Throughout the time I have spent on For Honor, nothing as been more ridiculous and more overpowered than the Wu Lin. Ever since launch of Marching Fire, I have played this game and I've encountered barely any other problems that don't involve the Wu Lin. I have played it on PC and on Xbox One and even on both platforms have the Wu Lin dominated.
Each of the heroes are broken in their own way, however with Nuxia, I can only say she needs to have her attack speed softened ever so slightly, since it is still pretty hard to even parry her with a light attack.
Jiang Jun is completely broken to the point that even his light attacks are considered heavies with how much damage they do. Their speed needs to be along the lines of Lawbringer, Conqueror, Warlord etc.
Tiandi is a dodge specialist, alright, sounds like a good idea in the mind but not in actual action. Tiandi's speed with his sword in that much armour is definjtely not correct since he can change a normal light into a super quick flick, much like Jiang Jun, which is again pretty hard to either dodge or block, let alone parry.
Shaolin is the biggest problem since he is basically three heroes in one. He has the speed of the Orochi (only a tad bit faster and can get in an extra two hits off a light attack alone), he has the reach of Nobushi (minus the bleed affect) and the power of a spamming Valkyrie before she got hit with a nerf. They can do side attacks like the Orochi and Berserker, follow up with a three heavy hit combo which is WAY too fast to parry, get into the Qi stance to perform an unblockable attack and even then they still have stamina to spare. Damage, speed and stamina cost is broken completely with these characters and it's actually stupid that more characters are being added instead of Ubisoft sticking with the characters they have and working on all of them until they are all balanced. Once that is done, then by all means, look towards new characters because that's what gets more fans in but not fixing what you have will also turn players away.

I ranted yes but I needed to get this out there.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for providing your feedback on all the Wu Lin. It seems like the speed of their attacks is a consistent theme with players, and it's something I've been keeping the team appraised of.

I think JJ in particular is one the team is going to keep an eye on. He was statistically doing quite well early on in Marching Fire's life.
