    Do something with reflex guard already

    Arguably the worst mechanic in the game right now imo. I can't play Gladi or Shaolin or any other hero with RG cause its a death sentence in ganks. You are like a punching bag getting hit from every damn direction cause of this crap. When will this be taken out of the game??

    I have been whining about this ever since they took away the clunkiness of the static guard and started giving everyone fast lights. They destroyed the assassin identity long ago so they should have done guard standardization. I would rather see everyone have reflex guards instead of all static guards but the most import thing is that they make everyone have identical guards.

    Yeah i don't really see the point of it now, fair enough if it's only there for deflect mechanic but that's all specific timing anyway. Assassin's already have lower health pools in the first place, so i don't see the issue of giving everyone the same guard.

    Yup, remove reflex and give everyone static guard stance.

    Agreed, it has no place in the fame anymore. Everyone's attacks have beed sped up.

    Or devs can give us a better time frame for parry and/or deflects. Or maybe a delay on the red markers of our attacks.

    In the beginning reaction guard was in exchange for being the class with the fastest attacks. Also static guard was slower to change direction, so it was balanced.

    Now everyone got fast lights and the static guard was normalized in their delays, but the assasins keep the handicaps of using reactive guards. This situation is detrimental without any benefit.

    So if devs want to keep the Assassins identity unchanged they should also provide us with some benefit to keep the things balanced.

    Vanguard, heavies and hybrids have only pros, but us only cons with this situation.
