Highlander is in an extremely strange spot, because if you consider him from a certain point of view, he is broken, but from an other one, he is extremely bad.


As pro: he has the highest punishes from parries and counters (30 damage on a light parry, 20 damage with a crushing counter). He has the least telegraphed light attacks in the game. He has hyperarmor on said light attack. He has an extremely strong out of stamina game with a very hardcore mixup damage-wise. He has relatively easy access to hyperarmor. He has very good feats. He has very big hitboxes for big damage (good team fighter).

As con: he is absolutely defenseless against bashes. He actually has assassin health. He has very hard time reentering offensive stance once he left. His main mixup can be rolled from. He sprints relatively slowly. He has a very bad neutral guardbreak punish (no execution on them, either only a light+mixup, or a zone for a bit more damage but a ton of stamina and no mixup). His offensive stance attacks are prone to optionselects and to enemies hitting them out. Bad repositioning. Probably one of the worst antigankers.

He is a bit out of the box, some crippling weaknesses compensate for some advantages that would be quite broken on any other heroes. He is not an integral building like most heroes where they are clearly tall or small, he is a tower and a pit. You can not take down bricks from the tower without getting dirt in the pit, and vice versa.

Highlander gives out a disadvantage on console!!!!!!

Highlander needs be check at.

The problems he has are mostly his lights. People are willing enough to spam his hyper armor lights and crush-counter over and over. It's so simple yet annoying. If Highlander is post to be that easy and I'm post counter that then I would rather stop playing the game until Highlander gets readjusted.

I think in order to solve this we can do this:

Increase health and Buff Zone attack

Make him have a little more longer recovery time after kicks, grabs, and unblockable attacks.

Make First light do 9dam and second do 12dam since people love to spam it.

No longer has hyperarmor on light chain attacks

Fix back lights and terrible animation

Last, lower all heavy damage to 25 since that is a bar worth of health or lower his crush-counter damage to 10dam since its spammable.

Ubisoft are you forgetting that Highlander is meant to be a normal hard hitter not a fast crush-counter light spammer. Why does have super fast lights with HA fix ittttttt pleaseeeee. Trust me I play Highlander and I have 46Reps with him and even I think hes OP on Console. I literally get more wins playing him then playing my main Gladiator. That's stupid!!!

I don't agree with anything you wrote it almost sounds like you hate this hero.

I guess you're playing on PS4, maybe you haven't noticed but technology moves on and the game is updated for new technology, you can't keep playing this game on old generation Consoles and expect Ubisoft to update your game on old generation technology. So I suggest you buy a PC or a last generation Console and stop complaining.
