My Honest Thoughts on Highlanders Testing Grounds

[@tarnishedsouls7976]

I hate the dodge attack from offensive stance. Everytime I wanna dodge and punish with an unblockable, my character does the dodge attack and it pisses me off 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Mulisious]

Yep, buffering the move with this version of Highlander is impossible. Plus with his slower dodges it just feels miserable

[@tarnishedsouls7976]

@@Mulisious It really does feel horrible when it comes to mobility. After playing him for 70 reps+, it's a HUGE change and if they decide to make it the final version, this is definitely gonna take come adapting

[@thequioryan13]

Ubi really wants the main offensive stance dodge punish to be the dodge attack. Now if you want to do a raw unblockable or kick, you need to do another read. Feels bad man

[@menalgharbwalsharq648]

Waahm you can feel the mastery you have with this hero. I picked HL up to see if the rework worked better for me but the inputs feels even more impossible. I think they reworked medjay at the same time for ppl who don't want the headache of going through building musle memory for HL BTW, my opinion, as much as the dodge caber was ridiculous, the dodge kick had it's place. It's difficult enough to time a good dodge with highlander that you deserve this 26 damage

[@baldrofasgard4793]

HL changwe just make him more viable but more mundane and similar to other bash punish heros.He was more interesting as an all or nothing harsd read character, and its what seperated high level HL's from low tier HL's.

[@chaos_331]

They removed wavedashing, which was one of the main reasons i play HL, this sucks

[@DjJayDizzle1]

Can’t stand the longer side dodges. So glad you addressed it.

[@GutsuCoffee]

It's really great to see you get comfortable with new Highlander and still be able to enjoy him in this state warts and all. More content!

[@Mulisious]

I gotchu

[@marzbarz121]

Haven't had the time to play lately with work and life and all, great to hear a fellow lander main unpack the changes a bit. Always appreciate the content moolz

[@Mougwyn]

I really want Ubi to keep wave dashing it's such a fun and unique mechanic. I hope they add it back.

[@TwitchKaijuknight69]

No wavedashing I ain’t playing. Literally the only reason I played him was to weave through attacks and land a kick. Literally all they needed to do is make Celtic curse faster and undodgeable, kick feint, obviously keep wavedashing. That would make him perfect in my opinion

[@TwitchKaijuknight69]

And better stam

[@tharealchevy]

​@@TwitchKaijuknight69i would,ve been way happier with only stam added

[@TwitchKaijuknight69]

@@tharealchevy honestly yeah fr. I’m not happy with them making Highlander so heavily reliant on dodge attacks

[@Mulisious]

They wanted the dodge bash gone so wave dashing had to go otherwise it’d still be possible

[@NinjaJDM]

You are one of the few people where I would be totally okay if Ubi only listened to you when it comes to reworking the character haha I don't really play the Highlander so I don't have much of an opinion on it, but it was always so satisfying how you would dodge-kick people, and I feel like getting the timing down to dodge-kick people felt more satisfying and took more skill than just throwing a dodge heavy attack like every other character. I don't see why they couldn't just keep both options though seeing as they are different inputs, maybe just slightly lower the kick damage. And I feel like the dodge kick is better as a 1v1 tool, whereas just having a normal dodge attack is better in 4s modes. Also, I didn't think it was necessary to remove wave dashing, it was just fun. I am glad, however, that they got rid of the dodge grab, I played a couple games of the 4s TG and kept getting spammed by multiple highlanders and was like nah I'm good lol

[@Mulisious]

Thanks bro! I would like to know if they listened to any highlanders about it honestly lol. I think the whole idea of offensive stance was to get rid of the dodge kick and with the faster dodges we would have it. Long story short wave dashing was going to be gone no matter what. As far as I can tell

[@quadnodsarelife]

I do wish they kepted dodge kick. That made him unique if its a issue make it a long recovery. I also wish wavw dashing would stay those things gave him a unique gameplay style.

[@Mulisious]

They both had to go for the purpose of getting rid of dodge kick. Maybe they thought it was unhealthy for the game

[@Beanpolr]

They got rid of it because you could punish a ton of attacks with 30 damage. Even with nerfed offensive heavies, a consistent light parry level of damage punish was never going to stay. The only way they were ever going to keep the dodge kick was if they nerfed its heavy follow up.

[@cosineguac]

The removal of the walking backwards light attack is really throwing me off it’s gonna take so long to break that habit

[@dallasjonpaulgrove547]

I just wish they could bring back how is OFS dodges used to work, I'm completely fine with the damage reduction and not being able to counter GB a whiffed kicked, that's fine and should stay that way, but please give my boi back his insane dancing flow. That's what made him so fun to play as and now it really doesn't do much outside of dodge predictable combos, but doing that is still funny as shit.

[@michaelkoniowsky]

Holy crap your good with highlander. All those inputs.

[@Mulisious]

Thanks dude

[@tharealchevy]

I dont like the dodge attack from os i prefered the kick or grab after dodging a bash or heavy finisher u still had to earn the heavy cuz u cant block in os and u had to react acordingly when they can just attack u out of os

[@Mulisious]

Yeah the skill ceiling felt better doing that rather than another dodge attack

[@Al-aabir]

Since they lowered his damage, how about they increase his health? To be like raider

[@tharealchevy]

And stamina by alot they can't just keep nerfing his dmg with his low ass stam, the whole point of his low ass stamina was that he hits hard like a truck but he cant hit alot or spam without quickly going out of stam

[@Mulisious]

Good idea

[@TheConCarlos]

do his zone now recovery cancels ?

[@Mulisious]

Just heavy finishers

[@WorlBoss]

I remember watching OmaGosh and seeing HL gameplay with No HUD I copied that method in order to get better and then watching you play I learned to Adapt and Flow with HL better so i will always take your HL feedback seriously 👊🏾

[@toakamar8369]

I feel you, OmaGosh was the reason I somewhat repped with HL. Then started watching Mulisious because he was another consistent highlander. I honestly miss OmaGosh though. His videos are what made me view For Honor as an experience rather than a game. I loved his stories

[@WorlBoss]

@@toakamar8369 I agree 1 million percent bro glad u got to experience his greatness too

[@toakamar8369]

@@WorlBoss I'm glad too, his video where he fights the Nobu and the kensei, along with the The Salt Ends Here video are still my favorite for honor videos to this day. He just always had a good message on his work and it's so unfortunate he got burned out.

[@WorlBoss]

@@toakamar8369 Yes truly a great video some of his dodges were out of this world and I didn't know he got burned out but where ever he is in life I hope he's doing well for himself 🙏🏾

[@toakamar8369]

@@WorlBoss well my saying burned out is just speculation I feel that's the case just cause of how infrequent his posts have been. I hope it's not anything worse than that. But also yes his dodges were insane and always made me respect highlanders that could do the same.

[@tharealchevy]

Of course they nerf his damage again ffs man

[@Mulisious]

That’s life

[@lapusso3704]

remove the dodge attack in OS, its unnecesary, remove the heavy faint into OS, its useless besides that, everything else its okay the zone changes are amazing

[@Mulisious]

Without the faster dodges the dodge attack is a necessary evil so we can still punish fast whiffed attacks in offensive stance. Dodge kick or dodge OS heavy are still possible just on verrrry slow follow up attacks on whiffed swings.

[@Karma-Larma]

just add the wave-voo back

[@hsgaming631]

I really want 1v1 you for so long
