I was playing the rework for a little bit and the kick feint felt a little awkward to me as well. If you're trying to bait out a dodge attack and parry or go to a guard break, you have to basically feint the kick and release heavy at the same time to cancel straight to defensive stance. If you release the heavy just a little late, it will throw out a defensive stance heavy. I will say I'm disappointed about the removal of wave dashing and the slow down of the dodge to kick. It feels like they removed a lot of his offensive stance mobility which was always something that set apart really good highlanders. And not sure if it's just me, but it felt like canceling from offensive stance to a parry was slower. Other than that, I do think they made some nice additions to the character.

[@Mulisious]

This guy gets it

[@guayayonga655]

Conclusion: hl needs at least the side dodge kick and wavedash,beside that its a great rework

[@gavinwatschke9179]

I agree 100%. The rework kinda made Highlander either a full on offensive type or a hardcore defensive type. With the wave dash you could do both at the same time and make have the enemy guess if a kick was coming or if he was waiting for an attack to slip through and kick punish. Sadly wavedashing was one of his most unique traits that made me play the character. Hopefully the wavedashing returns along with the dodge kick as the damage has been reduced which should balance it out.

[@PwnLinked]

I wonder what it would be like if they made the grab from the kick to grab, undodgeable.

[@wakingsnail3242]

Nice to see you back bro ❤️

[@Mulisious]

Happy to be back ❤️

[@press1forenglish702]

Don't leave again fam!! I'll pay 😂😂😂😂

[@ToughToughBlast]

The armored zone and feintable kick just make him too similar to Jorm or Ocelotl because they literally just got the same treatment.

[@thequioryan13]

I feel like they want highlander to punish all attacks from offensive stance with the new dodge attack. Since they slowed down both the dodge kick and light. Idk how to feel about this yet lol

[@crobeau497]

the Highlander rework makes him feel so clunky. I wish wavedashing was back, as well as the kick after dodge. I feel like those two things would help bring back that feeling of "flow" that he has.

[@zdenekbywaj3005]

Yeah, those two things, great point.

[@cdizzy35]

As a fellow max rep highlander I have to disagree on most of the takes here. Yes, he is more offense based, but the kick feint is a very strong mixup tool, the new dodge attack feels good, and Im having way more consistent fun with it than I've had with the live game version for a while now

[@Mulisious]

That’s nice, it’s grown on me slightly more since this day one impression. The kick feint would be amazing if you could cancel it into neutral without randomly swinging a heavy and the OS dodge while working as intended makes empty Dodge into OS heavy more inconsistent

[@hilburnlayton]

@@MulisiousI posted earlier but you may just need to clean up your inputs. Release heavy before you input the feint but after the kick input. It’s just a new muscle memory.

[@tgl9665]

I noticed something as well so im guessing all highlanders know when doing offensive lights its sometimes kicks u out of offensive well after an offensive light u try to kick it won't come out you'll just stand their staring

[@cooper1321]

tbf I find highlanders struggling against CC less to be issue of his rework and more of crushing counters being a ridiculously strong defense mechanic. forbid you're allowed to throw a heavy into feint. It makes heroes like Nobu, LB, and Aramusha (to name a few) a struggle. Don't get me started with warlord's enhanced lights having that property as well

[@garcgu9571]

Idk if you saw but you can hard feint the dodge forward heavy in test

[@ronanmcconnell6788]

Feel like he needs more but he is fun to play you can like dodge attack and cancel your recovery by going into your second stance and dodge attack again it’s like your tiandi 😂

[@alexdoyle5601]

Hey Bro, it was an honor playing against you! Big Fan! P_P_A_D_3.

[@Mulisious]

Ggs bro!

[@gigachad4306]

You cant imagine how much i wanted to see your reaction to this🔥

[@jay-lv3ww]

You can dodge attack in the stance btw

[@abdielcanales5656]

HL is my only rep 70. I’ve been waiting for this rework for a long time and I got to say I like it. He’s more playable now at higher levels but they took too much away from him if they just give him some of his stuff back and fix a few bugs, it’ll be perfect for me

[@DjJayDizzle1]

Thank god I’m not the only one who’s not with the whole side dodges being longer and wavedashing not being as quick. It slows down offense stance lights being used and kick takes to long to take out because you have to wait for the dodge recovery to end.

[@hilburnlayton]

You’re meant to do the dodge attack now

[@DjJayDizzle1]

@@hilburnlayton yes but such easy bait.

[@samtheman6901]

THE REACH!! 👁️👄👁️ 6:12

[@hilburnlayton]

The reason you’re getting the heavy is you have to release heavy after the kick but before the feint.

[@A4QSL]

This new rework is going to be top tier

[@deadlunatik3405]

Lmao some people don’t understand the point of testing grounds😂.

[@zdenekbywaj3005]

Yeah, looks like it, its about to try it out and give your feedback.

[@oIRydahKCIo]

They just need to clean up his recoveries. That PK should not be able to recover from a light parry fast enough to not be punished. Also it might just be me and my controller but with TG Highlander, i can't consistently switch sides with offensive lights the same way i do with current Highlander. I always end up throwing an unblockable when i switch sides. On another note: TG Medjay feels amazingly smooth

[@tarnishedsouls7976]

All they needed to do was give him HEAVY ON GB and KICK CANCEL. No idea why they removed the side step into kick, and slowed the wave dash. He feels clunky and slow af

[@xLordxMarsx]

You can dodge attack in offensive form.

[@xLordxMarsx]

There were plenty of moments were you could use this.

[@seanmcdonald303]

Despise Afeera. The ultimate pay to win character, even worse than Pirate.

[@majinyaze]

That’s why I stopped playing after getting my Highland and Kensei rep 70. Mix ups?! lol just light or dodge attack

[@a_mega_pint1792]

kick cancel is simply the fancy new tool they randomly slap on every hero since the shaolin rework.. Doesnt mean it does alot or has any deeper meaning sadly :( it felt bad and useless to me too. As you said. Most of the rework is just too slow and you get slapped by a light. You dont even need to read.

[@Shroomite_Dealer]

do you only play duels? genuine question not trynna talk shit

[@oIRydahKCIo]

He plays dominion too
