Deflects are not enought to compensate assassins. Anyone that uses then knows that almost any offense is unblock or behind a bash now. Deflects were better back then that now.
Example, orochi has an unblock so cant deflect the finisher heavy cuz It will be top finisher most of the time. Zanhu has a bash now, every finisher hit is unblock.Hito Kick and heavy, swipe and heavy, charged umblock lol. Gryphon top light finisher preventing side dodge and maybe catch a lucky deflect, or just dodge attack, heavy after kick. Those didnt exist before.
What deflects do against a conqueror? Or warden? Bash hit, bash hit, bash hit. And if the warden continues the combo every side attack is unblock now hahaha.
The new hero is getting the Tozen Kick for sure, if not orochi in the rework. That bash and unblock for everyone direcction dont help deflects. And also even kensei can do a "deflect" and get a free GB (kensei can trash any assassin). Even conqueror has superior block or whatever the name is, that at the end is the same thing. You timing the Dodge and get free damage.shield bash first is just animation bf you get the dmg.
Assassins are trash and since they are not giving then more dmg and i mean really more dmg thant others at least give them the same health and the same guard. You guys want classes? I dont see anyone complainig about why shugo can get to the first zone in the match bf Pk. Whats the point on that? He is slow so he needs a sprint? So do we want him to be slow or not? At the end he just run the same as anyone. Whats the point of classes on that? Nuxia low health dodge attack light parry. Gryphon HA bashes, undogeable lights, better feats and better dodge attack than her. Really?
Gryphon can dodge Nuxia after the 2 hit avoiding the trap the heavy and the heavy feint to GB. Too safe still. Guessing Game where one option beats the rest most of the times.
If heavys get more health and dmg i get why hybrids gets speed to run from the fight after revenge lol. What a joke.
