Would love a tutorial specifically on decision making with sword, reviewing recorded gameplay and pausing to talk about why you did something. Lots of mechanics videos on the sword, but few of them even mention the decision making process, which is just as important as mechanics imo. Sweet video!
As much as I absolutely HATE fighting sword players you really have to appreciate the finesse involved when you fight a really good one like yourself lol That vid was funny af thank you for that
i think the previous buff increased the speed and left the duration untouched, making you move faster and lunge farther. With this nerf I think they kept the speed but reduced the duration, so if you're standing on the ground doing a normal lunge you stop short a little sooner than before. So the current sword is technichally better than pre range buff sword. Superdashes are still about the same traversal-wise since the velocity is still just as high, since youre in midair you dont lose the momentum as soon as the hitbox goes away. obviously the offensive range is reduced no matter what. I dont agree with embark making these changes to make the sword "less oppressive" like they said in the patch notes. However, I understand the desire to make the sword gameplay more oriented around efficiently dicing up your opponent while already up in their face and less towards just hurdling at them like a sharp human missile. I understand, but dont agree since the light doesnt have the hp to support that kind of playstyle.
Just realizing why Lunge > melee > swipe might be better than Lunge > swipe > melee. The Lunge > melee > swipe guarantees at least 2 hits and a longer 3rd hit before someone strafes/moves too far to melee. I've gotta adjust especially after sword length nerf. Might help me be more consistent.
I just played sword pree nerf but now since the nerf i just cant hit anything. As well as they seem to not like to shoot you as your destroying them but as soon as they see me or i come in inviz its like, "GET THE SWORD KID!!!" you know. The times they do look at you your movement is just to good they cant hit you so maybe i should work on that.

This nerf kinda made me lose faith in embark. The meta has been pretty stagnant with m/h for over a year. God forbid light has a nieche skill based weapon that a very small amount of players make work with extreme effort. They hit this but defib is fine. Charge and slam is fine. Lewis gun is fine.... im convinced embark just hates the light class :/ i dont even really want to continue playing the game. The meta is filled with anti fun boring cheese equipment and abilities that arent really skill based. And bam sword nerf. Im pretty over the game after this honestly.
I honestly think if embark didn't list this in the patch notes most people would have just chalked it up to hit reg and wouldnt have noticed. It's pretty much just back to where we were before they buffed it at the beginning of the season.
@@Ic3Man_Gaming it feels completely different. The momentum from the lunge pre patch had more or a fade out where it now just abruptly stops at the end of the lunge. The range is notably shorter as well. You definitely feel the difference if you've been using the sword for awhile
Same man. I'll have 90% chance get bad team(bad aim or tactic). Everytime solo. AVG KD 2.3 On limit get 31/2/1. (Quick cash) 38k rating P.s: my build: 1.taser 2.inv grenade 3. Looking for situation. Gates/grenade/smoke.

Might just do that. ;)
True
@@SirYellowJacket looking forward to it! You've filled the void from pullkia and Eidoran no longer doing sword :/
Same here :)

That vid was funny af thank you for that
i think the nerf was too much
Definitely I used to think sword was pretty op until I used it myself definitely didn’t need this much of a nerf
Nerf sucks, but the sword is still the most fun weapon.
I mean. If embark stays on track with this it wont be :(
@@SirYellowJacket it's such a huge difference for me. Like night and day with some hits I'm expecting to land and don't.
Not me watching my own content wishing i had sword back 😢
they buff sword only to give it a bigger nerf. Goddamn it embark, there's nothing wrong to just rollbacking the changes. 😂
Agreeeeeed

@@NinjaNeet no it doesnt matter about the lunge distance, the hitbox is so short now
Those emerald wielders dying to sword goes to show that playtime =/= skill

i also only play with the sword. nice kills man :)

U never know, sometimes that 40 dmg is just the kill anyways
@SirYellowJacket that's true. Gotta start practicing that more. The range shortening is killer tho 💀💀 regardless lol
I gotta steal this song GOOD VID
hello sir yellow jacket why do my sword hits keep going through people
Cause sword sucks rn. The reduced range feels awful
Melee hit reg in this game in general seems to suck. I play spear a lot and there’s times where the charge attack phases thru my enemies

It just takes time tbh. Ull get there
Who else would be the reason for the sword nerfs? They def weren't Nerfing sword because of my gameplay. lol
ive put the routine down to this. queue na in during the day and queue asia at night. rip oce
Yea :( idk how much longer i can hold out for ded game
my sword goat
Why are you gadget swapping? I thought they removed the mini reset it provided. Or is it just lesser now?
My tutorial explains it fairly well
Watchin you inspired me nn I ended up finding a a speed boost slash tht acts like a dash w dual blades :)) 20-4 is my best game as of yet
Bro. If u can make dual blades work i need to know. Ive always wanted to use em but they blow so hard
@@SirYellowJacket to boost move diagonally nn crouch right after your slash
N don’t hold block on throwing knives time them like a parry
Heavy combo: 2 slash melee slash or 2 slash reset slash melee
Whats this nn stuff you’re talking about? I’m very interested in playing dual blades and would appreciate any help I can get

It felt noticably worse to the point I quit sword for the first time since season 2
lmao good edits
Tyty :)
Honestly at this point idk if I could tell you what the actual sword looks like because it's been a baseball bat since season 1
XD that is the default swod skin
I respect the sword play, but I don't respect the use of a stun gun.
Needed now days. Dash lights and charge heavys are too much
nerf was not required... i wish they nerfed the weapon swap technique instead of the lunge nerf
It really only saves micro seconds that tech. Tbh it never needed a buff or nerf, if they just reverted it all back to season 3 thatd be hype
Are these clips pre-nerf? Btw, awesome skill!
Id say half and half
This is why the sword it's the goat in the finals
Until nerf😢😢😢😢
I cri evertim
You better try and fix your network cz it honestly hurts the eyes
Its not me. I play in different regions cause mine is dead. Thats 120 + ping
oh you make weapons get nerfed when you play them
PLEASE PLAY SHOTGUN
