Any word on a shinobi rework? | Forums

[Chump94]

So I haven't been keeping up with news about this game in a while and was wondering if there was any word on some work on shinobi because there isn't any other hero that gives me such a headache when I play them.

Does he really need a rework or do you need to change your play style with him after his nerfs?

I can usually smash shinobi’s but once a night one will pop up and make me think he is broken AF, so much stamina drain, mixups, attacks and GB from distance IN combos. People who can play him good wreck me, while most others are just cannon fodder.

Obviously a good enough player can make anything look good, I'm currently rep 52 with him and I can do well sometimes but the fact is his kit is sorely lacking any pressure. There is no need to even try parrying a shinobi he doesn't have an unblockable, undodgable and his kick is pretty easy to dodge, on top of that his light deflect is only 13 dmg and has the least health in the game. It would at least be nice to be able to light, heavy, light or something as well but instead all you get are 2 hit combos.

Also It doesn't feel right that although he is my main and has the highest rep I do better with almost every other character even if they only have a couple of reps.

Lol. Yeah, his playstyle is the problem, not the hero being infamously useless for a year.

🤣🤣🤣🤣....

Shinobi is in a bad spot... that sh1t should be obvious. A year is generous too he wasnt great before that either lol.

I dont play the char so i dont know how he could be fixed. *shrugs*

I'm not aware of any Shinobi reworks, but I have seen some players say they don't feel he's particularly useful in the game's current meta. It sounds like you may share this sentiment where you feel he doesn't have a very versatile kit which makes using him in duels and 4s a bit more difficult than other heroes?

Come on man...

For more than a year the feedback on threads have been flooding with shinobi rework subjects.
By this time you already know what the playerbase wants. They have been elaborating A LOT on what he lacks and even gave a TON of solutions on how to fix it.

You don't really need to keep asking people anymore on how they feel about him and don't do anything about it..

This kind of pisses me off tbh

Yup.

[MrGrippz]

Yup.

Yup yup. Its clear he needs some help & alotta dedicated players have made very long, detailed suggestion threads.

If the devs arent thinking about a rework, the whole community is gonna be talking about it cuz they've already been talking about him needing a rework drastically.

I think my main problem with shinobi are his combos or lack thereof, when all you have is light, light or heavy, light it feels like you just have 1 hit combos and is hard to flow into anything else afterwards, also his ranged attacks probably shouldn't go so far.

The amount of times you guys keep asking the same questions over and over again really shows that you aren't listening to this community. As WolfenTank said, we've been giving you all this information for over a year now. You can't keep pretending like this is new information to you and that you'll look into it. It's clear that the team have no plans to rework shinobi. I would rather the team just admit that rather than constantly dragging us through the mud on the hope that one day a rework will come.
