The problem with the AoE Thunder-element attacks is that they're the only way Laggy can continue to be a threat in MH Gen. If they just copy-and-pasted Laggy from 3U to this game, he'd be a total joke even without Adept. That's what happens when you take an aquatic monster and throw it onto land where it can't put up a fight.

I think I'd rather face that unavoidable Double Underwater Hip Check, personally.
