There is this cool thing called dodging the bash.Originally Posted by DomusDominus Go to original post
Hi of all!
Following the changes introduced in the new For honor patch (which bring drastic changes on many characters, including Gladiator and Shugochi) I have had the opportunity to try these characters and I believe that the changes introduced are too severe.
While a very strong demonic hug was also easily dodged, now the move is only useful if the opponent is against a wall.
As for the Gladiator, a character that I have tested a lot, I think it is totally unusable in these conditions, I believe that the only changes to be made were:
1) limit the reduction of stamina following the punch
2) modify the bleed damage of the "impale" move.
Unfortunately, the gladiator does not have moves that do a lot of damage (even if they are very fast) and many of them are also easily blocked, besides being an assassin the gladiator already has little health.
I would propose alternatively:
1) to speed up the impale move even slightly (to make it more difficult to block).
2) to increase the damage of light attacks (in order to be more competitive after the changes made).
In conclusion I believe that the changes made make the character unplayable I hope you will take this and other feedback into consideration!
