For Honor Review (H_959)
background i started in console 2018 marching fire expansion then i arrived to pc
short answer run away or play to get cancer
long answer
- new players: if u just started? give up ppl be breaking their keyboard and mouse and their controllers so u cant parry anything 50% of the game is read base because devs do whatever they want and 90% of ppl play S tier characters and spam if they dont know what they spam how will u?
future of for honor: the game is headed in a trash direction just adding more s tier heroes and moving more towards s tier adding more no skill moves and feats ur old feats do nothing while new feats sync with moveset and perks power creep is too real each heroe is hella stacked recoveries pins guarnteed damage unblockable bashes , wall bashes , hit stun , undodgeable , soft feints, full blocks , range that doesnt make sense or match weapons (all in afeera)
teamfight: teamfights are trash now u got Jiang Jun, medjay, kyoshin, Varangian Guard etc just full of pins/full guards/unblockables while not looking at you. no heavy charchter in middle of hyper armor unblockable spam? ur dead
revenge system (trash): the tick system that is racist set at trash values based on the devs who nerf and buff if they lose in ranked duels cause they trash,
- tags first of all sometimes it just does not work at all
-tags give revenge in the most stupid way 1.2x for parry / 1x for hit/block/deflect HOW CAN U COMBINE AND TREAT ALL AS SAME VALUE WHEN each of them is diff and defelcts even require skill, 0.25x for dodge/i frame sometimes u have to dodge or u will be hit it should be treated same as block or parry for example unblockable with bash u have to dodge but no trash game will reward u with more revenge if u parry then get bashed and get hit cause game is trash
- tags in teamfights if its a 2v2 there should be 0 revenge no matter what, but guess what game is trash if 1 of ur enemies has more tags than u and ur teammate because they are trash because they dont know how to teamfight in a 2V2 they start gaining revenge it even happens in 3v2 the 3 ppl can gain revenge because they are bad.
- tags are set to trash values some moves pin or are hard to read/know in a serious gank yet fade same as raw heavy cause game doesnt care if its unblockable or undodgable its the same as raw heavy in games eyes.
- tags in 100 to 0 ganks yes these exist and there are a lot if ganked perfectly u can die without being able to do anything defend urself or gain revenge not only that but most ppl forget there are many 90-80-70 ganks tthat are also confirmed u start as a 1 v1 suddenly its 2v1 with perfect gankers and they know what they doing ur like 75% hp ig ur dead
single pick: why do we not have single pick because game is trash i dont need to explain why we need this
feats: need a dire rework they can be the diff between a tier and s tier from c tier to a tier they change alot 3rd feat of afeera HAS FULL BLOCK activates super fast pins u and damages u with short cooldown WHY , sohei with his 1 shot mechanic and full healing and soul replenish feat got heavy parried once? ur dead
perks: just like feats u have bad perks? u could have been s tier for anti gank now ur only a tier stacking these perks with some charachters and feats can make u really hard to kill in ganks and teamfighs like pirate etc vengful barrier last stand etc
unstable mechanic: even stable machanics like guard break are diff some characters have fast gb some have slower gb even tho gb is a universal thing
exception trash: the game has too many exceptions dont make up rules or u will suffer, shugoki and conqueror cannot be guard broken on dodge bash while some can be same with dodge attacks. (btw there is no place not even wiki that has all these exceptions listed enjoy becoming a researcher)
another exception bullshit is the revenge gain u dodge fire flask? meteor? and got hit? guess what those level 4 feats u dodged? 0 revenge but that bow? yeah 50% revenge gain cause thats how the game work
unfair matchups: some charchters who are slow and power crept like kensei play really badly against some chars like afeera or conq u predicted dodge? and tried to punish? u will be punished for punishing boom recovery/full guard same with warden and conq u have to double dodge back to get a light in when ur enemy is brain dead and can do whatever they want u have to think 5 steps ahead for something as simple as a punish
s tier pooling: over 50% of chars are in s tier spam is real and u have to read a lot even if enemy is a noob esp if u play lower tier chars
level 3 bots: enemy bot (always spawns level 3) our bot never ever seen it at level 3 never not even once
trash matchmaking: some days u get 2 good teammates in 20 games (good day) otherwise ur enemy is read master near script like (sometimes even a real script) or even trash lag switches that make enemy attacks 50% faster teleporting delayed indicator losing half the animation, not to mention i started game pc ik im from console and know how to play but why is my enemy a streamer squad rep 1100 rep 1000 rep 700 rep 650 while our team entire rep combined is not 650 giving me perfect gank enemies like they are practicing for a tourney
trash glitches: teleporting mid attack on berserker switching mid attack
trash switching indicator when attacked from behind: sometimes flickers like crazy sometimes switches last second enjoy
in summary there is 0 aspect of this game that is good or perfect in every thing its full of trash
