Warden is love. Warden is life.
I got her to rep 50 recently, now there's no point doing orders with her...I feel hollow inside.
Stylistically Warden will always be my favourite, she looks awesome, and that noble attitude is a very underappreciated trait. The gameplay has suffered since all the updates and DLC, but I still find her viable. No other hero has an ability that rewards you so completely for reading your opponent. 50/50? Mate, if it was 50/50, I'd lose half the time. I know exactly what I want, because I'm pretty sure I know what you want. Good example is character's with side dash, it's so rewarding to download their tendencies then punish them. Feint the bash then parry, I know they won't do that again, so next time they'll just dodge which will give me the soft cancel into guardbreak. And there's that little bit you can do to switch to top stance before you soft cancel, makes the top heavy come out instantly. Looks bada$$ when you get that top heavy on a wallsplat.
Her executions, for the most part, are a cut above the rest, insofar as my tastes. A Moment of Silence in particular is superb. I love using that one after r3ck1ng other Wardens. She's probably got the coolest decapitation too (Spinning decap), and has that little bit where she stares in their eyes before tumbling by to take their head. Sort of like Taking Out The Trash. Warden's make it personal with some of them.
Also, Jennifer Hale.
I have 10+ reps in a few other characters though. I suppose my "2nd main", there's a paradox for ya, would be Lawbringer. But I also play a bunch amount of Raider and Shugoki. Nobushi following a bit behind and then...nothing, really. Not consistently at least. I'd love to pick up Valkyrie but in her current state I may as well light parry my self. Hopefully her update makes it rain.
Orochi rep 30 since the Beta release of this game.. and trust me its not easy to play a Most critized Hero especially if its getting changed constantly , adapting all over again can make you feel frustrated.
he has been nerfed,weakened, ignored we Orochi mains suffered alot. with the new rework i dont really see a huuuge improvement , he is B tier now.
Warlord since beta. He still has the most complete kit that doesn't rely on gimmicks in my opinion. I honestly don't think he needs a complete rework and I'm terrified when they do. A simple numbers pass and maybe a few QOL changes would be nice but the warlord is easily my favorite.
Imagine the warlord's reaction to a teleporting kung fu monk. That's how I feel about the new faction. They can dance around all they want, leave the serious fighting to serious heroes.
