Jorm lights are like Centurion, they don't technically have undodgeble, but they do...I don't know how to explain it, but if you time it correctly you can catch people mid dodge every time. Pair the almost unreactable 500ms "undodgeble" lights with the fact he can now immediactly access hes smash for 30dmg either he lands the light or not and you have cancer itself. If you try and predict the dodge you get light spammed, if you try and predict the parry you get pushed and smashed. GREAT HERO DESIGN. The lights need to lose the undodgeble for real and the smash need to be harder to access. Even more so in dominion when 1 button equals to 30dmg plus a huge shield.

[@shadowofthehitokiri5787]

I don't get why people are mad about the bash damage, while Cent exists. Also, why couldn't they have changed the GB light input for the displacement heavies and the heavy input for regular heavies when not near a wall.

I don't have a problem with how he plays, I just have a problem with how much damage his unblockable and bash do. A 34 damage wallsplat is quite a lot of damage. I think the unblockable was 40 something damage on a second hit mixup. Imo, that's a tad high. As for the feintable bash, most of the ones we have now confirm ~20 damage, and Jorm gets a whopping 30. And it being a chain bash doesn't matter, because he now has zero problem opening someone up. I like the rework overall, but I still think that his damage should be toned down a little.

[@crafty_badger]

Jorm main here. Returned to the game after 2 years absence and I like the rework. A bit lacking in dmg from big moves, but he's finally feeling fair.

Idk.. kinda miss the days where u didn’t lose half your healthbar for getting hit with a bash animation.. if u dodge the jorm bash near a wall then u can eat two heavies.. if u just take the bash and the damage it seems like it would be the same either way🤷🏽‍♂️ other than how much damage he does in that one move and how easy it is to just keep doing it I’d say it’s a very good rework!!

[@kittycaos1232]

@Nick Kiggers The funny thing is that if you are in a situation where you are next to a wall like that while defending against a mixup, Kensei is way scarier than Jorm. Basically take what the original comment was saying about the amount of damage you would eat if you guess wrong against the different mixup options, and raise the number to 34. Admittedly, this situation only really works if the Kensei has you in heavy hitstun (otherwise you can just light Kensei out of his mixup). Kensei has been this way for a while and yet no one really seems to have any issues with it, at least not as far as I’ve seen. Long story short, I feel that people just need to practice their matchup knowledge against this new Jorm before making conclusions.

[@truboiitrillest9106]

@Nick Kiggers like I said a bash used to guarantee 12-15 damage tops. That’s my only issue with it. And I’m not crying about anything. I’m sharing an opinion which I have every right to do on this video. Don’t like or agree with it? That’s fine just carry on about ur day bro🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Bash_Minimal]

It has struck me how redundant the parry and gb followup options are. The parry riposte deals 4 more damage (16 vs 12) for 3 less stam (6 vs 9) than a light followup, and still has access to identical chain pressure. When attempting a wallsplat for the additional 22 dmg, the gb hammer punches deal 2 more damage (12 vs 10) for 18?! less stamina. The knee followup is best for all other situations without a wall or when the opponent is oos, but the complete lack of tradeoffs between the two when going for a wallsplat seems odd.

[@Tsunami5062]

You can also wall splat with gblight into throw

[@incrediblis]

[@nuke1863]

I mean i still do the wrong GB punish and accidently Push around my opponent lmao

[@peytongibbs2171]

To be fair, wallsplatting in a gank isn't a great decision even with Jorm. You'd get more damage if you threw a heavy after Jorm bash-light-lights, than if you just let Jorm heavy-wallsplat-heavy. Wallsplatting would reduce your extra heavy to, like, 6 damage. This of course feeds revenge however.

[@nern8508]

The only issue i have with this rework is the not guaranteed gb after dodge the inchain bash, its like... come on i need to make a read to avoid a 30 dmg punish and you tell me i need to dodge early to have a confirm gb? with all the risks that brings? and with the variable hitstun from a light or a heavy or buffed guard switch? on my book it doesn't seem fair

[@loogiemusmaximusoftides8540]

Dodge attacks punish bashes, not GBs

[@nern8508]

​@@loogiemusmaximusoftides8540 Okay, let me ask you a question. Why can i punish with a gb a gryphon kick, warden bash, centurion punch, warmonger bash, shinobi kick, etc, etc... Do you know what all these bashes have in common? I'll tell you, its the main mix up of the character, not a opener, the high damage potencial in this attacks makes a fair trade if you opponent make the correct read, is a situation of high risk, high reward. Like i said, if you make the incorrect read you get punish with 30 dmg, is not exactly low if you ask me, its not even low compared with othe mix ups like conq inchain bash. And reduce all to "use your dodge attack" its absurd, you make it worse, becouse we have characters with slow dodge attacks and on top of that we do not take into account the hitstun, its diferent to dodge with a light hitstun or heavy hitstun or slow reaction to make a read, these small variations make it possible for the jorm to trade hits with the opponent using his inchain zone.

