Buff Kor

[Gluggy]

First of, if you think Kor is op I will say one thing that have never, I repeat never, said on these forums. Get good. Kor is the type of legend that is so easy to counter that he becomes useless in the high ranks. First two days of him being out I could go okay with him, a little lower than my average. But now that everyone knows his sigs and how gauntlets work, all you have to do is space and dodge out of strings. It's hard to land hits with the gauntlets and even if you do they can just escape the string easy. Same thing kinda goes for his hammer. His hammer imo is just too slow to be of any use to being with. His sigs pack a punch (no pun intended) but they can all be dodged easily, easily punished and therefore they become useless in high ranked play. His stats are actually decent but for him to be balanced and actually usable in high ranked play, his dex needs a buff so he can string together more true combos. You could argue that he's just new so not everybody knows how to use him but so far I have yet to find one person who knows the key to him. So yeah, all he needs is a dex buff and maybe lower his sig’s recovery time and I think he could be a real contender. One last thing I want to add is that a lot of players think Kor is just op is lower ranks and not in high. I agree slightly, like I said his counter is simple and a key part for learning how to fight ANY legend in the game. He would just be a stepping stone (pun intended) for learning how to play the game.

Edit: He is great at countering parry players which is nice

Edit 2: He may not be as bad as I thought but I still think he could use a dex buff.

I could be wrong but I can't see any good parts to Kor. Prove me wrong.

I 100% agree. He needs a buff because by this point people should know how to use him. If they don't then that's just sad. I know from experience (Koji and Jhala) that a new legend is only difficult to fight because you don't yet know his meta. Now that more then 90% of people know what he brings to the table, we can get an accurate knowledge on how good he is, and in this instance he is under powered.

It is decent but the sigs are terrible.
- NSig doesn't hit very often, and isn't powerful when it does.
- SSig doesn't hit close range, and requires incredible spacing.
- DSig has some of the lowest priority, and a weak hit.
It only gets worse with his Gauntlet.

- Agreed on NSig, it doesn't even combo consistently from a stomp
- To be fair on SSig, the force is like nothing I've ever seen. Personally I'm happy with it
- DSig is just a weaker, harder to use Asuri sword SSig, yeah

I will say SSig is like Teros's sigs, but it is extremely difficult to land a hit rendering it useless in competitive play. Also as a punish, it may work, but theres no guarantee.

Not really... They're pretty good. They just take some learning. Sentinel isn't bad even with his SSig blindspot, because his DSig blindspot covers it. And in a similar way the NSig of kor covers part of his SSig blindspot, and his DSig covers the rest, and they're all very fast.

The NSig always combos from a stomp with good positioning, the SSig can if they're further, and the DSig can if they're right on you, and below orange.

Yea but Stomp into NSig works with all hammer legends. It doesn't make Kor special. Also a blind spot in all of his sigs is behind him.

One more thing that is key here is a lack of things that combo into the sigs. Yea there is Stomp, but that's really your only option with your sigs besides using them as a punish. Being able to combo into sigs in a variety of ways can contribute to a legend being OP or not. Hattori has DLight into NSig with sword, and SLight into NSig with both weapons (not really a true combo at late health)

But hammers mostly just have stomp combos... And I didn't say it made him special. All I said is that his hammer is decent. And honestly it's as good as any.

But since I have no experience with him, thats all I can say
