Year 5 Season 1 Testing Grounds: Hero Improvements Overview | Forums

Shugoki is far better now than before. If you are complaining about it, you likely relied on the armor on lights and the hug. All I have to say is teehee.

He is actually fun to use now that he requires some brains to play well instead of just armoring through everything.

lol I was about to put the same.
many shugo players were so acustomed to just light to interrupt everything and some heavies here and there that the new rework is suddenly "bad" no my friends now shugo requires brain.

lel no more forced deflects on my part against them. much funnier to beat them now. in fact before it was not funny at all even if the 90% lost againts my PK

His only viable mix-up is now ruined. Its not like Demon's Embrace is even useful anymore, it was dodge-able before, but now that it is its own move again without its instant kill perk, it is pointless. the only things Shugo had going for himself was his hyper armor but now that his lights are uninterruptable, countering spammers is virtually impossible. Don't even get me started about the charge. his only truly unique move is now useless because he cant even bump people out of the way. I easily got around with shugo before. UBISOFT PLEASE LISTEN: QUIT FOCUSING ON GANK GAME MODE LIKE DOMINION AND MAKE THE GAME ENJOYABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE ONE ON ONE FIGHTS LIKE ELIM BRAWL AND DUEL. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON DISGUSTINGLY OVERPOWERD CHARACTERS LIKE GRYPHON, CENTURION, HIGHLANDER, AND SHAO-LIN, NOT BALANCED AND ENJOYABLE CHARACTERS LIKE SHUGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highlander Overpowered??? Hahahaha

Part of his move kit is no longer usable, example when I use an offensive stance and get punished for trying to use my kick / caber mix.
I'll leave you the link, watch the video and read the comments you'll realise that Highlander is nowhere near as strong as you think.

Highlander needs huge adjustments and when I say adjustments I don't mean "Nerf Highlander" like most people think on Consol.
