Hi everyone! I know, I promised I'd be away for a long time. But today my friend asked me if I could play with him. He is rep 7 so I accepted so I can give him guidance. But man.. I gotta be honest, these couple of hours we played were the worst couple of hours of my life man. OF MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE, I HATED IT COMPLETELY
We only see light spamming Lawbringers, Valkyries and Hitokiris nowadays. EVERYONE GANKS AND LEDGES. Literally everyone. Dude there is no saving this game, I hope this game doesn't die but man... sometimes it just deserves to. If light spam and ledging is a legitimate strategy then I would rather not play, for real. Let's make all lights 300 ms, but NOT CENTURION'S. Actually let's nerf him while we're at it, huh?
This game is not an enjoyable experience anymore, I though that maybe if I would take some days off the game I would leave all the stress behind but no
Lawbringer taking half of your hp on a heavy parry, cannot attack him because of dodge bash, and he has 400 ms top light with 500 ms side lights so he can also spam you if he feels like it
Valkyrie, really unpredictable and just an annoying light spammer, cannot punish her sweep without a dodge attack (which Cent doesn't have)
Hitokiri is just a complete mess and needs nerfing
Developers aren't even considering nerfing Lawbringer's parry punishes, They wouldn't even think about doing something about the annoyance that is Valk and yeah they said they are looking into nerfing Hitokiri, I would believe them if it didn't happend AGES AGO, LIKE 4 MONTHS AGO
Just like when they said they'll rework Centurion in January and now they say we can play the rework in 2020, yeah dude LAME
Overall I find this game a stressful experience the way it is now, I enjoyed the game much much more before the release of the Y3 heroes and the ONLY good rework/changes this year were Shugoki and PK
Oh and btw the fact that you can't use regular swear words on the forums is not okay. Yeah I understand that they get censored, but why get banned for it? As long as it's not meant for another player or person I think it shouldn't be bannable

Sure getting ganked can be be annoying (personally I kinda like getting ganked) but 4v4s are just that not 1v1 x4. As for light spam there are no 300 ms lights and i'm not aware of a centurion nerf in fact he has a rework coming soon. Now the light spam itself I can imagine it could be difficult for your rep 7 friend if your opponent only uses light attacks its pretty easy to predict it and get big dmg on a parry, light spammers are doing a disservice to themselves depending on who they vs I guess.Originally Posted by TOCKSYK Go to original post
Anyway games are made to have fun so if you aren't then the best thing you can do it just have a break or just stop playing, the devs can't make this game perfect as they can't cater for everyone on 1 hand if they make every attack reactable how are you meant to kill each other, on the other hand fast attacks are hard for new players to counter

There is an alternative that I started doing, since players and even the devs refuse to admit the ganking makes people stop playing entirely. I just started playing against the AI, they gank too, but the difference is, they are mindless and players are not. This means you can actually focus on learning your character and for newer players this is something they cannot do when it is always 4v1. I lot of you older players forget the frustration of being new and never being able to actually play and enjoy the game, due to ganking. This is a real issue that is being dismissed simply because it's so easy to 4v1 someone. There are very few players besides the ones i have seen on youtube that can actually hold out longer than a few seconds against 3 or 4 players. My advice is, if you don't like playing against players that do nothing but gank, play the computer, they will still gank you, but it's easier to manage and you can learn from those situations much easier than you can in PvPOriginally Posted by Chump94 Go to original post

I can definitely understand someone being frustrated at being ganked as its pretty normal but I really enjoy the challenge of coming out on top and I mean hey even if you lose the fight they wasted their time killing you while your team gets points. But if ganking is a huge problem for some players try playing deathmatch, duels, or brawls (although on Australian pc servers the only gamemode you can get is dominion, not sure about other countries)Originally Posted by Hippieman83 Go to original post

No, it was just an over exaggeration by me, but still it doesn't justify the game being incredibly unbalanced. I know Cent is not getting nerfed but over the course of the past years all he got were nerfs,at least they could release his rework a little earlier so Cent mains can actually play the game. As it stand right now we are not playing For Honor, hell, Sekiro was easier than this, way easier. But I guess Raider is fine and Cent needs to be perfectly balanced with strong and weak spots when others don't have any weak spotsOriginally Posted by Chump94 Go to original post
I am not having fun because I can't play the hero that gives me fun. Centurion is the only fun hero for me, and Gladiator too but not as much

and I only play 2v2 and 1v1 btw. It was about 2v2, not 4v4. I completely agree with 4v4 ganksOriginally Posted by Chump94 Go to original post

Duels are really the only game mode people play besides Dominion. Every other game mode is at low activity. The only way you can experience those is to solo queue against bots. Which is sad because Tribute, Skirmish and Breach are all fun to play. Kind of sad really Ubi put all that work into those other modes, but people would rather 4v1 in dominion and flex their epeen thinking they are actually good. I quit playing against players all together simply due to the dishonorable tactics that are so commonplace among them.Originally Posted by Chump94 Go to original post

in modes like Dominion, map control should be rewarded far more than running around in a 4man deathball. if that is not the case then it's bad gamedesign quite frankly. the occasional 2v1/2v2/3v2 "gank" however is very much part of team oriented gameplay and is affected by how you are stationed around the map relative to the 3 different points, spawns and other players.
ganking in this game isn't really ganking. this is not a freeroam open world farming simulator where you are minding your own business and ALLOFASUDDEN BAM you get ambushed by random stealther at 20% hp.
this is a game focusing on fairly short matches with specific game objectives. taking advantage of whatever the game has to offer is Very much part of it and it is up to the developers to balance it accordingly. though im not saying im happy with its current state.
even in MMO's, if you get so upset by being ganked that your whole day is ruined and you stop playing the game entirely, then that shows a severe lack of character. unfortunately there are so many people today who can't even take a scratch without crying.
but if you want to succeed in anything, shaking it off and moving on is exactly what you have to do. and if you haven't learned this already, games like For Honor will teach you. or you can give up and stay bitter while forever avoiding any kind of competition in life.
teaming up on someone in a 4v4 mode is something that Should happen, although i understand the confusion since the game have various mechanics contradicting eachother and encouraging a mindless PEPEGAesque gameplay over a skilled or tactical battle.
