Late replay here.
Top priority Imo should be Shinobi and HL.
Shinobi need a real rework of his kit.. many very Nice suggestions have been made on the forum and i hope the devs can take it as an exemple.
HL cuz he is far too match up dependant and still working with 600ms lights. He should got 500ms DL and maybe an undodgeable moove in his kit (no idea where i am only rep4 HL) and in another hand a dmg nerf to his UB from 40 to 35dmg.
After that a lot of small things needs to be done:
-Warden : Nerf his CC by 10dmg. It would still be 45dmg for a CC which is more than enough
-Conq : Reduce his defensive option and give him a better offensive flow outside of SB spam
-PK : recent changes are Nice but i think she still needs more. Like Dodge attacks chaining or an UB somewhere.
-LB : slighly reduce his parry punish and his HP pool
-BP : still increase a bit his recovery on SB, its still very safe to spam
I dont say anything about Cent and Glad because of TG but i gess things will be needed even after their release.
-Raider : Nerf his combo zone, top heavy and side heavy finisher by 5 dmg.
-WL : buff his damn broken FB.
-Valk : buff her shield tackle so she can Dodge out of it. Buff dmg to her chain light from 15-13-12 to 16-14-13.
-Jorme : buff his range/aoe a bit, reduce his stam dmg at least on a parry and reduce at least by 5dmg his slam.
-Shugo : delay his HA on light
-Roch : give him his Tozen kick !
-Musha : Reduce a bit his dmg overall and gave him better access to his BB options
-Hito : nerf her opener HA by 100ms and buff her 4th feat Senbonzakura at least. Dodge heavy should deal 5 less dmg as well but chain.
-Nuxia : fix her deflect

Based solely on who has recieved the least significant touches relevant to their date of release:
Highlander and Aramusha.
Aramusha has basically only bit hit with the nerf hammer kit wise, while having his dmg buffed to OP levels to sorta bandaid/compensate. He has literally never seen even close to a rework. They nerfed his kit then have repeatedly screwed with the speed and dmg of his moves and thats it, despite how blaringly flawed his kit is especially now when lined up against the current bash heavy cast. I mean seriously if his damage per frame and attack speed was as low and balanced as others on the roster, he would easily become the bottom of the barrel. The only comparable people dmg output wise are raider and kensei right now, and Aramusha's moves are FASTER. And it's funny cause people say raider is overtuned. Aramusha is too, its just his kits so bad that without the damage over tuning he'd be useless.
Like balance is one thing I know that shinobi still needs work (especially after they weird ganked him)
But Aramusha freaking deserves some effort right now. more than any other hero IMO.
Didnt HL just get buffed? Musha is pretty damn powerful (high skill required though to use his kit to its full extent) - shino maybe? I was playing Shino after everyone said it was nerfed to the dirt but seems still a viable option just needs to have the ranged attacks tweaked to remove the GB max punish & the knock over effect, something simple like countering shiio causing a quick stumble animation (i.e. not fall) that did flat damage would be a better approach so the punish is balanced out and not dependent on the hit of the other characterOriginally Posted by KingOfThe735 Go to original post
I'd say Jorm - just a broken fundamental design
