    GLADIATOR needs work!!!

    I know the gladiator isn’t a popular character in the game but he is still used! His block
    Is way to short, due to that It also feels almost bugged on blocked where they arnt registering....anyways, I’m obsessed with this game and I love everything you guys are doing and are Continuing to do! Hopefully this problem is fixed soon and fingers crossed on a re work for him too lol!

    Yes, he could use some tweaking. He essentially has good kit, but is kind of unsafe to play. If his reflex guard was increased a bit, and he didn't have long recovery frames on blocked dodge attacks, I think he would move up in the duel matrix quite a bit.

    Yes, sure. But I'm not talking about cheese here.

    Sadly each hero is as strong as his best abusable tool. His zone is way too good a tool and is often used a crotch once a glad starts losing.

    Not hating the hero, I have rep 9 glad and quite like him, but his zone is just too good.

    Most frustrating about playing Glad is free GB on blocking dodge/jump attacks even when it’s so obvious and heavy punish on parry. I think only he suffers from it. And obviously nearly non existent block

    I just started using Glad and am almost rep 3, I really enjoy playing this character. Im ok with the play, although the only thing about it is it feels like a Vanguard and not an Assassin. But that's just me. Also It would be nice to cosmetically change the helmet a bit more, maybe you get better looking ones later on but I would like to change it like you can on Warden. Also jazz up the weapon maybe? I want my Glad looking sharp while piling up a body count.

    If the glad got a rework before my WL I'm gonna blow my stack.

    Between his exploitable undodgable toe stab against static guard heroes and his zone (arguably best move in the game) not to mention his plethora of other unblockables, if anything he needs a spanking with the nerf stick and that anyone could come on the forums and sincerely request he gets buffed is absolutely baffling to me.

    Yes, his zone is obnoxious. It doesn't make him a great hero though. The best way to treat his rework would be to nerf the zone, maybe make it non cancellable, but buff other things, like his reflex guard timer and make his dodge attacks safer to perform.
