So. It's time for another talk about everyone's 100% most loved character ever... The Orochi. He needs a new rework BADLY. I've played this game since it's initial release, first on xbox then to PC, and absolutely loved the game when it came out. On release and even in open Beta the Orochi was a GODLY character almost. And so it wasn't much of a surprise when the playerbase started to complain about how OP he was. But now, in my own opinion, he's even worse now than he was at launch. Both in the sense that nobody rarely ever plays him anymore or when they do, it's just light spams. And in the sense that he is one of the worst choices when it comes to any gamemode that isn't a 1v1. And even then, he's still pretty bad. Based on this link https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Tier_list (Although it may be a bit outdated, I'm not quite sure), he is one of the lowest tier heroes in the game and has very little to no viability in the game. People who main him rely on either high ping/FPS or they rely on simply being much higher skilled than the other player (which tends to end up really just being a rep 145 going orochi against a rep 30 or something of the sort.) Now, I'm not saying the rework already given to him was bad. It did have many good things added to it, such as the undodgable attacks and being able to change what side your storm rush comes from. It really all just depends on what the playerbase thinks needs changed. If anything, put up some ideas for new orochi moves or changes he could use and see the reactions to them. Hope ya all have a good day, I'd be interested in hearing what everyone has to say on this matter.
P.S.
Some non-anime executions are okay to put out ubisoft. Don't have to stick with that line of executions with him...

Improvements are coming for him in small doses like Ubi said in a QnA episode of the Warrior's Den.
The most recent improvements I can recall for him were the speed increase for his top opener and his finisher side lights and the speeding up of his sprint speed and sprint attack.
In this season's mid season patch he received nothing so we can only look toward Year 4 in terms of future improvements.
