Jacob '''Lash''' is an asshole, and a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Lash is a brutal bruiser who eagerly initiates fights and chases down fleeing opponents. He leaps into combat with his Grappling hook, Flogging his foes with a life-stealing whip and stomping the ground with a Ground Strike that damages multiple targets. If the enemy team groups up, Lash can pick them all up at once and Death Slam them into the ground.

A champion of the [[Bear Pit]], an underground fight club, The Lash has built a reputation as a tough and unsavoury character.

== Trivia ==
* Jacob Lash is an asshole.
** This was the tagline for ''Deadlock'' in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/641297020996289523 Steam Replay 2024].
* Lash’s parry animation was changed after streamer JoeyCheerio shared feedback during a livestream that was being watched by Valve Senior Animator [[Jamaal Bradley]]. He suggested the move should feel more like a heavy, belly-first chest smash, similar to King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The updated animation was introduced in a later patch, with Bradley stating "we appreciate our players".<ref name="CheerioParry">{{YouTubeCite|v-2-x78d5pA|I'm the reason Valve changed Lash's Parry}}</ref>
* Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese localization as '''"Chico T.",''' a pun on the word "chicote" ("whip").
* Lash's voice line that he "used to do an uppercut" seems to be a reference to a datamined unused ability of his, named "Shoryuken" in reference to ''[[wikipedia:Street_Fighter|Street Fighter]]''.
* "Thinking About Lash in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lash in the [[Hideout]].
* Lash's killstreak voice line ''"Winning's my business and business is good"'' is a possible reference to the Megadeth song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-4WeOqSXSc ''Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!''].
* Lash's Ground Strike upgrade voice line ''"They're about to learn that their arms are too short to box with god"'' is a possible reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRWG0mg3tHE a quote] by pro wrestler [[wikipedia:CM_Punk|CM Punk]] to The Rock in ''WWE''. The phrase was popularized by the 1976 Broadway musical ''[[wikipedia:Your_Arms_Too_Short_to_Box_with_God|Your Arms Too Short to Box with God]].''

~2026-ResistInfuserFortitude207: New feedback submitted

The article uses the term "multiplicatively" incorrectly.

In general, multiplicative stacking results in greater increases (or decreases) than additive stacking when dealing with positive percentages, because each modifier amplifies the effect of the others.

* {{HeroIcon|Paradox}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}}
* {{ItemIcon|Mystic Shot}}
* {{ItemIcon|Lucky Shot}}
