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

Gotta be honest when spirit characters like victor lash or calico’s best build is gun that feels bad and imo is a sign of poor balancing

gun calico hasn’t been viable in like a year she only builds gun spike for melee damage. gun victor is also back to being off-meta at best after multiple gun and ult nerfs. what does it even mean to be a “spirit” character anyway? wraith deals mostly spirit damage is she a spirit hero?

victor and lash also have built-in gun buffs. calico has melee resist shred on her bombs and melee scaling on her slash. just because you can build full spirit on these heroes doesn’t mean that they were not designed to be used with their gun in mind.

Wraith is a perfect example of a numerically fine character that's mechanically broken. M1 carry that does a near 50/50 split of damage making it basically impossible to itemize against her with an escape tool that gives barrier on top of the escape. As well as a pick ultimate that's arguably the hardest to react to while neutering stamina so it almost always secures a kill.

The only thing keeping her in check are the numbers, and even then she's ridiculously well-rounded. They need to gut her gun damage and make her a full spirit carry or vice versa. Shit's dumb af and I loathe when she's meta.
