Centurion needs a serius buff | Forums

[Knight_Raime]

Centurion is the most likely the reason why I am going to stop playing this game one again. High pick rate doesn't help, but it is so frustrating to see how someone can win in such a way, almost without actually fighting at all. Couple of cut scenes, and you are done. In 4v4 , he is the ultimate cancer.

Centurion would greatly benefit from rework where his core kit would be changed. If he was to receive buff that way, I don't mind it at all.

But I am against any further buffs on his current state or his current kit. He is broken as he always was and developers ignored that because their bias towards certain heroes such as Centurion or Shaman.

I don't enjoy how centurion is atm. He's very boring to play. You basically chip someone down with random heavies hoping they attempt to parry so you MIGHT be able to get your cutscene combo. Sure it's fun to swing the fight really hard. But it's not really fun when that's what you have to do in order to be an actual threat. I am totally for tossing out his entire kit for a new one. So long as he's still a bully and show boaty thematically.

Sure let’s make him more cancerous in 4v4 in the futile attempt to make his slow moveset less terrible in solo matches.

Look, he’s obviously a ganker. Whenever I see a deathball it includes either him or a Shaman. Sometimes both. I see way more Cent gank squads than Shogu even, and that’s with his “I grabbed you, time to die” move.

That’s because he’s great at distraction. If you focus on him, you can’t deal with his friends cuz you’re too busy dodging his toolkit of unblockables, and you’ll most likely stumble into someone’s GB, then you’re on the ground.

“B-but REVENGE!”

Unless you’re a pro at this game, deathballs aren’t afraid of a Revenge. They’ll just wait you out and clean up whoever fell over.

It's entirely possible to make him better in 1's without making him worse in 4's.
He's not a great ganker. He doesn't have anything that helps in ganks other than pin. Which is incredibly hard to land due to external blocking and how telegraphed his unblockable heavy is. LB is a better ganker because both his long arm and impale don't trigger the damage reduction effect that all other grabs (including GB's) trigger. and shaman is the best ganker in the game because her bite allows her team to instant kill anyone she bites. And she herself doesn't even need to proc bleed to be able to threaten with it.

Why do you think cent needs a buff when there are character like Aramusha and Shugoki?

Lower the damage he gets off a single parry near a wall and sure, buff him all you want.

I agree with this

Agreed, his soul must still be there.

I've definitely heard people say he's quite a passive/turtle-y character at the moment. Definitely doesn't seem in keeping with his general style.

There's lots of threads about lots of heroes on these forums. I'm not sure whether the community's a fan of the changes yet, but the team just made some substantial tweaks to Ara.
