Update 2.28.1 Very Disappointed :( [ dodge heavies and unpunishable fast bashes ] | Forums

They fix that block thing a few seasons ago, when that was not guarented in the latest lawbringer rework i think....

I need to test this more but it is still an issue and the timing is a bit broken on PS4. They should just make it unlockable or speed it up so it 100% connects.

Do as I do... I'm aware of the various limitations that my character has... But it's all worth it, in the few times when i manage to Pin the opponent. it's soon a moral boost...

I mean ya, if they keep dodge attacking then they will get wrecked. But high level gameplay no one plays like that, they will try to dodge attack LB's bashes. So I need more options to catch the side dodge otherwise it's a light chain vs heavy chain, Or I side heavies need to be more punishable if the enemy makes a mistake. I need to guarantee more damage. No one is dumb enough to get hit by a heavy. So gameplay is monotonous.

In "high level play" LB turtles and fishes for punishes. He bashes to stuff mix ups. People don't dodge attack his bash because it has a very low recovery so unless your timing is perfect your dodge attack is getting parried. Only dodge bashes are good at dealing with that. Instead they will bait the bash and then dodge to get an easy GB for someone who's trying to shove on indicator.

Doom I don't think you're a high level player

Meh, made it to plat. High enough to meet people who don't spam and use their brain.

Oh, you play ranked? Then what is your problem? Lb gets 28 guaranteed damage with a blind on every parry, including dodge attacks without ever worrying about positioning. You just have to improve, pressing side heavy after a parry on correct timing seems to be hard for you, and being able to do that is literally mandatory with this hero. It is like not being able to tripplestab with pk, or not getting your double side lights as Warden.

Plat is not high level at all. I am Diamond, and I would never say I am high level.

None of LB's heavy parries guarantee 28 damage, the maximum is 25 I believe but has to be a wall splat. A light parry guarantee's 30 dmg

What is the hero you used to get into diamond?

[deathtocakl]

I personally like pk and ara. But I could get to at least diamond with anyone

Interesting. I consider diamond to be high level, just not top tier. I mean, it's top 10% and beyond. That's better than 90% of all players. Not too shabby.

I have 48% winrate in duels, so I am not in the top 50%. And yet, I am diamond 4.
