Patch 2.10.0 is out aaaaaand... | Forums

[chaneke1984]

Surprise, surprise!! There are no changes to the major game breaking factor currently in the game: Sakura is untouched.

She needs changes, she's worse that any gimmick Warlork or Raider can pull. She's just a character that was introduced to make players with low skill win.

There's not a single match where a Sakura is playing that she doesn't get a top place in takedowns.

Even when you get used to fight her, her variable timings in addition to her hyper armor are a real headache.

I still have no idea why warlord was nerfed, boggles my mind. I've lost all faith in this dev team. The way they balance heroes is so dumb, they keep buffing weak heroes to the point where they make other heroes completely unviable to play.

Besides LB, he got a tweak, not a rework.

Community: Sakura is annoying with too much hyper armor and Raider does too much damage.

Devs: We hear you! Raiders' stun tap will be 3dmg points weaker and Warlord will get a nerf.

Then please by all means tell me how you would change her. Complaining without an idea for improvement is useless. As a samurai player myself I was beyond disappointed on how she played out.

She gets her hyper armor very early. That is true, it causes defensive play. HOWEVER she’s garbage otherwise. Her kick sweep mixup doesn’t work. She hops on her second light making it quite telegraphed and her side heavies don’t gain momentum until they can no longer be feinted leading to less threatening feint game.

Her dash heavy is too slow and her zone doesn’t chain.

The only nerf she needs is later activation on her hyper armor. Otherwise you better have some ideas for a buff because If you would understand her issues I promise you would look at her different.

I would say while a throw nerf sucks but they could’ve made it worse. I’m feeling a nerf before buff vibe coming from this.

FH devs incompetence has reached a new level . Hopeless...

I don't think she needs anything changed. As was pointed out, her hyper armor allowing her to trade blows is literally all she has going for her. Nerf that and she will have only variable timed heavies and a super slow unblockable that is easy to dodge or parry. She will be a worse Centurion, because she won't have punches, kicks, or Eagle's Talons.

This happens because you and most players don't know 3 of her biggest weaknesses:

1) She swings her weapon with a slow animation (especially with side heavies) after letting her heavies go, and can't feint during that animation. Her heavies can be parried on reaction to that animation.

2) Her GB vulnerabilities are very long. You can just throw a few GBs to force Sakura players to turtle.

3) You can roll away from her kick mixup, then parry her useless ''roll catcher''.

it seems like the warlord gets nerfs every update.i dont like how theyre slowly taking away his ledge killing abilities. like it or not its definitely an incentive to picking him. in a few months time he'll be another basic character with no identity
