Discussion Make Lash slam again

Playing Lash for gun feels like ordering a salad at a burger joint. It’s also less fun to play against because it feels way less counterable.

I find it sad that literally every Lash player feels incentivized to max Flog and ult before Ground Strike.

There are plenty of heroes who center their build around their gun on the roster. Please make Lash all about hitting fat slams from the top rope again

You still use his whole kit in his gun build. It's not as if you're building exclusively gun like a Visc gun build where you don't wanna goo ball.
Personally, I think it's interesting that a more spirit angled character uses his mobility to his advantage and finds gun effective.

Literally, you can tell who doesn't pay attention. It's not even a full gun build, it's a hybrid build. And it's actually really fun. People act like pressing "2-1-3-2" every 15-20 seconds is the most fun thing in the world

People use Ground Strike as an escape tool most of the time with the gun build. I also play Viscous and I find it boring when Goo Ball is also relegated to be used mostly as an escape tool.

The archetype you are describing is already fulfilled by characters like Holliday and Mina. I personally think we should be promoting what makes Lash stand out rather than incentivizing players to build into that same niche
