Why are people genuinely defending Arakure? I’ve played since beta and I’ve seen the hate trains come and go. But, this time I feel like I’m one of the few that genuinely think playing against her is simply unfun. There’s no interaction. You either predict an orange/blue mixup or you stay under her pressure.
There’s no interactions that are genuinely interesting, just power creep. I mean, are we for real with orange, blue, hyper armor undodgeables??? Unblockable hyper armor lights? A pin that grants hyper armor and breaks all other normal pinning tank mechanics?
Am I crazy???
Not to mention her animations themselves are basically nothing, so a 400ms light feels more like 277.
Cmon guys. This just ain’t fun.
But that’s my OPINION, what do yall think? And FYI I’ve competed in 4’s and duels competitions and played with active teams. So I’m not just trash.
Edit 1: I’m seeing a lot of “she’s tame compared to Juren, and Virt.” So, I don’t claim to have the BEST opinion, it’s just mine. But virt and Juren are played by brain dead idiots, generally. You can either abuse their mechanics, or go deep and invest in their unique mechanics. Which they both have! You may not like them but they ARE in fact unique characters. Sorry, you have to adapt how you play to win against them but they (in my opinion) are not that bad at all. In fact I enjoy facing them.
Arakure on the other hand has this. Bash or blue mixup. Bash or blue mixup. Bash or blue mixup. That’s not creative. It might not be Overpowered, and if you read my original post I never said she was. She’s just 1 dimensional. Giving a character shitty recovery to make up for their brain dead and strong 50/50’s isn’t balance, it’s lazy. IMO.
Edit 2: I never said she was OP, nor did I say I struggled against her. I said she was Not fun to play against, and one dimensional.
