Shinobi: This hero needs a buff, urgently. He used to be a viable option but has since been nerfed straight into the ground. So much so that you only ever see Shinobi in sub rep 30 games because newer players don't know how bad he is. I understand that players were complaining about him being a bit too strong, but it was overkill to nerf him as much as Ubi did, please be less drastic with changes in future.
Black Prior: Big nerf needed, ASAP. This hero fills 3-4 slots in almost every 4v4 match because he's by far the strongest hero in the game. I think it'd be smart to make his Bulwark Counter vulnerable to unblockables and give him a slight stamina reduction. Its mind boggling to me that he's the only hero with a counter to the hammer in the LTM, it looks like Ubi has created their new little blue eyed boy and he keeps getting attention no matter how much the community complains about him.
Ranked Mode: How is this still a "Beta"? I can guarantee if you remove the word "Beta" from the ranked playlist it would see a lot more players, people still thinks it's incomplete, and if it is incomplete then why has Ubi left it gathering dust for so long? Just finish it, we want a bigger competitive scene and a chance to gauge player's skill level other than just looking at their total reps (which is extremely inaccurate 90% of the time in terms of skill representation).
Reconnecting: Its so lazy that Ubi still hasn't taken the time to add a reconnect feature to almost any of their PVP based games, especially considering how unstable a lot of their games are. Why should I deal with a 15min ban and sitting out the rest of the game if it's not my fault for leaving? Why is there even a penalty on casual games? It's CASUAL, I'm not there to be a sweaty, I'm there to play casually. Sure, have a penalty for leaving ranked matches, but people fill bot spaces in casual anyways so a penalty is not necessary.

I can agree with pretty much everything you have mentioned here. Shinobi does need some love but not too much. Black Prior really is a problem and most of the time when im fighting him, people abuse his shield bash and basically get a lot of almost 100% free hits aside from being so heavily used. Other heroes are also a problem with spam light attacks too. all i mostly see people using the majority of assassin heroes, orochi, shaman, peacekeeper, and sometimes gladiator they just light spam attack and nothing else and a lot of time with heroes like orochi is fast enough that you sometimes cant even block or do anything at all. the only defense really for players who dont have a strong block and parry defense can do is grab a similar hero and light spam back at them to fight them and thats not a fun fight. It's a huge problem and light attacks on assassins i think need to use a little more stamina but not too much. shinobi is the only assassin that i actually see players not light spam. as far as ranked i do think that it needs to come out of beta after also seeing it be there for so long. most people only play dominion on pc for pvp and the other modes are only being played when people have orders for those modes after they are done back to dominion its just the best mode for most people that are doing something other than duels. the reconnecting is also an issue for a lot of people that also needs to get taken care of because even with my good internet i do get disconnected from time to time just not as much as other who have less of a strong connection than me and they get disconnected a lot more often so its not just effecting people with a poor connection its everyone. please fix a lot of this stuff. and at least make the light attacks cost a little more stamina so they dont get abused by everyone. ive seen a rep 70 shinobi only light attack spam just to beat players. and that was just the standard light attack which was two lights repeated until i was dead and i couldnt do anything. its that much of a problem that a lot of players expecially new ones are abusing without any real penalty at all. also jorm could use some new moves too that are not punch to ground and hammer slam because thats all he is good for. hito is broken. why is hito the only hero that has a feat that is also the default first feat that prevents damage and interruption during executions? his famous 4th feat is fine as there is a way to avoid it but that execution protection feat why? all hito players love that and its the most broken feat because he gets the execution with no risk while EVERY other hero can be killed while they are execution people NERF THAT FEAT! all the enemy can do is wait until after the execution. its the most broken feat that needs to be nerfed or replaced with something less broken.
