How to combat button bashing

[GazzaGarratt 11,324]

I've picked this up and I really love the way it's made, however I feel like I button bash already and I don't want to get stuck in that habit. Anyone found any tips to follow? Probably worth grouping up and practicising how to block and counter with good combos.

I played the beta and quickly realised I would just be a button badger. Always am in these types of games. I guess you need to concentrate on certain combos but I always end up in panic mode

Okay. 1v1 is like a playing a game of chess and like Rainbow Six . Biding your time for the ideal opportunity to strike has helped me no end. I do watch  the directional triangle on the player quite a bit. Its a really good tip for beginners.

However, its difficult to not button bash when you get 1v2 or more. The revenge bar helps but I find switching to lock on to each warrior very quickly keeps me alive a little longer whilst bashing the crap out of heavy attack. I try not to spam it but the intensity of the fight just takes over. It is a steep learning curve.
