It's perfectly possible that Lao will be fixed for MHXX. Shen was fixed for Online, after all. And that's a game that's notorious for having bad and clunky gameplay.

All they really need to do is make Lao have a couple of attacks that go after the hunter. Sure, it's running away from Fatalis, but that doesn't mean it should ignore some guy smacking it in the face with a hammer.
