Hello all,
Since The Highlander was released i feel a little bit disappointed. I feel he is underpowered in comparison to Gladiator. Regarding gladiator there must be nerf for his zone. It`s ridiculous.
Please consider the below suggestions for Highlander:
1) Fix his GB please. The range is too short. I believe it`s a bug.
2) After GB his throw is one of the worst in the game. He`s big guy for Christ sake. Give him more powerful throw with more throwing range.
3) After GB of course he needs to get free side heavy (i know it was not mentioned and it`s going to be fixed anyway but worth to mention)
4) I don`t mind he`s that slow character but at least give him more DMG! I would suggest give him 50 for top heavy and 40 for side heavy in defensive stance. For unblockable it`s reasonable to give him 40 for top and 35 for side at least. I know he gets free unblockable after kick but this kick is so ****ing slow. Take Spamturion for instance. He`s kick is faster a lot. So with that speed of Highlander`s kick give more dmg for unblockable.
5) Give him more HP! He has only 125 which is ****ing low as per that big guy!
6) The last one is his weak zone. It`s useless. Please give him uninteraptable second and third hit and for sprint attack give him second uninteraptable hit. This will be something as as of now, he`s so slow that he`s always being stopped.
I believe that`s all from me.

Although I do disagree with you on a few of these points simply because it would be a bit much, I do agree completely with most of the others.
As soon as people get used to the timing and parrying of Celtic Curse, a lot of people will probably believe Highlander is underpowered and needs some kind of buff. However, those particular people probably aren't playing him correctly if they rely so heavily on that move.
His damage numbers seem lackluster for how slow and telegraphed most of his moves are. Celtic Curse can stay at its current damage because it's his fastest move, but I agree that his heavies need to do more damage.
His zone attack could use hyper armor, as it would help in teamfights a lot. However, that would probably encourage zone spamming and would not be good for the health of the game.
Giving hyper armor on grab would be a mistake because then you could go into offensive stance, and when an opponent tries to hit you out of the stance, you use grab and get free damage. It wouldn't really make sense. If you're with a few friends in a teamfight, you can coordinate to have nobody hit your target until he's on the ground. After that, you all get a free heavy which pretty much means instant death for him.
Increased guard break range is a must, but you can currently circumvent the problem by unlocking after a parry (the only real time you should be guard breaking as this guy). It might have been unintended for the Highlander's guard break range to be so pitifully short, but this "exploit" is just a means of being fair with the rest of the cast.
Giving him more hp would be nice, as he has nearly the exact same hp as gladiator (which is surprisingly high for an assassin and surprisingly low for someone designed around trading damage). He could use a bit of a buff, not much, but maybe 15 points of hp makes a lot of difference sometimes.

This is all wrong. First off, a trident is much longer than a claymore. Secondly, the tracking on highlander seems impossible to dodge. His strikes? He almost kills you in two of them. Plus he's got that lame earned abillity to kill a full health hero with it; no one else seems to. Completely disagree with your post man- highlander needs a sposorship from NERF immediately!

verifun... It`s ******** what you just wrote. I believe it`s meant to be provocation. Thus i don`t care too much. I would just to say that you have to be a massively big noob then. Of course 2 hits are enough to kill you but under condition that after the second you will jump off the ledge and kill yourself.
StrelecDon`t be ironic man. RLTygurr thought you are serious
Notorious. You are right. Highlander is underpowered and i agree with most of your suggestions. I would add some from me:
- fixing guard change speed as it`s slower that others regardless UBI has made this equal for every hero. I assume it`s bug then.
- Definitely giving him more HP. 150 would be nice, maybe 160
- Give him more stamina or lower stamina drain on his attacks/moves as it`s a must for here that is meant to trade his attacks.
RLTygurr. Notorious mentioned about uninterraptable for zone but i assume he meant to be uninterraptable from first hit. I agree that`s good idea. Now his zone is so ****ing slow and useless...
Summarizing. Highlander is now a few days only and people learnt his moves so with his slow attacks he`s ridiculous. BTW i main Raider from the beginning and from the beginning i was fighting for buff for him. Now some people says he`s overpowered. I`d say that only his stampage charge is to be fixed and he`ll be ok (not in top tier though).
I mentioned about raider so it`s off-topic however now i`m thinking about maining Highlander but i have feeling that he`s weaker than Raider without buff at the beginings...
He`s slower thus more predictible and this dmg that he has is funny.
Cheers fellows, no offence mentioned!

highlander should be on other heroes level. worst hero yet and here's why:
he has some good moves and mixups but.
useless hyper armor since you can't intentionally make use of it with it's late appearance in the move) + slow as f moves + slow cancels + low health + high stamina drain + low stamina (for such a big guy wielding such a huge sword with confidence in batyle I don't thing he's that weak...) makes him the weakest hero in the game.
his stamina drain is broken
1. since 3 moves of a combo brings you one move from being exhausted
2. canceling a move takes stamina, adding to 1. s problem
so asof no. he actually needs a reward if not even a buff...
