Lawbringer NEEDS FIXED [VIDEO] | Forums

[nyrue]

No offense, but this is the conq's fault. Doge/roll away.

The Lawbringer is pretty gimped as it is in the first place. It doesn't even do damage.

first off "long arm" drains a hefty amount of stamina from your opponent so if this was to work, and I'm not saying it does your not getting very far

I am a rep 3 Lawbringer and I confirm that long arm 100% counters revenge mode in 2v1 situations. But I want to add that this is so far the only big advantage of Lawbringer that I found.

i dont think the game's main balance priority should be in 1v1s. That being said, this does seem a bit ridiculous. do you know if this style of lock can be preformed with two players with different characters? Because maybe the problem isnt with lawbringer, maybe it's an overarching problem revolving around knockdowns?

actually revenge mode doesn't parry this ability as it is not an attack, and you cannot dash while being struck by another player, this is most situations in-escapable

you cannot dash while being struck by another player <-- you're right but he can't do this in a 1v1 sooo it's not really a problem... you were just ganged up on and he kept throwing you while she stopped your dash. If you ask me they pre-formed good teamwork to kill you.

think of it like.... them using powers to benefit killing you easier.

Or you could just.. ya know.. DASH to the side?! Or activate revenge right before he pokes you so the revenge animation parries him?...

Sometimes its lack of knowledge on the player side, not that the character is OP.

I'd like to take a moment to reiterate that:

1. After it lands the first time you can't dodge away, There's no window.

2. It is unparryable, so usually they specifically look for you to blow revenge to have the window to use it and lock you in the chain while Revenge is going.

Sometimes it's lack of knowledge on the player side. You were certainly right about that.

Now, this guy DID have a second after a few of them when the LB paused before using another that he could have side-dodged, I think. But even so, this particular spam does feel like a design flaw.

Teamwork is fine. Getting lift-locked repeatedly for several seconds is one of the only things I'd call cheese in this game.

I Agree it's barley a Advantage.... complaint's about a lawbringer is irrelevant due to them being judged as "The weakest Champion"

[messyman1]

Yes I believe an increase on recovery time would be in the right direction for a solution. I was going to say drain more stamina but even if you get hit twice in a row with no chance or avoidance, this can be detrimental in a match and as you can see... a bit unfair

So I like your idea!

I Disagree I see no problem with it. His dash was being canceled.... + in a 1v1 situation it wouldn't be as effective.

I had this happen to me last night. One guy who was reputation 2 kept doing it. I started hitting guard break to get out of it. If he's alone it's easy to get out of. Harder when he has help like anything else in game. Role and/or shield break to escape

[coloss3070]

You are bad. Instead of raging, you could make a research or ask and would discover that the Long Arm move you complain about is actually tech-able similar to guard break. Not to mention that it does no dmg and only a light attack is secured after it and that's a way to escape. If he just keeps doing it you will both run out of stamina and again will be able to escape. Git gud, please.

Edit: even if there is another opponent there and if they do not coordinate well with the Lawbringer the latter could easily miss his Long arm due to you being in a hit or block stun from the other player. Guard breaks and moves similar to Long arm don't work while the opponent is in hit or block stun. You see only a blue gloom flash but the actual grab doesn't happen.
