If you got any ideas, or feedback, please write them, im more than happy to look at what you guys think and adjust to post so that if somehow the ubisoft staff looks at this, to seem fairly balanced.
Anyway thank you so much for reading this far, you are a true legend.

Im not sure about the damage values for Vortiger.
And Conq is even more bashy and more defensive now so not sure about that. Nobushi and HL seems fine tho

hm, thanks for the feedback
what do you suggest for conq tho, his only "real" bash is the one from neutral
and about vortiger, adding the shield speed and delay up would make his shield miss quite alot, thus improving his damage to put more pressure

and about lawbringer? anything really ?

---

Also tried my best to kinda remove his option select with the new zone and removing the superior armor on charged heavies
but i guess the black prior fullblock and recovery make it real good

You are buffing heroes that are already in the top half of the crew. Seriously, other heroes (other than Nobushi) need help a lot more than those you listed.

Buffing your pick of heroes before the others makes no sense if you are trying to balance this game.

Got any other suggestions for heroes ?
I only thought of these ones, if you got any i would add them.

Currently Conq BP and Lawbringer need no further buffs. Conq and Lawbringer need nerfs to their defense. Black Prior is fine right now.
Highlander's damage values are quite overtuned as well. He already deals too much damage he only needs 500ms lights and maybe something that would stop people from rolling away from his kick caber toss mixup

People were complaining about lawbringer and his parry punishes right ?, will tweak some damage values for his punishes.
For highlander, i thought the damage increases could help him really punish heroes thinking he will enter CS, and about to combo, other than increasing the range of his caber toss there is nothing i can think of.

IF you got ideas for his and direct values changes i will for sure tweak them, but right now i will do small changes to conq, lawbringer and highlander

Im actually out of ideas to nerf conq's defense, it's mostly this stigma of him being a turtle god even tho i already stripped one of his more powerful option select with the charged unblockable.
I actually don't know what's so good about him, the no guardbreak thing on his heavies, the superior block on netural, is it the zone, already tweaked that and specified full block doesn't happen since it's a swipe.

Have you watched the "state of balance" stream ?? Pretty much every single reflex guard hero in the game (other than gladiator) needs to be buffed at the moment.
