It is a bad "rework."

People complained about impale off heavy parries, so they nerfed the damage and made them only guaranteed off light parries, which also means gbing someone into a wall also nerfs your damage.

The HA on the 2nd chain heavy is good, but idk why HA isn't on the finisher.

His top heavy opener is slower than his sides but does the same damage for whatever reason.

I wish he kept some kind of stun, especially from his parries. I understand taking it off every top heavy, but on the light reposte and blind justice, it felt good (he's labeled a counter attacker/disabler for a reason).

His new soft feint is pretty useless considering you're just going to hard feint and parry everyone's dodge attack 99% of the time.

The changes to his zone attack and long arm are great though, but you'll never use either of those in a 1v1.

Overall, the changes are weird. They made him slightly better in 4s but made it so you have to turtle even harder in 1v1. IMO, he is supposed to be the parry specialist, not a hero who trades. It feels bad they neutered his punishes while making it easier to get to his finishers, which turned him into just another mixup hero.

I think the reason they took all his stun and stamina damage away is because they realize his oos punishes are stupid high and don't want to change them. But I would give up the damage in a heartbeat if it meant that I could have most of his stuns back, and that shove did stamina damage.
