i feel the same about him and valkyrie. i like her the best and play her alot even if she is weaker than many other classes.
so I think highlander just needs a little bit of love to make him usable? Margins are very small in this game?
for example if i used that counterhit more often i would do way better..dunno

Really? Highlanders do their Bayblade move as I call it and that's hard enough to react because of obvious reasons. It's that flickering all over again. And after a combo you're just damn dead at least as assassin. You can't roll away in most cases because the range of those swords is like 3 meters or idfk. and you ask for a buff? I think he's pretty balanced. There are far worse things the devs should concentrate on right now. Let them first do the dedicated servers. Also Gear stats!. I you don't have good regen you probably geared wrong. I really detest highlander tbh. They are ok to handle but they are really ugly and I don't like those big swords.

he has actually quite a good kit but its not easy to use.
all direction chrushing counter is damn good.
hyper on every heavy is also damn good.
easy access to unblockables is a 4v4 saver.
and despite what people say he has actually many fast attacks. his of lights are just not used enough because people struggle with the buttons.
and his celtic curse mix up has even dodge frames and is a 600 ms heavy attack wich is on the fast side of heavys.

That move can be dodged, blocked and parried. If you're struggling against it, you just gotta practice your best way to react to it, because it's actually a pretty mediocre move. A lot of PC Highlanders actually say it's unviable because they get parried too often.Originally Posted by Touryus Go to original post
The Highlander's combos, while they can do good damage, are all very slow and can also be dodged, blocked and parried.
Keep in mind that the Highlander has the same health as most of the Assassins as well.
People have been saying the Highlander needs some love since the day he launched, but even now, he's virtually in the exact same state as he was when he launched, which is at best, mediocre. Hero balancing, and dedicated servers also don't really affect each other, as I'm pretty sure they have seperate teams dedicated to each task.
They're handsomly rugged.I really detest highlander tbh. They are ok to handle but they are really ugly and I don't like those big swords.
Yes! It's difficult to pull of consistently, but it's a great life saver and combo breaker.Originally Posted by SenBotsu893 Go to original post
Yes, but the hyper armor activates really, really late into the heavy attack, leaving you vulnurable for longer.hyper on every heavy is also damn good.
It has its moments, but you still get knocked out of Offensive Stance too easily, so in 4v4 you're damn near cursed to staying in defensive.easy access to unblockables is a 4v4 saver.
His lights, while one of the fastests moves in the game, is also one of the worst. It consumes too much stamina, and does very little damage.and despite what people say he has actually many fast attacks. his of lights are just not used enough because people struggle with the buttons.

Celtic Curse is a decent move true, but like I mentioned before, it can be dodged, blocked and parried.

Yea prolly highlander is just another a little better designed champ than centurion making only few moves viable (I am glad that he can slice noob assassin's) and you need to really work hard with him cause prolly he is useless until you put some real gear on him. In duels I think he is ok. But still poorly designed champ with little to none testing behind and oh yes he is my favourite floor-slider.
