Weird. Hard Carry that has superb early ganking/roaming skills.
How is that "weird" anymore? That's how S2 does carries :/Originally Posted by R0XAS
Also he seems very much like a hero that's going to need a bit of time before he's going to get used competitively, but I'd say he's definitely going to get used on the long run.

This.
The hero makes no sense and goes straight to my own "remove if possible list"...
My suggestions:
Key Binding - http://tinyurl.com/BindDemItems2
Remake votekicking - http://tinyurl.com/RmkVotekickingNao2
Ability to use item hotkeys while shopping - http://tinyurl.com/DemHotkeys2
The hero is fine overall, though it's not as much as I myself expected.
We surely have many things to talk about his handy "blade"
Feeling Dangerous ?
I don't like the shield/passive combo. I know it can be balanced, but I don't like it. Ranged heroes have the benefit of being ranged at the cost of damage/survivability. The passive and shield takes away the main issue with being ranged and gives him the nice increased damage most melee heroes have.

Why pick CD when you can short someone of 7 armor and have 600 range instead of 475 \_(-_-)_/
OK but on a serious note, um... Gunblade doesn't seem original at all, very bland hero in my opinion. As for his power level, I have seen him get completely destroyed and completely stomp, so need more time to be sure where he stands on the tier list.
Every hero below has one or more new ability effects, Check them out:

Play him once on my friends account, the shield is juz too good. Cost only 65 mana, absorb at least 1 dmg per mana together with MS increase. I build an energizer on him with shield maxed, i can go 522 move speed. It seems to me that his shield is even better than some pseudo-blink. Not to mention his Q and R are good ganking/chasing skills.
Overall, he gets too much early presence as a carry. Should tune the numbers on the skills.
The thing with gunblade is that he does a lot more damage up close. He needs a bit more survivability than the other ranged heroes because of this, he is a ranged hero that will actually be in the middle of everything with his ult and the crit damage depending on the range. I think the ability itself is fine, but maybe some numbers on it can be changed a bit.
Have yet to see anything amazing from him, but he seems more apparently powerful than most other recent heroes.
Once again, a more of a low tier hero, not bad for pub stomping early game even. Probably will never be seen on the competitive scene. Ya his shield is quite strong but he's still uncomparable to hard ranged carries like flint/fa/cd. Similar to Master of Arms (not being able to do some real carrying till late game with some epic items). If S2 wants to have him as a hard carry then Gun will need some changes in his skillset. If S2 wants to keep him as an early ganker/semi carry then he's okay I guess. I've tried playing him with support build cus everyone on my team wants to carry (astro, tablet, teacher ring, 15 wards) It turned out to be surprisingly okay since he does have the awesome shield that supports dont have. On the other note, if you're gona play agi support, engi w/ his ult is much more useful, but once again Gun survives better due to his shield.
He has excellent sustained damage throughout the entire game, and he can be described as a superior laner. He is also quite difficult to kill, which is a favorable quality for any hero.
Ult needs some rework . - armor is ok , but cd . stun and dmg is simply low + his shield if not activated say he is stunned is of 0 use + its 180 + 1.5 x agility can surely take few minor spells around
I'd agree with CyberKun and racewong about the Demonic Shield being powerful on a ranged agility carry. He can kite you to hell with it, or escape, or even chase with it.
I feel he's underestimated and often put off as "just another ranged carry" or a crappy flint beastwood, which is silly.
His shield skill is amazing, and pretty much puts you at haste speeds with ghost marchers. The mana cost is almost nill (60) and it gets you quite a bit. His passive does crazy damage and I've been tempted to max it first. I've considered balls to the walls stats and passive builds sort of in the vein of old arach aura and stats build, but I haven't worked up the nerve. His Q skill is pretty sweet, though the aim plates that were shown might be nice or some way of knowing if you're in range of if you're going to just shoot in that direction. Oh well... His ults fine. -armor debuff could last a tad bit longer. The cool down on it could be shorter...
I'm really conflicted on what to build on him, though I'm sure in time we'll see something popular work itself out. I've had success with things like shieldbreaker, nullfire, flamebrand, rushing 1-2 dancing blades, it's all over the place.
I like this hero, though I can't put my finger on it, something seems off. His attack animation drives me crazy, though I guess I get it's supposed to. Why should flint beastwood get such a great animation over him?

Base damage?
About all the games I played against GB, I guess my team won only once. His damage is so crazy, and his survivabilty with shield is amazing. After all, all you need on this hero is stack agility, just like nh.
Retired after the deportation system announced by S2 games. If you are a latin and have any self esteem, uninstall tthis game and play something else.

So then why dohave such a good cast point? I do think it's the cast point that sucks, not the projectile speed itself. And don't say survivability, because Gunblade's only real survivability is his shield which you need to cast — similar to
's armour,
's disables and
I don't think his base damage is anything crazy compared to heroes who fill similar roles(
well on nh you realy dont have to stack agi i have like a bruta and winged but a huge base damage + rift and i can 1 hit peapole with pounce

He kinda is "just another ranged carry". He offers nothing besides that.I feel he's underestimated and often put off as "just another ranged carry" or a crappy flint beastwood, which is silly.
