i wasnt talking about physical strength or speed, but direction of attack. just the fact that his melee attack comes from the left makes counter attack that much more difficult, any re-enactor will tell you. Your speed may be great, but blocking an attack from the left if you are wielding a weapon in your right makes it harder to bring your weapon into the basic stance you adopt from which you can attack or defend with equal ease. against another lefty or a dual wielder that slight advantage disappears. fighting a lefty makes defending more difficult so you focus more on killing him before he kills you, which may be the reason he adopted the left hand melee attack in the first place. his axiom is offence is the best defence simply because he's a World Eater. There is only the attack and this gives him an advantage against a shieldbearing coward.
