I once thought highlander was in a pretty good position, but now i just can beat him with the 50/50 grab, dodge kick into an unblockable, and the overall damage he causes, in my opinion he is borderline op.

i agree

Did u even try to play Highlander sometime? How u even can tell highlander was in good position before buff? If u mean "dead on ground" was his good position, i agree...

Mate I play only duels and main Highlaner before patch (about 10 reputation) and it was rly pain.. Nowdays i have rep 13 with him and he is finaly playable. In not great with him, but can perform full offstance round with him.

But how u can tell je is OP when he have NO DEFENCE in offstance? And in defstance he is pretty useless cause have only like 1/3 of his moveset...

He should have some kind of Lawbringers shove with NO damage, NO guaranteed damage after but just push enemy away and fast flow to offstance. Maybe after this here is some space for some modification his kick feint to grab, but its counterable by: late dodge (GB punish), dodge attack (damage punish), light attack (damage punish).

If u wanna learn how to fight against Highlander or wanna learn his timing, im here, add me and play sometime. But dont say some bullpoos like this up. His offstance is great but have NO DEFENCE and FREE GB to everyone.

It's not a 50/50.
and there is a universal counter to his kick feinted into his caber toss.
walk backwards and stuff with light attack. It requires a little spacing. But not much.
every hero can do this.

And if he gets wise and just tries to let the kick fly and only the kick that can also be stuffed by a light.
But more importantly it's dodgable on reaction. For a majority of the cast. Kensei can just swift strike highlander regardless of what he does and wins every time.

i didnt main him, it may be fun to play him, but to face him... i play valk and now i cant even beat him... i mean 50+ damage heavy's is a little to much in my opinion.

remember this is my opinion

Ok, its ur opinion...

Truth is his max damage is deffensive stance top heavy with 45 damage (sides 35 damage). Offensive stance is 40 all guards. And about speed, first heavy is 1000ms (1 full second), 600ms in combo and 800ms in off stance.

And next point is he has only 125 HP. Its assasins like HP pool. And Highlander is hybrid heavy + vanguard if im correct.

the kick caber toss should get slowed down. some fighters just move 30 cm on a dodge

Believe me, every hero can dodge kick feint grab. If someone ask in fight, i can even learn him how and proove it. Its not depend od dodge distanc but correct timing. I know it can be dificult, but if some Highlander spam this, just backwhiff light and he get punish.
