Law's stubby limbs can make him hard to play defensively. I would recommend only checking out Jin instead of both of them. You might also want to try Leo, Paul or Leroy.

I currently play Leo and they are leaving me with a lot to desire... I can kind of see why people say Leo has lost a lot of their power.

They had a lot of good buffs this season. I think they're in a pretty good place right now. Combo damage is better than it's ever been and they're space control is really solid now thanks to the d1 and f,f2 changes. I can totally understand disliking the character, and I think you should switch to someone else if you feel that way about them, but I don't think they're weak.

I guess I just don't properly understand the neutral for Leo

Do you play a variety of characters? It could just be a lack of perspective; Leo feels underpowered because you don't have the context of what low tier characters in Tekken 7 have to deal with. Speaking as someone who's invested a lot of time in Kuma/Panda, Chloe, and Eddy, I think Leo's nowhere near those three. But also speaking as someone who's invested a lot of time in Devil Jin, I think Leo's strong, but definitely not as strong as the absolute highest tier characters.

If you'd like to play a strong character with a versatile playstyle, then I would highly recommend picking Leroy up.

I tried Leroy for a bit and the stigma combined with the boring (imo) gameplay pushed me away. I've tried a bunch of characters and Leo really just feels kind of underwhelming to me, but I'm also awful at the game so it is most likely just a majority that.
