Streming right meow. Come be based and hop on in the strem boyos. Hope you enjoyed the cringe acting and more good stuff to come soon. Lmk how you guys been enjoying the HL rework! bibi see you later

fought a rep 73 Highlander yesterday, he was desperately trying to wavedash around me, I felt like I was putting a dying fish out of its misery lol

It's ssooooooo cool how every rework we get turns a technically challenging and rewarding character into a brainrot character

I’m GLAD you called out the Wack Ol HITO and VARANG mains. Only playing the characters for how janky and literally broken they are. 💀

Nice acting in the beginning

Really put your heart and *SOL* into that intro!

Playing against highlanders in 4v4 has been incredibly frustrating because its easy to lose most of your hp off of 2 or 3 heavies from ganks and not even getting half a bar of revenge. Finding myself getting stun locked and getting instantly murdered similar to how orochi was able to do before the nerfs so im hoping the revenge changes become active soon

Sol casually destroying Havok in the background

I love the commit on the intro

About wavedash, I understand highlander mains, I had 8 rep on highlander before the rework which is not quite enough to master wavedash but I get it. But at the end of the day, the new dodge attack is allowing for a bunch of new interesting stuff, HL can now dance around an hyperarmor hero like zerk or orochi, he can target swap dodge attack to slip through brawls and solo the commander or the guardian in no time... Also the reduced timing to dodge after entering OS allow you to replicate what wavedashing was doing but even more precisely and fast, but just once of course, after you are in OS, you cannot just go left and right So I understand the frustration, wavedash was fun and it is realistically not an option anymore, but maybe people need to accept that it's gone and enjoy the new capabilities of the hero It's not like they made useless a signature move that was the definition of the hero and his best tool like lawbringer, wavedash was just a bug For the rest, you made a good summary of how insane this rework is and all the new possibilities and mixups, this is a very good rework, and I think make this hero way more usable for people who never played him. I would just remind you that forward caber toss is supposed to be his rollcatcher now, this is why this move is important, and it is not faster that regular caber toss, they are both 600 ms bash, which is pretty easy to see coming in normal circumstances ngl Side caber toss was completely broken but forward one is fine if you take into consideration the risk of going into offensive form, especially without wavedash to avoid interrupts

I felt that opening and i only have 13 reps on him before the rework

If they remove the change that didn’t allow immediate dodge kick then I would be okay with the rework. It feels like I’m playing a different character entirely. Backlight was a crutch but now it is way easier to prevent a HL from entering OS. The bait and switch mindset of HL feels a shell of what it used to be. I feel there is no resemblance to what he used to be.

Honestly SOLID voice acting in the intro

2 simple changes to my main HL, revert the wavedash changes and allow him to use his dodge forward heavy attack from OS by letting go of heavy while dodging forward, like with his OS dodge attacks. That would be much better, it's not braindead gank pin and allows him to flow right back into his DS and get quick hyper armor that can soft feint into his dodge attack etc etc, simple fun nerf and change in my eyes

I love the dodge attack out of os it gives pseudo dodge recoveries

Hey Sol, mind if i nominate you for an Oscar? that opening bit was truly amazing.

A bug at the moment with offensive stops you from kicking when you dodge and swap guard mid dodge, so if there are any other highlander mains out there wondering why youre left staring at someone occasionally when you "wavedash" something now, that's why. Don't swap your guard to stam switch or anything, just stay on same side and try kicking instead

On this rework how they gonna cook and then do my law bringer dirty like that

Title is crazy 😭🤣

1- funny ahh intro 2- Havok and RavenKnigth in Dominion 😭

Ive played highlander for 70 reps, 1 rep with the rework. I like it and I hate it. On one hand, i can spin forever now, even if it is mostly from one side, it still looks really cool, and realistically greatsword users would be spinning a lot. I like the hyper armor on the zone as well. And feint into offensive stance adds a ton of mix ups and fake outs that were not possible before. On the other hand, it feels like offensive form is more difficult to stay in now, even with more ways to access it, and my defensive form heavies hyper armor feels like it kicks in really late. Maybe its just me, but it feels like the hyper armor doesnt hit for a long time now. It made trading with him more difficult than it use to be for me. Also, dodging in offensive form use to allow me to kick right away, but now it feels like the kick is more delayed. Or the timing on the button press to queue up the kick is messed up now. The rework has fucked with me hard.

