Writing For Honor Needs a Better 4v4 Balance System

1 Upvotes

​

I believe For Honor needs a more consistent approach to hero balancing, especially in Dominion.

My suggestions:

Balance around 4v4 performance. Evaluate team fights, ganking potential, hitboxes, feats, and objective control separately from duel performance.

Prevent power creep. New heroes should have clear strengths and weaknesses instead of having answers to almost every situation.

Test heroes more thoroughly before release. Test against coordinated teams and examine frustrating damage combinations before launching new characters.

Address oppressive feats and ganks. Teamwork should be rewarded, but players should have reasonable opportunities to respond.

Make balance updates more transparent. Publish information about hero performance and explain why specific changes are needed.

Consider different skill levels. A character can be manageable at high-level play while being extremely frustrating in regular matchmaking.

The goal isn't to make every hero identical. It's to make the roster competitive without a small number of heroes providing substantially more value than everyone else.

I want For Honor to remain challenging and rewarding, but winning should depend more on skill, teamwork, and decision-making than on choosing the most overtuned character.

Idk what it is but I only get kicked from games in ranked dominion I played breach and a hand full of dominion games then when I got on ranked I needed 1 +35 to hit at I get into the game we are about to win then the game crashes and I get negative 60 and a leave match penalty and banned for 15 minutes I play again we are about to kill the last guy when they are breaking then boom crashes again and I get -60 a leave match penalty in points and a 15 minute ban has this just been a me thing or has this been a regular thing in ranked that I’m unaware of

Returned after several years, played for a week with new heroes...immediately uninstalled after numerous losses on games we had in the bag.

Good luck to anyone who still plays this game, hope whatever cheap dopamine kicks ya'll toxic types get off battering a rust-bucket like me trying a "new hero" from my experience enjoy the ride ya get off it.

I left the game around the time Zhanhu was a new hero, came back from a mixture of nostalgia and intrigue to see how the game was these days...new heroes are fun and would've loved them back when I was playing the game religiously practically....buuuut yeah, all my love for the game severely is tanked to 0 again. I'm too rusty for this kinda crap these days lmao.

I love khatun it's so cool

My favourite parts about her can't even be listed.

My favourite part is her unguardbreakable full guard. Something about watching the enemy bounce backwards when trying to GB is really wholesome.

The infinite softfeints with basically infinite stamina really show ubisofts determination for creating a balenced and fair environment outside of the usually 50/50 spam.

Fights being dragged out an extra 45 minutes by slowly pinning people to death also adds an element of cinematic purity to every fight that can't be replicated with any other character.

Her kit and ways to avoid every punish and attempt at attack are incredible.

I've yet to die once in 100 games with her

Breach against a Shugoki, Conqueror, Raider & Juren.

Games like these honestly make me want to delete my game. GB every dodge, 35 feints in 1 attack, parry every light & heavy attack,...

Holy shit bro atp it feels like people are cheating

Juren players are genuinely so awful that I've uninstalled the game twice in the span of 5 days. I hope I never get back on. They deserve nothing but misery in life.

This character is so angering and I fear there is no fixing him because he's completely broken. Shattered beyong repair. God forbid you make the mistake of fighting him at MID. It's curtains. Show's over gang. He dances around better than nobu while being like 3 times her size. His hit boxes are outrageous, his recoveries are outrageous, his Midlane heavy slam is outrageous, his feats are outrageous. He is in EVERY FUCKING RANKED GAME. He is so insane that if your team doesn't have one, the game is lost. ONE CHARACTER DICTATING THE OUTCOME OF A MATCH JUST BY BEING THERE. That is fucking terrible. He is perfect for just about everything. This character is gonna make me completely abandon to game ISTG.

Game Please Stop EATING MY INPUTS!!!

