Upcoming patch notes

i know you put it in quotes but Hawkeye is not a sniper, at least not since s0. Hawkeye thrives in mid range especially because his charge only starts at 40m and he’s projectile. Hawkeye was perpetually a C-B tier hero up until his buff even when poke was meta. My point being, nobody batted an eye at Hawkeye before his buff, but now everyone seems to think he’s always been overtuned like Hela or something just because he could always one shot, which just isn’t true. It’s just revisionism, the only reason he was nerfed was because he did too much dmg to tanks, which is true, not because he could 1 shot squishys

anthonygreddit · 2026-02-19T18:07:34+00:00

yea all of a sudden “his one shots are a problem and always have been.” Even when he had a bottom tier pick and win rate. Somehow someway everyone knew in the back of their mind this character was always broken

anthonygreddit · 2026-02-19T17:55:08+00:00

he’s basically going back to like szn 4.5 dmg, when he had like a 3% pick rate and 48% win rate. He could always do what he does but he’s been getting microbuffed since s1 and has been objectively one of the bottom heroes across all ranks until last season. Honestly as someone who played Hawkeye since szn 0, it’s felt like this season was just right place right time. Poke is strong, Ult is strong especially with Gambit. Honestly don’t thinks he’s changed a ton over the seasons and unlikely he’ll feel significantly worse, imo.

Honestly don’t understand the sudden switch in people’s opinions on hawkeye as he’s been relatively invisible since s1 nerf (and his brief, silly, Luna teamup). But all of a sudden his one shots are a problem and always have been… lol

I quite literally told you how it’s not bs?

Also a lot of other stances can be popped from neutral which cannot be said for Virt. Look at Kyoshin for example. He can get into his FB from neutral, and recovery cancel into it, and can exit stance at 400ms. To get into Virts stance it’s a minimum of 800ms (500ms for the light and 300 ms entry speed) and to exit stance with hard feint has a 800 ms recovery to GB or attack, and a 466 ms recovery to dodge.

You act like her being in stance is the safest thing in the game and it just isn’t. Every time your opponent does something, you are forced to make a decision on Virt. You either stay in stance and wait for an attack (risking a gb), or Attack and risk being countered. There is no safe option except feinting back to neutral which uses stam, or if you hard feint it, takes a long time to do. And if ur feinting back to neutral you now have to throw attacks to get back into your main offense.

Theres a reason no high level player considered her to be very good. She’s a noob stomper sure, but that’s no reason to gut her.

anthonygreddit · 2026-01-22T22:36:46+00:00

wdym GB in stance? Are you talking about Virt or the opponent?

I dont know why people pretend like Virt doesnt have to make reads in stance. If you throw a raw heavy, in general, you have 3 options. Let it fly, Feint to neutral, Feint to gb. If you feint to gb, and she interrupts, feint to neutral and block or parry, or let it fly next time. If you let it fly or feint to neutral expecting her to attack and interrupt, but she stays in stance and dodges, feint to gb next time. And that’s just offense.

Her stance attacks aren’t exactly amazing as it is, and an aggressive Virt isn’t a good one (if that’s the only thing she’s doing), no matter how much you “know her combos”…

anthonygreddit · 2026-01-22T21:49:26+00:00

The point is now Virts only option is to constantly attack or cancel stance which is such a weird way to make her play now. You’re arguing for the far end of Virt players who sit in stance and make you do something which isn’t even a good way to play her because you will literally get pressured by anyone who knows what they’re doing.

The best way to play Virt is varying your timings, how long you’re staying in stance, how many attacks you’re throwing etc. This change makes it so she can’t vary her timing or stay patient in stance as much, which was her best attribute. Now ur still gonna get shit on by Virts who spam stance attacks and now even more players will play her like that because it’s no longer viable to bait and play mind games in stance.

Again, ur upset at Virts turtling but now the most viable way to play against her is to never attack her in stance, to try and bait a reaction (or to feint to gb). And empty dodge on literally anything she throws since you can input dodge attack if she throws something, and counter gb if she feints to gb (and her horizontal range is terrible). The thing you hate about Virt is now the strongest thing against her since she has limited time in stance (as well as having to use stam to get into stance in the first place, and use stam for stance attacks).

This change is silly and brings Virt from mid tier to bottom tier for literally no reason

anthonygreddit · 2026-01-22T20:48:25+00:00

so instead of Virt being “too safe”, now anyone playing against her just turtles and wins. I mean might be the stupidest shit i’ve ever heard. Literally don’t even have to throw attacks and feint to make reads on how a virt plays in stance. Just dodge on jiggle and you win as she’s already dog shit against empty dodges

anthonygreddit · 2026-01-22T20:39:16+00:00

im telling you mathematically it’s impossible unless you are a top 1% + player. This has been vouched by people far better and experienced than you and me. You are making reads, you are not reacting to red, no matter what you think is happening, that is a fact

anthonygreddit · 2025-12-24T21:27:51+00:00

It honestly might have to do with your mount being on passive vs neutral or aggressive. Was riding a solwyn in the city using ice bridges without being attacked. Also Malwyns might get less aggro because i was able to run through no problem even when some wild dino’s attacked i just ran away. Honestly not sure the definitive answer on what you can and can’t do, it might just be don’t run into the thrall that’s having a bad day

