He is practically impossible to fight cuz of his speed & glitchy animations. Seriously it makes the game unplayable.
Especially for the worst class, assassins. Outside of the reflex guard which G0D DAMNIT thats gotta go to static guard.... HL attacks just as fast & hits way harder with all kinds of hyperarmor.
He needs to be toned down cuz right niw hes OP as sh1t man. Wtf....
Like honestly, what youre saying is true.
I'm an Aramusha main, but I wanted to pick up a second main, so I started using highlander.
By the time I got to Rank 8 I was over it. You do not even have to try to roflstomp fools. Its the easiest hero to pick up and wreck with. He has something in his toolkit to wreck EVERYONE.
Part of the problem is that his strikes are far too fast for his own archetype. His light strikes need to be slowed by about 50ms. If they did that, he would be manageable. but for now you can light spam striker type heroes like assassin and vanguards, and if a tank allows you to get into stance, you can shut down half thier life and go back to light spamming and win.
The real killer in this game is hyperarmor. As long as Hyperarmor allows for momentum to be uninterupted when assassins used their dodge-block moves, then the game will be broken for all assassins.\
If a hero with a dodge-deflection as an ability, the attacking hero should be stopped cold for the use of the counter.
And that should be done now.
Highlander is, in truth, pretty OP and broken, and has been for a while.
Deflects should cancel hyper armor. Period.Originally Posted by Eidetik Go to original post
Highlander needs his chain light nerfed. It's pretty silly how fast it is combined with HA.
Hyper Armor is supposed to be used for well timed trades, not reactions.
Warlord is, and always has been, the best example of fair Hyper Armor. It isn't immediate. It takes a second to activate. You can't just press heavy in reaction to attacks and waltz through.
Highlander has fastest lights in compare to every Hero. If both Heroes start light attack at the same time, the Highlander will always hit first. With hyperarmor, unblockable, knockdown, deflects ... He can also perform heavy leaps in a row which make him to move faster than sprinting Hero, I am in wonder why Devs did not give hit also dodge attack. LOL
No, they hit the same time, all light openers are 500ms. Please, do not mistake your lack of game knowledge for real problems. He has problems, but having a 500ms light opener is not one of them.Originally Posted by HiTeHa Go to original post
I think HL is really strong with a more than a decent kit.The main problem I feel is that cancelling into gb wont work most of the times cause of his crushing counters but compared to what he was just after the ccu was implemented... his lights dmg has been reduced, the lights have also become slower. I think when fighting, most heroes can be approached in a similar manner, but that cant be done with him. U have to work harder. The hero that needs to be nerfed is kensei😁😁
Just Kensei's side dodge heavy. It's really the only thing making him cheap right now.Originally Posted by abhinandan991 Go to original post
Makes me sad because he was considered so balanced for so long and he's my main. Now, post ccu, he is an issue and I feel bad now for playing him...
Yes, if u want to gb him, u have to press the gb button before u can possibly know, he is going to do a side dodge heavy. Which makes no sense.Originally Posted by MrBdur Go to original post
And u just cant go into offense against him. And like conq's zone it feels like, now it is the ans to every move u throw at them. U have to bait it out, which makes it less fun after the 10th time in a dominion match
Yeah I've noticed it's become really easy to connect with Kensei since CCU. Side dodge heavy needs to have more vulnerability.Originally Posted by abhinandan991 Go to original post
