    Seething hatred for the samurai faction

    I always have a good laugh about people who actually defend these scum heroes. Cancer number one is kensei. He's just a fancier orochi with 3 times longer reach. Why does he still have that damn dodge attack move? It negates EVERY mixup in the game. He could win the whole ******g match with that one move. Raiders dodge GB got removed so why not remove kenseis dodge attack? Boohoo my shinobi is so weak now, yeah right, he takes half your hp with one deflect. In domi they just hang back and offscreen fish in ganks. Don't even get me started on the fat guys and hitos heavy timings. They are still cancer as ever in domi. Why all the whining that they got nerfed? I don't notice it at all. They would still be OP even if their damage was halved. I ******g hate you samurai players. Drunken rant over. Go ahead and ban me, i'm ******g done posting here anyway.

    The only real thing people complain about from the nerfs was the delaying the sweep and removing starter heavy hyper armour both was read based and gave a hito additional ways to get in to his mix ups.

    Calling hito and shug OP is beyond stupid in my opinion, Goki is a mediocre hero with bad mix ups and hito is even with the changes before his last nerf a perfectly fine hero design.

    Getting beaten by Shug or hito is purely your own fault. (Pretty much the same goes for Kensei)

    OP maybe not, guess i used your trigger word there huh. Still torture to deal with them in any kind of situation. The two HA abusers you can never parry, they force you to turtle and look for an opening. I can't deal with kensei thats the truth. Imo the only way to beat him is to parry his light when he is spamming it but i'm too slow to pull off constant light parries. No other heroes get on my nerves as they do.

    Eh shug kinda can abuse his hyper armour on light, not really on heavys.

    Hitos heavy attack hyper armour was 600ms in to the attack meaning hito had to do a read.

    Finisher light hyper armour is almost not worth talking about and same goes for his charges heavy.

    Neither of them force you in to turtling.

    If you get spammed by Kensei then that’s kinda your fault.

    If you got trouble playing aginst samurais then practice aginst them, the game is mostly just muscle memory and game knowledge.

    I have some problems against kensei but I use pk, he is a natural pk killer. The other two, c'mon they are average, hito was very good a year ago... Now not so much.

    Kensei is easy to parry at least his dodge attacks. Just put the training arena with that single attack for an hour. You should be able to do it live after.

    A week ago I blanked three zero a kensei dodge attack spamer. He was winning in four vs four cause the match was lagging and his attacks passed trough my blocks and also his mates distracted me. In Duel I erased him like nothing. You can't feint dodge attacks or cancel them, so is a easy parry. You can bait them easy too.

    Oh, it was enlightening to read this. I thought I have to read mixups, but I had the power to negate them by using dodge attacks. I don't understand why nobody from the better players realized that this is the way to negate offense- it must have a reason, but I have no idea what.

    Also, you forgot to include Nobushi. She has not one, but TWO (2!!!) dodge attacks. That is twice as broken as Kensei.

    The forum is not a safe space for one's rants. r/forhonorrants is your designated home for this.
    Probably should also seek out some AA while you're at it. Wouldn't hurt to take care of two issues at once.
