First for PK mains

>Not Rep 3 Edition
I'm disappointed in you user-kun.

DELET THIS

...

So this game is dead yeah? I've been waiting for 5 minutes or so and can't even find a 1v1

>Valkyrie throws me off a bridge
>trys a plunging attack to finish me off
>misses and dies from the fall

Why are PK mains except for me this autistic?

So this is more or less optimal, right?

I'm not sure the two Block Damage related stats are worth bothering with, based on that one gear stats effectiveness video showing the differences to be like 1 damage.

Honestly, I've just started playing versus AI with matchmaking off. It's the only way I can actually play the game without ragequitting due to chronic leavers or bad connections.

Anyone else in the same situation as me?

10th for warden mains think this isn't overpowered

$24.95

Someone talk me out of it.

Go for it. It will do wonders for your self esteem, you'll blame the shirt for no one talking to you instead of your horrible personality/appearance

Are we talking about the same map? I don't know of any permadeath ledges on Overwatch.

That was not done on reaction. Judging by the Warden's low health, the PK had been countering bashes like this for some time and established a predictable pattern.

Literally every hazard around C. Spikes on the walls and pits.

>I don't know of any permadeath ledges on Overwatch.

Did you forget why Point C is such a clusterfuck?

Oh, duh. I had the points flipped. Yeah, C is garbage, but so is Overwatch.

So tried the game after patch, played 12 games in a row with zero drops from anyone, did ubi actually find a solution ?

>Final round of elimination
>Enemy team has two fucking PKs
>We're all fighting in the same area
>I die, but right now it's 3v1, enemy is a PK, we can definitely pull this around
>Spectating the Valk on my team
>She's just standing back watching the other two fight the PK
>PK kills one, and then ledges the other
>About the fucking scream at the Valk for being an honor fag, and not reviving my while just watching the fight
>It's a fucking bot
WHY ARE THE BOTS ON MY TEAM ALWAYS FUCKING BRAINDEAD?

>except for me

Ditto. I had a few desyncs in one specific match, but no one dropped and we finished it just fine.

Not sure if coincidence. I'm going to remain pessimistic.

No, I still had a couple games that went nuts after someone left. I can't say whether it is better than before though.

>Orders are ALL skirmish, dominion and AI

Point C is the best objective point in Overwatch. It's the only map where I killed 3 enemies with very high gear stats (Level 108) via the ledge.

I just enjoy it because people forget point A exists a lot of the time. I get to camp there all comfy-like and observe the chaos from safety, soaking up that sweet Renown until I can start calling Catapult strikes on C from above.

Even AI flips out when PK pops that revenge.

I got killed in Point C by a catapult once, was that you?

...

Found this after leveling up, what does the star mean?

It's a unique weapon piece. Pretty much nothing.

Unique design I think.

This thread is not nearly as active as I'd expect one to me. I thought For Honor was AAA?

Still looking for challengers, by the way. Uplay pk_is_skill

Beat me and I'll stop playing PK forever. :^)

Any tips on avoiding traps? Always gets me every time.

Make sure there's a vagina?

Look for suspicious bulges. They'll say it's puffy vulva but they're usually of slighter builds anyway, so you can easily disprove that.

ded game, shit devs, no porn

>Tie breaker round in a duel
>We're both low health, and he's one hit from dead
>He back dashes to try to regen his health
>RESYNCHING CONNECTION
>Game freezes and loads
>When we're finally back in he's mid fucking heavy hit and kills me
>Quit instantly because that's complete bullshit
>He messages me talking shit
I don't care if he intentionally fucked with his connection or if it was on ubisofts side, that's complete bullshit and I'm not staying through it

>Attacks don't go through your block
There is a lag that happens with all top-attacks, even if you're holding your guard at top and not change it at all - attack still goes through.

I had some shit like this happening to me earlier today. I was playing shugoki and did my running tackle. I locked on and started trying to dash towards the guy I just knocked over. For some reason I was dashing away, over and over. I unlock and lock on and the problem fixed itself but I was really confused. I even had a back breaker just head the opposite direction from my opponent. They mentioned it in chat right after I did it because they were as confused as I was.

