The only ones in the group you mentioned I would agree with need some tweaks is possibly Kensei for having too many soft feint options and his side dodge heavy being far too safe and basically immune to GB punish and JJ but mainly just for his ludicrous parry punish stamina drain and Sifu stance being a bit too effective. Other than that I just personally find JJ annoying with his ridiculous fat old man ballerina mess... he can just be unfun to fight for me but that's totally a personal issue of mine.
Are you just coming back to the game since the CCU came out? If so, I suggest to just give it some time to get into the flow of things and start playing a bit more aggressively and erratically as many players of your similar skill level will have trouble parrying or shutting you down out right. Other players have gotten used to the CCU and just have the upper hand on you right now which I imagine is frustrating.
If we are talking about Dominion matches though, the best advice I could offer is just to turn off your pride desire to always be victorious because although it is by far the most popular mode, any experienced player would probably admit it is often a complete mess. Unbalanced feats and constantly getting attacked while stuck in an animation combined with the amount of unblockables and bashes and then adding in the higher than usual population of players that play oppressive heroes or heroes that have a mechanic that is easy to "cheese" with when it comes to 4s and you have a strong recipe for salt and frustration. You will eventually become numb to it and the constant bad manner and troll like behavior of a concerning percentage of people in Dom. Many of these people truly are just memeing and having fun as apposed to having anti social/sociopathic tendencies where they enjoy ruining the fun of others or making them angry. Its can be difficult or impossible to know the difference and you can be playing your at your best in Dom and still get screwed over completely out of your control so it just doesn't do yourself any good to let it get to you or discourage you.
Think of Dom as a place to practice defense from multiple incoming attackers, a place to quickly increase hero reputation, and a place to just kind of enjoy the chaos and be entertained by the other people playing who don't follow what I am saying and give you bonus attraction throwing salt and shade around. Use duels and brawls to take things a bit more serious and show off the true extent of your reflexes and tactics in a mostly balanced environment. Just my two cents.
If you been around since beta like myself, this game has a special place in your heart even when its at its worst or most frustrating. We all know how it is. If you have been playing for a while since the CCU and feel this way, just take break for a while bro and come back fresh. We all gotta do it from time to time and just lurk the forums in the meantime.
Good luck, see you guys on the battlefield!
