    How to balance a 35% win rate hero

    Nerf it more.

    I heard Shinobi option select parry is gone and I just couldn't believe it.

    I know it needed to be fixed. But nerfing the lowest % winrate hero even more without giving him anything in return is just non sense. It's taking too long to fix ****, people are leaving the game in its current state. Pretty sure more balancing actions are required or else, Ubisoft will get even more negative reviews from game enthusiasts.

    For Honor balancing promises of "soon" are as meme worthy as the game "No man's sky" promises at release. It's beyond understanding at this point just how full of ******** a company can be toward its players with their communication.

    Well that is as dumb of a complain in my opinion as the one guy who complained that basher does 6 dmg and heymaker now only 5.


    Not Fixing a broken mechanic shouldn’t be done only because the hero has a low win rate, that just stupid.

    After how much Ubisoft excessively nerfed the Shinobi last year, I am not at all surprised by this news. They called this the Year of Reckoning, but it 's really more like the "Year of Wrecking" because that's what they're doing to this game. The Shinobi needs to be reworked more than any other hero.

    Year 4 hasn’t even started and people already talk garbage about it. *slow clap*

    Also not really shinobi still is a decent hero, while I do agree that he needs a rework simply because his moveset is flawed. (Like really the only notable nerf removed property’s of shinobi which should tell a lot).

    There are some heroes who can be reworked before him in my opinion.

    Complaining about the removal of a completely broken tool is not a good look. The character could have a 2% win rate, it still wouldn't justify leaving a broken mechanic in the game.

    Oh look, Amon is back again to reply to my every post.

    I've already stated that the entire reason why I post on these forums is when the topic relates to issues that I am concerned about, so common sense would dictate that I am going to respond to Shinobi threads since I am someone who actually spent considerable time as a Shinobi main and not some player who claims that the Shinobi is viable when such a player doesn't even use the hero. And just because I reduced my forum participation, it doesn't mean that I am not going to post at all when the topic is relevant.

    The entire reason why I became active on the forums in the first place is because the Shinobi was overly nerfed in Patch 2.11. I had been a member of the forums since 2017. Prior to Patch 2.11, I hardly said anything on these forums at all, even during previous Shinobi nerfs, so that's your first clue that my activities around here directly relate to the current state of the Shinobi.

    I find it amusing that most of the biggest Shinobi critics around here didn't even join this forum community until 2019 and yet you're talking about me as if I'm the guy with the excessive posts when your own post frequency would reveal otherwise.

    I have under 350 forum posts since 2017, which is an indication of how incredibly patient I have been with For Honor.
    I've been playing this game since Beta as an early adopter, so I know what I am talking about when I say that the Shinobi is garbage compared to the other heroes and is in dire need of a rework.

    I enjoy observing the hypocrisy of a person who lectures others about constantly repeating the same stuff when such a criticism is just a constant repeat of your previous replies to other posts that I have made about Shinobi.

    Overly nerfed with 2.11?

    They removed broken property’s from shinobi, so please let that sink in.

    Shinobi before 2.11 was broken there is no talking around it and currently shinobi isn’t a strong hero but he is far from being completely trash.

    Im sure all of you would remember this when he used colours to be distinct...

    I honestly was not going to post this but this the fact that he claims to know things while he doesnt is just mind boggling. It is not shameful to admit you are wrong...
    Dude thats petty. And saying
    "I honestly was not going to post this but this the fact that he claims to know things while he doesnt is just mind boggling. It is not shameful to admit you are wrong..."
    And still proceeding with the action. Hrmm.

    Btw you also have a habit of refusing to admit you are wrong.

You're pushing them too hard. Just look at Stefan, man, he worked so hard all of his hair fell out. Give the dude a break.
    imagine taking 6+ months to re-balance an existing hero even after testing grounds but making a completely new hero in 4 months with basically no beta testing and then SELLING it to people.
