After two days of playing: The mode itself is great. The players and matchmaking are trash.
How hard is it to put people around the same skill level into the same lobby? This is a joke.
Last two matches:
Me playing Shugoki (my worst hero) on defense. Enemy team did not stand a chance and ran out of tickets in phase 1. They had a Warden who only used heavy attacks for me to parry. No SB or anything. A Shaman who kept using her unblockable no matter how many times i parried it. A Kensei who only used dodge attacks for me to parry and they had one "decent" conqueror, but nothing special. Easy win and completely unfair. I did great and had the least takedowns so my teammates were literally murdering them with no effort.
Find a new lobby. My whole team gets completely stomped by a Lawbringer, Shao lin or whatever his name is, a Berserker and a Nuxia. Im playing Gladiator and every light gets blocked, but most of the time parried. Every guardbreak gets countered, they're fainting all over the place and countering everything. Might aswell put the controller down. Managed to get to atleast phase 2 wich i think they did on purpose just so the "stomp" could continue for a little longer.
Add to that, that a large portion of players don't understand tickets, archer zones etc, etc and it's a terrible experience. Saw one guy as Glad attack the ram the whole match. Messaged him midgame telling him it doesn't do anything and ofcourse you get the standard "stfu noob" response. I might try a few bot matches because this incredibly frustrating. And Ubisoft: Make a decent tutorial for this mode because the majority obviously doesn't understand it.
