Raider needs a buff, or a new rework. Because Raider is just trash when it comes to unblockables. Because every game i come across characters that is bullying Raider around. And Raider has been my main since launch, and that was 3 years ago. So please give him some new unblockables or attack speed. Because when i go against Black Prior, i lose 99% of the time because of the shieldbash and light. And i cant seem to dodge the shield bash what so ever. And i feel like trash, and the fact is that im not trash, its just that i get so frustrated because of this.
Raider has an answer to BP's shield bash in the form of side dodge storming tap on reaction to seeing the bash. If 99% of the BP's you face are bashing constantly it shouldn't be that difficult to use Raider's dodge attack at least on prediction. If the BP is reacting to your neutral zone with a bash or zone option select then try to bait them out and hard feint into a side dodge storm tap. If they are bashing you or lighting you on reaction to seeing your chain zone then start hard feinting it into a dodge attack, other side light or just hard feinting and seeing what they do so you can determine their pattern.
There is nothing particularly wrong with Raider's unblockables apart from his chain zone being stuffable on reaction. Raider's problem is that ever since the removal of stun tap he no longer has the ability to continue his offence after landing a tap. For something that he has to consume over half his stamina for - ublockable zone into storming tap - in order to use it as a viable opener that's a really problematic issue for the character's offence. Offence being something the devs constantly blow smoke up our butts about improving and yet they continually take offence away from heroes that have it while designing defensive heroes like Hitokiri and Jorm and also Zhanhu; a hero whose offence is worse that what most Season 1 heroes had.
Are you serious? Do you understand how badly other things need to be done before raider gets more attention? He just had half a year dedicated to him ffs.Originally Posted by MAGNAROK-YT Go to original post
We need:
- Revenge fixes
- matchmaking fixes
- external indicator fixes
- feat reworks
- Breach rework
- cent rework
- nobushi rework
- highlander rework
- orochi rework
- shinobi rework
- pk rework
- shaolin rework
- nuxia rework
- zhanhu rework
- jormungander rework
At this point seriously who gives a crap about raider. Half the cast of heroes are unplayable in comparison. Revenge is in an extremely bad place right now due to inconsistencies Matchmaking can take up to 5 minutes even in dominion and the lag issues in this game are unreal. Feats need a lot of changes because certain characters have all the good ones while others have nothing. Pk's feats vs lawbringer's feats for example. Screw raider (for now at least). The team has infinite amounts of work to do and most people would be upset if they waste anymore potential rework time on that dude.
Oh my god. If only half the community thinks roughly the same way as Canadian does (I do), then why doesn't the For Honor team not work on those points that really matter?
Ah right, yes, because there is a lot of unimportant stuff that regularly makes the "headlines" because some players prefer winning about a balanced game :/
At this point, , as Canadian pointed out, we have a whole bracket of heroes that has major problems, their viability dimishing fast at certain skill levels.
What reworking Breach means though, I dunno. It is still one of my favorite modes.
Breach is heavily skewed towards defenders and promotes spawnkilling over actual objective. If you were unaware, breach is undergoing a rework right now and will be released in season 1.Originally Posted by Herbstlicht Go to original post

While the nerf on Raider was a bit too hard.. he is still very strong, at least in 4s.Originally Posted by MAGNAROK-YT Go to original post
Arround half the Cast need attention before him.
No. He was OP for nearly a full year, deal with it, no more easy mode. There are way more heroes in greater need of attention than him.Originally Posted by MAGNAROK-YT Go to original post
