Stop complaining about DRG LB, the real enemy is SAM LB

[Josebm]

Someone had to finally say it people

Ya'll complaining that DRG LB is broken? HOW?
It does 30k damage (IF you are in the TINY circle)
You can use GUARD against it

SAM LB can ONE SHOT an entire party
thats 5 players from 100%hp to 0%hp
from one button
also, SAM has several abilities that IGNORE GUARD

DRG LB is meant to be countered by spreading/using guard.
The only issue is that in the heat of the battle, we don't really see that pale blue ring on the ground.

An easy fix would be make the ring much clearer, perhaps even with a light blue pillar of blue light.

Even right now when you see the ring moving that LB is much less threatening.

This plus I think they need to make it much more obvious when other people are limit breaking. In a game like overwatch, there are very distinct voice lines when people are using their ultimates and plus you can hear the voice lines from any part of the map.

Right now, LB's swing fights too hard for it not to warrant a voice line or sound for people to react to.

Here's the thing with the SAM LB

If you see them spin their sword with full LB

You don't hit them

Or, you force them to use purify, then layer CC (or pray the CC immunity bug triggers) and they can't one shot.

there is litearlly no audiovisual feedback whatsoever that they used LB. i have to pretty much stare at the lb bars on the party lists if theres a samurai because theres no aura, no sound, no nothing.

They're both OP and need nerfing

Actually is, you will hear a sword spin noise when they're using Chitin and see an animation. could do with being less subtle.

theres like a million sfx going on

They're both awful. SAM LB can oneshot an entire party, but DRG LB is just as terrible since it deals super high damage on an AoE, the indicator is garbage if you're colourblind and you can't CC it.

Huh? 20k is not super high damage lol
The indicator can be tricky to spot, but thats the point lol, most lbs are hard to spot
You can also GUARD against it lmao

How is that anywhere near as bad as one button party wipe that ignores GUARD? hello?
