If you play Gladiator I hope your fucking teeth rot

Wow!

Wow!

Good fight!

I just think Glad is boring to fight against, all they ever do is do dodge bash into heavy feint into another heavy, toestab, follow-up heavy, that’s literally their entire combo, Glad literally has a one trick pony moveset and I hate it

Yeah this is another part of the reason while glad needs a massive overhaul type rework. The way he’s designed is just so good at noob/low mmr stomping that he’s probably an S tier hero at that level. The level where a 600ms neutral bash is the same pretty much as the 100-500ms starting bashes. His dmg and punishes are stupid insane and easy as fuck to pull off. If you’re at a level where you can’t react to him then he’s an absolute nightmare that can melt your health so fast it’s not funny. Then at high/higher levels he becomes so significantly worse. Especially in comp level where he’s literally bottom tier in everything accept ganks and even then there are heroes now with arguably stronger ganks while being more complete, healthier and better of a hero.

I agree with this 😤

Haha feint everything into toe stab until they react then guardbreak haha - glad mains (me)

glad is one of the only heroes who make me feel absolutely defenseless because i can’t react to his neutral bashes and the skewer mixup is so powerful

Pust Jarry🤷‍♂️

Quitting For Honor was the healthiest gaming choice I’ve ever made.

You should try playing him, he's actually really fun! And it does feel nice to be the menace that's been plaguing you every once in a while.

"MARS ME ADIUVAT!"

HAHAHAHAAHA This is too funny!

I know you’re mad, and this is a rant, but how is glad broken? His toe stab is the only way to actually guarantee damage, unless haymaker is active. His bash doesn’t guarantee a hit. Against someone who is really good at turtling, gladiator can’t really do damage unless he toe stabs. You don’t need to learn to parry light attacks to beat a gladiator, you just have to dodge attack at the right moments, and if he does side dodge bash, you get a free guardbreak. The floating weapon bug is stupid but that’s not the player’s fault

Mix up intensive hero mixes up into a long chain of feints and low DMG hits and drives people crazy. Skilled glads are a major pain as they have mobility, reach, and a very complex moveset with easy punishers and deflect. Absolutely love my glad as I try to play pk a lot but yk how that goes so I play glad and absolutely destroy in dom.

This is the most ranting rant I’ve seen on this sub. 10/10 rant and wishing you a good day.

I can relate bro, used to play a lot of smite but was kind of stuck in that spot where I'm better than a casual player, but not good good, so I'd get stuck in lobbies where everyone thinks they are amazing because they have a decent idea of what's going on so they just become extremely toxic over EVWRYTHING, being laugh spammed and flamed for your mid getting 1st blooded would make my blood BOIL, made me drop the game entirely about 2 years ago, definitely worth it to find one that doesn't kill your soul.

my way of countering their bs is being more annoying until they rage quit, cause not very many of them know how to block even less can parry. also gotten to the point fewer of those stabs land even when I'm not purposely being cancer to them.

I haven't been on in a cool minute and I main glad. Hate light spam. Love parrying and bonking mfs though.

Incredible character arc OP goes through in this post and comments. Glad you uninstalled, but like us you'll stay in this install and uninstall cycle. Soon the desire to try to have fun in this game will come again and you'll meet the gladiator again. Until then,

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

All valid. Best thing I can recommend is feinting an attack to bait out his dodge attack or dodge bash, and use his reaction to ur feint to use ur own dodge attack to guarantee damage against them. Small but has helped me fight glads plenty

Charge heavy into guard break into 2 head bonks and a throw into a wall into a kick charged heavy into a left light bash right light bash left light bash left light charged bash into flying needle. Wow! Wow! Thanks!

Dayum

Yeah I’m definitely not playing this game, if this is what happens, I already get mad enough at the smallest inconvenience

Meh I have have fun trying to land me skewer, but unfortunately this is a game where you can nit pick any character I’m pretty new only really learned and played 2 characters, my first ocelotl was fun to learn the game’s mechanics on but hot garbage to play when everything kind of loops and I didn’t feel like I had to earn damage just keep spam mixing in a sense. Where as glad has bin reslly fun for me, trying to mix shit up and land skewer is very nice to the brain and you can’t take that from me. From my like month of playing it’s very obvious that this game is still a fighting game at heart it’s not an rpg or mmo where things are more predictable and slower pace. I feel a lot of people get into the game for aesthetics when people should look at it as a fighting game on coke made by fucking ubi so by law expect some fucking ubi magic and most importantly your playing a fighter reactions or reading play styles are literally the fucking point

I wish you well on the journey to better games! Please never look back and leave us behind. We will bear the suffering from here sir.

Tell us how you really feel

I 100% understand ranting about a character you dont like, and you are totally entitled to dislike any character you want, but glad is a really odd one to complain about from my experience.

He only has like 2 high damage attacks, one which you can just block and another that is a 50/50 between parry and light interrupt (provided they cant light parry on reaction consistently). No dodge cancels and a majority of his kit is dodge gb vulnerable. Lights arent enhanced either so no need to parry. I find that it's really easy to just eat his chip damage and then really get going on offense, baiting out dodge bashes for free gb's. Much rather fight a glad than like a Zerker or shaolin. His deflect is brutal though. I am also a duels player, so I dont really know if hes worse in dominion.

I’m 29 bro. Stopped playing after y1s2 and came back start of y8s1.

You don’t need to parry lights, just get the basics of blocking them, and understanding when the player will choose to poke ya toes. They rarely ever go for the skewer unless you’ve shown you don’t understand the dodge mechanic exists

I pissed a guy off because he thought I was spamming shield bash and toe poke and my friends always came to my rescue. So I responded to him saying I will tell my friends to back off and I will not use toe poke or bash the whole match against him. He lost just as bad and I hurt his pride and ego big time because he stopped responding to me. I even stuck with my word the whole match even when he tried to tag team me. I used toe poke and shield bash on the other guy but not him just to piss him off more and it worked. I even told my friend not to help with the 2v1 because I wanna show him I dont need it but I use it for fun and even I notice I accidentally spam it at times so I hold back. One of my favorite days on for honor honestly lmao.

I havent played this game in 3 years, my time on gladiator is like 16x the next character. Are my teeth safe?

Glad is a high pressure character who can condition somebody quite easily. Oddly enough one of his mixups are just bashing almost anything, it doesn't do much but it does throw your opponent off their game enough to land a skewer or toe stab.

He's not busted, just that he counters a bunch of the roster, not by being OP, but by having an answer for most things.

In short, your wrong.

Oi fuk you

I read this is Rick's voice. (Rick & Morty)

DEMISSE MANE TE

🗣️

I don't mean to laugh at your pain m8 but thanks for a good laugh. I just started the game and I can already resonate with this lmao.

Just feint a couple of times. They’re brains don’t register that they got outplayed so they try to reflect like idiots, much to their dismay.

You must be new. It's ok glad is known as the noob killer. Get to about rep 50 then try to play him. He is one of the worst characters in the game once you're halfway decent

"every attack is a 50/50" is a WILD statement

glad isn't good, he's actually fucking ass lol. He's just insanely annoying to fight against. He has the most safest "openers" that don't lead to anything.

Cry about it he’s reactable

C tier hero getting in people's heads like this is insane holy

Imagine getting this mad over a video game. My brother you need therapy.
