    Why Do YOU Hate Kensei?

    So, I used to haaaaate fighting Kensei's. I still kinda do depending on the char i pick [cough mfn assassins cough].

    I picked up Kensei about 6 weeks ago, was only level 11 from a test run in the beginning of the game. Now im rep 15 with em.

    His only truly good moves are his side dodge heavy & his top heavy to side soft feint w/ hyperarmor.

    Everything else is basic on em. Why is it yall think he needs a slight nerf or why does he feel frustrating to fight?

    Only thing really is the safety of the side dodge heavy. If it was a little less safe, kensei would be fine again, but dodge on red + low gb vulnerability is super annoying.

    I am a rep 55 Kensei main, btw, so you know this is a legit opinion. Lol

    So similar to JJs gb vulnerability? Cuz JJ and even Zhanhu get gb'ed out of side dodge atks all the time.

    I would say it should be gbable like pk. Or it should be an enchanced light attack instead of a heavy if we want it to be a guardbreaks.

    Hate that bloody fighter due to every single nub in breach are using heavys to kill pikemen meaning it is impossible to do anything near it, as all you get is team damage and animation interupts.
    Light kills the same amount of pikemen whitout ******g up nearby freindly players!.

    Want to hit kensei?
    Side dodge heavy.
    Want to bash kensei?
    Side dodge heavy.
    Want to breathe?
    Side dodge heavy.
    Oh but hey, you can pretend to hit kensei, and then parry his side dodge heavy, and then.... you can uh... um.... light attack him one time, before he side dodge heavys again...and again... and again... and again...
    If all kensei did was side dodge heavy, you would have to parry him 20 times, light attack him 20 times, and you would have to do it right in a row without fail, because if he lands it even one time all your health is gone. You cant touch him, but hey at least you can pretend to hit him.
    When a rep 250 cant beat a rep 1 kensei, ubisoft is nowhere to be found.
    Silence.... do you hear that? Crickets...

    This isnt mentioning how fast his lights are, how much damage they do, how much stamina he has. All of which are broken beyond belief. You want to win every single game without even trying? Kensei is the hero for you. Kensei needs a HUUUUUGE nerf, and if he doesnt get it, it would literally be better if he were completely removed from the game.

    Lol. I wouldn't say Kensei is THAT bad. It's just his side dodge heavy that needs to be addressed. Just make it cover less distance, or make it slower, or something of the sort. Just riskier and less reliable.
