Fix the Highlander! | Forums

He is faster than Warden and he has a more bigger and powerful weapon with unblockables! He is op. He should be heavier and slower so come on. (and I am referring to those twists... of course)

This character in the game is unreal, unrealistic and almost fantasy.

I think for most players the highlander is pretty fine. He is just slow enough to have a quite some trouble with ganks or against aggressive /interruptive plays if you catch him on the wrong foot. Warden is more mobile and reactive than Highlander (and is also about to get a rework btw). The only issue that should/might be looked at is his kick-caber toss mixup which is for most players a bit too difficult to deal with.

Highlander's speed is ok. Most people can reliably parry the celtic curse mix up ("those twists") without any issues. Any slowdown here would make his moves obsolete. Since it is already boarderline that way he got his celtic curse cancel into OS so that you would be able to still use celtic curse against players who parry it reliably.

His chained top heavy is 600ms fast and does 45 damage. Centurion's heavies are 600ms fast and do 25 damage. This is the current state of balance in For Honor.

Keep in mind that chained heavies rarely hit anyone, and can almost never be used unless you throw someone into a wall.

Centurion's heavies 1) Can't be gb'd unless he charges it a good bit, 2) can have the timing changed at will, 3) can soft feint into a gb, and 4) can be used on ANY parry, heavy or light.

Highlander only gets a light (and sometimes a kick into offensive heavy) off heavy parries, and only gets an offensive heavy off a light parry. If Centurion uses his parry counter and it wallsplats you, he can do 65 damage to you and pretty much drain your stamina to zero.

Don't say Highlander is OP when he only has a few strengths. Being able to use a lower damage move consistently and constantly is mathematically superior to being able to do a higher damage less consistently.

On top of this, his kick-grab combo is completely negated by anyone with dodge attacks, making him extremely weak against assassins, which comprises roughly 1/3 of the character types. The Wu Lin (Chinese) faction that is coming out in a few months will all be extremely strong against him as well, making him significantly weaker in comparison overall.

To be fair, you are comparing two completely different things. A basic heavy to a chained heavy. Chained heavies never land anyways.

Highlander basic heavies are 1000ms. Cent 600ms. Cent chained from the side are 500ms. Highlander 600ms.

He has 600ms fast chained heavies with hyperarmor which deal 40-45 dmg. Might be two different things but I was referring to the balance in this game. He has privileges which other heroes don't have. Yes, it makes him unique but also unfair.

"He has privileges which other heroes don't have". Sooooooo you're saying literally everyone should have the exact same tools available to them? Then there would be no point to play one character over another. Having different privileges and tools is what makes them unique.
