    Hyper armour. Thoughts?

    Personally to balance this game in anyway. I believe Hyper armour needs to be taken out all together.

    My reason are because have you ever been in a match where 4 kensei just light spam you? And yet you can't get a hit in due to the superior block and Hyper armour

    Some with shugoki. Have you ever played a Dom match with 3 of these guys on the enemy team and all they do is light spam you with demon embrace along with the other 2 using heavies?

    I mean this is a game I get that point but realistically if I was to get hit in real life specially with a sharp object. I would definitely feel it.. and flinch... Personally I believe the only balance to this game we need is to get rid of hyper.

    Same with Highlanders. Every few lights every few heavys maybe it's because I play assassin classes but still even berserker hyper is so annoying.

    The amount of games I have played and people have left because everyone is using a character that has hyper armour to avoid spamming. But yet they do it themselves. And spam there lights and hypers.

    I've played constantly matches for over 3 years now and always without fail. I always get smashed by people with hyper.. I mean I understand heavy classes should have some form of armour which is fair but given the hp they have personally they don't need it..

    Even using unblockables hyper still get the advantage they don't flinch. I can deflect light spams like a boss but yet hyper armour always wins against that. Personally that's my view for the balance this game needs hyper armour needs to be removed all together that alone might stop light spammers as everyone is playing either

    Kensei- light spammers = hyper
    Shugoki. Lights and heavys = hyper.
    Highlander- lights with heavys every 2 chain = hyper
    JJ has hyper but everyone able to block his unblockable. Useless as you have to feint everytime
    Berserkers every chain = hyper but has no armour.
    Raider has hyper every 3 chain. Very slow class.

    All am saying is hyper armour I believe has caused the light spams take away hyper and it may stop? As everyone is playing all the classes that have hyper armour that can light spam or spam hyper.. I've seen many players get f****** and leave match because of hyper which then leaves you with bots that just stand about doing nothing.. personally level 2 bots are garbage change them to level 3 also as that what I train against in training.

    What are you thoughts on this am I correct or not. I feel alot would disagree with this post because everyone plays a character that has hyper because they are sick of the spam. But I think people would use there heads more if it was just taken out completely

    I don't think you're correct here. Aside from shugokis lite which is being removed, hyper armor is on the slower attacks. If it wasn't for hyper armor any character with a slow heavy attack would just get poked out of it by a lite attack and it would make those heavy attacks effectively useless.

    What about slightly increasing the heavies ? Speed for that very reason? But then the hyper heavies might be slow but assassin classes also have only a certain amount of time to parry as there is like a 4-5 second on the guard system also.

    Personally I don't think hyperarmor is really that big of an issue, a lot of the counter play to it is knowing when your opponent is going to have it and not trying to trade with it.

    Nah I see your point like 1v1 I have no problem with hyper armour it's more like when people play as over powered classes. Ubi say they aren't but like kensei and shugoki are quite over powered. And fighting 3 or even 2 Vs 1 can be quite difficult.. I personally feel the pressure alot when this happens

    That's not really a hyper armor problem, that's a duplicate character problem and I'm an advocate for single pick.
