Samurai LB is still BS

[Xylira]

Oh boy, its another one of these threads!

No. You deserve to die everytime you get LB'd by a Samurai. Their toolkit is limited enough as it is. If you can't watch your AOE around a Samurai, Can't keep track of them putting chiten up, or generally fall for their easy bait then you have bought, and paid full price for that OHKO.

Yeah, but actually not really.

The net code is janky enough where you can attack a SAM who doesn't have chiten up, but if they activate it at the same time and you get unlucky enough with the server tick registering it first, you're SOL. This is even worse for MCH and BRD who have a short cast time on their main attack, which makes it even easier for a SAM to slip in a chiten before an attack even easier. Good luck to anyone that has a moderately higher ping, their chances of falling victim to this sort of thing is even higher.

So this notion that 'you deserve to die' is straight up BS. There are absolutely cases where you can do everything right from your perspective, but still end up triggering Kuzushi.

Can confirm that as a MCH main the times I die to this is usually because either of shitty tab target, unfortunate AoE cleaves (rare on mch), or being screwed by cast times. Although for the latter it's just better to ignore the SAM just a little before their LB is filled just to be sure.