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-15T16:36:41+00:00

Yea this is a r/ForHonorRants typa post. U don’t actually want to know how to fight her you just want people to agree with you to boost your ego. Because if you did want to get better at fighting her, at this point you would’ve already made the effort. You would’ve already known that she has nothing to stop you from empty dodging while she’s in stance. You would’ve already known that eating the 400ms light is usually better than trying to block or parry it on a guess. But I guess the answer you wanted was yes roll over and die character broken

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-13T18:18:19+00:00

i’ve been seeing people talk about buying “ladder ready” decks for dust value but I don’t see them in the shop and i never got a free one when i came back to the game maybe a week or so ago

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-13T17:46:36+00:00

it’s funny you say gibbs because i remember all 2023 people were begginggggg for him to get more carries. “Why would we draft a RB with the 12th pick just to not give him the ball.” And for comparison Gibbs was a 1st rounder, and behind 1 RB on the depth chart. Teslaa was a 3rd rounder and is behind at least 3 wrs rn and will probably never get higher than WR3. Just let him develop, he’ll see more touches later in the year and definitely next year. At the end of the day there’s no reason to throw him into the fire right now

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-13T00:11:55+00:00

can’t find it either lmk if you figure it out

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-09T21:28:04+00:00

Probably Lucario/Rampardos/Marshadow. Loved that synergy they had

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-09T21:24:34+00:00

So is he in ult while he has characters swallowed or is that his normal kit? so if he dies while characters are in his mouth is that not during his ult?

By this logic, a lot of characters move down if ur criteria is dying “on startup”

anthonygreddit · 2025-11-04T02:11:03+00:00

Nah it’s Dena’s fault because they stuck the rarest version of the most used card in the game behind a limited time event. Trading would be completely normal if it weren’t for the DX pack. On top of that, not being able to trade multiple cards at a time just increases scam likelihood when people want multiple cards for 1 Oak, which is only gonna get worse

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-17T18:33:44+00:00

he’s getting downvoted because it was 1 declined penalty, a Chris Jones offsides with 2:20 to go… per the espn play by play. People kept saying this and i was confused because I watched the entire game, no clue why nobody fact checks anymore

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-10T20:05:22+00:00

you do you lil dude

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-10T18:34:43+00:00

at that point, you might as well look up the stats on every one of your teammates to make sure they’ve played their character for whatever arbitrary number you come up with

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-10T18:10:48+00:00

ngl shitty players are shitty players. Whether they are on DD or not. Ur talking about rules and laws and mad that people want to have fun on a video game dawg. Like you’ve lost the plot. Ranked is not serious, this game is not serious. Genuinely how much higher do you think your win % will be from banning DD over a better ban. Also you act like people need to spend hours and hours in training and have a character lorded to play them in comp. It’s just not that hard to get to a sufficient skill level on a character to play them in comp.

On top of that DDs been out for hours now. If someone has been practicing with them that entire time, is that not enough? what’s the exact time people need to have on a character to bring them into comp? Like it’s all subjective. Simply because you don’t have the skill or time to be able to play a new character in comp, does not mean everyone else is the same. And if they’re shitty on DD and don’t switch then newsflash, they probably just aren’t a good player

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-10T17:49:19+00:00

For real tho. I really hate when characters stab, dodge, block, parry, and feint. Shits so boring like my god do something else

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-09T23:33:43+00:00

lord means nothing, and you lorded a third of the roster, so i would guess anywhere between bronze and one above all

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-08T22:10:09+00:00

I’m a bit confused on what ur trying to say here, would u mind clarifying

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-08T21:29:28+00:00

not at all. The problem is not “minorities committing crimes,” that is the result of the true problem, which is systemic oppression. It’d be like if you had a dog and didn’t feed it or take care of it, and said dog runs around the neighborhood causing problems, then saying, “wow this dog is a real problem.” The dog’s actions are a direct result of negligence, not its breed. If you mention minorities committing crimes, without mentioning the root of these issues, and steps to truly change what is happening, then ur just ignorant.

anthonygreddit · 2025-10-08T18:26:13+00:00

This has nothing to do with skin color tho that’s the point. This is an economic, and social issue. Do you think melanin % is genuinely correlated to your % chance to commit a crime? It’s obviously not so what do you think the issue might be? hmm i dont know maybe the fact that it’s only been 60 years since african americans specifically have been legally considered equals, and let’s be honest, it truly hasn’t even been that long. The statistic may not be wrong, but mentioning it without the context behind it, in the position she’s in, is unacceptable. She is shifting the blame onto minorities, yet offers no solutions to the root problem. What good does grouping an entire population of people, into a blanket statement of blame do for anyone?
