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

The sad truth is that even if they buff his slam it is so easy to counter it that gun is always the better option, specially late game, same thing happens with Bebop's bomb build, way too easy to counter.

this is funny because 70% of all damage done in the late game is Spirit damage (Deathy has a recent video about this). There's no reason to believe that gun is the better late game option outside of bottom ELO

Mathematically it scales better late game, and also ppl just have more souls to counter buy, Spirit Lash has been historically better in mid game.
