This bash has killed for honor season 9. I thought conquerors bash was bad but honestly this bash is op. There's no counter to it and it deals a lot of damage. Playing ranked mode is so dead when you have to wait ten minutes to finally find a match and then lose because of the light bash light combo. Please make some changes urgently

Ranked was already dead before.
Took me hours to get quallified because no one played it.
Fortunately I got the color palette I wanted.

I don't like bashes like Warden's, Conq's or BP's either. Wishing the devs would implement better ways to "open up" an enemy.

The title of this thread made me giggle.

Ahahaha brilliant 😂 😂. Yeah I play Warden a lot and I hate it when we bash spam but it is the worst of the bashes. Conqueror and BP have really op bashes. A nerf to all three bashes would be good. I've suggested a few times how to nerf the different bashes but I'm not sure if they've seen the ideas yet.

Before ArchDukeInstinct jumps in and says how a nerf to Conq's bash would render him nearly useless, maybe it's also a good thing to keep in mind that these bash heavy heroes need some "compensation" if their bashes were to be nerfed. BP would probably still function well, but Conq and Warden probably wouldn't. For Warden I've seen a lot of people suggest to make him more into a knight that actually uses his sword and has a special stance. I'm not going into detail because I know nothing about knights. I honestly don't know what they could do to Conq.


EDIT: I haven't read your ideas to nerf bashes yet, but I'll take a look when I have the time.

Warden shouldn't be able to cancel bash as late when charged. He shouldn't be able to continue bash into a vortex after initial bash. And he should have quicker recovery rate on top heavy finisher.
Conqueror should have a slightly slower bash and slower recovery rate.
BP should have less damage from 20 to 15 and a slower recovery rate. Bash or zone could be a little slower as well.

When in doubt, play JJ. Ain't nothing gonna stop them from bash spam like giving them cancer.

[pretoastedwaffl]

That's true the wu lin is quite cancerous. Absolutely hate them

What are you talking about? Warden's bash is way better than Conqueror's and Black Prior's bash. Conqueror's bash is garbage damage with no viable follow up and Black Prior's bash has garbage tracking and range. Warden can just repeatedly charge up a shoulder charge and if the opponent dodges early (because if they don't they'll get hit by an uncharged bash for 18 damage) then you let the full charge happen and get a free 40 damage. Then you can then immediately transition into your unblockable 40 damage top heavy or another bash. If they guessed right and don't do anything, Warden just cancels and gets off scott free. Warden also has a dedicated roll catching move.

I didn't say it would make him useless, I said he would have no viable offense and would have to turtle to win matches. Trust me, people will be really crying then. There will need to be wet floor signs everywhere on these forums.

I'm not going into detail because I know nothing about knights. I honestly don't know what they could do to Conq.

They should leverage the charged heavy and make it worthwhile like I suggested a while ago.

They does not care about the balance.Shield bash, Heal, best counter? Devs, why Vortiger doesn't got fast LA spam? Add it please!
P.S. meta is broken. Again...

Bashes aren't the issue in and of itself. We need to look at the bigger picture: How other heroes can respond to them.

On one hand, Players who use Heroes with dodge attacks/bashes, dodge GB (raiders) or HidS/BulC/SeifS, will not see it as an issue.
If they read correctly, they can avoid damage, and even counter with their own attacks.

On the other side, Players who chose to play Heroes without these moves will be frustrated because they have no way to counter/break out of the vicious cycle of bash, light, or worse.
If they read correctly and dodge, they receive zero reward and everything goes back to neutral, where in the bash cycle can continue. (Stamina cost is miniscule on bashes)
Frustration will mount, causing them to voice their opinion on the forum and then get told to Git Gud" by the former group of players because we're all toxic.

How do you balance that? Not up to me really here, but you know who's bash isn't so annoying?
The good ol Nobushi.
Manage to dodge the kick? There's a free GB...unless she qued up a light, then you eat that in the face.
Read her like a book and saw the light coming? Free parry for ya! Everyone is happy.
Make all bashes like that. 50/50 is still there, fair no? Thoughts?
