Y7S2 Testing Grounds Detailed Changes

Greetings warriors! Welcome to For Honor's Y7S2: Vengeance.

Kicking off the new season, from June 15th to the 22nd, the Testing Grounds will be open to test improvements to Guard Bash timings. We will also be testing a 2nd round of changes to Lawbringer. The Testing Grounds is meant to test changes to heroes and other fight mechanics before they make it into the live game. These changes aren't guaranteed to make it into the live build. To help us determine what makes into the live game, we need your feedback, so be sure to participate!
