Why not get rid of back roll all together? | Forums

It has nothing to do with fighting and everything to do with retreating. Just a thought.

Removing the back roll sounds like a terrible idea, if you're looking for less functionality you might want to stick with 2D fighting games or something. One of the key reasons why For Honor is unique as a fighting platform is because it offers a dynamic in which freedom of movement is a significant factor in close quarters.

Being able to bait an opponent is also related to combat, which involves managing space between you and your opponent, so the back roll serves more purposes then simply attempting to retreat. Not to mention that even in real-world warfare, retreating is still a valid tactical decision, so it doesn't even matter if the back roll is used for such a purpose because it's fair game in a combat situation.

Dude chill it was only a suggestion and your opinions aren't the only ones that matter.

I didn't say that only my opinions matter so what are you even talking about?

When you post a topic on a gaming forum in the General Discussion page, don't get defensive just because a player replies with their disagreement to your suggestion.

Just as it's fair game for players to back roll, it's also fair game for players to respond to forum threads; which is the whole point of "General Discussion."

Dude you started by belittling me then proceed as if what you're saying is fact. Spacing has back dodge and rolling away isn't baiting it's trying to opt out of combos imo. It's a retreat to reset the fight.

You think that I belittled you in my first post? All I did was equate less functionality to 2D gaming; it's merely the suggestion that I objected to, which isn't the same thing as belittling. It wasn't intended to be taken personally.

But if you're going to go "Full Millennial" on me, then I'll try to use a more saccharine analogy next time. In any case, I already disagreed with the idea of removing the back roll so I have nothing further to say on this topic.

I mainly play dominion. In Australia,most players treat dominion as skirmish,with zones treated as an afterthought. A good example is : We have no zones,I'll position myself in a zone(instead of mindlessly fighting the first person I see. I'll be fighting someone 1v1 and have the advantage. I notice 2 of my teammates rushing from behind me. Now I've played enough to know what's going to happen next. 9/10 times they come flailing in,eager for the kill. Usually I'll get hit from behind from my own teammate,they'll activate revenge and fight that would of been over in 5 seconds now turns into an unnecessary sh*tshow. All the while they still have the other 2 zones. 3 years later it's still very very common. I NEED backroll. Because now when I see this coming, I can back roll out, leave my 2 or 3 teammates to kill 1 person,and go get another zone , so we at least have a chance of winning. Also when someone tries to engage me in a fight outside a zone ( again this only applies when you only have 1 or 0 zones ) I can use the backroll to escape and get in a zone,then start fighting. To me, with no backroll, dominion would just be skirmish with zones as an afterthought. With less maps. BTW skirmish is my favorite mode,but no one plays it. Yet they play skirmish in dominion. It makes no sense to me. Skirmish has sooooo many more better maps. People.

Maybe have it disabled in duels? It does seem to serve no function in that mode.

I can see why youre in favor of back roll.

I'm quite confident that the majority of the players are in favor of keeping the back roll. Removing such a basic maneuver would only cause more outrage toward Ubisoft.
