Ronin
Litterally every single match half of the enemy team if not all of them are Ronins. They are simply way too powerful and basically out play any other titan. All you have to do is dash 3 times with the extra dash, go invisible and spam the sword/melee button when you get to the enemy. At this point there is nothing to do if this is happening to you. You don't deal enough damage at that close of range in that amount of time and you cannot run away because all they have to do is dash 3 more times and they're a few steps ahead of you. Next thing you know your titan is doomed and you last about 20 seconds in your titan. Also because of how fast they move/dash it is a lot harder to rodeo the Ronin to take a battery than it is to do on all the other titans. Something needs to be nerfed with the Ronin. It gets really annoying and frustrating when everyone is using it and spamming the sword/melee button and the dash.

Now people want to nerf the poor Weeb?
Geez...i think Ronin needs a buff, he's too week...
Just gid gud m8, Ronin is super easy to counter
The trick with ronins is to use trap abilities against them after baiting there phase dash. Most ronins phase to attack or to escape damage so when they do use the trap ability and start attacking them. They will flee if they are smart.
Scorch is probably the best counter to ronin in direct frontal battle, but problem is that nuke works well with ronin which is annoying to evade as a scorch.
So you are saying that OP need to use direct counter to kill Ronin and that he can't go 1v1 with a pistol against Ronin and win?
Second, Scorch is a terrible counter to Ronin, and only works if the Ronin is a bad Ronin as OP described.
Third, if the Ronin is as OP described, just melee pin them. Then they do no damage and you're dealing damage. If they actually decide to start shooting, dash back and shoot them.
Ronin - Sword insta kill
Tone - Missile barage - will kill all but a new Titan even with shields up
Scorch - ground and pound - kills all in its way - one two or three Titans
NorthStar - Missile barrage a bit weak but will kill a wounded Titan with ease.
ION - Nerfed the laser shot and laser blast - OMG
The Monarch is weak if you get one on one new but once the Monarch ramps up its power ups it's gets way overpowered - problem in open servers with no shields it's easy prey for Titan Pilot weapons. Now on Titan Brawl were it just has to deal with Titans its great but on open servers it's very weak.
Last but not least what we are here for the Ronin - slow it down some or take away one of its dashes and the sword should not be way better than shields at blocking incoming damage. This Titan can traverse open areas and not worry about taking damage to get to u. More people leave games even me when most of the opposite team is all running Ronins.
first of all: just use scorch and hold "L1"
second: "Huehuehuehuehue BRBRBRBR" i know what this means...
You git gud. I haven't played this game in nearly a month. I'm just checking in to see if I can return yet, and no amount of drivel will convince me that sword block doesn't need a rework. At this point, it's not much of a loss to me if you all want to play Roninfall. Have fun.
I play Ronin, nothstar and tone and I have no problem dealing with Ronin as Northstar. just keep moving and shooting and you can beat a Ronin since he is slower in sword block and can't block if he is attacking. just bait out the phase shift before you tether and cluster and you would be fine. legion is really good at burning though sword block as well. just keep shooting to eat though it and power shot to knock back the Ronin. Ion can just spliter shot the **** out of ronin, which btw, no one does. Monarch... well straight counter to Ronin so there is that just keep shooting and you would be fine. and then there is tone and scorch. Tone, nothing to say. He is gets hard countered by Ronin so nothing you can do. and Scorch is even match up and it's really depend on how smart the Ronin player is and the map of the engagement.
It sucks the fun factor out of a good LTS game when the other team decides to run 2 or 3 Ronins and 3 or 2 Ions and the Ronins just tank damage while friendlies kill you, or you engage non Ronins and the Ronins kill you. I realize that in one on one is not a big issue and that Ronin's are occasionally beatable in LTS, but the time it takes to kill a Ronin that just walks right up to you, makes this game not fun. That's all, just aggravating and not fun.
It's the game mode's fault for not having highlander rule. The titan alone is fine
Sword block is fine. and if it makes you feel better, there is a sword block bug where Ronin's back & up to a 45° angle from behind to his torso can be pierced randomly. Hitscan pierces from behind while projectiles pierced from the angle
Right. Only bullets and lasers should be blocked. I made a similar request back when Northstar got Nerfed against Ronin's sword block. This would be enough to balance sword block. Isn't it funny to watch Ronin players come up with the most ludicrous claims as to why it's balanced.
PSA: To all Ronin mains, you are not "that good" at Titanfall, sword block is unbalanced... please accept this fact.
I'm glad the bug exists. Hopefully Respawn doesn't fix it until they nerf Sword Block.
There is a Sword block bug that causes it to have 50% chance to not block the damage (even phase dash damage) that everyone may have accidently abused but they didn't know. With that bug, if you still can't deal with Ronin, you are probably bad.
