    Nerf Berserker!

    I don't know why an assassin has all the Hyper Armor in his mix-ups & even on top of that unblockables. Why anyone should use orochi instead of S-tier berserker in breach or dominion? Also revenge attacks as his 2nd feat. I've heard ubisoft is looking at berserker to do something about him but not any official statement.

    I agree beserker has a bit too much in his kit especially the hyper amour. If the damage on the lights got nerfed a little and if the amount of hyper armour he gets was toned down that would make him more balanced. It's crazy how lb didn't get hyper armour but beserker did. Reversing the situation would make things right.

    I say this a long time ago: it is unfair that the berserker is throwing out heavies, and the only thing you can do is guessing and parrying depending on your guess. Against almost every other characters, you also have the ability to interrupt the attack with a fast light, use a dodge attack or deflect, but the berserker can just punish you for doing anything but parries. And you have to commit to one option when the top heavy finisher is coming, but he has at least 7 (no feint, side lights on both direction, side heavy on both direction, guardbreak, zone). If I predict he is not throwing a heavy there and take a risk by throwing a light, getting hit by his light in return anyway is unfair.

    The side light feints' hyperarmor must go, they are 400ms. Actually, I think he shouldn't have hyperarmor on any lights, only on heavies. He has the option to get into the three heavy chains anytime in his infinite, so it's still a read to attack him after a whiffed heavy. He can also dodge out for dodge attacks. And he also has the safest deflect, and he gets 28(!) damage on heavy parries, so i don't think this would hurt him that much (well, beside those who only spammed until this point).

    Im sorry to say but these feedbacks are on basis daily. Especially about zerker / warden bash and buffs for weakest heroe's that still carry season 1 moveset with no improvments at all. Soon ill have nobody left to play as every community i joined since i play is collapsing due to terrible balance experiences.

    I think that all he need is this nerf:
    Light after heavy and after feint - 12dmg (instead of 15dmg)
    Top heavy opener - 35dmg (instead of 38dmg)
    Side heavy opener - 30dmg (instead of 33dmg)
    Side unblockable heavy finisher - 38dmg (instead of 45dmg).
    Zone attack - 20dmg (instead of 24dmg)

    BUT, big but, if you want to nerf him let's nerf all Tier S dominion/duel characters, it will be stupid to nerf him instead without nerfing Shaolin or Shinobi (if we talk about 4v4), or without nerfing Warden and Conq (if we talk about 1v1).

    Thats right, if u start thinking about nerf the berzerker u have to think about to nerv all S-Tier characters. Against those characters u need all those things u complain to have a chance.

    Some characters belong to S tier as there always will be highest rank hero in any online fighting game. Its just the differences between them and lower rank ones. While warden is only somehow viable is shoulder bash abused to the limit. Berserker entire kit is cancerous, literally an Aramusha on steroids. Damage nerfs wont change anything breaking fighting experience for people not havin unhuman reflex. At higher rank even Orochi requies some sort of skill, more or less but still. Berserker right now is overbuffed pure spam with no reason to think at all what are you actually doing. I cant believe such cancers as this hero havent been changed for so long. Meanwhile Nobushi sits in her b tier with season 1 moveset and her last rework at S5 was 5 nerfs 2 buffs. I dont even know if theres a single reason to debate about balance and hero issues as this company doesnt even play their own game. Rough numbers and worthless data is all they see, yet not enough to change the basic issues people meet and complain everyday on this forum. No wonder i have almost nobody else to play with as nearly everyone i knew quit this nonsense

    His light opener damage should be dropped down some. But the rest of his kit is fine.
