So, my team and I have been playing since the early betas. And this topic has come up over the past few years. But I think we have reached a point where it needs to be implemented.
Draft, and restrictions to one hero selection either per side, or per match.
With the introduction of the Sun Da there is a glaring reality hitting most players in the face right now... one which we saw with the centurion, and again with the shinobi, and definitely with the shaman. Three and four Sun Da in a match often.
The introduction of the Sun Da shows us as a player base that Ubisoft is willing to give a hero an unbockable every other strike OR feinted strike.
My team and I played about nineteen matches tonight, and of those matches we found a new horrifying reality as a strategy. Players would select multiple Sun Da and then death ball. With a strike being unblockable every other strike, there is no way to properly defend against multiple Sun Da opponents unless you manage to parry every single strike against you, which is nearly impossible to do. standard locking, Does nothing, and even my Aramushas all black is useless to help.
If this is the type of hero abilities we are going to be seeing from here on, then we need restrictions in matches to help mitigate abuse of these types of mechanics.
I would like to ask the For Honor devs to be implement a draft phase, by which each team can see the other teams selections, person by person to make counter picks. And by which only one of each hero can be in a match. Or at most, on each side.
Not only will this help stop the abuse of hero mechanics, but will force players to master multiple heroes.
I hope this is taken into consideration. It was disappointing to see the abuse taking place in matches by selecting multiples of the new hero. And I cant help but wonder how it was not seen by the developers that this would be very big flaw in the design of the hero regarding player abuse.
Draft phase needs to be implemented, along with restrictions to one of a hero per match or per team.
