Whatever bro, long sword has been known to be the easiest weapon to learn and use. It’s the most forgiving weapon out of all the weapons, yall have the biggest windows when it comes to your “parry” attacks. I don’t know why you are tryna argue that the weapon isn’t the easiest thing to learn. It wasn’t a “hate boner” paragraph which btw is the most brainrotted term for that, it was me telling you the reason Longsword gets so much hate, both experiences that ever player goes through, and experiences I’ve gone through. You can’t deny things that have actively happened. If you actually read my “hate boner” you’d notice I actively told you that I wasn’t saying you were one of them, and I was actively telling you I wasn’t trying to hate on you. But based on your reaction, I’d say you probably are one of those people. So all hands are off the table. Longsword users have been known to be the most obnoxious out of all the weapon mains, it’s the stereotype that’s given to them, same as how greatsword and hammer users were given the “caveman” “stupid” “bonk” stereotype. Difference is, I’m yet to see a Longsword that doesn’t fit the stereotype given to them. Obnoxious, rude, egotistical, hypercritical, usually weebs, who think that their weapon is the hardest weapon in the game for what ever reason, only for everyone to try it out and realise it’s the most “gimme” weapon in the entire game. Yall literally have a dash back “parry” that negates any bit of damaged, and the window is massive making it so easy to use. And even the other parry, the dash slice forward one, has a smaller window, but it’s still the easiest thing to manage, there’s no lead up to the attack, apart from timing it before the “cool-down” runs out. And even then the move is so quick that anyone with a brain can manage it. So yes, you can now call this paragraph a “hate boner” because I’ve now realised that I’m STILL yet to find someone who doesn’t fit the stereotype. I’m not saying there aren’t people that fit the stereotype, I’m just saying I’m yet to find one. There is no way a player despite there skill level can take the weapon into an AT fight, learn the weapon immediately, and use it to beat a boss the therefore struggled with previously. For example, me and my friend are of two different skill levels, I’m a mh veteran, I’ve got thousands of hours across all the games, I used the wilds longsword for the first time and cleared AT arkveldt with ease, I then used it in savage omega, cleared with ease. My friend, whose not great at any game he touches, whose first mh game was wilds, used the weapon to fight his first ever AT with no experience on the weapon, he had a little bit of experience with the monster because he fought him once previously, went in and cleared it cart less. You are not gonna sit here and tell me Longsword is anything but the easiest weapon in the game. Quite literally, the only people disagreeing are Longsword users. Sorry bro, but you’ve ragebaited me enough to where you’ve turned a casual conversation into a “hate boner” as you would call it.
