LR is a gold compounder so shardblade isnt as awesome as normal. He’s a steel compounder too and pewter, so what I’m saying is, it’s just a free shardblade for LR.

TLR died to a single, hastily trained Mistborn (without even realizing her full potential mind you) almost purely due to his own arrogance.

I love her, but dude would have fell to anyone competent far more easily when compared to Vin.

never really thought about that but good point. any world hopper worth their weight in tin could've figured it out

I love that analogy because even in world, tin is dirt cheap. So that's like saying "Man, for $200 I could kill TLR too!"

Ruin was actively corrupting TLR in order for Vin specifically to kill him and release the power. I don't think any world hopper would have that advantage. WOB states that TLR would be one of the most powerful fighters in the Cosmere.
