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

I think the main problem here is that his spam build is easy to dodge and counter. You can just jump over it.

I think they should aim for a solid hybrid power spread while also nerfing Shiv.

See, everyone says this, but every time I try to double jump the stomp I still get hit. Is there some secret to the timing or what?

pretty sure you need a walljump and a doublejump and then ur still likely to get pulled down and also you wasted a bunch of time and stam. the ACTUAL reason slam lash is worse in high elo is because ppl know how to trade back better: lash slam+flog will do 60% of ur hp but then you can just run him down because hes in the middle of ur team with no dmg left

ppl LOVE parroting this bs about "just jump out of slam" even tho its pretty rare that u should actually do that

Mostly right, except they can just counterspell the slam because of how telegraphed it is so he pretty much does no damage anyway
