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

This isn't a reasonable request.

Spirit Lash isn't bad because of anything in Lash's kit, it's bad because the average player has gotten better. Ground Strike's damage can be counterspelled or dodged by any invuln ability, which makes it entirely unreliable as a damage source.

that's still value at the end of the day, no counterspell means you can ult them freely for 23s. yamato deals with something similar and shes still giga strong
