No
Ubisoft really needs a complete fucking rework themselves. They have shown time and time again that they are not the right people to be pioneering their games.
They start out with good ideas and intentions(For Honor, Siege, Assassin's Creed, Division, any Ubisoft game/series) but then change everything without even thinking properly.
Siege is NOTHING like it once was, for worse in my opinion due to its "we only balance for the pro's" mentality. For Honor is NOTHING like it once was, for better or worse. They have made good changes, but they are HEAVILY outweighed by the shit they have dragged the casual playerbase(especially console) through. They only care for the top 10% that sweat so hard I'm surprised they can even see through that waterfall. They are trying to normalize everything with their games and are taking away any identity characters have with these reworks.
In the new patch notes, they literally say "we don't want orochi to be a counter attacker, he needs to be more balanced for 1v1" That is fucking retarded. They have ruined Gladiator and made him a generic fighter instead of a stamina bully. They turned Warden from a shoulder basher into a Shoulder Basher with pitiful damage heavies. They turned PK from a glass cannon into a hug risk-low reward nuisance. Shugoki went from an annoying presence that needed to be dealt with to something even a newbie can deal with and have no issues. I haven't even been killed by a shugoki since his rework, I dunno if it's the regards playing him or just how bad they massacred him.
I could keep going on and on but the point has been made. They are trying to make everybody the same character. "They need a bash, they need a side dodge attack, they need hyper armour, they need low stamina costs" NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE VIABLE IN EVERY MODE AND SITUATION.
If they are so worried about people being counter picked at the start of a match, add hero switching mid game or some shit, don't rip away identities and call it a day.
All in all, Fuck Ubisoft games, all my homies hate Ubisoft games after two years of shitty developers and balancing.
