I know he can't perform long/harassing combos, but most players in high level play can't rely on combos because they're too risky and easy to punish. The 2 hit combos of his seem perfectly adequate, and even better than some due to the speed and hyper armor. Attack range and stamina consumption doesn't seem to be any issues either. It seems like he has all the tools to outmaneuver his opponents without any real drawback.



[EDIT] Also, it seems rather strange that the Warlord can shove opponents in any direction, but the Raider can't with his carry. It seems like an ability that should be switched since (imo) the Raider lacks a good offensive 1v1 toolset and Warlord already has a lot of countering/punishing options. Grabbing and swinging your opponents to the side to reduce stamina seems like more of a Warlord thing to me anyway.



But I also don't play the Vikings very much so I could be totally wrong here.
