Everyone's all hyped about the Warden nerfs, I'm just sitting here waiting for all the Shugoki's who spam Oni Charge to start whining.

I personally think Shugoki needs more than just a nerf to his Oni Charge.

He's the only character that can potentially one shit anyone, and also the only hero who can heal from attacking (and that's the same move, keep in mind I know he hurts himself if he misses, but still). He also has the the most damaging move in the entire game (if not then at least one of) which is unblockable and the timing inconsistent based off whenever the user decided to let go of the heavy button/trigger and has the exact same startup animation as a normal heavy attack and trigger the exact same voice line at the exact same time. On top of that he is the only hero to be able to have an uninterruptible stance outside of his moves protecting him even during startups. Plus the Oni Charge which is getting nerfed already.

So I personally think his entire kit as a whole is overpowered, not in the same vain as Warden Vortex or Peacekeeper light spam, but that it is just way too easy to fight really well with his kit in comparison to the other heroes.

I can literally just hold the right trigger three different times and I got a pretty good chance of winning the fight then and there simply because of the uninterruptible stance, the sheer damage, unblockable, inconsistent timing, and resemblance of a standard heavy attack.

I could also spam Demon's Embrace, and even if they do start dodging it, if I get to critical health I still have a pretty good chance because it can one shot anyone at that point.

Let me paint a scene, I play a pretty damn mean Lawbringer, even before the patch, and I have a friend that much better than me at it, and I fought his high rep Lawbringer with my level 2 Shugoki and I didn't die once. His kit needs a rework. And not even too much.
