that chain zone addition alone makes him the most fun char in the game and gives him so much depth hope it gets to live next title update instead of next season
Honestly, don't even care if this made him slightly better, the animation is too cool and this feels like what his identity should have been the whole time.
I had 14 rep with medjay before this TG and really felt like I was done with his kit possibilities. This change would really give me something to chew on to rep 70. His mixup potential exploded
These changes were great and as a medjay main im happy hes getting these changes. I agree with everything you mention here. Although i wasnt too fussed about the switch stance ability in mid of chains. Its nice to see him have it. Especially now that i dont need to wait for my bp to do a shield bash to confirm my bash anymore😭
Hyper armor on lights needs to go in general. I want jorm to get uninterruptable on his slam and I wish that he could chain his bash from the dodge forward punch. Minor rant lol
Hyper on lights is a weird topic With hitos case you could actually trade with them if the opponent tried to interupt you or did a dodge at the wrong time. Even then you only got hyper off of the light finishers so it wasn’t as oppressive as other things in the game. I can see some justification for them removing medjays hyper lights: He has an infinite combo with hyper at every heavy, having hyper lights could be too much unstoppable force; however, as the video demonstrated there are now situations where you can interrupt the chain with a rando light
Agreed, it is so frustrating the Hulda hammer slam does not have HA. Especially when you iwn teammates hit you out of it. Same problem with the Shaman bite
The meta now is to nerf the only true problematic move on his kit, TRC (Throne room clutch). If they make it to feed more revenge and, if they please, nerf the armor reduction a little bit, Medjay will be perfectly fine.
@@El_Malanga02 Who's talking about realist? What sense it makes for gameplay to reduce the opponent's damage while being ganked? Better for balance is to nerf the defense reduction.
Its a fine day when freeze uploads! Didnt consider in chain zone as an alternative punish for his bashes but will use them now! Do you think we will ever get zone after finisher or would that be too much?
Not sure how I feel about this. Yeah, Medjay's problem mainly comes from his inability to flow with the stance changes, but I'm not sure that I like the whole removing his armor on staff mode chain lights, and making his axe mode light finishers undodgeable. The zone switch is also going to be annoying, because it automatically changes your stance, instead of letting you pick which one you want to use.
@@vapor_snake920 he kinda just feels boring after his rework he got a couple years ago. And since then I’ve been struggling to really find a grove with him much. Even though he’s my main.
@@Me_Myself_Maly i can’t comment much considering that I play at a higher mmr than most players, and at that level, I had a terrible time using old Shaolin since most players could react to anything he can do, but I can understand more casual level players probably not feeling that.
They need to make undodgeables earned and not free. Look at orochi, he can use it whenever he pleases with no hesitation and he gets rewarded for it but if I use it on gryphon it’s earned by being mid chain and it’s easy to parry
Highlander losing uninterruptable is going to make him truly special alright...... special needs as he's a incompetent derp as players so much as sneeze on him to interrupt him.
This is what I want to see for more hero’s instead of nerfing them Into oblivion cough cough ,gryphon, Shugoki and conq. Nerfing them properly by giving them something else in their kit to compensate. Im mainly looking medjay as a great example
you can’t keep adding both bashes and blue lights. gave just becomes dumb binary choices requiring precise input windows. not just scrubs detest blue lights. You think dodging attacks is less fun than feinting into some silly gb mechanic that makes no sense in physical reality? They have bashes. we need dodges. If you want more blue lights, first nerf bashes please
@@Two-for-One_half-off well I mean he is supposed to be simple. He does his job as a simple hero absolutely perfect. He is supposed to stay basic and effective tho.
@@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162 If Raider and Kensei had stayed simple, I might agree. As it is, rather than give Warden anything that might make him feel like he has more than just Shoulder and double lights, he’s been left as the “basic is good hero” for some reason. Do people see Warden next to Medjay and say, “Oh wow, Medjay has all these options, but good thing Warden is fundamentally solid and thus on equal footing!”? Who plays Warden anymore?
@@Two-for-One_half-off he's the Soldier 76 of For Honor, easy to learn, not much more difficult to master, effective. If you want a hero with more depth and similar aesthetic Warmonger exists
Sure, it’s a needed change but in my opinion he is a busted character. One of the best gankers and his damage is dumb. Thankfully they nerfed his damage a little bit ago but it still doesn’t make him balanced. No brain cells required.
It's always nice to see characters get more depth
(Angry Warden noises)

I was surprised from day one that he had no good means of switching stances in combat. Long overdue!

I can agree on axe stance chain heavies needing some help, it can't always catch early dodges, at least that's what it feels like.

he use to have uninterruptable on his slam but they took it out ;-;

I like the way you said baboon. And happy Xmas.
My only complaint on Medjay is the Blue on light finish, the transition zone, pretty fucking cool

Or Simply switching the unique buffs of his t2, so his 1s get slightly better while weakening his ganks
@@NDO6 Would make no sense to reduce the opponent's damage while being grabbed.
@@FullAdDariusBRI think it’ll be better for balance. Idrc if it’s realistic or not as long as it’s fun or not super frustrating.

When is this going live?
can you all imagine the antigank potential ESPECIALLY in revenge? having to keep up with the extremely fast moveset swap on the fly mid combo? omg
Other than the cop out blue light, I'm VERY happy with this testinv grounds
Well Ubi kinda killed Shaolin for me. So I guess I can give Medjay a shot with these changes if I ever get back into FH.
How did they kill Shaolin for you?

@@Me_Myself_Malyyou’re just ass
I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that you can hit bash button when an ally hits an opponent and you will initiate a knee grab
Merry Christmas 🎄
Have a good holiday!
1:05 oh god no, undogeable heavies are to safe and the reward is absurd.

Where do we go to give feedback for the tg?
when do these changes come into effect from the testing grounds please
They were in TG a month ago. Super fun to play with. We could see it in the game soon but don’t take my word for it.
I’d love these changes. Tho I agree that the axes mode chain heavy should be undodgable, not the light finishers.
All that versatility, yet the devs can't be bothered to give LB a friggin' light chain 😐
Somehow they released how medjay SHOULD have been from day 1
Highlander losing uninterruptable is going to make him truly special alright...... special needs as he's a incompetent derp as players so much as sneeze on him to interrupt him.
Time to switch mains, buddy
You can’t just throw the heavy instead of a second light
They should just stop rushing the characters same with ocelot unfinished
i would love the switch stance for shaolin
This is what I want to see for more hero’s instead of nerfing them

I think you miss the point of what he is saying
still not in the game lmao
Next week
Thank god i thought this gem of a change was forgotten
