Idea for nerfing HA lights | Forums

Why not make HA lights only activate in the direction of the attack? This would make it more skill based and open up HA light attacks to baiting.

Thanks for the suggestion, Crimson! I could totally see this being a viable change to how HA works with light attacks, I'd like to see it myself. I'll add it to my notes to the devs

Could you please explain why you think this would be a viable change? Because apart from Shugoki there is currently no problem with HA on light attacks.

This is because apart from Shugoki nobody else has access to a HA light on reaction to an indicator. Everyone else that has HA on their light attack is either an in-chain light such as Zerker or a chain finisher like Kensei, Hito, Highlander in defensive stance, etc. In those cases it can only ever be used to trade on prediction, which is the intended job of HA.
