Please just nerf BP into oblivion this is just annoying | Forums

There's no reason why his light attacks should be that fast and no reason for him to have 3 different shield bashes that can hardly be punished if he misses, his recovery between them should be longer and guarantee a guard break just like every other hero with a shield bash in the game
At this point I sigh in the loading screen when I see a BP on the enemy team because I already know the game's not going to be fun

I do think its silly for him to have a follow up bash after a quick LIGHT attack. Thats what annoys me the most about him. (there is more that annoys me but this is my biggest issue about him) Really wish he didnt have it.

I think what they need to do is take out the bash, forward dodge into gb mix-up (if you can really call that a mix-up) and give characters that rely on it some different and more fun to use/defend against tools.

The only bash that is actually difficult to punish is his comboed/neutral forward bash. They nerfed it's recovery with the season 10 patch which now means all the dodge attacks that could barely punish it now can. His zone attack is incredibly slow and has a big GB vulnerability window both during and after it whiffs. And his soft feint bash is in the middle of the two. Not as hard to punish as his neutral/combo bash but not as easy to punish as his zone.

You might be switching your guard late which guarantees the combo bash. It's an unfortunate bug that still has yet to be addressed.

He's actually been quite heavily nerfed overall from his release state. So I don't really see any reason to nerf him further. Especially since the fellow has no chase down or range to punish people who space him, given how big of a window you have to dodge his dodge forward bash, and that feint into GB actually catches him when leaving bullwark now.

I'd suggest you pick him up and try him out for a few days to learn how to deal with him.

He doesn't need nerfing . You just need to learn to play against him . There's only a few decent BP I have came up against .

I tried using him and I sucked really bad , he definitely isn't a noob picked character ( characters that can be played by a ****** and still be good) it takes alot of skill to use him at a good level . IV only ever came across two good BP that where beasts but that wasn't because the BP is broken but because they had skill . Every other BP I just destroy .

The comment on BP from the last State of Balance blog:

Black Prior joins the roster at or near the top of all 3 lists. This is good – S Tier in Duels allows for exciting and creative play, and this is where we want our characters to be. Minor nerfs that already occurred across this season’s patches to lower damage, reduce pressure when Out Of Stamina, as well as nerfing how safe exiting Bulwark Stance is, should be sufficient enough to nerf the character without removing its viability.

the thing is.. with his bash nonsense mixups.. u can't do ****, when u are already out of stamina and he keeps draining you with anything that forces a further reaction, that only leads to a gb or your impending death. broken.

It's okay dude. He's not Conqueror so he gets a shield bash with the same exact variable timing and speed + more damage and less recovery and hardly anyone bats an eye

When OOS dodging backwards with your guard top the moment he dodges forwards pretty much negates him, you'll get your stamina back in no time

Is this a joke?
