LAWBRINGER is considered by community to be the weakest champion. Do they need buff? | Forums

[TheMalakith]

seriously your asking for a buff to the law bringer? law bringer isn't the weakest player within the game. far from it. I agree the law bringer needs changes and tweaks and some improvements. however. if your basing this off dominion or off death match I can see where your coming from but lets take the time to realy in depth look at the strategies implied buy most law bringers. First and formost there best attacks are combo relient as stated above. Secondly 90 percent of the times the law bringer will corner a player and thus use the following abilities. The Long Arm, Shove, Shove Alternate, and Shove mix up. All of those listed abilities are Unblockable Guard Breaks. hence being unblockable. they cant be blocked cant be parried ect. you call that balanced and needing a buff. so that law bringers can continue to emphasize that strategy I think not. the problem stems that most of the times these unblockables are combo able. meaning they can be excuted one after the other. with no way to counter. Also and in Closing those same abilities can interrupt a dodge. my suggestion for the most part the abilities can stay how they are. however. when it comes to these abilities interrupting a dodge shouldn't happen. Fix the broken dodge mechanic so guard break no longer interrupts a dodge.

The nnblockables that do damage can be parried and dodged. Long arm is slow and can only be followed up by a light attack if you don't dodge it, and the shove can just be ignored as it only costs you a bit of stamina and nothing else.. You want to shove someone till they quit the match?

My biggest problem as a LB main is the slow guard switch. It makes no sense to me as he's listed as a counter attacker. He already has very little counter attacks that actually do or allow you to do damage. I wouldn't say he's useless though, i can win quite a lot of fights with it.

Is it just me, or because of the slow guard switch it seems impossible to parry a berserker's barrage of left/right attacks if you don't parry the first swing as a Lawbringer. I swear at times my parry timing was spot on but I always end up taking a hit instead.

It's like that against most fast classes. All the assassins and now the valkery as well on lights. They simply come so fast that you got about a frame to react. Which isn't humanly possible.

Lawbringer is definitely in need of a buff. Make his top light do slightly more damage, make his side heavy move after a parry guaranteed, and make said side heavy do a bit more damage. Then he can actually counter attack.

Also, I don't include guard changing in here as a needed "buff" for Lawbringer, because it's stupid that it's this way in the first place. Such a fundamental core mechanic should be standardized for all characters.

LAWBRINGER IS NOT THE WEAKEST CHARACTER AT ALL!!!!
RAIDER is FAR weaker by LEAPS AND BOUNDS!! If anything they need to put some serious love into the Raider!

Lawbringer has health, he has reach, he has SPAMMABLE vortex disables and stamina reducers.

I can pick up a LB RIGHT NOW and win matches and I hardly play him.
Try playing ANY MATCH as a Raider past rep 2... its IMPOSSIBLE to get things done.

Lawbringer doesn't have a vortex. That's how I know that you don't know what you're talking about.

Nerf that Long Arm spam, there is no way to get out of it once your in it. If someone has found a way to break free of that terrible spam I love to hear it. Other then that I feel he is a bit slow, I only ever see Law Bringers use that Long Arm spam, and try to shove/guard break. His other moves I can see coming a mile away. Though I haven't play Law Bringer in a while so I myself am a bit rusty, only going off of what I fought during matches.

[Gen.Armchair]

Have you tried the dodge button? Because that's how you get out of longarm spam. It's that easy.

Lawbringer needs to have a faster stance change speed.

Also, considering how powerful other classes are both with attack and defense, plus their major buff advantages with Revenge mode, yes, Lawbringer needs a major buff. I can get killed with 1-2 hits from a weak assassin as a Lawbringer. Yet, if I max out my Revenge mode, it still takes me 4-5 hits to kill someone, and that's if I utilize his combos perfectly. Needs major defense and attack buffs, or the other classes should not be causing so much damage.