Highlander is the perfect specimen my king can no go crazy

when feinting the kick, if you hold heavy AFTER feinting it, you will let out the heavy if you are trying to parry. while feinting it, let go of the heavy and it will be fine

Hey Sol. Just wanted to ask if you have a playlist on Spotify that we can use. I love the music you use and would like to listen to it while playing Faraam. Thanks for feeding our for honor addiction pookie

Rest in peace my sweet tech based boy

I was rep 34 with him and didn’t know what wavedashing was until this video lmao.

Yeah, now HL are either desperatly trying to wavedash or spamming bash and hyperarmor. Went from a fun and skilled hero to braindead hito, my only rep80, you love to see it...

that voice over!

Now cent. I want to be able to anti gank.

i think a better way they shouldve gone would be if the devs just gave him a dodge forward heavy/light in offensive stance, its what makes the most sense and would make it more fun to play with/against instead of being brainrot with the dodge forward caber. hes definitely way less brainrot then hitokiri/conqueror/varangian just because of the risk/reward with offensive stance that those characters lack completely, you can easily get hit out of your offense and im glad they kept that in. also hot take: i think the minimum hyperarmor starting ms for all characters should be way higher then it is currently. 100ms hyperarmor on chain heavys is a cop out and is a crutch for the devs because they dont know how to make characters viable and fun to fight against at the same time. i think that would make the game way more healthy overall. i hate how dumbed down fighting a character with hyperarmour feels now. hot hot take: they should make all deflect inputs separate from the dodge attack inputs for all characters that have them. deflects should be pure skill, not luck.

Am I tripping or does highlander look faster more fluid instead methodically slow and chunky

i was heartbroken about the removal

Sol Voice acting is on point! 🤣

They took away wave dashing ?

I did not know people had an issues with players rolling away. I just grab the with the toss before the rework

No definitely that too gotta hook up with the boys too 💯

Love the rework even tho it took ages

I really wanna see another hero with two stances/movesets

Honestly, wavedashing is still around it's just slower

My brother in Christ the last 7 games with an enemy Highlander they chained cc me off the ledge and on ps4 the dodges and heavy’s on him quite literally flashbang me

Yessssssssssss

Highlander is my second main. I was on the rep 80 grind, but after they reworked him I don’t feel like I’m earning my dubs, thus have not played since. Free victories are hollow.

10 views in a minute is honestly a dream for me

whats the music

What i experience a lot as a Hl main is that opponents just stare me down and try to react to everything i do. This has become worse now that he has no backstep anymore so I only have raw lights and heavys to get into Os and celtic curse which is Gb vulnerable af by the way. I do understand that backstep was very strong for certain heroes, but if one hero needs it, its either Zerk or Hl imo. Bring his backstep back or make celtic curse Gb-safe, thats what I want for my main.

Bring back the old sol, we miss him!

Highlander is a better hero now but in dominion 2v1 against any full block hero basically useless until a teammate gets there reason being he has no bash opener. So musha, BP, vlareon, conq, kyoshin you just get stalled out till you die.

So the offensive light bug… is actually like part of a highlander tech

The pf solo makes me sad

solid sol u missed the part about highlander not having a roll catcher. Forward dodge caber toss acts as a roll catcher so taking that away leaves him with no way of getting people who roll away. he also needs some type of opener whether it’s a bash or enhanced light on at least one of his neutral lights.

Highlander still has as much button imput complexity. More than any other character. I wouldnt call him brain dead, esprcially in 1v1s.

I have over 80 days on HL. You’re right i still want my dashing🤬🤬🤬 the cool clips from dodging 2-4 pple at once were too cool. Also i hate that hes easier.

I'm really happy with the rework. Giving the players moer options is not brainrot. Just look at the rep 70 Highlanders having a hard time adjusting. This requires brainpower.

Have the done anything for zerk? I stopped playing this game because I feel all the new caricatures have much more in their kit. Also he is one of the oldest heros in the game.

How tf did you run into Havok in DOM?

The removal of the back light for hg is terrible for him

Actually.. it’s just slower. Wavedashing. It’s there, but the timing is slower. There’s a video by the Fiend of Ondar where he tests out everything

Can someone explain to me what wavedashing is?

Nah, we keeping the front dodge kaber toss

Okay now that most characters have krept up the power curve can we finally get back pre-release Valkrie ??? :( She was such an awesome character but got butchered multiple times bc she had a better kit than everybody else.

