For Honor is Incredibly Infuriating

[Derek Jeder]

The first round I played in this game was amazing, it was a back and forth 1v1 and it was a ton of fun, but everything after that just started to spiral out of control. From being killed while dodging or blocking in the direction of the attack, to being shoved off the map within 5 seconds of the round starting, this game becomes incredibly infuriating. First off, it's really annoying that the character actually lock onto friendly units and players when attacking. Nothin' like smashing your teammates face in, right? Second, the classes are about as balanced as the American Judicial System. The beserker is so fast, countering his attacks perfectly is irrelevant because it's impossible to get a good hit combo on them anyway, The Raider has a crazy fast unblockable attack coupled with crazy range, and to top it off, he deals massive amounts of damage no matter how he attacks. He also has an absurd attack speed from the get go. The Conqueror has an ability that gives him a huge shield health bonus, and heals him in the background. I went up against a Conqueror AI with 3 teammates, all of us hammering at him from different directions, and he came out alive with far more than half health. Every time we got his health low, he would simply activate his ability, gain back most of his health and get a shield, then we were helpless because he's actually immune to knockback and staggering when using that. As fast as the classes seem to be when going up against them, they're slow as snails when using them myself. The Orochi class, for example, has very slow attacks for an assassin. Getting executed while guarding in the correct direction is also extremely annoying, and so is getting hit from a direction regardless of whether you're guarding there or not. I have been very excited for this game since it was announced, and I've been signed up for the beta since they allowed us to, but I'm very disappointed at this stage of the game's development, and I don't imagine that the game will change all that much between now and when it's released next month. I will say that the graphics and cinematic cutscenes were phenomenal though. The graphics are so smooth and crisp, with incredible detail everywhere, and the cinematic scenes have so much detail put into every inch.

The real problem with the game right now is that they throw you in multiplayer after the most basic tutorial ever.its basicly lile buying killer instinct picking a character and going online right away.you will get your ass kicked without understanding what happened.

Everything you noted is pretty much working as intented ,you just do not know how to counter them because the more advanced turorials are hidden in the how to play menu.

The raider unblockable can be countered by a parry wich is a mechanic they show in the advanced tutorial.you can also dodge it on faster classes.

The conquerer can go into a turtle stance wich blocks all incoming attacks while consuming stamina for each hit taken,when he does so just grab his ass and everyone will be able to pound him.

As for the berserker he almost always follow a left right attack pattern because that how his long combo chain works and that is how he gain momentum so his 3rd attack will be unstopable by on of your own.(when he flash)

There many more mechanics in there like every orochi second hit will go trough a block or that you can cancel a heavy hit midway with a "o" on ps4 or "b" on xbox controller.Basic raider combo is like (heavy right attack -> cancel -> foward dash+light attack for a daze -> light left attack -> grab -> light right attack)

It is very suggested that you do the advanced tutorial and watch both basic and advanced tutorial for your specific class.Also playing custom games against a bot of every classes will greatly help with dealing with them.

You can also duel a brain dead bot in the how to play section to try out harder combos.

Wall of text sorray :/

All i have to say is, learn to counter each class as they have their strenghts they also have their weaknesses.
also your block has a timer, you can see it degrading if you hold your gaurd to a side so try to guard when the time is right.
some classes have smaller guard times than other i think.

Also watching basic and advanced video turorial of a class your having trouble fighting aigainst will help you understand what to do vs them.

Basicly you need to treat the game as if you were trying to learn tekken or any figther really.

Even with learning how to counter and parry and learning the combos of a character, it's hard to pull them off because the controls lag so much, and some enemies just spam quick attacks

[Redmacinton]

there is only one class that is spammer friendly i would say and that is the assassins for every faction its not easy too block if you a are raider or any kind of vanguard because you are slow as hell with each attack :I

[Maxagaze]

the raider has a crazy fast unstopabble attack?

Are you sure thats the raider you are talking about?

If you have a hard time dealing with the fast chains from assassins at first, try the Conqueror and enjoy seeing them panic afther the first attack youll block.

Thing with conqueror is every block he does(even a normal block) will stagger the enemy(almost as much as a full parry i think).So NO enemy will be able to chain multiple strike on you.All these newbie playing the assasins classes that only know how to spam, you will destroy! While slowly but surely getting better at blocking because you have a lot less to worry about.Also with conqueror instead of a parry you get a free heavy attack in if you use the usual parry method.

Hes not for everyone because his attacks are very limited but its worth a try to give the game a second chance ;)
