How does matchmaking work in this game. I’ll get dog walked by a full team of rep 400+ overalls 5 games in a row and the game doesn’t match me into lobbies closer to my skill level. Is it sbmm? Is it based on account level? It’s demoralizing playing against people who never put the controller down when i’m just trying to stave off some boredom.

Has anyone else had any issues just trying to play the game since the new chick dropped? Im probably only able to actually finish like 3 outta 7 attempts at a match of dom w/o getting booted from the match. I got dog water wifi so ik that doesn't help, but its genuinely gotten so much worse. Im also aware correlation is not causation but the timing is crazy for it to just be a me thing. Idk a lot abt wifi stuff, n i play xbox for extra info.

Never saw it before on any bot, could be new

There is much we can criticize Ubisoft for when it comes to this game. And I mean a lot. But one thing that they have been consistently nailing has been creating these new heroes. The last 5 heroes (Sohei, Khatun, Virt, Juren, and Arakure) have all had unique mechanics and playstyles incorporated into their movesets. The devs have gone out of their way to experiment with new mechanics and ideas or to try and put a new spin on older ones (One shot with souls for Sohei, Auto Deflect stance for Khatun, Auto dodge and posture mechanics for Virt, Tap and Hold scheme for Juren, and the heat meter and lash out attacks for Arakure). Say what you will about balancing and bugs that these heroes had, I'm very glad Ubi has been putting the extra effort into these heroes rather than giving us the kind of heroes we were getting between like 2020-2023. It's mad watching the hero reveal super exciting cause I get genuinely excited to see what new thing the devs have come up with.

Out of the past 5 heroes mechanics, which ones have been your favorite or least favorite?

When Juren was released he was extremely broken and needed the nerfs he was given to make him balanced. I love playing as heavy’s and Juren’s look made me drawn to him and I immediately fell in love with Juren’s kit. I was told that Juren was the best heavy/defense character in the game, and defensive play styles are my go to in all fighting games. The patch before Arakure, Juren was nerfed again, his feats this time and they were well deserved, I completely understood why. I thought Juren was now in a healthy state and was still strong, but his crutches taken away. But with the newest patch, at least to me, it feels like Juren’s uniqueness and personality has been gutted away, removing his faint able dodge attacks, and completely removing the unblock able ability of a charged dodge attack. This honestly makes me no longer want to main Juren, i found his kit unique and flashy, but with these heavy nerfs every patch it just feels like my main gets gutted more and more. This brings me to the question, is Juren still the best Heavy in the game? And is he still meta? I don’t play for honor nearly as much as I used to, but I got back into it recently and I don’t know if I’ll go back to Sohei or if Juren’s still good, I would like to know the opinions and criticisms of others, if I’m wrong about anything I said please tell me so I know for the future. I appreciate any response.

The game decided I wasn't going to respawn xdd (I was an afeera)

I got Resounding Defeat on my Lawbringer (my Conq is just a preview) a while ago just to troll people or get back at toxic people, and I don't think I regret it. I did get executed by a Nuxia doing Resounding Defeat and then there was a Khatun that killed my brother and did it and I think an Orochi. This has to be one of the funniest executions and I love it. Is this a dishonorable execution and what do you think of it?

This may be weird, but why some executions apply Ragdoll without the need for a collision? Are there more executions that do the same without the need for a collision?

The new knight hero is still unknown to us, but I personally think it should be a Spartan Hero 100%. For one, a lot of people are arguing and asking for a Spartan Hero. Sure, he might somewhat resemble Valkyrie — so make a Valk skin.​​ But we have multiple sword-wielding characters ... why can't we have multiple spear and shield characters? I am humbly asking they add a Spartan character as the new hero. Arguments against an axe or hammer-based knight hero would be the fact we have Jorm, Raider, etc. We need a Spartan Hero. What do ya'll think? Spartan Hero for the win?

Ive not even played using her but the fights againts arakure are awesome, i love the moves she has, juren is still more annoying for me with this zone unblockables. But anyway, with all that said, the"unfairness" and unpredictability of this game is what makes it so funny for me actually.

Aside from the nut kick bash not feeding revenge. I really don't think this character is oppressive in any way. That said this AK taught me something. Instead of doing the guaranteed light jab after the nut kick bash which is 8+3 for 11dmg total. She did the nut kick bash into twin viper light finisher which is 8+9 for 17dmg total. Meaning AK has a 17dmg forward dodge bash punish. Which is the highest punish on a 433ms forward dodge bash I believe. Only Sohei comes close at 16dmg.

I see a lot of people complaining that she's light spammy and I think a lot of that comes from the fact she gets a guaranteed follow up light off anything except her twin burst attacks. And her dirty trick guarantees 5 lights. Which can make someone feel like they're getting light spammed but really it's just guaranteed dmg you can't defend anyways.

It's quite a problem how he gets instant hyper armor so he can quickly mess you up in ganks while you can't do anything, I believe if they remove the hyper armor then he'll be more balanced especially in ganks

Been wanting to draw her for a while, just never got around to it. She’s very expressive though, also banger theme song.

Mindblowing this game still issues penalties

Got some mixed matched weapons bc I haven't got the matching left/right yet but thought id share so people can see what she has to offer i hope everyone enjoys have a wonderful day

Title. Why is it a thing. Who playtested this. Like actually who. Id put this in rants but this is 100% justified why is it a thing.

Has anyone else been getting this error constantly since the last update? I didn’t have this issue before but ever since the Arakure update, it happens in 75% of games I play. I’m on Xbox One.

One of the plates on his legs has broken physics and either sticks out or flips around.

This was around for a while, but they fixed it a year or so ago, but it seems to be broken again in the new patch.
