For Honor Thoughts on Assassins: OP or Not OP?
Obviously, by assassins, I am referring to the three fast counter-attack heroes of For Honor, Peacekeeper, Orochi, and Berserker.
As someone who played a lot of Peacekeeper myself, I find her to have a lot of advantages in the average battle, and I can compare my experience to the other assassins.
I have played both Lawbringer and Peacekeeper around the same amount of time (all three being newly Reputation 1 and I have taken note that I am two times better as Peacekeeper than I am with the other two heroes. Their speed and counterattack abilities make them really useful.
I'm not calling them OP. Truthfully, I don't know what to think of them.

I wouldn't say they're OP. But a peace keeper can -blam!- my lawbringer because he's so slow. If I can grab them and push the fight into a corner they're normally not well off for long but if they can avoid me they normally manage to get me low or killed.

Some issues with Assassins deal with their mechanics. Orochi is known as a Noob Stomper due to how easily the basics in his kit are used, and gets dropped when people don't fall for those tactics. Berserker is pretty fun to mess with, being a human Beyblade. PeaceKeeper is a salt hoarder due to console frame rates being lower than PC, thus some of her attack indicators are not showing up in time for people to react. All in all, the Assassins are all quite fun, and they do what they do quite well. Zip around, secure kills, and Rush after the next victim.

Peacekeeper is the only op one. Berserker and Orochi are fine

I think that they are balanced. But I think Shugoki needs a block speed buff. While playing Shugoki I couldn't ever block a PK light attack spam and after watching a video comparing block speed I realize Shugoki has such a slow time to block. I'm not saying nerf PK but Shugoki blocks attacks way slower that every other hero.

Assassins are balanced. The only one that was broken was PK. Some would argue she still is. Zerker and Orochi have always been balanced. The turtle meta and Warden's vortex are really what need to be addressed.

As a Warden, I love to fight Berkserkers.

I hate assassins, likely because I'm terrible at fighting them. most of my hate is directed at orochi, dodges all my attacks, guard break+heavy, and that stupid deflect attack does damage even if it visibly missed
