[SirRegisKeg]

hell its about time

Discussion Ended

Well I tried ... I'm a rep 3 Highlander, I've dished out alot of 3-0 matches hope people can't complain when they buff and I stomp the life out of your rep 27 warden

Another issue he seems to be having that I don't see a lot of talk about: his dodge recovery.

It seems he can't followup a dodged Warlords Headbutt or Warden raw shoulder (among other unsafe moves) with a guaranteed guardbreak.
All other heroes can guardbreak in time after a well executed dodge on these unsafe moves, yet Highlander can't.

According to this community, every hero should be the same.

I don't know why you try, Ubi. Just relauch the same heroes with different cosmectic moves which are, in fact, the same.

are you talking offensive form or defensive? because his dodge recovery in offensive is actually quite good.

you are arguing for the sake for arguing with me .

even the pro which are better and more understanding than you and myself admit that she is crap tier and can't be played at high level without her unlock tech
yet u still arguing thinking if they make her stronger she will be op :/

are you a bushi or samurai faction hater or you like to argue for the sake of it

As someone else who follows the pros they do flip flop a lot on their opinion.
Bushi is considered god tier outside of duel by pros (not considering her unlock tech)
and i've also heard at least 1 pro saying that if the defensive meta was fixed she'd be proper strong.
IMO the only buff I feel she needs is her hidden stance costing a bit less stamina. Baring that her kit is actually really good.
She's just extremely screwed by that stamina cost and that her lights are super parryable (since light parry punishes are crazy at the moment.)

Of the samurai in the game she probably needs the least amount of tweaks. Right next to kensei. Orochi and shugoki are the only 2 samurai in dire need of massive changes. the other 3 will be miles better off post defensive meta fixes and only need minor tweaks to begin with.

while i respect your opinion , but i dont give a damn about anything outside duels
to me 1v1 is where the balance is

1v1 Bushi is screwed , first for the reason u stated hidden stance cost a ton of stamina and stops stamina regeneration , second her light attacks are telegraphed and super easy to parry

while the defensive meta can fix bushi's bad weakness , but the question who is willing to wait until season 4 ?

i'am not

That spin move range is waaaaay to long....its way to fast and the distance is to long by far....slow it down and lessen how far you travel....also some tracking is similar to cents....heatseeking...

[mrmistark]

You know what? The more and more I play him the more and more convince I am that he is completely balanced. I play on Xbox so before everyone starts getting crazy Xbox is very difficult to parry lights so his lights are pretty ok. I also main kensei, so I'm used to playing what is considered "low tier". Once you get his range down and realize his ub heavies can chain, his kick has crazy distance, and his hyper armor is pretty good he's actually really strong. hes just incredibly bad against centurion because the ridiculous stamina drain, shugoki because he doesn't have anything to deal with him: both trade, both have great range, except shugoki has a stamina draining quick headbut that stuns. So it's literally your defensive mode against his kit because offensive has literally nothing that can handle his armor: grab and kick do nothing, ub is easily interrupted, and lights aren't fast enough to double tap him before a hit. You can use gb to get rid of the armor which is the only viable option to beating him, which you don't even get the heavy for and lastly bad against pk. Pk switches too quickly and attacks too fast which doesn't give him any momentum needed to put in some damage.

SUMMARY: he is balanced against MOST of the roster, all he needs is a guaranteed heavy after gb, better gb range and less stamina drain against kicks, head butts, shoulder bashes etc. and I say this because personally I feel his stamina usage is perfect, just not with these in the equation, that or better natural exhaustion recovery? This in mind, again from an XBOX standpoint of course, would make him perfect in all honesty. I've been playing with him nonstop since release.

Edit* also better hits on minions should follow the logic of the swing and give better window to feint the second swing of his zone (cause I do it the same timing as when I cancel the first one and it drains the rest of my stamina, anyone else having this issue btw? I haven't been able to get it once)

Edit again* also ub grab defiantly needs to track dodges for him to be at all viable

I don't care for anything outside of duels really either. But the devs can't ignore that. So like it or not we have to give them time to make the right fix.
i'm deff sticking around to season 4 and beyond.

I really wanted to play Highlander, And when he finally tested it, it turned out to be the weakest hero in the game. I was very upset. Developers, you yourself even tried to fight the Highlander and centurion. In my opinion, the misbalance is also not fair :Сумасшедший::Сумасшедший::Сумасшедший:

sorry for my English
