Hey OrioN,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I agree with removing reflex guard, but each hero having the same pool can be bad for certain heroes that need high health like trade focused heroes.

i would rather add reflex guard on all heroes and increase lights by 100ms

You do realise that gear doesnt impact gameplay as heavily anymore? You will still do the same damage and have the same health if you are rep 1 or rep 70.

I agree, blocking was always to easy in this game. Nerfing blocking will also make an aggressive and fun playstyle easier for heroes not having (nor relying) on neutral bashes. But that big of a change won't happen; it's to late, the game is to old. So removing reflex guard is a fair alternative.

Btw different health pools are not fair in a fighting game as well.

Other fighting games differentiate characters in speed, damage, range and health to encourage the use of new playstyles and strategies.
Smash Brothers has increased weight on larger/slower characters so they don't get launched as far as others when at the same damage. And some also have additional defensive properties (superarmor for trading, reflecting projectiles and sometimes even attacks (King K. Rool)).

Brawlhalla has a similar concept called defense, and it varies throughout character speed and signature move speed.

For Honor's heroes have high health pools for one (or more) of the following reasons:
-Slow, limited offense (Shugoki, Raider, Lawbringer, Warlord, Jiang Jun)
-Trading (Any character with hyperarmor)
-Mixup interruption prevention (Centurion charged jab, Warmonger charged slash, almost anything Shugoki does, Berzerker feint mixups)
-Large in stature (Raider, almost every heavy, Highlander)
-Harder to dodge things sometimes due to how hitboxes and camera angles work. Ever play Shugoki and feel like it's harder to see enemy bashes compared to playing a small character like Shaman?)
-Low range (Shugoki, Lawbringer, Berzerker, Jormungandr, Hitokiri)

Making every character similar in health values would change For Honor to a completely different game, where balance only lies in damage values, framedata, combo potential, and mixup potential.

That could work since some heavy heroes are way faster than assassins

[Ash]

Ah yes. Imagine Shaman with LB HP bar.

Disregarding perks and other modifiers, who exactly is faster than who?

[Antik]

I agree that reflex guard should go. In terms of health i think the lowest possible should be 130 so the gap between low and high health character isn't monumental.

[ONISAIBOT]

I don't care about health, I just want my 50 damage deflect back.

[765]

Yes, big guys in full plate should die as easily as some scrawny guy in a shirt.
Sure...
