I for one love LB's so much that he's rep 27. I know people feel that the 50/50 shove and the The long arm move (when they flip you) is hated by lot's of people. But It's highly Predictable and VERY punishable. Let's be honest OTHER classes have moves that we all HATE and that are less predicable. I'm sure you guys can name other classes cheesy moves. The LB lacks speed,defense,Stamina and not only that but their unblock-able/Heavy's are very slow... I cant tell you how paranoid im am when i use it against a good player cuz the parry kills the LB's stamina. Yet I see people complain about them and wanting to nerf them? what's going to happen when the new classes come out?
Be Honest please LB's need a buff.
also please voice how you feel. Be nice try to understand each other
Thank you![]()
p.s LB's are life![]()
I disagree with him being midtier before but I'd say he's about there now. He had the slowest attacks and pretty low damage especially when you consider how slow he was. No good openers, bad mobility, slow guard stance, and no mix ups. He was one of the characters I played as prebuff and I had to feint half a dozen times just to get a single light in if my opponent was half decent.Originally Posted by kweassa1917 Go to original post
If he wasn't the bottom of the barrell then I don't know who was. I personally did better with kensei, raider, and orochi. I've never played as zerk and have little play time with nobushi but I can see myself being more successful with them if I gave them a shot than with Lb. You are right about him being defense inclined, his parries could lead to high damage but his slow guard stance made missing parries a huge problem. I feels he's in a good place, he's still lower than warlord, warden, pk, shug, and valk.
LB wasn't good at all pre buff. He has one of the worst stamina of all, second lowest damage, slow guard speed, slow attacks, and pretty much no opener. He was a noob stomper, that's about it. Now you got some faster follow-ups to surprise people a bit sometimes, and finally some good damage for attacks that are so slow. Now he's quite okay.Originally Posted by kweassa1917 Go to original post
