Perfect Legend

I'm really tired of hearing about how great of a character Kung Lao is and this is ONLY coming from me winning evolution or placing well at tournaments I have attended.
His only argument for being whatever is "OMG HIS MOVEMENT IS SO GOOD HE CAN GET IN NO PROBLEM"
Yes Kung Lao can get in no problem but when he gets you can d3 all of his options besides spin.
Before Foxy comes in here and says "well u can play bird lao and do this" Bird Lao doesn't work versus opponents that block and are actually good at the game. I'm tired of hearing about dive kicking and teleporting like crazy. You do realize I am the one who starter this style and every KL player pretty much just copied what I do right? Please stop telling me to basically use my own style of play with him.
What do you do when your dive kicks and spins start getting blocked? What do you do when your 1's and 2's get ducked and now you are at a disadvantage and get counter poked by a safe combo starter?
There is nothing you can do. b33 is fucking ass the opponent blocks it and they can get free pressure everytime its -8 and some chars can punish it unless I just go right into a special move. And no you cannot hit confirm b33 into spin for a combo. Next person who says that when I see you at a tournament I will bet you $100 you will not hit confirm and see when the 2nd 3 hits and confirm that hit into spin. You have to do it full speed.
Roll is also ass don't tell me about his mobility when all of his mobile options are unsafe as hell and easily punishable.
Kung Lao has all the same problems as night wolf when he is up close trying to get damage but all he has is spin to hit you for trying to do low pokes.
The way he was prepatch he needed that. He needed his low hat the way it was and he needed Spin the way it was supposed to be. If Cyrax can keep a damn command grab that you can barely break on reaction half the time and 100% combos then kung lao definitely needs the shit he had before.
The only reason Kung Lao looks so good is because I make good reads. Take away good reads and he can't win from being solid cause he doesn't have any solid tools all he can do is whiff punish but if you give him nothing to whiff punish then what? Exactly he cant create opportunities he can only beat the opponent if they don't know how to abuse crouch on him.
And for all the people saying Kung Lao is so good I haven't seen one person do well with using him alone in a major tournament or place high in a major with using just him not once.
You can say he is good by using him against his only good matchups yes obviously but all of this Kung Lao uplayers use chars like Kitana, Sonya, Cyrax, Cage, Kabal. Seriously all the chars that pretty much beat him? Hilarious.
