His kit is based almost entirely around light attacks. Much like the Orochi. However, unlike the attacks of the Orochi, the Shaolin has utility added to his attacks, and can feint into them with more ease. The attack speed is too fast, and with an easy reflex guard and escapes through heavy attack dodges... its too much.
I play monk. Almost exclusively throughout this season.... he is honestly kinda broken in how he can get so much done and switch between his heavy in lights in Qi Stance so easily.
He needs to have his dps for light attacks reduced a little, and he needs to have a more flaggable light attack, meaning only slightly longer animation time.
