    The warlord. Would like to know from you guys

    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

    hes been nerfed once already i believe, so i think hes a bit more in line.

    use him for holding objectives and 1v1ing, but not for the minions obj thats more suited to raider or somethin cuz warlord is kinda short range not best for aoe

    OP? Nno, there are classes more powerful/easier to play, and you do not have OP stuff going on like one/two shotting etc.
    Easier/more forgiving class to play then some others? Yes.

    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.

    Warlord is not OP at all. Hes perhaps a tad too fast for his role but its a minor thing.
    A well played warlord can be tough to beat, but emohazis on "well played" - he does require some insight.

    I don't feel he is very OP. I usually play Nobushi, and mostly you only have to kick or guard break, stab him with a succession jabs and light attacks, apply some bleeds and dodge back when he tries to do a heavy attack or similar, then rinse and repeat.

    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 wish I was OP lol

    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.

    I used the Warlord a lot during both Beta sessions and couldn't wait to use him in the main release but he is definitely not what he was. I'm not sure what it is...partly I'm just not a good enough player I guess but there just seems to be something "off" compared to the way he was...

    He is the same as Open Beta, which is where he took a small nerf.
