Gladiator has gotta be the safest hero in the game

[Neo]

Feintable safe zone except for dodge bashes, toe stab with either no followup or heavy/skewer followup, opening lights and heavies has similar animations.

Bro stop yapping you really saw afeera-shinobi-ocelotl-hitokiri and thought ye bro gladiator is safe??

[HELLCAT]

bro never heard Varangian guard

[Scrambled onions]

Black prior. Tbh glad is a c tier hero

[Ular-Genzi]

nah bro.. orochi is the best hero ever

[OwO]

tbh, he's good
but when you live in a game that has many other hero options that are just more annoying and OP than him, it becomes hard playing with him, regardless on weather he's balanced or not

-Afeera is only problematic next to a wall due to the left side heavy, but is otherwise a low damage hero.
-Shinobi is unsafe on whiffed kick, and his other chain attacks are parriable. He has an in-and-out playstyle that has a predictable rhythm.
-Ocelotl is awful, low range, and has pinning moves when you're getting ganked. Not much of a threat. The skewer feat is one of the worst in the game though.
-Hitokiri's heavies are easy parries if you just watch the axe instead of the red flash

-While BP can flip deflects, he's still a rather easy hero to beat, and his normal and soft-feint bash don't even have follow ups.

Varangian can't chain after whiffed bash, and all she has is an all-guard cancel which only comes into play in team modes, or if you dodge attack her normal chain moves.

Ah so you can react to those but not gladiator?
Sounds like skill issue

Gladiator is reactable, but since I have to play by just waiting on heavy parries or dodge attacks when he performs a Toe Stab or Dodge Bash, it does take quite a while. The vast majority of his moves are high reward, low risk, with the exception of his light dodge attacks, which are of course light parries.

And since we want to talk about skill issues, I think it's laughable that Ocelotl or Hitokiri are on your list.

Ocelotl is one of the best characters in the game while Gladiator is in the running for the single WORST character in the game.

Ocelotl's chain bash is superior to chain toestab in damn near every way.

His dodge bash is punishable by GB and gets him ♥♥♥♥ all. Reeeeally wouldnt call that low risk high reward. He's got bad defense on the whole which, absolutely shockingly, makes him not all that safe.

Glad is really not that good, a better example for untouchable heroes would varangian or orochi and beserker before their dodge attack nerfs

Gladiator gets a heavy or a skewer if you unsuccessfully GB. Before his slight buff a couple of years ago, you would get a GB. This is no longer the case.

Also, how is Ocelotl's chain bash superior?

While Berzerker tech is one of the most broken things in the game, Orochi post-rework has almost always been fine, with the exception of his Storm Rush gank. Also, what happened to Varangian's dodge attack? There was a period of a few months that I hadn't play not too far back.

Are you seriously still saying glad is the safest?