Who's still playing? And what keeps you going?

...

The game is on the cusp of just being gone. Your class is one of the primary reasons.

Oh that's completely fine, just wait out a year or two until it gets patched up properly, they'll put it on 50% sale and a wave of new players will revive it.

Salt. As long as people will hate me for playing PK, I'm motivated.

Anyone else just get the pre-order outfits out of nowhere? is this what they meant by outfits? I got it for free but it might be a gold edition thing.

>Who's still playing? And what keeps you going?

The salt. That feeling when someone goes nuts in chat and I reply with :^) and they disconnect.

Nah you just have shit internet

ayyyyyyyyyyyyy my boy

> primary reasons
Wrong. Connection Errors were the main reasons.
It's fun

that was a read and couldve been punished for it. Nothing to see here move along

I like the concept of the game and really want it to do well. I'm just sad there's gear balance and defense meta issues.

The salt is also amusing.

I play Shugoki and Kensei btw

All memeing aside, traps in this game are overpowered as shit
>Viking character places a bear trap next to a ledge and REFUSES to move away from it
You're basically at a standstill unless you willingly walk onto the trap.

L A W G E N D A R Y

>one of the
Connection errors and class imbalance, Warlord and Peacekeeper being the two standout broken as shit classes.

Yes, this is optimal. The block damage is useless because nobody is gonna throw out random heavy attacks without getting parried , and even them the damage is minimal

this happened to me as well against a nobushi ai I wonder if its specific to her.

Also if you ran away she would just chase you around like that pretty funny

>Goes the long way around

Traps are frustrating but every class gets some kind of feat that is complete bullshit. Its just on you to use it right.

>tripfagging

kill yourself

As usual, I wish contract orders refreshed every 24 hours instead of 48 so we could sift through this shit faster

So i got the game 2 days ago
Tried kensei, started getting a bit better but i play against people so much more experienced than I that i hardly have a chance to learn.
I also tried warlord because i like sword and board and felt much more at ease playing him rather than kensei, does this mean i should main him?

>Can't tell between a trip and a name

I hope a PK bleeds you out.

>Go the long way around
Are you implying that they're not just gonna walk to the other side of the trap? It's literally a game of ring around the rosie when someone is babysitting their trap. When it comes down to it you basically have to just give in and step on the trap and tech the GB that's coming

Feats definitely need a nerf across the board, it's fucking nonsense.
>Vanguards and hybrids can heal 4 times in a row
>Bleed+Fear itself bleeds someone try in 3-5 light hits
>Warlord can self revive
The list goes on

PERI!

Isn't every design unique? I think the star means literally nothing

no it means warlord is a much better character. He is considered the best character in the game and kensei is one of the worst

I know that deflecting gets me a GB into free side heavy, and a heavy parry can net me a GB if they're not pushed too far away from me, but what does a light parry get me and what does it look like as a zerk?

kek

Question to other PKs here. Why the fuck does none of you ever use Heavy cancel into guardbreak? It almost always fucking lands thanks to how underused technique it is.

If you like how warlord plays then play warlord. Expect to lose a lot. Like don't expect to feel like you are doing decent until you play enough to hit Rep 2. Then expect to be trash again if you start playing a new character. Just don't be afraid to lose and try to learn something every game you play. Even if it just something little.

Oh okay i guess, maybe im not as horrible as i thought i was then, ill keep practicing.
I really liked kensei's aesthetic's though and wanted to get gud at him

if you like 4s than hes good but hes only a noob killer either than that.

>light parry

Gets you a top heavy unless it's a Conq, I think.

play who you like man, don't play them because they're good, play them because you're having fun.
t. rep 5 kensei

I think it's because all the light spam just works so why bother mixing in anything else. I had a PK on me earlier today that felt like a fucking monster compared to the usual trash. He kept doing his LLH chain but would feint the heavy into another light and almost always catch me doing something stupid. My only chance as Shugoki was a light parry into something. I ended 2 round of a duel with light parry GB into wallslam into oneshot back breaker. Guy left after the second one :^)

>Enemy bot carried their team in elimination
Serious question, what the fuck determines if a bot is going to be a input reading god or a brainless piece of shit? I've lost so many games because the bots on my team can do fucking nothing, and sometimes lose games because the enemy team has a bot that reads my inputs, techs every GB including ones after parrys, and they parry attacks regularly.
So what the fuck determines if they're gonna be good or trash? It should be the same across the board

>Play Dominion for the first time since closed beta
>It's actually kind of fun
I do not remember this being fun

Just wait until the bot attacks and parry it. All level 3 bots are shit because they don't turtle.

if ur talkin about kara throw people have been doing that since release

I assumed maybe they have lower drop rates but since all those designs have been gaudy gold shit they just go straight into salvage.