[@nuke1863]

11:20 the four horsemen of the 'forbidden' zones lmao

[@Anonymoose862]

As a non-competitive player my problem with jorm is how much damage the in-chain bash, especially in an anti-gank if their team don't mess up the punish. I feel like with his hyper armor and neutral bash he can chip you down pretty well and easily put you in a high pressure situation thanks to the sheer damage of it. This on it's own isn't a problem, other characters like hitokiri have this but worse, it's that fact that even if they throw it they get another 50/50 to counter your response and put you back in the hotseat. Maybe there's just something I haven't noticed yet but it feels super oppressive to play against, kind of like the thing you can do with conq where you fast flow into all guard if you predict a dodge attack, and do nothing if you predict a guardbreak to counter their response

[@aersla1731]

Tough for the dev team to balance for duels and then team modes.. Honestly the only gripe I have with jorm is his chained bash, you have characters like cent that when they whiff a bash they will get hit with a heavy no matter what level of bash it is, even the kick, just feels wrong to give jorm such a safe bash that pays out with big dmg, but I am just a duel casual player so my opinion doesn't matter too much xD

You DO get a gb off of read, you just can't stand around "looking at the pretty orange" as freeze said. You see the bash indicator -> immediately dodge -> gb punish :) Also the damage is fine imo.

I do like his new running heavy and that his attacks push you around though. I think a really cool thing would be giving him chargeable heavies like shugoki or hito.

[@nem__tren1132]

To be honest, I don't like the hitboxes of his chain zone. This is another inappropriately large hitbox that hits you outside of the weapon. I recently took zone damage from some distance behind the jorm. This is annoying when playing against a Medjay, and now against a Jorm

[@WeaverOfStars]

You can also get bulwarked by a BP that was behind you with how big the hitbox is. I was fighting in a team fight with Jorm against someone else while one of my teammates was fighting a BP behind me and got bulwarked even though I wasn't even attacking him at that moment.

[@derlumpensammler9971]

I think Jorm's damage is too high. Yes, his normal attacks deal rather low damage now, but if he gets a wallsplat, which really isn't difficult with proper positioning and his moveset, it is rather high and chains into another potential wallsplat. The chain bash leads to a healthswing of 74 (30 damage slam, 40 shields, 4 heal from the bash) with feats. On a hero that has heavy perks already. And even without feats: Hamarr Slam deals more damage than Valk's and Shaolin's follow ups and seems to be easier to confirm by a teammate and also has good accessibility. And Jorm can even chain from it.

[@MorganFreemansAnus]

I don’t think he’s broken. He just isn’t Jorm anymore. He just feels like another character with “flow”. Flow is ruining the game, not every character needs it. It’s completely removes a big learning element from the game. An example is like Orochi and Black Prior for example. Orochi had very easy flow and it’s understandable, Black Prior is not exactly a flowing character, however you can flow with him depending on two variables. 1. If you’re good with him. 2. Capitalizing off of an opponents mistakes. Black Priors move-set revolves around that kind of pressure. Before it’s said, pressure and flow are completely different. Yes you can create pressure via flow but it’s not like you need one to do the other. The last 4 characters we’ve gotten have been all about flow. Not everyone needs Dodge recoveries, not everyone needs the possibility to infinite chain. Now I know they wouldn’t do that too everyone in a million years, and a lot of characters still have an identity, but I’m just saying, it’s starting to feel that way because it’s all they’ve done the past 2 years. I know Jorm wasn’t good pretty much his entire existence, but he still had an identity. You can rework a character and still get them to keep an identity. Now Jorm just feels like another infinite chain 50/50 you’re wrong, you’re right character. They need to stop pumping out these reworks. Valkyrie just needed some tweaks to what she already had, have no idea why they touched Kensei, I understand Shinobi, I have no idea why they reworking LB. The list goes on and on. These characters don’t need flow on a level like they are trying to make. You cannot get better and learn to adapt when you have water like flow all the damn time. They really need to take a step back and look at what they are doing. I love this game, but they are making this game so easy now. Jorm needed a rework, but they should’ve kept the stamina drain and pressure concept for him. He doesn’t need to flow the way he does now. There is a lot more I got to say but I’m not tryna type an entire novel so I’ll leave it here. Obviously this is my opinion and I know other people think otherwise, but this is just so annoying.

i always forget to test myself, but does the inchain zone bounce off of superior block like normal zones or does it not?

[@Ostrid1]

The in chain zone does not bounce off superior block but your opponent superior block punish still will hit you before you get to do anything else

can someone explain me please just why they changed the animation on the light attack if the speed is the same?

