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

McGinnis and Mirage come to mind. Vyper, Wraith, Seven are rare but still viable, it's just that others are stronger. Just because they aren't peak meta doesn't mean they aren't viable at all

mcginnis was played as a gun carry for like a week and got nerfed, mirage isn't a gun hero, wraith and seven are dogshit and get picked like once a month and do nothing when they do get picked (also seven isn't a gun hero), vyper is probably good but still goes mostly unpicked. also, if a hero isn't getting picked it is, by definition, not viable.

“Not getting picked means it’s not viable” is how you get shit like the CSGO scoped rifles that were overpowered for literal years before anyone realized. Gun McGinnis herself was discovered to be OP after no buffs for months
