I do not see any problem with the combat mechs... Some people can just never be satisfied... "Too hard" "too easy" "too hard". Can't bloody win!

The new combat is nice, I think, doesn't need polishing? sure! is it bad? No.

As to who would be the best in terms of skill: Difficult to answer:

You would have to look into all possible gear, training, navigation, stealth, even active location.

I think all have different strengths (Looking at it as the people, not the mechs). Altair and Ezio would be the best swordsmen. But Connor would be the best short weapon combat. Edward would be the best sailor. Aveline the best at Stealth. Most knowledgeable could be Altair or Ezio, or even Edward considering his research in later life. Best at navigation is maybe Arno. Use of PoEs... Altair, Ezio or Arno... I would say Altair, but their is a case for all 3. Leadership; depends... maybe Altair, Ezio, Connor, Adewale or Edward (The latter 3 did have to lead crews too).

I guess the most skilled depends on the missions or challenge: is it to take down a ship? To race a thief for cash? to infiltrate a high society place? The most complete is possibly Ezio. But I wouldn't say better skilled overall. I think Arno probably excels past most specifically on his navigation, but I think others have better melee (Ezio, Altair, Connor), stealth (Aveline) leadership (Edward, Altair, Ezio, Connor, Adewale) and knowledge (Altair, Ezio, Edward) than Arno
