I'm a PC player myself so it's good to hear these kinds of observations. I hadn't previously connected the dots of the possibility of less console players playing HL with the light attack issues on console.
We'll have to see if HL actually is less played on console based on the hard-data, and if certain matchups are affecting his win rates - but I will bring up with the devs to keep an eye out for!

Alright thanks, I really want to love playing him, but after getting him to rep 4 and still getting .5 and .6 KD ratio almost every match I had to go back to my LB.

One tactic I use with good success is still going for heavy parries and immediately flowing into OS to the. Land a kick/ or soft feint into grab. To do this you have to get use to holding heavy during the parry.. Ive found great success with this on console. HOWEVER; this is only when you have a heavy attack you have to change stance to block; on console the trick to the crushing counter is already matching the stance, stance change and startup is to slow to make the crushing counter work otherwise. I use crushing counter when doing parry baiting only. Otherwise go back to doing parries like other heros but dont go dont GB and learn to flow to OS. Also the dodge in OS is wider then the dodge in DS. You Can hold a person off with good timing that tries to hit you out of OS. Instead of the Celtic Cross Ill bait people in by being in OS AND WAIT to dodge, counter with OS light and flow into a OS mix ups. You can also bait people in waiting for you to open with Celtic cross bu startung in OS, cancel out of the stance and trade with the Cross..
