Both LB and Raider still need a lot of work. LB is still sub-par at initiating and sustaining offense. At the very least, his shove after heavy should at least be sped up a bit and he should have some hyper armor. Raider is game breaking OP now and needs a serious nerf. All he needed was a faster light starter, a few more chains, and for his stunning tap feint to be more variable timing so you couldn't just dodge the mix-up. His heavy mix-ups are way too strong now. Stunning tap is infuriating. It's hard to block even when you know it is coming and your block indicator flickers on both the side he is feinting his heavy from and the top at the same time, so you can't even tell which one it is until after you take the hit. To add insult to injury, it does 18 damage. On top of that he can soft feint his heavies to a GB? Who thought that was a good idea on a character like Raider who than then proceed to carry you across the map while draining your stamina? Also, the hyper armor on his heavies is a bad idea. I understand that you wanted there to be a reason to chose his regular heavy over the unblockable finisher. Thematically, it just doesn't fit; Raider is a Vangaurd and isn't wearing armor. Balance wise, it's not something he needed. It just makes him stronger in an area that he didn't need to be stronger in and he's that much more of a pain to fight.

If LB's shove was sped up it would be guaranteed on block. That's why mid chain shove was brought up from 300ms to 500ms. Both his neutral and combo shove have armor already fyi.
I agree that Raider and LB could still stand to be looked at. My only issues with Raider's rework was the increase to damage on some attacks. Him still having dodge into GB is what annoys me most. That and two of his lights are slower than 500ms.

Berzerker doesn't wear armor and he's an assassin. That's nothing to do with thematics. It's about design intent. They decided they wanted Raider to be about trading. So they sped his heavies up and gave him armor.

Lawbringer is broken now pushes are way to slow, can be easily dodged liked the push counter after a block, you killed it, no more light spam protection he plays like garbage now in my opinion. I don’t like the changes, thanks, I don’t play raider but I’m assuming you broke that char to? Giving up on lb for someone else I was starting to like him to. Uh I would say keep up the good work but please put the keyboard down and stop making unneeded changes and as for the new character, also stupid in my opinion. Would like to see something else maybe a scythe user katars or hand to hand user, just something different I may be alone in my opinion but I’ll still share it needed to vent thank you. Hope you decide to fix law bringer so he can actually fight he was a turtle now he’s a turtle without a shell lol
