Spamming is so unfair | Forums

It's completely broken how some players use the same combo over and over. I mean how dare they make themselves so predictable? What am I supposed to do? There's just no solution. The hero I'm having trouble with must need a nerf. Mixups are too confusing. I can only parry and punish heavy attacks. no more light attacks. Assasins won't hold still and let me hit them. Heavies hit too hard. Everytime I run out of stamina and dodge away I get grabbed and knocked down. How is that fair?

It seems contradictory to say that the opponent is so predictable and yet you struggle against this allegedly predictable combo because the mixups are confuising, I can't tell whether or not this thread is just a joke, which hero are you referring to?

I mean some people are looking for a casual gaming experience where they don't need to sink 100+hours into the game just to be below average skill. Hard to do that with such fast pace gameplay. Bit unfair to mock them for taking the time to voice their opinions. They clearly care somewhat.

If your opponent is being predictable and you're still failing to properly deal with it some of the blame is on yourself.
About the only give I can do here is acknowledge that there is a disparity between heros due to the design/updates of some being head and shoulders above others.

A decent example of this is Raider vs like half the cast. If you compare his offensive/mix up capabilities to some other highly regarded good heros he's actually not that great. But if you compare him to people like orochi, aramusha, highlander, etc he's leagues ahead of them. And this is more because these heros are super poor rather than Raider being a god tier hero.

Fair point, Canadian. The mockery may have been uncalled for. I have logged a lot of hours because this is my go to game for just doing something with my hands while I listen to a podcast or something, so I guess I might not count as casual myself anymore, despite the fact that I'm still only ok at the game and, although I do my best to win, I don't take winning or losing very seriously.

If I don't count as a casual for honor player I certainly do count as casual in all the other games I play. It wouldn't have occurred to me to ask that the rules of those games be changed to make me better at them.

In any case I didn't intend to direct the mockery at frustrated newbies, so I guess I messed up twice with this one. I intended to go after people who are apparently serious enough to know the actual number values of an attacks damage and speed. People who, based on the evidence that they repeatedly lose matches to the same hero or strategy, conclude that it's broken and ask for nerfs, or think they're entitled to tell their opponents how to play. As opposed to treating it as, you know, a game, finding fun in trying to beat a new hero that's too tough, or using the hero they think is the coolest despite it maybe being weaker, and then not acting like losing a for honor match is some kind of injustice.

I dunno, I've always been a little bad at video games, so maybe I'm the weird one when I can lose a few times and think "I haven't figured this out yet," rather than "this game is unfair"

competitive and casual dont mix. it always goes south when games try to attract the casual audience to a game that needs to be competitive to thrive.

Which heroes are you having trouble with specifically?

[Sweaty_Sock]

I miss the old GB mechanic on lights - used to be if you blocked a chain and threw a gb straight away, if they were just blindly buffering lights you'd grab them

In case everyone except Canadian missed it, which kind of seems to be the case, the OP is being sarcastic and poking fun at common complaints seen on the forum! Your sincere advice and offers of assistance are kind, but misdirected in this instance!

[Ubi-RealDude]

Closing this thread since it is trolly/tongue-in-cheek by admission of the OP but is still capable of causing undue conflict to come from the responses.

Please make sure your threads are genuine or, barring that, at least not flippantly stoking the fires of hotly discussed topics.
