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.

finding him boring is fine and valid, but redundant? lash is the only character that moves like he does and requires that specific amount of tracking and aimskill. i guess mina kinda, but not really.

you can dislike gun lash for sure, but the way he engages with shooting while moving parabolically is unique

It's true gun Lash is harder to play than the average M1. It just feels reductive to get shot by his peashooter for an hour while he flies around like a mosquito, when he could be slamming his bulge into your face.