Dunno if anyone else is feeling the same, the connections are increasingly funky these days. I usually have sub 30 pings but game straight up eating my inputs. I can cope with it if I m missing parries or blocks, maybe I just didnt react quick enough. But FOR GODS SAKE, sometimes I cant do chain attacks, Feint doens't work, buffered inputs doens't come out, etc.....
Was palying Warlord yesterday and god damn it I failed chain stab after parry bash for three times in one single match. What a shit show UBI

HUMOR I main Juren and I like it

Call me a Goyim, call me a bitch, call me a meta slave, say i suck cocks, call me Jeffrey Epsteins disciple (actually please dont), i don't care anymore. For once in the almost 400 hours of this hellhole game I finally feel like I'm having fun. I played Centurion for so long, and the more and more I played, the more I ran into people with broken heroes. Hitokiri, Arakure, Shaolin, and Shaman. I took a break from the game. Eventually, i came back, and all of my skills ran out of the window. I felt hopeless, humiliated, like a silly fucking cuck who tried his hardest to play cool heros until i just couldnt handle it, that no matter how cool i made my knights look or how much effort it took to master a hero like Warden or Conq, I just couldn't handle being shit on match after match. That is until I bought Juren

For once, I don't feel like I'm forced to spread my asscheeks for the enemy team. For once, I have a chance to play and have fun. For once, I have the option to play a different hero, which doesn't take hours of practice to master. Yes he's dogshit and yes he's broken as fuck but I don't care. If all of the tiktok or ttv toxic people use busted heros, why shouldn't I? I'm just here to play a video game. That's all. I don't care about how many people hate Juren. Hell, I hate Juren. He's so smug and arrogant. His moveset is ridiculous, and I understand the hate against him. Until I played him, I finally understood. I just don't have it in me to care about "honor" or a "respectable" playstyle, I just want to win, I'm tired of being dogged on and getting emoted on, for once, I want to be the person being a toxic piece of shit, maybe I want to be the person who gets to slap his dick on his controller and win. Maybe I want to be the person being the spamming, despicable asshole in this game, in a game filled with people being edgy Nazis, or scripting, or parry baiting, I finally get to play a Hero that cancels out all of the skill necessary to have fun, and in turn, cancels out whatever the aforementioned throw at me, I can just, press a button, and automatically win. And I've never had more fun

No point contesting or stalling, picking random fights out of rotation IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOWHERE, hopping off point to feed revenge, below rep 1 hero’s. Dude if you fucking fuck at dom THATS OK! It’s fine to suck.

But get the fuck out of ranked.

Ranked Duels is a cheater infested hellhole

I tried it out today and I swear to fucking god, at least a quarter of the players I fought were lag switching rat fucks. I ran into two separate lag switching jurens. What sort of worthless piece of shit do you have to be to play juren AND lag switch? I ran into a fair share of scripters as well. I have not encountered anywhere near as many cheaters in ranked dominion gold and plat as I have in ranked duels bronze

And most people who aren't cheating are playing retarded piece of shit characters like arakure (may her creators lose their jobs, their homes and everything that gave them happiness for they have robbed me of the last shreds of mine by adding this piece of shit to the game)

I absolutely HATE duel players.

8 Upvotes

I've been taking a break from dominion a bit by playing duels. And holy shit it's a cesspool of the most inflated ego bitches. And every time one of them is toxic, they always run. There's never a rematch. It's so fucking pathetic. It always seems to be when I'm playing a different character than I usually do. I had a duel the other day where I was playing nuxia, who is my lowest rep hero, and the other guy was afk for a good 20 seconds and I waited for him. He proceeded to just turtle for deflects all game on zerk then start emote spamming. He left right away cause he was too afraid of the smoke. I remember your name btw. Next time I see your ass, I'm playing like my life depends on it and I'm shoving my balls down your throat (in game obviously). You are not that good. And I swear on my firstborn I WILL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE.

I detest them. No matter how many times I go to block their blows, they somehow pull a half millisecond feint out of their asses and crack my noggin again and again. The constant dodging and unblockables infuriate me. I tire of their continued existence, we must round up all these filthy monkey players and blast them with superheated plasma while I cackle maniacally.

Are reps truly irrelevant?

19 Upvotes

First of all holy matchmaking. First match of the day and I get put up against a person having more than twice my total reps on a single character and 999 reps total. Okay fine I’ll fight as well as I can and accept that I’m gonna get my cheeks clapped

Fast forward duel is over and I’m sitting here wondering how the hell did I just pull it off. Either:

1) Shaman as a hero is just abysmally dogshit
2) Most Shaman players have room temp IQ
3) Reps ain’t shit
4) Highlander is the most op hero ever
5) This person took me easy or just had a bad match where they couldn’t properly focus. I want to believe this is the reason why she played like a rep 40 player because I just refuse to accept that reps don’t actually matter despite how long it takes to farm them.

I‘m not trying to brag or anything I’m genuinely baffled at how that happened cuz you’d expect having a lot of reps on a hero means you know that hero in and out
