Tired of the same characters | Forums

[chaneke1984]

I'm so ****ing tired of fighting the same characters over and over. There are 25 characters in the game, but for obvious reasons (stupid) people always grab the same ones.
Conq, Jorm, Hito, Lawbringer, BP and Raider. The other 19 you scarce find them, I've even been in match against two Hitos, one Jorm and one Lawbro, or some combinations of those six. Sometimes there's another character from, but there's not a single match where I don't find at least 3 of the 6 I've mentioned.
And why is that? Because they are no brainer, safe to play characters. Hito can trade with a heavy on reaction because of his HA, Jorm has really broken features, Conq and BP can spam bashes over and over, and have the safest bashes of the entire game (and it's a shame people rely only on that because they have really amazing kits). Raider has broken damage, broken light animations and the fact that his tap is a combo starter is absurd, people just abuse this. Lawbringer is annoying, but I really don't have much against him, except when his bash is abused, and that is not too common.
Please, stop releasing new characters if you're not going to listen to the community and fix what you already have.
Changes on Raider have been asked since his rework, the same with Hito and Jorm.
It seems that you just neglect your community.

Uhmm how can a Lawbringer abuse his bash both his bash and Jorms is 600ms which is easy to dodge even on console. The issue with Lawbringer is his light parry punish which is 55 ish damage

Yup, that's why I said that I don't really have a problem with Lawbringer, personally I have troubles dealing with them, but I'm trying to improve on that area.
With Jorm, I believe what's wrong with him are his features, he just gets too much with no effort, and I believe that bashes that stop stamina regen should be gone altogether. Bashes should take away stamina but not stop stamina regen.

I think your point is valid. I to feel like its always the same heros. I would like OOL unblockables to be able to be blocked like regular attacks so assassin have a fighting chance in multiplayer gamemodes. This would help with diversity I think.

Try to look at the bright side; constantly matching against the same stacks of heroes presents extended exposure which can help people learn.

It might not be fun but being exposed to the same heroes again and again and again, always with different players behind the wheel, means you're constantly learning and strategizing the best possible way to deal with the heroes on either end of the casual/professional spectrum. Eventually the number of times you see these characters goes down, as it always does in the end, and when that time comes you'll be better off, better prepared, and certainly more confident in your ability to take em out. Keep at it my man! every fight is a learning opportunity.

Tbh in the current state of the game the real only broken heroes which is a huge pain to deal with is Raider. This Guy can be pick by a bad player and still perform cuz of his dmg, aoe, stacking blind and poor animations.

Anyway these heroes would be less annoying if everyone were not picking them. As already said in another post if you took Raider, BP, Hito and LB you already have 75% of the heroes you will have to fight most of Times. While we have 25 of them .. hum. This is because of that i am saying people like to play in Ez mode.
Picking those heroes is not a guaranteed win.. not at all but for sure they allow average players to compete in a much higher bracket than they should be fighting. Those heroes doesnt even require 1 rep to get good with and are overall very rewarding for such an easy offense to display (while i dont consider LB ez mode, its just that we saw them everywhere).

But as said, on my own only Raider make me angry. I am usually fine with the others even if Times to Times i got bash to death by a BP or a Hito got me with his HA.

There's never going to be such a thing as a "guaranteed win", but they are so boring and annoying to play against because every freaking time is the same over and over again with those characters.
Is so stupid how safe to play they are.
The only one that doesn't fit in that description, as I said before, and @AmonDarkGod and yourself pointed out is Lawbringer, but for some reason it's everywhere since his rework.
Ubisoft really need to tone down some little things with this safe pick characters to make people stop picking them over and over.
EZ mode shouldn't be a thing in any multiplayer game, it just gives the players who use it an advantage.

it's not an advantage since you can pick the better characters as well. you just choose not to. in any game the better characters are always picked the most

While that is true, every hero should have at least a 50/50 chance against another. You really should not be forced into playing a hero you don't like, because it's the best in the game.

Why should I be forced to pick one character that is boring as hell to play with just because is a no brainer that everyone (that is dumb) picks just because it fulfills the game Meta?

It's like playing sf5, where 80% of my matchups are against Ken.

The plus side is, you become an expert ken slayer
