How to balance the Black Prior | Forums

[Goat_of_Vermund]

After playing him a bit as well as reading some topics about him and fighting him, I think I have some ideas to balance him out.

1. Increase the recovery of light-bash if missed. Every dodge attack should be guaranteed on a succesful dodge, as well as guarbreaks on an instant preventive dodge. Same for forward bash.
2. Let his heavy finishers to be softfeinted into his shieldbash. Let his Bulwark Strike softfeinted into a shieldbash.
3. Make the heavy finishers 40 damage again.

OR just speed his zone up slightly so its of use - i.e. you feint bulwark into zone into finisher etc. Its to slow to have any sort of reliability

Also nerf light after bash finisher to 15, buff light after softfeint from heavy back to 20

Guys, the only buff BP should get is on his foward dodge heavy.

No Dmg buff, no softfeint, no speed increased.

I'm asking for nerf to light off bash and more damage on light on softeint heavy (the easier to dodge one). Don't hate on a character because of its launch

Zone is stumpy armed and slow on a charcter with a very bare bones tool kit, just to add some variety

Just make recovery after bash like Conq's so that bash from neutral and bash after light will be punishable, maybe even make zone 100ms vulnerability to gb and reduce recovery on heavy soft-feint to bash.

Lol, cybersportsmens put Prior in #1 S-Tier only because they hate new character, not because he is OP.

I dont "hate" prior. I just try to be objective.
His zone is fine. It is a Bash zone, a thing for what Glad one use to be famous.
His zone can allow prior to catch people dodging on the SB timing.
And this is a very good option select tool.

He's top 1 S-tier because he's the strongest hero in the game, annoyingly so. He's still too good, too easy to use, requires close to no skill to play correctly and win, which I'm aware is very popular concept for a lot of people, however, it's toxic as a whole. He needs actual tone downs, serious ones I'd say.

Why are you telling me this, I do not understand? Read the comment to which I replied.

I did, and I don't even know how your reply has anything to do with his post, but either way my point is that Prior is rightfully top 1 S-tier, not just because someone hates a new character.
