To start off, I've been playing Lawbringer since launch. I'm current Rep 5 and 108 and holding a KD in all game modes above 3.00kd. This is just verification that i've had enough experience with him to atleast have justified claims with the current state of this heroe. Now, i'm not going to say im a master of him because that would be untrue and irrelevant to this post.

Problem 1: ALL his attacks are hilariously slow and very easy to counter if you're on the receiving end. What this results in is pretty much a one-trick-pony of a heroe. Where you have to try to get the initial shove into a guardbreak or else you will get wrecked by anyone. Its like noone tested this character out months before launch. Using his heavys outside of guardbreaks WILL get you parried without fail and will most likely lead directly to your death. So your only option is the light attacks right? Wrong, All light attacks but his top stance are stupidly slow, almost as slow as the heavy but insanely weak damage for the animation it has on the Left/Right guard light attacks. Once again, this will lead to you getting parried and directly resulting in a death. So your only option is to SPAM Shove and go into grab, Non-top heavy attack, Shove, Go into grab, Non-top heavy attack, Shove, Go into grab and repeat until you're almost out of stamina. Come on now guys, Its like day 7 and im already sick of this combo. Its the only way to use this guy effectively because of how slow EVERYTHING he has is. Even shoguki's slow attacks have good payoffs because of his uninteruptable passive. But on to problem 2...

Problem 2: You know that skill that throws someone over your back and at best you cant get a light attack in afterwards? Yea well outside of spamming that with people who activate their revenge, its useless af. Probably one of the hardest moves to land with zero payoffs. For those ininiated with this skill, All you have to do to counter this 15minute animation is Step back OR step to the side. You'll never get hit by this skill unless its spammed during ganks or you didnt see it coming after the shove. If you didnt then, well you do now. So you'll never get hit by it. Ok Fine, The move is a disabler move, But why does it do almost zero damage and is insanely hard to pull off unless against fresh-out-the-tutorial player? Why not speed this animation up or make it a punishing move, So that if ever you get someone with it during ganks, it can be of some use. As of Now if you accidentally backup and try to guardbreak during ganks and you get someone with this move, you sealed your doom. You're dead, Ping the revive. Balanced changes to this would include: A. Making the initial hit do damage. or B. Speed up the animation and add a .5 seconds to the floor stun so you can get off a heavy attack for all that effort of trying to pull of this move. Next point...

Problem 3, 4, and 5: His Hp needs to be upped a bit. Hes the second slowest character in the game, With no uninterruptable passive like Shoguki or health regen, like Shoguki. Look at it this way, Hes a vanguard/heavy hybrid. It says disabler and counter-attacker but this is what he truly is when it gets down to it. The very definition of Jack of all trades master of absolutely none for either of these "supposed" roles. You're a counter-attacking with the easiest moveset in the game to counter and a disabler that doing so, will get you killed or do absolutely nothing but shove someone or at best, Drain their stamina. You're not killing anyone but new players who havent fought a lawbringer before period.

That wraps its up. These are the few problems to what could be a decent heroe in the grand scheme of things. Right now if you're a lawbringer holding a positive KD, i salute. You're a above average player using a below average heroe with everything stacked against you OUTSIDE of jumping other players.

EDIT: PS, i'm not saying hes terrible because if were all being honest with ourselves, Lovers and haters alike....Lawbringer is the best tank for getting jumped. LOL but what mad f*** is running into crowds looking to get jumped? Example of this is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZctZSBHSUE
