As an Xbox player I feel like lock on is only detrimental
Just to clarify, I’m not some rank 5 on leaderboard player, I’m mediocre best and don’t play jjs competitively.
When I started playing JJS I heavily relied on lock on and I believe it only stunted my growth and it’s probably the same for a lot of others, it’s a crutch because it’s so easy and any good player can run circles around someone who relied on lock on.
But it’s also hurting character like todo, gojo Naoya to have a button that removes a lot of the skill expression that their special has, by just having a button that always keeps you focused on them. When at least I play todo I find it not even worth trying to use his swaps against someone who has lock on or trying to do any interesting teleport stuff with Naoya since it’s more effort than it’s worth
But if you Really wanted to keep it, just give it to mobile then, since I’d argue out of every platform you can play it’s the one that needs it.
