Shinobi is unplayble | Forums

Look at this guy

"Give me numbers!"

We give him numbers(from ubi itself) and point out(we dont supply these numbers but they are easily available with a google search) the METRIC NUMBERS that define the shinobis attacks and how they are weak and he says:

"You cant just look at the raw numbers"
'Only ubi knows'

And he gets into a semantics denial argument.

Yeah im done. Lonewolf you are a contradictory idiot. Laters

Well if you want the stats from ubisoft here they are https://forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en...ance-hope-y4s1 . as you can see even in dominion (where he performs the best becuz of ganking) he's still at the bottom which correct me if I'm wrong I don't think has changed since I started playing since the warden rework.

Now this is something we can discuss. If this was previously posted, I apologize for missing it. So looking at those numbers, yeah, he’s at the bottom, but I also noticed his pick rate is also at the bottom. unless I’m reading that wrong, he’s not getting represented much at all, which would definitely equate to bottom numbers across the board. Sure that might mean he’s a crap toon, but could that also mean that maybe people just don’t like him? What were the pick stats before the nerf? I’m legitimately asking btw.

IIRC his pick rate has always been low even when he was considered strong because he required some serious practice before you could utilize his broken tools properly. The easiest way to figure this tho, to be sure, would be to go back through previous "state of balance" articles in For Honor's website news archive and look at the grids and pick rates. keep in mind tho even that low of a pick rate is still a large amount of players when abstracted that way.

And no worries about not seeing the link earlier those things sometimes get missed.

There are so many things dog**** about Shinobi right now.
He has no consistent openings to start a fight. He has a combo of only 2 lights or heavy.
His kick takes way to long to actually kick while other heroes (BP, Tiandi) have an faster bash than Shinobi.
Doesn't his parry bleed doesn't stack? Not sure about that one.
His kick also gets cancelled way to easy compared to other heroes. Just attack him.
He has the lowest hp in the whole game. So low that you are already dead before you can get a revenge sometimes.

And this all has been going for a bloody year without any balance change.
