Warden Exploit | Forums

So for the past day or 2 there have been constant wardens using the newly found exploit, pretty much they will guard break you and do a top heavy that is undodgeable or blockable and one shots you through full revenge mode or normal full health, I would recommend locking warden until this gets fixed, ruins the game even if they are on your team.

I personally don't really mind the bug/exploit.

While I agree wholeheartedly that it needs to be disabled for competitive play and PVP, I see absolutely no harm in using it in PVE.

Unlike players, bots are actually really good at CGBs and, since this bug is completely reliant on being able to land a guard-break on an opponent, you're going to fail 70-95% of the time, with the opportunity to even land it at all on a Lv3 bot around 1%. I get it, people are running around in PVP playing like idiots. But I think this one-shot mechanic is actually an anti-idiot godsend to combat kill-stealers on the PVE spectrum. There's nothing more annoying than being engaged in a prolonged duel with a hyper defensive guard, parry, cgb bot that's just making killing it a pain in the *** for several minutes, only to finally get it down into the red, one of your teammates says "oh look, a flashing red enemy indicator!" and sprints to your location to spam attacks into the bot's back and reap the rewards of your hard work. On the flip side, there are few things more satisfying than seeing one of said as*holes dashing toward you madly for the steal and then depriving them of it before they get there, either through being able to get in that final blow or by a quick one-shot "no you don't".

Just wish there was something like this for all characters, only useable in PVE, and only activatable if an ally comes within 20m of where you're standing. Would definitely solve the problem of having to play 25 matches to get 10 honorable kills because every time you're trying to fight honorably some as*hole rushes in and turns your 1v1 into a 2v1

We've made an official statement regarding this in the official news and announcements forum. Unfortunately, the solution isn't as simple as locking down the Warden temporarily. While Warden has been the main focus of this exploit, it seems that it can be performed by a variety of heroes. Fortunately, we have a fix planned to go live as early as this Tuesday.
