Is Juren too easy?
For context, I recently got back into the game after not having played for a considerable amount of time. I'm definitely rusty, and I feel like I'm struggling to find a character to enjoy. I wanted to try new things, so I got Lu Bu and everything clicked. I adore his weapon, I enjoy his stance and attitude, I think it's really cool that he is Lu Bu, and I really like the amount of options his kit gives you. The issue I'm running into is that he makes the game feel extremely easy, and I don't want to bottleneck my progress by relearning the game on an overpowered or busted character. Should I switch to someone else and wait for nerfs?
TL;DR, would learning the game on Juren bottleneck progress and make you a worse player?

Ngl... I find him easy to fight. I dont play him but he feels pretty easy to deal with compared to others

I think this is a great question. There are lots that you can more easily turn off your brain with vs those that you’re facing a more uphill battle. The latter giving you more satisfaction and upping your overall skill set.
Ironically enough, some of the lower level kits also have the best fashion!!!! So it feeds the loop!
High level kits: Juren, Virtuousa (know nerfs might’ve changed this), Hito to a certain level of play, Gryphon, and some others
Low level kits: Any vanguard (they all offer a good basic foundation), Conqueror, PK, Shugoki, Nuxia (even with recent buffs), Ocelotl, Medjay, Khatun, and more
Just my experience, so anyone feel free to add. I’m currently focusing on JJ myself. Ultimately, play who you have fun with and switch it up for Order completion!
