Gladiator needs a fix

Not beating around the bush, his Intimidate just doesn't work.

Either turn up the dial on the potency to 90% or just make it a longer infuriate of the same potency that also pauses when the opponent dashes forward; hitting the **** out of an infuriated opponent giving you more and more confidence makes sense conceptually and would make his rotation more feral and fun.

As it currently stands his ramp is unreliable and not viable. Applying intimidate to the opponent most of the time is just setting yourself up to eat special and basic intercepts.

The potency is not the % chance for the Opponent to act defensively; it refers to the potency of block proficiency reduction.

As a full-time Gladiator user, I recommend ramping by:
1. Using a Heavy>dashing back, then dashing in & hitting their block 4 times
2. Let the Defender dash back, then follow and repeat
3. Use a Heavy to go unlockable and apply Intimidate again, attack 4 times, and chain another heavy
4. Follow up with four hits into block

You can also bait a Special after the Heavy in Step 3 to take away the possibility of them using a Special.

I've been using gladiator for the longest time, since he was my 1st titan, and I dumped him 2nd titan.. I had him at R3 when r3s were hard to attain. I've said this since his buff, his intimidate, acts like a taunt, the opponent WILL nearly always for me, special intercept me when they have an intimidate, or if they have a bar of power and an intimidate applied, are we supposed to wait it out??

I want to love gladiator, I really really love using him when he works. But the intimidate is just way too unreliable. I put him in my deck optimistically and then after 2 or 3 uses, he gets dropped.. I agree with op, please do something.. I try Mikes strategy, been using that strategy since his buff, it never goes like that.. the YouTube clips we see, when don't know how many times they were attempted to get the YouTube clips..

I still remember the first time I seen Gladiator, was in X Men 92 cartoon. At the time Jugg was the big hitter, and to see Gladiator to take Jugg Punch right to the chest and didn't move an inch was awesome.

So was very excited when he come into the game.

I do try Mike's tips and while I can see it work, but sadly AI still make Gladiator far too unreliable, which is a really shame.

Really hope this AI 2.0 will help fix a lot of these champs like, Gladiator, Titania, Cassie, Mr Neg, ect.