>want to practise parries
>select lb since one of slowest guard changers.
>opponent is a miseru faggot.

If you're in a pvp mode then I hear the GS of the player it's replacing is the determiner with higher GS=harder bot. Outside of that though I don't know

any other xbros get an update?

Is it possible to parry the heavy during a shield bash mixup?

I try to doge away but its really finicky sometimes.

Law

light spam don't work against people with brains who actually wait and block/reflect all your attacks. NOT attacking is how you beat every PK unless they also have brains and bait you out with faints/heavy cancel into gb etc.

Always keep your guard idle on the left so you can't get surprised with a zone attack, too.

PK is actually pretty fucking easy to beat as long as you're not a retard ganking her and giving her free revenge = free kills

no idea what kara throw means, I'm talking about the cancel of heavy into gb that is exclusive to Peacekeeper. I've played against tons of other PKs and not a single time did any of them use it against me.

What are moments that made you feel like pic related?

What's the point? I already 3-0 people with light spam.

The issue with that is that some bots literally cheat and tech the GB after a parry.
But my main concern is why the enemy team ALWAYS has bots that can fend for themselves until help arrives, but my team has bots that can't tech GBs and never parry.
It's got to be more than just that, because some games start with bots being hard.

Try to 3-0 me with that silly technique of yours and say it again

>Duel a fellow LB.
>Accidentally ledge him.
>Entire round 2-3 are him getting 100% GB because I cannot change region restriction myself.

What is the fucking point of that "Settings" button honestly?. I can't see attacks coming, They teleport around, and I basically have to predict GB's.

Blocking lights gets you nowhere, because you can't follow up with any damage of your own. Reflecting is just as risky as parrying, and is not an option for Berzerker because the second PK light will hit the 'zerk before the automatic GB can hit.

Zone hits peoples right. Keeping it left will get you killed.

A good PK is not easy to beat. If you are, then you are not a good PK.

Yeah, no idea what it's for though

PK's just have to occasionally purposefully miss the first light to completely shut down parry attempts.

Is my console rigged then? Zones always come from the left for me, 100% sure.

You can block lights forever and she'll run low on stamina if she spams it. If not, she'll start trying other things if she can't hit you with lights only. It's really not hard at all to make PK not spam light.

Yeah my experience against PKs with Shugoki does not make me think she is easy to beat. I can't do much of anything except get a parry and when I do I really need a ledge or a wall near me so I can get the back breaker and get some health back to even the score. Shugoki can hardly trade even with armor because of the PK attacks that she can combo into bleed. I've been starting to no even bother changing my guard direction and just letting myself get hit until they attack where I am blocking and I just parry them for the kill or to get my health back and start the whole process over again. It's frustrating but with how much faster she is I don't have a lot of options if they are any good.

>low revenge time
No.

Not surprised there. Shugoki and Lawbringer might as well kill themselves on spot if they're matched versus PK.

You're retarded, and apparently have never fought a PK and undersood which of her attacks was her Zone. Immediately sheds doubt on your ability to give advice fighting PKs.

Blocking lights forever gets you nothing. She'll just stop attacking and back off when her stamina gets low, and you won't be able to punish because of the strength of defense in this game. Then she'll hop back in. Rinse repeat.

Your argument to beat PK is just to block hits. That's not how this game works: blocking doesn't somehow kill your enemy.

Tfw everyone from vg is bad

Because youre shit enough that it was a level 1 bot

I just resign myself to getting hit until I get that crucial parry and turn it around. Fat man is so slow but I love him :-\
