It’s only a 5 min video in which the Youtuber Infinite summarises up why LB isn’t a viable pick anymore and needs a rework, as well as showing Roman who just thinks we need to learn how to play our hero. He basically explains that LB doesn’t have any way to open up a hero, and compares him to Conq who is a better offensive and defensive hero than LB.
The other cast just got better openers. LB got left behind without a viable bash. His opener is block and push but that doesn’t work anymore against all the new bashes with guaranteed damage.
Just don’t bite on his feints and roll on push when your stamina is full and he can’t hurt you. In dominion with stam reduction, u can roll all the time. LB is only good in 4s bc of poke, bombs, and a higher health pool. His heavy parry also helps to ledge.
Also characters with fast attacks after getting blocked, can hit the LB before the block push interrupts them. So block push is worthless in these cases. For example ara and cent.
56 Reps with LB Roman, I think I know how to play my character. I thought devs wanted to get rid of turtle meta? So why are they now pretty much saying we should just turtle and block shove constantly, because that’s certainly not a fun way to fight.
Oh wait I forgot, Lb has probably the best OOS pressure in the game, and his heavy attacks are quite possibly the hardest to parry, and everyone falls for the heavy feint GB.
I lied.
I’d like to see Roman play LB and show us how it’s done.
