How to fix Warlord | Forums

[LordDoubleDare]

Honestly all I would really like to see is some sort of unblockable heavy and better stamina costs/management mainly in full block stance.

Did they confirm changes for WL in season 9, or did I dream that?

hi! i'm new with the WL but i like use this hero a lot!

i don't think he needs a massive rework. He has interessing tools like sup block on lights and armor on heavyes. I would like that:
-the guaranteed light after the headbutt could be followed by a heavy
-the attack (light/heavy) after the total block stance was unblockable, if the block is successfull
-the shield bash after the parry could lay to the ground the opponent, if it causes the total loss of his/her stamina

that would be a big buff in my opinion. what do you say?

Hey folks,

Just wanted to chime in and thank you all for this well constructed feedback. It's super great to see the ongoing discussion, and we are watching! I'll forward this on to the team, but in the meantime keep up the discourse, it's very helpful

Hello,

I play Warlord and I think the Full Block Stance (FBS) is very risky and does NOT reward you well enough after you block an attack.... There is only that Guaranteed Light attack that causes what? only 10 Damage? ...The warlord is a Harasser and should be able to punish after a successful block from FBS.

Like maybe increase the light attack damage after FBS from 10 to 20, OR add a chain attack to it for a total damage of 20.

It is risky to run in FBS, because u become Immobile, drain your stamina, open yourself to guard breaks, and not to mention that even in FBS, you cannot block unblockables. The Warlord is open to all these risks and if he counters successfully he does ONLY a pathetic 10 damage on his guaranteed light attack. This needs to change.

Please devs, make the FBS light counter attack more rewarding by buffing the damage up to 20, and add some more variety like the ability to Start a 'Crashing Charge' move while in FBS mode, by pressing the guard break button.

Thank you

Only thing I heard that was confirmed was a nerf to his crashing charge OOS punishes. Anything else is news to me

Freeze did a nice video about WL punishes. Take note of how weak (and cryptic) Full Block and Superior block is.

I just had another idea.

What if the Superior Block was renamed "Shield Deflect" and instead had an animation deflecting the incoming attack with the actual shield. I think this would reinforce the Warlords image as a Shield hero and make him feel more unique. It would work the same way as usual, there would just be new animations involving the shield.

his need more tool for counter attack why his only have counter shield

warlord need more tool for counter attack
