yeah, I get you completely. Also, Nobushi was my very first main in this game and f*ck, you couldn't kill anything if they didn't attack. With changes to HS, she's so much worse. 500ms lights not worth losing that defence. I didn't have much problem with hitokiri, so I didn't notice the nerfs, because I usually prefer counter-attacking. I get that Hitokiri could seem strong against heroes with no bash, but if that's the reason he got nerfed, why the hell there is still tiandi with fast undodgeable and safe dodge, berserker with hyper armour, etc.Erhanninja
Jorg is probably the worst designed in this game. I dont know what the hell they did with him in TG but he is even more cancer. Why the hell give a move only attacks stamina? There is no punish only reward. Stamina is big topic in this game but they give him punch. How incompetent. It is ganking god move in 4v4. They call it synergy with other heroes we call it ganking. What were they thinking. Its is nearly impossible to dodge and gimmicky as hell to dodge. Just punch boom on the floor 50 damage plus 50 shield on top. Good luck closing that gap in you aren't ganked and dead yet. Attacks animations being very subtle was brought up before but they go give this guy smallest attack animation ever. Punch also stops stamina regeneration.
I have the same problem. I play as Nobu and since Season 1 she got nothing but nerf over and over. Feats damage moves everything. No offence no defence no opener no HA no UB no soft feint no gap closer no stamina.
Then I thought oh I will play Hito since I cant deal with light spam. Then they nerfed her to the ground too. People kept crying about her HA even though Shugoki Zerk even Jorg has better HA. Her heavies are so slow now people can land a heavy and take a step back safely. Even dodge it then parry it plenty of time. Just to do same damage with others.
The developers just do not respect time invested in heroes. They just pump out new heroes with zero regard how it affects older ones. Shugoki and Warden got reworked and then just got countered by most of Wu Lin who have undodgeable, unblockable, canceable dodges, bash, crush encounter, etc. Not 1-2 tools, but several in one hero. Only Nuxia and a new hero seem fair. The rest... yeah, they are not OP, but also not fair to fight against.
Yeah, Wu Lin faction brought you money, but instead if all that effort went into rebalancing and redesigning older heroes (giving them these new tools), making changes to combat would have brought larger player-base. Classic 2D fighting games are popular thanks to the balance first and then the additional heroes. They don't just each year add 1-2 more heroes that put down the rest of the roster. Yeah, there are some imbalanced, some fighters weaker, but all of them have a fair chance to use their gimmicks.

So do I understand this correctly? Your problem with better designed characters is them having some actually viable mixups, whereas HLs kit is pretty much broken? And that the Testing Grounds not only not remedy that, but worsen this disparity? Huh. Interesting.
Now remember that these changes are only temporary, unfinished ones for us to test and give feedback on. There even is a survey! So instead of insulting the Devs for actually trying to make change happen for once, how about you make a concise list of the problems you encountered and possible ways of allieviateing them so that they know what to change and how.
They are finally making an effort to better this game you love. Be polite and help them with it.

1) People have been complaining about highlander for a long time. Not much of a response here.Col.Bullet

2) Bug in regards to OS light hasn't been fixed still, which is quite important, since it makes flawed OS even more flawed.
3) response in here from the moderator or whoever it is who said "did you try gb?" instead of "I take it up with the team" says a lot. (yeah, they said something similar in a new topic, but it's the usual phrase)
4) damage balance in TG in 2nd patch doesn't promise much. Assassins still have upperhand. Wu Lin still have more tools, same/bigger damage.
5) seeing how important members left the development team, it is clearer that resources are getting more and more limited, but they are spent towards pumping out new heroes and maps rather than the base issue.
6) centurion rework still not here. That means Highlander and other heroes will have to wait for a long time.
7) I showed my concerns last year about Wu Lin faction just as many other people who said mechanically they have a lot more than the base heroes.
8) At this point, it's hard for me to be civil. I invested my time into a character, learnt how to fight, customised it, spent steel. I can't play multiple heroes, I just pick one and play that character. Giving up nobushi and then aramusha made me just take a break for a year. I freaking hate how people care more about money and novelty rather than respect. Even giving armour to everyone except Highlander, aramusha and few others is annoying. I understand if only new heroes got it, but the way it is now, I don't see much of a logic in that. Delay it by a month and then give new armour to each hero or, at least, give it later, but make it fair.
9) I like the spirit of this game a lot. The idea behind it. So, forgive me, if I am calling someone an idiot, because they are ruining it in my opinion. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
