He has one OP move and that his headbutt stab, it's not that it does too much damage but it's literally just a dude trying to headbutt you and yet he can seemingly hit you with it from a pretty far distance without much effort. It's just not logical for a human to be able to headbutt you effectively from as far away as he consistently does. It' fine that it's really fast, just make the range that of an actual headbutt. I shouldn't feel like a Warlord can easily match the range of characters with longer weapons but that headbutt closes the gap almost immediately with little warning. he should work his way closer to those characters by blocking and parrying not dashing into people.

They literally say in the same clip that his win rate has being steadily going DOWN because people are learning how to fight him. Nowhere here are they saying Warlord is OP. All they are saying is that currently it takes too long to kill him because he can fall back on head butts to stall out and grind a fight down. So maybe YOU need to learn how to fight Warlord.

What's the verdict on the nerf? Is Warlord head butt a useable move or is it just worthless now? Is Warlord now a ****ty pre buff LB?

Useless? No.

Definately reduced usefullness. The headbutt is just gonna be that thing where if you get out of range your likely safe. Otherwise, it is now useless as a pressure tool. Warlord is now no longer a harasser.

You could already punish a Warlord by maintaining your distance. These nerfs do nothing to change that. From what you are saying, it seems like head butt is more or less not worth the risk, ie. goodbye Warlord since head butt was a majority of your damage. Warlord lights aren't quick enough to get through a good defense so a majority of your time is going to be spent parrying, like a pre buff LB.

Never said they did.

What it is, is like the wardens zone. It's something you throw in in order to rattle them. So.

And if you dodge it, I see very few people who get a good hit in to punish it. Mostly just lights.

As for not worth the risk, I just -beat- a LB, post buff with mine, so.

In 1v1 duel I might add. He just got a wee bit more balanced.

If the headbutt/stab combo was the majority of your damage, then sure this will effect you big time.

But I use it more like a mix up, so I don't see this effecting me all that much. But I still have to test it when I get home from work.
