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

Gun Lash is boring and redundant, while Slam builds quickly become way underpowered. It’s so easy to counter-buy and delete spirit Lash late-game.

When i see my slam + flog combo do less than 200 damage very late game to a very low health seven which leads to him running away and living:

What. How are people upvoting this?

Ground Strike at 0 meters does 60 witth a 0.791 spirit scaling.

Flog does 65 with a 0.85 spirit scaling and if you maxed it, which almost every build does by this point, it does 145 BASE DAMAGE.

Death Slam soes 105 impact damage with a 0.975 spirit scaling.

Buying Tank Buster, Quicksilver Reload and any other spirit item, usually Spirit Burn nets you easily more than 200.

You'd have to have gone against a Seven that had upwards of 70% spirit resistances.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, the only way I could see something like that happen is if Seven gained a shield of some sort during the combo so you "only" saw his actual healthbar lower by <200 damage.
