Juggernaut

Billybob1971

OK, what are you supposed to do if this son of a **** connects with you just once, I had to sit there and basically soak up an entire health bar of punishment, he pushes you to the left, gets endless unstoppable sop is borderline untouchable in all honesty. I quit in the end as it was obvious all that was going to happen was a lost hero, I do find this borderline ridiculous that there is a character ion the game who if he hits you only one time basically becomes utterly unbeatable with a lot of heroes.

This is in story mode 6 I think, near the end, I know he is a tough guy to kill if he connects, but this was fairly silly to be honest, you just sit there and watch yourself being destroyed and nothing you do works.

I know that is kind of the point, but if you make on mistake, fight over, he has endless unstoppable, you can't block or do anything , the fight is pretty much over the first time he connects?

Use an slow or grit champ (though grit wasn't even a thing when act 6 came out)

I thought a parry (while not stunning him) removes a lot of unstoppables. Something with the node in the fight not doing this?

Reading his abilities generally helps alot

Yeah, a couple re-parries would do the trick, but I don't see that being within OP's skill set. Slow/grit or a champ that deals non-damaging debuffs is the way to go. And even then, who knows

“you can't block or do anything“

unstoppable just means he doesn’t get hit stunned. He can very much still be blocked and parried to apply a debuff.

is this a specific juggernaught with hard nodes? Juggy really isn’t a defender at all

a response like this is significantly worse than no response at all and drives me crazy. a person comes to the forum seeking help from other users, telling them that they should 'git gud at reading' isn't awesome. if you know the answer, either post a helpful reply or scroll onward!

He wasn't asking for help. He was complaining, and if you've seen any of his other posts, it's more of the same. This guy just doesn't read anything and comes on here to complain about it.
So how about you post a helpful reply or scroll onward because now there are 3 useless replies instead of 1 on this post by your logic

Hes also not wrong. At all. If the person actually did read the abilities he'd have no issues.

I think OP should read the abilities, it generally helps a lot. Right

Given his post history, you think he knows what a reparry is, let alone being able to reliably and consistently perform them?

Billybob1971

Not everyone who p[lays this game has time to read all the ins and outs of every character, they simply pick up and play. I know perfectly well how to parry, I have no idea what reparry is, and I can't time parry perfectly either, which makes a fight like this very tricky.

It was in a story mode, I think level 5 so pretty tough when you have a team of rank 2 6 stars, and noone who really matches Juggernaut well enough.

So, if I am playing against him and he clips you once, the fight is over, it is that simple, I tried to do a few things but he just gets an almost endless Unstoppable, gets you into the left corner and heavies endlessly too, for someone at my level it is completely, utterly and totally unplayable. SO I simply quite the fight and tried with another hero, I had managed to get his health down to about 40 by then, so it was easy to avoid his contact from then on.

Similar actually to Nightcrawler, was just playing him in PVP, similar power to me, the pathetic OP dashing backwards just makes it a joke, I simply quit as I could not be arsed to sit there and watch the AI just take the piss. It is not FUN to sit there, do as much as you can to work out how to play and watch AI just utterly take the piss out of you, again, quite the fight,l I simply cant be arsed to play against tripe like that, titally differnet to any other character int he game. Great mechanics, but no matter what you do you can onyl land the odd blow, it makes fighting him a completely differnet game, and gain it is a basic pvp fght I cant be arsed. Skip, lose, onto nest opponent.

Him, Medusa, Scream, all fighters I avoid at ANY cost as I have no effing idea how to beat them, otehrs I can beat very easily.

if you don’t have time to read the abilities and nodes, you don’t have time to play this game.

This game is pretty infamous for having very complex champion designs and interactions. I can’t imagine getting very far without reading abilities or guides on a champion you might not understand.

We all start somewhere, it’s totally fine to not understand how a champion works and be confused by it. I do highly recommend looking up a guide, or taking a quick look at abilities, when you face someone like Juggernaut or Nightcrawler that you may not have a handle on yet.

Trust me it’s only going to get a lot more complex and “unfair” as you progress forward, but there’s a reason so many guides exist for new and existing content/champions. Keep in mind though that 99% of champions have a number of great counter options or mechanics. There are close to 0 instances where there’s no option available and a champion is just completely broken.

You’re not going to get very far if you don’t start trying to understand how different mechanics work. On top of that, many great champions have a more unusual playstyle than others. There are plenty of people in this community who would be open to help you with various questions, if that ends up being an easier source for you. If you want to add me in game, I’d be more than willing to answer questions for you when you need, my username is the same as in here. If not, YouTube has countless videos from many creators discussing every champion or boss you’ll come across.

Remember that super powered Act 4 Juggernaut on caltrops? Now that was a bad fight.
