I know its a daring title but for real: The Devs aren't listening to us, they don't even play their own game, they treat us like idiots and tell us we asked for it.WE DON'T!
I played For Honor since the closed Beta and liked it pretty much. Of course it needed work but the idea was amazing.
But the missing dedicated serves made the game unplayable because of connection issues and the new heroes were OP as **** to get the players buying the Season Pass. Well they got nerfed anyway but got many good memes on YT.
After 3(!) seasons of CRYING for dedicated servers we got them but with them came the input delay (or how I call it: Ubi cancer) aka "lol i blocked/parried but the game said "**** u"". Heroes with fast light attacks have a funny time while their opponents desperately try to block/parry their attacks which were seeming ureactable.
The old heroes we had before Marching Fire were unbalanced due several nerfs and buffs (also reworks).
Lawbringer for example was nerfed to death. The community asked to buff him because he can't keep up with the others and "Lawdaddy mains cried in versatility". The answer was provided by creative director Roman Campos Oriola:"...you don't know how to play Lawbringer...". Well I doubt he does.
And the is the the Shaman on the other end. Maybe its just my personal opinion but she is broken at the core and every player who isn't a stupid wood log know how to use her: Zone attack -> bleeding -> bite attack= 2 or 3 health bars less to chew.
Of course there are more things to fix but this isn't the real problem: The Devs don't really care.
They keep creating new emotes, executions etc. There are always enough players who buy steel to get them all. Why even try to work on the actual game and the relevant part: the heroes. It seems they're deaf to our complaints, suggestions and feedback.
Marching Fire update
Marching Fire brought a new faction we can't join, a new gear system we didn't asked for and new heroes who are OP as usual to cover the desolate state of the other heroes.
Every build is gone now. The hours of farming and improving gone to waste. It was replaced by cute, little buffs which are total useless. The community only asked prevent Revenge builds, because they're only for players who couldn't fight without infinite stamina, hyper armor and an extra shield. The trade of ups and downs was good. More defense traded with higher stamina consumtion. There where many ways to play a character, if equipped effectively and it was rewarding.
Many moves doesn't work on the Wu Lin heroes like Nobushis hidden stance for example. Of course they're new but they should at least work within the same system as the other heroes. Doesn't anyone testing it before the update? They did, but it was rather thought as an appetizer for the new season than a real test.
May it Tiandis kick, Shaolins teleport feat or even the broken Jiang Jun - nothing changed at all. The Devs doesn't know their game, they're deaf to their player base and they continue putting it under the carpet like always.

I agree with you. Been playing for a quite a while now and personally I preferred the old version of For Honor. When everyone was made somewhat equal and the game was pretty enjoyable. I am talking from a Shugoki perspective as it the only character that I really enjoy and it saddens me that there wasn't even a slight buff since the release.
Maybe it is a case of me being bad or that I have an eye condition - I cannot keep up with most of the new characters, well all of them in fact. Tiandi is the worst, his forward light dodge is very fast + it has that blue dodge effect that doesn't make it much better to react to. JJ feels more of a hybrid than a heavy and Nuxia with Shaolin are assassins. Valkyrie is another thing, she used to be such an enjoyable character that required a lot of skill to play, now it is just a light attack machine - the same as Orochi.
I could overlook the perk system, since Shugoki's only viable move is Daemon's embrace in 4v4 and neither gear stats or perks can really help you. But the fact that many characters are getting ridiculously fast is unfair towards players like me, or console players who have it even worse.

The Wu Lin are overpowered. Let's just call it for what it is. As for the present state of For Honor, Ubisoft make me want to weep. The perk system is total and utter ****. Completely useless and the game is broken at it's core, with game developers who don't care and don't know what they're mucking around at.
I can't believe how broken the game is now. Ubisoft barely qualify as professional game developers because their titles are that bad. Like OP mentioned they are about one step away from being EA.

yeah, EA doesn't take your items away, they take your money away, if you don't pay for it youre pretty much useless
for honor though, they didn't TAKE your items away, they replaced it, sure its a d*ck move because high gear players have specific build.
one thing that high gear lvl players are being salty about is their revenge build, who doesn't want a revenge if you just parried 4-5 hits right? (this is so easy because it auto parries other attacks after you got a single parry at the start)
pretty much they balanced it, high gear score players cant abuse their high attacks and defense against new players anymore because the matchmaking is so trash it partners you with high prestige/reputation players on team game modes.
one thing im being salty is that they give this specific perks for specific heroes, that's the bad move there, its like they are saying what they want you to build your character with

Everyone agreed revenge builds were OP, the devs were the ones who made them even better the last time they balanced the gear stats, and ironically enough it was buffed because new players were having so many issues getting ganked.Originally Posted by Peenoise.PH Go to original post
Being a high level player, I'll tell you what I'm salty about and it isn't losing a revenge build, it's losing literally hundreds upon hundreds of hours of playtime that was put towards a gear system and getting nothing when they replace it out of no where, the random perks we were given were mostly the same two perks and I couldn't make one 3 perk loadout for any of my top tier heroes and I had seven of them with stuffed inventories full of top tier gear. On top of losing all of those hours, the new perks are mostly useless, too situational to be of any real use in a game, you can't even use them to balance your heroes weaknesses, like the last system did.

I agree with you on most parts but I can't even rage at this game.
This game has become singleplayer/coop game for me, since all gang banging and tier 10 vs tier 0 heroes I made peace with myself that this game will never be what they described.
But with new expansion and new perk system we got one really nice thing, since all perks are crap we can now play fashion play for our end game content \o/

They need to update all old heroes & some of the useless DLC heroes [like Cent].
I have a rep 50 Cent & i parried a Shaolin which SHOULD give me a free heavy well it gave me a free whiff cuz the attack missed completely.
Fuqqing incredible how buggy the game is. Why they dont fix bugs before releasing stuff is beyond my comprehension. Ubisoft biz model must be "they gonna buy it regardless" lol.
That will only last but so long.
