is the gladiator really that weak for the for honor community?

[Paper King]

I have been playing glad for some time and i always thought it was a strong hero, a lot of opener, a few unblockable etc... now i look at some tier and he's in C or B ?? how so ? how strong/weak do you guys think he is ?

[Mata mata turtle GAMING]

he's reactable, exept his zone

[Amon]

He is not weak. He is kinda viable now. His OOS pressure is kinda broken so is his OOS punish but he is neither weak nor OP

balanced as all things should be.

but as amon said he is not really bad or good and he does not even use a 50/50 as the main part of his kit

I dislike that gladiators deflect is not guaranteed(hypearmor must stay for the whole time, or deflect damage type should be replaced by static damage number, not the current one) , orochi`s heavy version can be feinted into guardbreak, orochi not getting punished.
other that that, gladiator is a viable person to have fun with.

Gladiator is weak for 1v1s but not the absolute worst. In dominion he's a cancerous ♥♥♥♥ who also manages to be top tier due to Toe Stab revenge feeding issues.

ever since you brought this to my attention iv been noticing it more and more to the point where i will stick by my glad ally as they so often will just toe stab on repeat for me to drop bombs on em while they're recovering, feels cheap but its free real estate in 4s...

Yeah, Gladiator is extremely strong because of this fact.

The sad truth is that every orange move gladiator has is reactable. Toe stab, zone, etc. As your mmr rises, you'll find that the only way you'll land these moves is by catching your opponent in the middle of an action or predicting in advance when they'll deploy a move of their own.

As a result, gladiator is terrible at opening, and can thus be a difficult character to use effectively at higher levels. The only "wild card" move gladiator has is his unblockable impale, which can have great mileage against the right opponent.

I love playing gladiator-- and love fighting him, too-- but despite that bias, if you encounter a player that can simply dodge your bashes and excels at turtling, your mixups become extremely limited.
