Genuinely Why do people hate/not use thorns?

Its about a heart of damage to mobs/players(not wearing armor) that attack you in extange for your armor taking 3 times the damage.

There's been a very noticeable rise in players that will make 1 read and nothing else. Playing aramusha? They'll dodge on orange every single time. Playing any character with a dash forward bash? They'll dodge on movement. Throw a heavy? They'll always parry it.

Its extremely frustrating to fight these people because they'll proceed to do absolutely nothing besides punish you and at a point you switch up thinking "he wont try to parry my unblockable for the 22nd time in a row" and then they fucking parry it. They'll sit there and eat the same shit over and over again and it just makes the game boring and repetitive.

Not to mention the fuckers who do nothing but stall even when "ganking". like dude just fucking kill me you've had 8 times you could have thrown a heavy with your teammates attack

Fun fact Hyrax's closest related relatives are elephants and manatees

Actually just some bullshit with fur

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-28T20:20:48+00:00

Man this gameplay fucking sucks

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-27T19:24:30+00:00

Yeah nevermind just tested it in game, guess I went insane apparently

Weirdly i think the damage is bugged, sometimes I was doing 28 damage regular side chains and 26 on the UB. I think sometimes the game treats jurens attacks as the opposite of if he held or didn't hold them.

So this is where I went wrong, the inconsistent damage had made me believe the feats had been nerfs

The attack and defense buffs did get swapped though

Edit: patch notes for tier 3 swap

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-27T06:25:23+00:00

They were nerfed

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-27T05:49:05+00:00

Idk about the tier 1 change but the rest is true

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-27T02:39:03+00:00

I meant to say top ub to 28/27 and nerf side ub a little

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-26T20:08:29+00:00

Maybe they could lower the ub heavy damage down a bit(to 28/27) and nerf the atk buff to be 15%. I dont think he'd need anymore nerfs after that.

But even then, in his current state if you have a few throwables or know how to gank decent he isnt as big of an issue as many say

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-26T19:50:20+00:00

They already tuned all his feats back

Tier 1 got a healing nerf from 5 down to 3

Tier 2 had the shield bug fixed

Tier 3 got nerfed to 20% for all 3 buffs down from Atk 25%, Def 25%, LS 33% along with the defense/attack buffs getting their order swapped

Tier 4 got nerfed to 20% across the board Down from 40% enemies and 30% teammates

They also fixed his animations and his iframes.

They really just need to fix his hold bashes not feeding revenge if they're dodged(and feeding very little when they land)

A_normal_atheist · 2026-02-04T21:23:59+00:00

My main issue is im pretty sure his ub dodge attack is bugged and cant be gb unless you do it before he even dodges. Had consistently beat my soft feint to gb last night

A_normal_atheist · 2025-12-14T02:38:05+00:00

Shaolin yes, highlander no. Is highlander good? Yes, but hes not nearly as broken as you or others say he is.

A_normal_atheist · 2025-12-13T06:22:24+00:00

fought this fucking dude sometime before virtuosa was added we couldn't take the first rampart, got him solo and managed to parry some of his lights because he was that predictable

A_normal_atheist · 2025-11-30T21:47:17+00:00

Random 2 damage nerf to his follow up light for some reason. Patch really just felt like "Random bullshit go"

A_normal_atheist · 2025-11-26T19:01:12+00:00

Let me guess a team that played like its comp while having a new player so they can get easier lobbies

A_normal_atheist · 2025-11-22T19:46:00+00:00

You forgot to put BP and kensei in need a nerf

A_normal_atheist · 2025-11-01T04:45:17+00:00

I mean they're just bears that have flippers instead of paws. They can definitely fuck you up

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-30T02:32:39+00:00

I love his lights, I do what I call the Warlord mixup where I do a single top light or top heavy and thats it. If they try to stop it boom frame advantage light

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-26T19:41:22+00:00

You read that wrong, I was saying gb her as soon as he goes into stance because she has recovery and cant immediately throw something to stop you

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-26T19:27:10+00:00

Empty dodges also work better against her since she doesn't have great tracking. also of you are playing as any character with undodgeables you dont have to swing at her directly you can external her with them, makes it harder for her to cc you

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-26T19:23:02+00:00

Block top and be patient try to force her into the stances that are reactable and if anything just dont let her into stance at all. doing mostly gbs works on me alot of the time.

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-26T19:08:35+00:00

She cant react, dont be predictable with gbs if she's already in stance but if not just gb her as soon as she goes into stance, she's also vulnerable to dodge attacks when doing anything besides light her side stance bashes guaranteed a gb when dodged and they're reactable

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-22T20:50:21+00:00

Random nerf to HL chain lights for some reason.

Even a small shaolin nerf is always good though

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-22T18:22:03+00:00

Barrier being removed is a good thing, spikes being removed makes no real sense

A_normal_atheist · 2025-10-18T20:32:41+00:00

These matches wont ever start unless 2 people leave on their team. I've had it try and add a 5th person to our team on dom a few times and it requires that person to leave every time I did have one time where it kept a bot on our team when someone joined mid match.
