A serious problem with this system. | Forums

I don't know if this is the only place the For Honor team goes to look at for suggestions and feedback, but even if it is, it doesn't excuse my complaint.
We're asked for feedback, then laughed at when we give it. Then changes are made that no one wanted or asked for. What's the point of it all? Lawbringer has no openers. Shugoki has the same problem, and he ALSO doesn't have any useful punishes compared to basically every other character in the game. Conq's raw shield bash is ridiculously difficult to punish compared to other character's bashes.
So many people have been making these statements and more, but they're just teased and ignored while the developers decide to buff a character that HAS openers, defensive options, mobility, high damage, and counter-attack potential.

If you won't listen to us, at least don't make fun of us for telling you what we think after you asked.
I love this game. There isn't an experience out there that can replicate it. I know it can't be perfect, but there is consensus within the community on what would be good, and that general consensus is almost completely ignored in favor of what? Buffing peacekeeper? Claiming the weakest heroes in the game are fine? Are the only people you listen to apathetic internal testers?

I'm sorry. Just, we're in the dark.

The team who works on the balancing is high AF, they need to stop drugs..

I wouldn't say that, I just don't think they're listening to the community about balance. They're trying to be objective, but the issue is that balance is about fun, which is subjective. Statistics can be misleading, especially when they're read incorrectly.

i still think that statistics are wrong tho, i mean im on the top 0.1% in duels and shugoki is joke tier there (and their statistics covered players up to top 2.5%) NOBODY of this ranking loses vs shugoki in a 1vs1, you just have to wait for his 600 ms light and get a free light parry. (and the only reason he is viable is for his hug move on 4vs4)

I was keeping it short but i ll elaborate:
The problem is that they don t play the game, (if they do, they really dont care to get spammed and to have a good time. Or maybe they are the one who spam so they don t realise the problem) and because of that, they will never get what the community struggle with, what the balance broblems are, and how to fix it. They will not save the game if they barely make one real balance patch every season..
The truth is that it is the dev team who need a rework, and fast if they want the game to survive 6 more months.
