Highlander fixes to make him almost perfect | Forums

He definitely needs something done.

Personally I'd rather have a little more speed.

There is almost no point in having crushing counter on him, since you cant react with it.

Being able to react with it would fix most of his problems.

As of now, he just gets eaten alive in duels.

Which I am willing to place money on, that anyone here who is against a speed increase, avoids like the plague.

If you are beaten in a duel by a highlander, he is not just a little better than you, he must be amazing compared to you.

Hi there, I agree with "he have to get something". Rep 13 highlander here and I see him pretty good against "normal and slower" heroes. But assasins and conq, he is pretty weak. Every aggressive fast hero dont let u to go to Offensive stance which is core for Highlander.

So sugestion:
- Deffensive opener with fastflow to offensive stance
Just rework his off stance emote animation to 1 handed push enemy away. No damage, maybe little stamina damage, no guaranteed damage, just fast push enemy away with fastflow to off stance.

Thats it.

Faster lights and better dodge recoveries, and HL would go from garbage to B or even A -tier.

I do not agree with fastering game anymore... there is tons of spam moves. If everyone have 400ms like lights, no else will be usable.

Slow heroes are fine, if they have some other oportunity.

Woah, this is definitely an older thread.

I appreciate you all for reviving discussion on Highlander and for discussing feedback on him, but let's move this over to a new thread so people don't get confused reading the previous posts about pre-rework Highlander.
