I must have gotten some misinformation, I thought I heard he was already getting buffed before season 10, my bad.Originally Posted by Ubiflowessence Go to original post
I really don't know fighting games well enough to know the technical changes he will need, I'm sure Raime has a laundry list of changes that would be good for him, but from a design perspective I can throw a few things around that I think would be a good direction if he ever gets a full rework.
First and foremost, his cutscene needs to go.
His fighting style is pretty much a brawler, so going by that I think his punches and kicks should be able to be slipped in with his sword strikes fluidly and he should have different punches as well, jabs, hooks, haymakers, maybe an uppercut too.
To make him not so telegraphed he should have multiple options for combos, kind of like valk and her ability to go for a sweep or hit with that staggering finisher that tosses others to the side and can wall splat (sorry I'm not familiar with her combo names).
He should have a combo that has a stun effect, like the raider stunning tap, if he's going to be all about hooks and haymakers he needs an attack that stuns.
I think he should keep his charged heavy and it should still have a soft feint into GB, but with a damage buff on the heavy, take away the free charged punch and take away his knock down from a punch altogether, that part of his kit needs to go.
So that he doesn't lose his identity completely(the cutscene), I think maybe he could have a wrestling takedown that can be followed up with a few punches that do a light amount of health and stamina damage but would be interrupted by any outside attacks from teammates.
That's just a few ideas off of the top of my head, if anyone else has anything to add, feel free.

Season 11 is my guess. Don't know what you've heard, but it's incorrect.
Not as ridiculous as complaining about Centurion in 2019.Originally Posted by HKPirate Go to original post

I used to. But I don't really feel like either of my past rework threads are 100% what I want from him anymore. Either way though I don't particularly feel like giving suggestions for him anymore. Anything i'd likely want out of him is probably going to be more than the developers want to put in the effort for. Goki's rework was probably the most extensive thing we've had done since maybe the valk changes. And neither are complete kits atm. So i'd feel like my time would be wasted if I bothered trying to address him again.Originally Posted by The_B0G_ Go to original post
I will say that after trying him for a few matches in dominion today (as i've not done that since his release back in season 2) there were some notable things for me.
Mainly that his anti gank potential is bollocks and I extremely dislike it. I think every hero should have some anti gank potential and he just has none.
The second thing being even though the fully charged heavy/punch don't really feel great at the moment I did find it interesting that while he feeds revenge with his kit he's also given the tools to ignore revenge. (that being charged heavies still pin and charged punches still floor people.)
I'm unsure if that's a good thing for the game or if I even want to try to have that preserved in some fashion. I just thought it was an interesting bit of fluff my mind created for me.
