I can't remember for how long Raider and Lawbringer have been sitting in garbage tier (at least for 1v1s) but you finally did it Ubisoft. They've never been bottom tier but they have been in such a horrid state for so long that it's made them miserable to play. Especially with new heroes that can just outspam R&LBs predictable useless moveset. Even highlander can just spam out kick feints against Raider and he has nothing to fight back with compared to other characters.

Couple of things I'd personally like to see in Raider changes, although I don't speak for everyone.

* Light to heavy chain to mix up attacks

* Remove his grab from sprint and change it to a move you can combo into instead. Maybe zone attack cancel into grab instead for instance. It's completely useless against any decent player in a 1v1 scenario.

* Tone down his CC in 4v4, 2v2. It's kind of ridiculous being unable to move for like 5 seconds while Raider is carrying you. Make it so that Raider can be interrupted during the carry animation. Maybe also make it so the victim can break free if they take a certain amount of damage while grabbed. This will stop Raider constantly running out of a fight and spamming grabs over and over. This move is one of the main reasons he's viable in team modes but not duel, it's important to address this if he is going to be buffed.

* Either hyper armor on certain attacks or faster lights. Right now his entire moveset is too slow and can be interupted easily by people just throwing out random moves. It's particularly bad when you're fighting assassins because they will just interrupt everything you do.

* Make stunning tap slightly harder to dodge, it's extremely easy to avoid a stunning tap right now due to the tracking being so bad on it.

* Tweak his stamina consumption in 1v1 matches. It's ok playing as raider in dominion since you have access to stamina reduction but in 1v1 you can barely do anything without running out of stamina constantly. Depending on his other changes, this may not be as much of a problem since he'll have access to less expensive mixups, but tweaking his stamina would absolutely bump him out of his horrible current state in duels.

Hopefully we get some reasonable changes without going overboard and making him annoying to fight against. I'll be waiting for the next season.
