    Warlord still kinda feels like trash

    The reason I say that is because of the way his headset works compared to all the other heavies bash moves. Jormungander and vortiger remain mostly un-punishable for a bash that they can infinitely loop but then warlord gets wrecked for doing a 2 move combo.

    I think he needs faster recovery on his headbutt

    It took this long just to make his counter-poke off his block to be guaranteed, I wouldn't expect anything else 🤣

    Some wide spreading feedback after his slight buff was that it wasn't quite enough... I appreciate the echoed sentiment and the specific suggestion.

    True but he has been receiving attention every update so far this year so who knows. Maybe the drop another 100-200ms off the head butt in 2020.

    Just picked up Warlord after playing nothing but assassins and in my opinion... he's a beast. He has a counter to just about everything and I love how his hyperarmor works. I think the major issue is that Jorms and Vortigers and any bash hero's for that point should be punishable for spamming bashes. I think every bash in the game should be punishable if you make the right read.

    My point is that he doesn't deserve to have more recovery on crappier moves in comparison to those heavies.

    Warlord is not bad at all in Dominion. It's Duels where he's mediocre.

    His full block still needs work and his crashing charge mix up should be doable while locked on in some fashion. Also giving him better flow into full block via canceling attack recoveries would be good for him.

    His headbutt is fine though. Was buffed not too long ago that you can't easily early dodge it and if you do manage that you don't get a GB now. And due to the buffs he's gotten recently with faster recoveries on hits or blocks he has frame advantage for headbutt. Meaning not punishable IIRC.
