Lawbringers impale 1dmg and warmongers impale still same damage? | Forums

Thats actually so unfair, why does lawbringer got nerfed and not warmonger?

I would change the impale to 5dmg instead of 1

Not to be offensive or anything, but seems like the dev team is fanboys/girls of warmonger

My guess.

Warmonger on wall splat always the bleed move.

Lawbringer gets a heavy in to light and is imminently at his unblockable.

So technically Lawbringer has higher pressure plus his impale is also usable as a running attack.

Guess you have a point, but its not fun to impale anymore

I think they have similar damage with a wall. Lawbringer has better range and I assume smaller stamina cost than before. Neither punish is optimal with no walls.

Also, Warmonger resets the fight. The mixup after the top heavy's blind on Lawbringer's part is completely unreactable, it can be a shove, a very fast light, or a heavy that catches the dodge. All of them chain into the unblockable.

Lawbringer is still more than fine. If we only check them as duelists, they are roughly equal (hard to tell, half of the Lawbringer mains left the hero when he became balanced, you don't see many of them nowdays).
