I just played a game against a team with a musha and all I can say is WTAF??? Why the fuck does he have the ability to go into his full parry stance .0001 second after he finishes his last attack? There's literally no window to punish, and then since you can't punish you get light feinted to fucking kingdom come from every direction with no window to dodge out, meaning you have to either be one of those light parry gods to escape or just pray you're reaction time is fast enough to block all of the attacks they spam at you

I've played probably 10 games so far, and in at least half of them I see the same exact thing over and over from different people.

They run up like they're gonna fight, they lock onto me, and then they just stand there. Eventually I'll try to attack to get something to happen and immediately they'll perfectly parry me and then return to standing there. No matter what attack I throw, how many bashes or guard breaks I try, I get parried or countered every single time. I literally sat facing off with one guy for a full minute and a half because he refused to do anything but parry punish me.

I've come across the strategy with one guy at a time before but now it feels like every other game has one or more people doing it and it's ridiculous. I understand that pulling it off takes skill but it just doesn't seem fun. Why would you ignore the entire kit of your hero in favor of "wait for attack, parry, single heavy, repeat". It's also just so soul numbing to fight against in a lot of situations cause there are games it feels like no matter what I do I can't get any damage off. I throw a light or heavy? I get parried. I try fainting it? I get parried. I do a bash so they can't parried? I get dodged and punished.

I'm not an amazing player, but I think it's safe to say I'm consistently good. But whenever I go against this play style it's like years of experience in this game mean nothing

Just finished a Breach game where the teams were fairly balanced skill wise (rare, I know) and as the attackers we got all the way to the Commander with a good 16 lives left. During the whole game there was one guy talking and he was playing Warmonger.

For some reason, in all his infinite wisdom, he decided to start commanding the rest of the team to avoid attacking the commander until his Corruption had recharged, a full 2 minutes, because we would run to the commander and get some hits in before dying. And for some fucking reason my other teammates decided to listen to him. So we went from having 16 lives to 2 lives with the Commander only taking a little under half damage. The entire enemy team was hunting us in pairs cause they realized there was no threat to the commander. I even said that there was no reason not to attack in the chat but he continued to yell it over and over again.

Just because you're the only voice being heard, does not mean you're right.
