Warlord nerf = valkyrie nerf after game launch | Forums

Idk... I never really had an issue with warlord. Unless they push me off something. The funny thing is they don't wanna nerf cent but they'll need warlord who nobody even complains about

Thats because cent is a noob stomper so of course more people are going to complain about him. The truth is warlord was a far better character, which is backed by his ridiculous record in high level play.

Is there a new patch? I don't see anything.

Why instead of nerfing Warlord don't they endeavor to bring all the characters up to his level? Just use him and the Gladiator as the measuring stick and try to get every character close to those two in terms of effectiveness. A good start would be to give all the left behind characters a solid opener such as a kick or a push or a lunge grab respectively so that all characters have an equally usable way to force a reaction.

Maybe they really like where the mid tier characters are at and woukd prefer everyone at THAT level. Maybe I'm just an idiot who doesn't understand, which is entirety possible, but these nerfs seem more in line with making warlord a mid, not garbage. It FEELS like garbage compared to the warlord we're used to.

But WHAT ARE YOU GUYS Talking about? where are these rumors of new nerfs and buffs coming from? I don't see anything officially posted.

It was on the warriors den they had at pax. The notes were in the reddit link. Looks like nothing official but the guy who posted it is a moderator and pretty well known in the competitive scene. Wouldn't make sense for him to just make it up.

WL needed a pat with the nerf bat, but this is just ridiculous.

I'm happy though, because this probably means we are getting a similar Centurion nerf. There is no way Centurion can be top dog like this, for so long, and nothing happens. Now it is even more clear he is the number one hero.

Hahahaha.

They took Warlord from the top rope. Down goes Frazier. Who will take his throne now? The first nerf with cgb in full block made sense. It went downhill quick from there. I hope they go overboard like this when they finally buff Shugoki.

Lol, that's it, you guys cry "warlord OP" all over the place and that's what happens ^^ GG

Huge nerfs for an "OP" Hero, that's exactly all you guys complained about.

- dodge recovery was to fast
- headbutt OP (even if it was fine befor)
- Full block stance OP (the only nerfs, which are justified)
- "insanse side speed light for a heavy class"

He won't be that bad, people are always overreacting if nerfs incoming, especially to their mains (in this case, the one who was called OverPoWeRed)
But i can't deny that those nerfs are abit over the top, because the hit him all around.

We have seen what a Centurion can do to pros in the latest tournament. So claiming Centurion is a noob stomper is plain wrong. He stomps pretty much anyone.
