You always see people complain about Shugoki or Lawbringer but when are people actually going to talk about Raider? 600 ms lights? No light to heavy combo? No hyper armor on any of his attacks? His unblockable and charging attack can only be performed while unlocked and dashing?

Raider has been completely left behind in terms of balance. Even landing a single hit on a character like Gladiator who can interrupt every single attack with a toe stab requires a huge effort and even when you do Raider is constantly out of stamina. I won't deny he's powerful in dominion when he has stamina reduction because of his running stampede charge, but in duels he is a dead weight.
