Shinobi nerfed into the ground | Forums

[IamRickC137]

Wow, I was expecting a rework on Shinobi. Maybe some combos to give him versatility in the pocket, or an undodgeable heavy finisher, or 400 ms light attacks. However, all I see is a full-blown nerf. You guys will literally make shinobi into the Tachanka of For Honor if you release these changes from the patch notes. You can't just take away the uninterruptable stances. You need to rework the character from the ground up first. Don't rush this because of the complaints and direction your trying to take the game. Make the right decision and wait until you have a better alternative for Shinobi. With the current kit in the game, Shinobi WILL NOT be able to play against the other heroes; guaranteed. I like what you guys are doing, by forcing the combat, but rushing Shinobi into that platform is not a responsible move. Please do not turn what is personally my favorite hero, due to design (not the kit), into a literal meme.

I've put 8 reps into him already and really like his fast paste gameplay, but I wasn't ready for **** Ubi will bring to him.
"Oh let's make an already useless character even more useless!"
I expect die even more times than I do now. Coz in ganks you die very fast, in 1v1 you can't do a ****.

I ****ing hate Ubi for this.

Gonna rep him up to 10, get 100rep overall and bury Shinobi. Another potential main got pranked by Stefan.

I totally agree with you I haven’t put much time in shinobi but still I’m rep 1 with him and was gonna tank him up higher but now I feel like I just don’t want to play him because you’re taking away his only saving grace his hyper armor and his sickle rain were completely fine in my opinion and now Ubisoft you have just made this character more useless so please change him back I know you won’t do it but I want to play the shinobi I know and love. Thank you

I totally agree with you, honestly couldn't expect anything less from ubi knowing how disconnected they are from the faction in general. Over the past 10 seasons ubi has proved that assassins are the weakest class, bringing in tht new hero Jor where all u have to do is press 3 buttons to do massive dmg when shinobi must do complex mix-ups it really shows how dumbeddown this games gotten. Imo the reflex guard is the biggest and dumbest disadvantage, it'd make sense if it was given a faster block recovery time after a move even by a little. it just doesn't make sense to me anymore and this coming from a top 40 global shinobis planning on stepping down from the throne 😂😪
