I think the exist of sam lb made fl 50% less fun, because everytime I see a sam, I have to change my mindset. Its like the rules of the game had changed the moment I saw a Sam. It is just not fun to play against a sam.
Tbf I still think that fl is just meme game mod, its not fun and that is fine.
I can see your point. Personally I have the same issue vs Seiton or Meteodrive which both feel pretty much like "guess I die" and move on.
On the other hand I find it extremely funny to counter Zantetsuken with shields, but there is no in between.
Also FLs is a gigantic gamble since you have no enemy list to see the Chiten buff, and the SAM also doesn't have one either to see your Kuzushi debuff so it's kind of a dice roll every time.

Even funnier since they changed the hit registration, when the sam conveniently moved or dashed in out of nowhere after you actually used your AoE skill.
