If the hammer hobo's bash is 600 ms, it's the fastest 600 ms I've ever seen. Neutral bash maybe that slow, but their combo bash is at most 500 ms. Jorm is trash in 1v1 because they rely on oppressive mechanics that skilled/focused players can avoid or at least parry their lights from time to time. The problem is, in 4v4's both hammer hobos and creepy axe nerds have a tendency to just faceroll their way to victory. It's not even that they're OP, it's just that they're both really obnoxious in team fights and questionable 1v1. Also, thinking about it, I'm getting the feeling that they are balanced around their feats. Which is kind of silly in a game where there are game modes that don't use them.
Exactly, their strengh isn't really the issue here : what is a problem is that they simply are one trick pony with a really, and i mean REALLY frustrating main mechanic that they just spam until someone dies. It's not, in any way, an healthy design for a character and i really think ubi should learn how bad this ind of thing is for their game. It's simply ruins the fun and fighting against thins kind of crap, especially when it's spammed intensively by 2 or even 3 characters in 4v4 can be a really unamusing experience, no matter who wins in the end.
