Not really, you just don't know primal fights (because they cheat through even LBs)

Titan EX for example

tank LB :Worthless, it won't absorb certain things like gero crush. They developers didn't want you to bypass super bombs with tank lb, so it wont. end of story on that.

healer LB : worthless as well, the cast time on it is stupid. They timed it such that no phases you can get away with a healer LB to bypass any mechanics of titan.

Melee LB: decent, but it's based on pt combined power. With the cast time...it's really near pointless as if you have 8 people alive for the damage multiplier of titan, you wouldn't need a LB, from the way the phases are structured.

Caster LB: probably the most useful in titan since you can wipe out the adds with chaos that comes from landslides and puddle placement.


LBs do not change fights because they script it that way. Reason tank lb and healer LB are worthless many many times. Healer especially is worthless most of the time because with the cast time, the weakness, and the animation, you are dead right back down...it doesn't even have infinite range.

It's basically SE's immature battle planners. They are so paranoid of balance they unbalance things doing the exact opposite. Battles are so scripted LB is just an eye candy in the greater scheme of it. Reason Melee or caster LB is the "goto" LB.
