As a Warden main I fell like getting punched in the ****. I cant spam lights so my chances to win is way lower than others. I understand lowering his dmg but with new stamina system i cant do **** with him. I loved to make enemy do mistake like fading sb but now fades costs so much stamina its not worth for me to do it. So to win I need to spam my sb and thats what I hate to do. I just cant force my enemy to do mistakes so i just wait for their attacks to maybe get parry. And heres where all my frustration came from. Its unreactable to parry light, in some cases even to turtle lighs. So im just standing there waiting for input I cant react to. This game shouldnt be focused on guessing, it should be based on reacting but ubi took it from me. And im sure im not the only one with this problem.
Btw making orochi lights slower from 400 ms to 500 ms in my eyes is stupid af because u made indicator appear 100ms late.
A really bad change about Warden is the REDUCED CRUSHING COUNTER DAMAGE TO 24 FROM 40. Crushing Counter is the only move Warden has over Warmonger but now it has been nerfed. WHY??? This is not a problem only for Warden, but for all the heroes who have a superior block or a deflect. Those moves are all about prediction and good timing so they will test your skills and previously they also awarded you with high damage if you manage to do them. Now they don't feel useful anymore (at least to me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one). These moves were very really good and satisfying because they awarded skill over mindless button smashing and light-spam. Devs, please make them strong and viable again!
Thanks for reading, have a nice day!
They ruined the game with the 100ms hidden indicator. Warden is the only vanguard without soft feints, light finishers, or hyper armor on attacks (not counting the charged bash as an attack as bashes don't do damage on their own). They also nerfed his top crushing counter damage to 24.

Still has the most safest bash and high heavy attack dmg.
The update didn’t change a thing about him being the best duelist in the game.
