we even know they've acknowledged these issues, such as the ones I've previously posted about?

Well, I think it gets quite obviuose in this forum, that, though everybody claims to have the correct opinon and is speaking for all the comunity, the discussion on the characters are quite controverse.
There is objektivly no clear answer on what is the right thing to do.
Best sample: Cent.
A majority of beginners and not-so-good-players struggle a lot vs. him and claim that he is taking their fun from the game. Experienced players however claim that he is too weak... Not an easy task to manage, and there should not be any quick untested shots that lead to even more chaos.

Because shut up and buy more steel packs. That's why.

But how are you supposed to fight 1v4 without revenge? Take it out from 1v1 sure, but keep them in other gamemodes.

Thay sounds like a terrible idea. Everything from No health feats sounds terrible.

Hmm nah. They're there to make a passable game so people would still spend money on it. Why have a season last entire year if you don't make 3 months of only changes and tinkering. Look at league of legends, it also has year wide seasons, but also a preseason where they dump their reworks to see if they stick and on top of that they tinker numbers and make minor reworks for abilities every month sometimes every week.

Compared to Riots balance team in terms of change frequency Ubisofts team are sitting in a bar across the street and doing shots whenever someone posts about how OP Orochi or Gladiator are.

Well it would be easy if you went with nuclear option and divided low tier and high tier players into diffrent servers.

Also they could do livestreams like DE(creators of Warframe) where they discuss balance and new content with community. Asking pros what specificly makes char weak and asking low tier players what in his kit make him cancer to deal with.

Because Ubisoft clearly likes to watch Meta Trash players abuse and bully the legit players, it seems like a sick game to them. But honestly I wouldn’t ever get your hopes up on getting something that needs to be nerfed well nerfed. They haven’t even fixed the issues with matchmaking, like regenerating the teams after each game, say you got stuck with some new players that suck while the enemy team is filled with either veterans or meta trash. Guess what next game you’re gonna be stuck with the same worthless teammates until you leave and find a different game! So with that being said I highly doubt they’re going to be fixing any of the real issues anytime soon

Shut up, get off the forums if you don’t got anything to contribute to the issues at hand.

Sorry but light spam beats everything in the game. Active HA gb would not be overpowered as it would still have to be timed correctly and could still be counter guard broken if the spammer sees what your trying to do. What it does is even the playing field considering heavies would have reflex guard. It isn't anymore broken than some characters light spam, zones, openers, bashes, kick/grabs, or feats.