I really like the rework. I ways like him now I like it even more. Rip offensive dashes tho

For Honor here www.youtube.com/@leo4gaming

I play one match today and of course it was a 4 stack of HL Last game i play for a while me thinks.

but but but wave dash :( my whole highlander playstyle is gone

fiend claims wavedashing is still a thing, just like 20% slower and youll be fine

2 days ago i started to teach one of my friend in this game. We did 2v2 matches against bots and i got whooped by a fucking lvl 1 HL XD

Tbh HL rework sucks like I would love a quick back hand that doesn't combo but just something in def stance that'll stuff armored moves also his back step being removed was fucked it wasn't like os it could fuck you over and whiff tech is reason for a guy with a big sword he has range let him use his foot work and range to beat the enemy because sweet Jesus that was day 1 tech for HL that no one bitched about.

Ive always seen Highlander as incredibly busted , not as someone thaz gets his arse kicked by him but someone thag kicks ass with him. Even a dumbass like me can pull of 14 kills no deaths in dom with him

Yeah so you're completely wrong on this one homie. Rep 80 day 1 HL main, his skill ceiling is now much higher than before with tech only thing they changed was wave dashing (still possible with tech) just much harder to pull off consistently (higher skull ceiling) he is now more accessible but harder to master. He cooked this one for the veterans not you new HL's.

can you see me!!!?

Broooo what’s the color scheme on that Maddox skin!! The red with the white stripe! What is it

I miss the character shinobi used to be. He used to be worse. But he also used to be more fun. Hot take but don’t balance characters to be viable at top skill levels.

Im upset about this. Iv only played highlander and warlord. And highlander was my favorite and now his identity is gone. Wavedasging, crush encounters was my bread and butter. A "good" highlander would open up with a few things. Celtic curse, wavedashing, Crush encounters or a heavy... There is starting an offensive form and either just throwing a kick or the grab but that play is complained by wavedashing. I cant even bate attack chains dodge it all and get a kick off. Its gay. I hate to be that guy but looks like im sticking to chivalry.

You would be surprised how many times I’ve been screwed over by getting kicked out of offensive stance bug. But yes I agree with removing forward dodge grab but think about it neutral caber toss is completely useless from neutral. I don’t agree with removing his hyper armor from top heavy though. Overall he’s braindead atm and hope they change up some things.

It's bizarre to me that people actually defend this character like it takes any amount of skill, given every hero has moves that are hard to avoid but he has 2 and 1 that promises you eat a heavy and will catch you eventually unless you can literally see the future

Get rid of wavedashing was stupid and it saddens me that no one even mentions it, besides the one or two off handed comments. Not only that but they deleted dodge kick, really bad move imo from Ubi. That and it really sucks because again, barely anyone mentions these things that’re now lost and when you’re just a nothing commenter with no real platform besides commenting on a video, it’s incredibly frustrating

I don't like his stamina changes

I feel like you don’t understand high lander was braindead in 4s. All his gameplay was double heavy and forward dodge heavy and people spamming heavies. Hitokiri mains already played braindead with him

Highlander? More like No opener

JC needs to change career path and maybe diet plan too

Stuff like highlander getting the same move with different values really just makes me lose faith in the game devs. Warden just got his "rework" couldve given his dodge bash similar treatment to the dodge caber toss being a seperate. Nope. Still dogshii gb bait.

As a hito main this rework just feels boring it doesn't fit highlander as a whole hes just a dodge spammy armored hero now. Ppl shit on hito but i enjoy being able to dictate the flow of a fight. With highlander all i need to do is spam doge into armor into zone

first

Its way too overtuned. The spam is unreal

It's sad your viewership will never be massive but atleast you have a very good community but I physically want forhonor to shut down. It's to easy for the high level play and boring there's no fun and the low levels 😂😂😂😂one light they get parried instantly trying to start a combo nah nah you ain't allowed the mmr is trash no character is balanced and no one in the community likes this heap of dog crap that is forhonor like the league of legends fans hate the game but still love it due to nerfs buffs changes meta shift ups actually good content... Forhonor add new character make them broken don't fix for months.. Allow four stacks of busted characters.. Nerf BP Nerf medjai Nerf shinobi Her shoalin Nah better yet nerf every single character nah they can't even do that they can't even balance there frigging game so it's fun and enjoyable and hardly any new players can come play because the mmr is so screwed you'll be level one going against a four stack no life rep 80 shinobi orichi highlander and vg The game is so bad I don't understand why you keep defending it sol

Really cannot agree with the brainrot comments. Making a hero have more options does not make the hero stupid. It just makes the stupid players more obvious.

What's a wavedash

I think its better to add a faster, no hyper armor, OS forward dodge attack in which can be feinted with kick to/or grab then remove the OS forward dodge caber toss in replace for his roll catcher. I miss wavedashing, holding the heavy button doesn't make him feel "unique" anymore.

In fairness wavedashing with this rework would be cancer
