What’re your hot takes about For Honor?

I feel Virtuosa hate has always been abit ridiculous, she is strong ESPECIALLY in the Right Hands but the average player is fairly easy to destroy as they rely on her stance way too much.

She’s annoying if you want to play with your brain turned off but honestly consider other Heroes on Release date like Centurion, Hitokiri, Gryphon and Black Prior who were also extremely hated.

Centurion could stun lock you, had high damage so would turtle for parries and inflicted massive stamina damage.

Hitokiri was the progenitor for the “Heavy on Red” playstyle that we all know today. Hito could spam heavies with kicks and sweeps for variety but also hyper armour for trades. Simple playstyle that dominated early For Honor.

Gryphon was hated a lot due to the “Monkey Brain” Playstyle the character promotes, highly oppressive moveset with high damage but also had annoying feats and was super safe and simple to master.

Black Prior created the bash meta, forward bash at the time was unpublishable and many Priors would turtle due to the flip mechanic what did high damage at the time.

Virtuosa I feel was very akin to Hitokiri but not as braindead.

I love my conq but for some reasons it’s buns “ heavy, hitter”

I want hit to hit hard. I want to 1v2 and win . Not hold full block until I get revenge.

So my good ppl let’s make my boy great again.

Best hero skin currently IMO

first one and last two are of my squire oc (posted here a while ago), second one is u/Aizen_Aiz 's shaman, third one is u/Eros-of-Grecia 's gladiator! I would like to thank them for letting me draw their characters :^) also go show Aize's drawing of my squire girl some love

It’s still cool though I think!

So I have played For Honor on and off for a little while now, mostly with my boyfriend who introduced me and he had over 2k hours so the matchmaking has been...not that fair. But understandable since we are on such different skill levels!

But I must say, even when I play by myself it's almost impossible to learn the game. 8/10 times I meet a toxic smurf and it's sooo boring. Like to they think I honestly will get upset when someone who's clearly better than me wins and then "emotes" on me? Lol

I also don't understand if im blind or if it's bad game design, but how am I supposed to learn all the characters if it doesn't say what character killed me? Only the name of the other uses pops up, I'm not a huge overwatch fan but at least they tell you what character and user who killed you, so I can look up the character and learn they abilities/how to counter them.

I just played a dominion match where everyone but one was a beginner, I had the most kills on my team ( I had 4...)

While the person with second most on the opposite team had like 2 or 3, the one with most kills had 10+ kills and no deaths, he obviously wasn't a beginner.

I don't know, I want to like this game but it's so difficult to learn with all the smurfs and bad matchmaking, I had a match the other day where I played solo ( I'm playing Black Prior/Nobushi ) and barley have any reps, at least under 10 and I met someone with 400+ reps 😭 At least they weren't toxic about it, some people can be kind at least.

But I have to admit that I kinda like that the game is so unforgiving, but damn it's hard to learn!

not sure if bug, you used to be able to preview poses on gryphon legendary hero skin. you still able to preview with other hero skins but legendary skin specifically cant as of now (unless im wrong).

it’s a cool skin but that’s 3K away from how much 6 months of champion status costs. With 42k could buy 2 characters and an execution and still have 5K left over. This is insane. 25K for a skin was already insane. Why are skins costing more than actual characters??? where is the logic in that? and why are we just letting them do this to us Over and over again with more than just skins??

Some of my overlays didn’t render properly, so it isn’t my best work

Who are the best candidates for this task?

As the title says, I’ve noticed over the past few updates that my performance has tanked significantly. I used to be able to run this game at max settings every map at a completely stable 180fps.
Recently, it had become that specifically at zone A on Overwatch, only while locked on, that my fps would drop into the 140s-150s.
Now, with the update that fixed crashing on amd hardware, I am getting drops into the 100s-120s, on every map, but still only while locked on to an enemy.

Specs
GPU: Rx 9070
CPU: R7 5800x
RAM: 32gb ddr4
Drivers: 26.10.1

Does anyone know what’s going on?
It literally ONLY happens while locked on, which is what’s confusing me.

So I was looking at the new legendary skin bundle (The Nightstalker and Liana) and I noticed that they changed the terminology for the effects and executions, they are no longer for every hero and onward, seemingly capped to this season and below.

Even though the other two hero skin packs (Oni and Assassin’s Creed) that feature effects and executions were promised for all hero’s onward. I just think it’s strange when they were able to go onward before.

That's right 💀 it's about time to start this beef 💀 go go Vampires 💀✌️

This was the first rework he got and imo there were a lot of good ideas in it, such as in chain chargeable heavy and the in chain mixup. Now his main in chain is just, orange heavy to gb or orange bash to gb.

I know I said Medjay wrong very sorry and I was also deciding on maybe Tiandi as well
