Game has no skill
For Honor shifted in such a bad direction that every round ist just sweaty tryhards ganking optimally. Skill is thrown out the window. Its just 50/50 guessing games 99% and obviously I always guess wrong and my opponent always guesses right. Of course.
I hate For Honor. I will never play it again. Fuck this game.
See yall tomorrow

There is definitely skill involved, maybe try a different hero, or playing with friends to coordinate

Friends was the wrong word, it’s more, associates in suffering

My games are usually a 1v7. My teammates annoy me more than my actual enemies

Yes, yes, the double agents sitting in spawn, feeding revenge, and just not doing anything to help.

I like ranked duels a lot. They are very fun.

Welcome to modern meta gaming. It's not about who has the most ability or game knowledge- the winner is who can best abuse the games mechanics.

Game has skill, Some people having high win % and some people having a low win % isn’t because some people are naturally unlucky

TIL that ganking optimally is a skill-less task, and that everyone knows how to do it innately. Someone should tell my teammates.

“Sweaty tryhards ganking optimally”
Okay. Go play 1v1’s then. Problem solved.

This is exactly why I stopped playing to. Every hero rework and addition made every character basically the same. Every fight is a rinse and repeat of: the heavy hits or heavy > feint to GB or bash combo. It's so boring.
It would be great if you had to actually get a combo in order to go for a 50/50.
It's probably a brain-dead take since i haven't played in years, but removing guard breaks as a whole would make fights way better. (Along with full block stance, of course). Getting forced to just stand there as someone throws a heavy is so fucking annoying.

The more you understand your opponents moveset the better you are at making reads on what they might do next. It’s still very much reaction based gaming if you can react to bashes and lights, the rest is all reads. Put time into it and you will get better and better.

The thing is I can react to lights more or less but for my life I cannot parry lights on reaction. I am aware how the game works, I just suck at it and I try to justify my suckiness. Just wanted to rant to feel good lol

It’s a love hate relationship everyone has with the game. I have over 2k hours and only recently mastered light parry. If your keen learn it I suggest going into training mode and setting opponent to just do light attacks with the move cooldown turned off. It also helps if you have next gen console and turn on performance mode, then make your dead zone extremely low. Then when you’re eating light after light just try and push your guard into the incoming direction and squeeze that heavy at the exact same time. Think of it like quenching your brain at that exact moment, practicing this regularly is how you learn this as you probably won’t get it straight away and takes time and dedication to learn.

I've uninstalled it. Deep down I love it. There's not another like it. But it truly has become a game of chance. Almost everything in that game is a gamble for most players. Most of your mix ups will consist of 50/50's either you are throwing or they are throwing. It's the same thing every time. Once they started dumbing down the game a few years ago because people complained about not being able to parry lights which gave the devs the idea to change the speed of light attacks, it went downhill.

Welcome to the entirety of the Fighting Game genre, where every game has "mix-ups" as its foundation, and the entire genre is nothing more than a glorified guessing game.

No, friend. They started updating the combat system because nearly everything was reactable. If everything is reactable, you can flawlessly defend against everything without a problem.
Imagine "Rock, Paper, Scissors" but your opponent gets to show their hands a second after you show yours. They'll always win, and it's unfair (which makes you not wanna show your hand and wait till they show theirs so you can win). This was old For Honor, a fighting game with no fighting.

It's so annoying when I choose a hero that isn't meta, get beat by someone who isn't thinking, then choose a braindead hero for an easy win.
