As one of the player community of For Honor game, i have a request from developers. But first i want to tell you about my matches and playing experience in this awesome game:
*i beating with any other Heroes as a Highlander* Hero A light attacks on me, i parry his light attack and can't even being able to hit him heavy attack or kick(may i have to explain that, after parrying a light attack you will be able to hit your enemy with a guarenteed heavy hit, this works on all other heroes that i tried but not in Highlander, it doesn't). So i request you to fix this issue, i think Highlander must be able to even a kick after parrying light attack.
I already mailed this problem to ubi support. I just wanted to tell to player community. I hope developers will fix this issue.

After rework, no you can't. You can just being able to hit with a light attack after parrying a light attack with Highlander... If a Raider Parries your light attack it will cost you 45 points of your health, but if a Highlander parries your light attack it will just cost you 15 points of your health and this is underrated...

hmm I wonder. Since the Highlander rework (which was just officially a buff/adjustment, not a rework), how many posts are there exactly about this unbalance of punishes for Highlander?.. what? None? Hmmm I wonder what this means?
Maybe dude you should reflect on what you write as something that could be wrong if you are basically the only one. Geez there are so many guides out there for punishes and yet you go the forums and demand for reworks. Would have been much faster to just use google search.
Balor's Might is always guaranteed.
And btw you are also wrong on the Raider. On a light parry the top heavy is NOT guaranteed. Congratulations.

Thank you guys all for your answering. I see the mistake i was releasing R2\RMOUSE after a parry and quickly switch offensive mod and try to hit with a kick but my opponent was always dodging. Then i learn that i musn't release R2\RMOUSE after parrying and kick him while i was parrying his sword back. i hope this thread will helpful for Highlanders that they can't kick their opponent after parry.

On assassins you can even get the def. stance top heavy for 45 dmg. Is a bit tricky since it must be prebuffered with guard swap to work. Parrying in top stance works almost every time. With normal guard heroes it is also possible to get it prebuffered, but not if the parry was top guard. There the block recovers too soon unlike when it was on the other sides since you still have the 100 ms guard swap to top and that makes it possible.
safest and most reliable option however is always balor's might and btw i am pretty sure kick and grab are also pretty guaranteed on a a light parry.

Balor's Might is guaranteed off ANY light parry. Kick is guaranteed on light parries as well.
Depending on the character and what attack they throw, sometimes your kick is guaranteed off a heavy parry, so foregoing the guaranteed light attack on a heavy parry can occasionally allow you to catch someone with the kick or kick/grab combo or bait a dodge attack with a feinted offensive heavy off a heavy parry. There's a ton of options for mixups into high damage, you just need to play around with it and do some crazy stuff that most people won't do.
Most of his offense is baits into light parries or dodging in offensive stance into kick for the guaranteed 40-45 damage. Other than that, just go to town with offensive stance. People fear it, and they should.
