So we know LB is a pain. He needs a rebalance to make him fun to play against and play as and no this isn't a rework post, a slight adjust to help the character out. LB's parry punishes are powerful and his bash makes him extremely oppressive. I've played LB since the beginning of the game till now. I think these changes will be healthy and would like a healthy discussion over this.
-Neutral bash (backwords gb) Allowing LB to have pressure from neutral without having to dodge. The bash can be 500ms or 600ms. It will still only allow a light follow up into chain start.
-Nerf parries to a reasonable amount and to compensate give him all chains.
-Nerf top light to 500ms to balance out his lights. Since he would be getting all chains it's justified to make all his lights 500ms so that he isn't to fast but he can still land attacks safely.
-Parry riposte should only confirm a light on wallsplat nerfing it to 25 dmg down from 40. This is just to powerful flat out. Nerfing this will lead to LBs attempting to bait a dodge or go to the unblockable mixup netting him 55 from a mixup rather than 40 for a simple parry.
-Ad Mortem off light parry now does 25dmg and 10 dmg light follow up. Making it 35 down from 50.
-No more hyper armor on bash. Since he would get a neutral bash the nerf is justified.
-Chain bashes and dodge bashed recovery nerfed to allow dodge attack punishes, no gbs. Currently LB can parry off whiffing his bash. This needs to go and is to safe to be kept in.
-Keep all his chain finishers the same dmg. 30dmg is fine for a mixup.
-Nerf LBs health to 140 or 130. Whichever is justified for a hybrid. 150 health is to much.
-His flip is fine for teamfights and does not need a change.
To me this would be a healthy balance while also allowing LB to still remain effective. I would love to hear anything you disagree with or like.
