How do you counter the Warlord headbutt? | Forums

Title is entire thread. Dodging doesn't seem to get enough space.

Dodge sideways

dodge sideways is the best, but an attack that connects in time will also interrupt it.

logged in to clarify lol,

u cant interrupt a burning animation attack with light attacks (proly heavy too)
and if he got the right range u cant dodge it, BUT if u have side dodge move with attack follow up... thats how u 100% dodge it

The headbutt isn't one of the unblockable power attacks, it can be interrupted by an attack. I say this from experience, as the Warlord is my favorite hero to play. It's really fast though, so you're not going to interrupt it with an attack unless you've already started your swing before the headbutt starts

Well I've tried everything I can think of, it's some grade-A ********... Even filmed it, what am I doing wrong/how do I counter that spam? It gets worse the further into the vid you go...

That´s something that needs serious fixing.... maybe put it into a combo, but not as opener... just like the shieldbash.

I see this a decent amount in 1v1s. Its a ******** move and you cant do **** when he gets a good pin on you. Especially when your facing a good warlord its even worse. I play a conq main and going against that is one the toughest things to counter since he steals your stamina away from you and he uses to no stamina and spamming it which you could obv see in the video. A lot things they gotta tweak i just don't think two weeks will be enough for them to fix all of this. But we'll see.

This game is going to have such a rough time at release balance wise.i really dont think the devs are going to have enough time to properly balance things like this before release.

But yeah ,its a cheap move that need to be balanced and they are many ways to do this ,the easiest would be to add a decent stamina cost.

I really hate cheap players that abuse something like this.You are pretty much trashing him when hes not using it so he goes into full spam mode doing nothing else wich is quite funny.But player like those will continue to abuse something like this until it is fixed sadly.

Frustrating times ahead indeed.

Dodge sideways only reliable works on assassins... so is light attack interrupt. Warlord is pretty busted against all other classes.
