Overal I like the changes. I play on PS4, and it was hard to react to lights even then. So now I just don't feel the difference) they are nearly unreactable and mostly you have to guess.
Warmonger is a pretty strong hero with 33/33/33 bashGB casino. A strong hero, but not an OP. Except for 4x4. Where she shines in all her glory. And her perks make everyone cry and suffer.
Issue about her, is that after her bash-light/heavy do not give you the frame advantage. It's always her turn.
Same story with warlord. He just throws his lights, and you are forced to block everything he throws at you. No frame advantage for you.
Some number adjustments should be done. Some heroes do have overtuned damage.
Overall - good update. Nothing really changed on consoles. The game feels a bit different, but I still enjoy it.
Keep the good work and fix some issues with the CCU. And everything will be perfect.
The whole point of the outcry in the forums is exactly what you said and what you pointed out. Problem is, you do not realise those mechanics are bad.
"its always her turn, wait for your turn, its a casino and you have to guess" THIS. THIS. SHOULD. NOT. HAVE. PLACE. AT. ALL!
If i want to "wait for my turn" to attack, i play ******* turn based game. If i want to have a RNG based experience i play RNG based game. See the problem here? This is NEITHER.
If we accept the "oh its enemy turn to attack now, i better wait for my turn, hurrr" stance, why not erase every other mechanics other than attack, slap a turn based system that will make your own arena around you Final Fantasy style and call it a day? Why not just stand in front of eachother and commence into a slapfest, let the one with higher dmg output win...

The changes are ****. I play on pc, before you can react to light now I cant because of the delayed indicators preventing react on red, turning the game into a light spam fest for those who have less than perfect internet. I only range between 30-50 latency so I am the average that ubi decided to ****. If you want to react to lights you prob need fiber internet which is bs.

I do agree the bash is too janky the timing has no consistency which is what ubi said they would bring (apparently they lied).

Maybe make his lights very slightly slower but it's not really a prob

Pk is useless as she cant deal enough damage now. Shinobi always was nerfed to the ground for a while but now hes impossible to play as he is now a glass cannon without the damage or the ability to land a hit. Highlanders offensive stance light is now useless as you cant use it in a combo anymore with running out of stamina. Why haven't yall fixed shugos demon embrace, I'm tired of sliding into his arms after he grabs the air. Aramusha heavies are too slow he was fine before the update. Raiders unblockable doesnt do enough damage. Nuxia has an easier time light spamming due to the indicator delay.
Any hero with a sword is a light spammer since the indicator is delayed and there aren't enough movement to predict the direction of a sword light. Lb has no ability to start as he can now be knocked out a bash and his lights are too slow.
Overall - trash update. All fights are now 1 sided and boring. The game feels a tragically different to the point that you are losing yet even more players.
Do something good and fix the issues with the CCU or revert to the sys before the CCU.
If I don't see a fix soon enough il prob stop playing for honor and play mordhau.
