First of all, i liked the warlord quite a lot during alpha/beta. Im a sword and board kinda guy, and i really like the appearance and the playstyle of this hero. But hearing people say that hes OP kinda turned me away because im not the kinda guy who likes to play the OP chars.
Been switching chars since then, but my heart is looking in the warlords direction.
So i would like to know from you guys. Is he really OP? And if so, what makes him so powerful?
Or is it a L2P issue on the other side of the sword?
Thanks
I don't think he's OP, I use him all the time. I'm Rep1 with a 52 gearscore, and he does ok. In duels though where gear don't matter, a player who knows the Peacekeeper can practically destroy the Warlord. Honestly though, put a good Warlord against a good Peacekeeper in a mode where gear don't matter, I'll put my money on the peacekeeper. The warlord is my favorite character, but he needs a buff against this Peacekeeper. It's rediculous. Warlord is just too slow against a peacekeeper in default.
the warlord has been nerfed, he's not as good as he was.
but against the OP characters such as Orochi and Peacekeeper maan they can destroy the Warlord easily, they have a very fast light attacks and some of them are unblockable (Orochi). apllies bleeding with the light attacks(peacekeeper).
i am literally struggling against them specially the Orochi when they go guardbreak then that 2 super fast attacks (unblockable youre so dead)
i hope they fix the vikings valkyrie is already broken…
I feel like in duel's as a WL I am just at a disadvantage. It's most certainly MOSTLY a L2P issue on my part, I am currently R1, and played WarLord to R2 in beta so I'm not new to the class.
But holy ****, fighting a PK, I have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to do except get lucky and guess which way he is dodging to land a light or heavy attack. They can easily move away from the Headbutt, They might as well be covered in grease cause I can't grab em, even when I do they're able to block a heavy sometimes. It's awfully frustrating!
In 4v4 modes I feel stronger, my gear isn't top notch or anything so I don't think it's a gear advantage but just in duels I feel like I'm lacking something.
He is the same as Open Beta, which is where he took a small nerf.Originally Posted by FightingFerrets Go to original post
