Highlander is one of the characters you have to fight against a lot to get used to his moves.
Personally, i think he's great in 1v1 fights. I use him all the time in brawl and elimination and the only time i really get wrecked is when it's by someone who's genuinely a better player or if i get ganged.
also as someone said before, i don't remember ever seeing people complain about highlander before season 5. That just tells me the changes ubisoft made are good, cause now he's actually a bit of a challenge for people, especially those that turtle and wait for the celtic curse.
i'm not saying he's not a pain to deal with in a gank, i've had to deal with that a bit, but i feel like it's more of having to have it happen multiple times just so someone can get used to it, then maybe it won't be such an issue.
HL is slowly becoming my main the more i play, just because you actually have to think several moves ahead in every fight. A lot of the stuff i pull with him heavily depends on whether or not my opponent does exactly what i expect them to.
I've said the same about kensei a few times, as soon as he was the tiniest bit viable people suddenly found him a problem (and apparently found out for the first time that he has hyperarmour) Looking at the matrix given to us in the state of balance yesterday (39% in top 2% duels 45.8% among top 4.5% in dominion, bottom in both cases), Highlander was in desperate need of something.Originally Posted by seaners95 Go to original post
I don't main anyone any more, around playing whoever I feel like at the time now and again I plan to get everyone to rep 7, maybe 8 so I can get top gear with the event gear easily but 7 first certainly, he's on my list somewhere between finish the knights and finish what I started elsewhere (maybe start him with one or two others after the assassins).