[@SpartanNinja-hw5xg]

It was for reaction monsters. Before, some people could react to the difference between the poke light and the swinging heavy because of the big difference in animation. Now they are both swings so it's much harder

Honestly more balanced then the raider rework. Plus afeera and Zhan are way scarier. Jorm needed some love for once. I understand in ganks he can be really scary but honestly I find him easier to deal with then most of the roster anyway.

The thing is when Nuxia gets her official rework, the community will actually have a reason to hate on the character rather than just spewing the pure enmity and irrelevancy towards her all these years as well. We will definitely see more bandwagon Nuxias, but these will be clearly the same people that couldn't have cared less about her lol.

[@thediamondcutter9185]

The only problem I have with Nuxia's rework is how she became both untouchable and unpublishable, destroying you with lights and this weird bashes.

[@IVova6260]

The community needs to stop b****ing, I get complaints from my buddies telling me that jorm should be able to chain on a whiffed bash, and I tell them every time they complain. Either do an early dodge to get the gb, or just do a dodge attack, but no they refuse to listen to me. I even tell them to treat jorm as if he was shugo on steroids since shugo is one of the few to chain an attack on a whiffed bashed. But nope they insist on complaining. If jorm gets a nerf to bash, yall know why.

[@turbaecarissimus9752]

This analysis is part of the reason why we are in the position we are in now. Neither content creators nor devs are able to recognize unhealthy mechanics/power creep when it's right in front of them, and instead go to prove how it's not *quite* as bad as the current OP hero(s). Just because this rework isn't as bad as LB doesn't make it healthy for the game. Reworks like this are the reason we see heroes CONSTANTLY being released when they are too OP. As long as this community keeps rolling with it things aren't going to change, and it's the reason why this game peaks at 4500 players on any given day.

[@fkkfreeze]

power creep isn't necessarily bad, it's just a buzzword. You need innovation with new heroes and reworks or it'll get boring real quick. Feel free to point out the unhealthy aspects that I forgot to mention. actual facts if possible, not like the player number you just mentioned.

[@turbaecarissimus9752]

@@fkkfreeze Power creep isn't a buzzword, it has a definition that described the state of the game for the past couple of years at least. It carries a negative connotation because, like in the case of For Honor, it's usually a bad thing. The point of your video is that Jorm's rework isn't actually that bad, especially when compared to recent reworks/releases (you literally compared it to Valk and Tiandi iirc). That is my point, and it's an example of how power creep now has us in a situation where instead of getting Heroes that are around the same power level, but varied and innovative in their offense, we are supposed to be happy when one rework isn't *quite* as overpowered as the last 3 we got. It's like this community has been so worn down by having obviously OP characters stomping around the battlefield (see Raider being obviously op for MONTHS before a simple nerf to damage numbers), that as long as a new character/rework doesn't have Unblockable, Undodgeable, 30 damage, 400ms Lights people are happy to slop it up.

[@fkkfreeze]

You need to pay attention how I brought up these other reworks. The context is about the amount of complaints, not the strength per se. But I get the confusion, so my bad. But I fully stick to my point of powercreep being nothing but a buzzword. Same as your "400ms lights etc" Let me repeat. what are the unhealthy aspects of the rework that I didn't mention. And then feel free to add what the best rework was in your opinion.

[@trebopp5367]

Rep 70 jorm here. He is now trash. Thanks devs

[@janejuarez8516]

I don't really know if you can justify his lack of damage (except combo zone and highly interruptible hammer slam) in all areas just because of the walls. Not to mention that if you aren't by a wall you aren't gonna execute either. Not to mention that if you light parry you are stuck with 22 damage, while the other characters, and im sure every single other character, gets more than that. (maybe you can say pirate but they still get the gunshot afterwards). Im curious, do you not like high damage? because even back then before jorms rework with his heavy splat to the wall (it was high damage I admit) he was still considered the worst character.

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

Hi mr.Fweeeeeze

[@ReggieTheCaracal]

make zones great again

[@AverageYTcomment]

His heavy finishes should be blue instead of orange. Also, a non charged bash guaranteeing 30 damage looks a little to much for me. Besides that, I liked the new animations a lot.

[@derlumpensammler9971]

Why would you give them the undodgeable property? There is no reason for the enemy to dodge, if those attacks are not unblockable anymore. The chain bash is too slow for a bash/undodgeable mixup.

Love the rework, but if there's one thing they should look at is the feats. It's a bit much to have a teir 3 that deals decent damage and puts you OS

[@warprifter8772]

or the 2nd teir feat that if used correctly with how often the hammer down can occur will give yorm enough armor to survive most team fights. I'm seein the breach 1v4 scenarios coming back.
