Hope Ubi is watching Lawbringer. Seems the buff went a bit far? | Forums

Unless I'm wrong and he gets tweaked in patch 1.09 haha

We've been keeping an eye on LB and will continue to do so. After we've had a bit more time to gather data and feedback we'll re-evaluate him again then and decide where to go from there.

Anyone who defends LB may as well just shout 'I'm bad at the game and use whatever character is most unfair'.

The main problem with the lawbringer is there's no skill barrier, he's the new peacekeeper.
In fact no, HE'S WORSE!

At least peacekeepers need to be mindful of timing and their low health, lawbringers just need to spam the same combo until they win. I main conq, kensei, orochi, peacekeeper and raider and the only one I can successfully beat lawbringers with is the peacekeeper. You need the speed to counter his stupid shoves, the only other effective method is spamming unblockables. I'm sure wardens and warlords have no issue with lawbringers.

If being an assassin or unblockable spammer is the only way to win, you've got yaselves a broken character.

EVERY character should be viable against every other character.

Don't be hysterical. The Lawbringer is fine, in general. It's only the block>Shove>light that is a potential overbuff.

Well you hit the nail on the head. You can beat him with the right character.
Great, that renders 9/12 characters totally useless.
Yeah thanks Ubisoft. BALANCE (Y)

Lovely to see all the kids whinning, before thinking

In fact: 9/12 chars are mad for fighting the LB! Except of Raider, Warlord and Shugoki, every Hero has dodge attacks .... soooooo you wait for the shove, dodge in the first moment and trigger the attack ... it's guaranted hit and no gb possible

I've mained LB since release and like some people have said already he was decent for me before the buff, I would usually have pretty high scores in dominion, unless I was against PKs or Valks (after Valk buff), the problem with him pre buff was you had to fight 2 times harder to kill anyone due to his low damage on even heavys.

His damage is now competitive and honestly I've even been up against rep 1 LBs that have beat me with shove light spam, but it isn't unbeatable, just frustrating. That being said I think if they, like someone else said, make the shove distance out of light attack range I'd be fine with that, I don't use shove light much anyway, and certainly don't spam it.
