I wanted to get an idea about the level of the Warden do you think is S tier?
In my opinion since Ubisof released the CCU Patch with all the nerfs he has suffered is no longer S tier.
In my opinion, people consider him S tier because before all the nerfs he was definitely strong as a hero, and people were impressed with the idea that the Warden remained S tier.
Warden is the only Vanguard without soft feints, he has 0 hyper-armour to heavy attacks or Light Finishers and the Warden is very weak when it comes to stamina is drained the fastest and has barely 1 or 2 mix ups, what's more the "Crushing Counterstrike" no longer damages as a heavy attack.
Warden's "Zone attack" consumes too much stamina (60 stm) for only 13 dmg, which is totally useless to chain it in a combo because you find yourself breathless and for this you are punished by suffering a lot of damage.
The Warden's "Chained Side Light" remained at 600 ms, I don't understand why the developers didn't standardize it at 500 ms like all the other heroes, this attack at this speed is totally useless as people parry it and punish you with a top heavy attack.
Warden "Double Light" doing the sum of the damage and the consumption of stamina you have this result: 15 dmg 15 stm (conclusion consumes more stamina than a heavy attack and it damages less than a heavy attack, in my opinion it would have been more right to bring the consumption of stamina at the level of a heavy attack: 15 dmg 12 stm) (This problem also affects the Shinobi, with its "Double Light": 16 dmg 15 stm, the consumption of stamina for this attack must be adjusted to 12 stm)
I've heard people say that also his backdodge into SB is hands down one of if not the best defensive tools in the game, if not the best.
I would answer to these people with "Ad Profundis".
I personally can beat him most of the time in Dominion.
In duel it is decent but in other game modes like for example Dominion is weak in my opinion.
Anyway this is just my opinion I was asking out of curiosity, because I have heard of people who still give it an S tier but I think they are wrong, before all these nerfs it was definitely S tier, but now I am not sure anymore.
My valuation of the Warden is this:
Duel: Level A+
Dominion : Level C
Breach: Level C
