As the title asks, who is the worst designed character in your opinion? Doesn't matter if they're a good character or not.

For me, it's Deathstroke hands down. Take a bad-ass character with an arsenal of weapons and skills and just give him THE MOST generic specials in the game... what the hell was NRS thinking?

Abilities
  • Tactical Analysis: Slade is a great strategist and tactician. Always calculating his opponents moves before hand; he even single handedly defeated the JLA roster that lacked the "Big Three". He has been compared to Batman in terms of tactical methods. Even against metahumans he has proven more than a match for them all at once with time to prepare. Roy Harper once claimed the Slade was, "The worlds greatest tactician." Using his superior problem-solving skills, Deathstroke can work out a battle ahead of time for many possibilities and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience on a moment's notice.
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Slade trained in hand-to-hand combat and when he was in the Army, he proved himself to be one of their best fighters. Later he received martial arts training in various styles. After mastering these martial arts he furthered his studies when he sought an assassin known as Natas to train him in the ways of Ninja and had studied assassination techniques. His physical prowess is so great that he has defeated Batman in hand to hand combat.[6]
Swordsmanship: Deathstroke is a highly trained swordsman; he is able to dual-wield a pair of katanas and to use them with deadly accuracy and an almost-superhuman speed.
NRS couldn't have integrated any of THIS into his gameplay? No, they just gave him a generic sword flip, generic sword spin, and typical gun moves. And there is nothing in his gameplay that makes me feel like I'm playing Deathstroke, just feels like some random gunman with a sword.

Play Monster Hunter!
Killer Frost by a country mile.

Everything about her is ultra generic.
Except her trait, which is awesome on paper, but meh in practice.

They should have found a way to make her trait work and balance her around it, instead of balancing her around that really god damn annoying slide.

Visually, she looks nice, pretty for a NRS girl, and both costumes are great. However her specials are lacking, just feel very weak compared to other ice characters.

I couldn't disagree more. The fact is DS can handle any character and handle any situation in this game. His quickfire is so fast he can AA people full screen on reaction which makes you feel godlike. Between quickfire, sword flip 132, and d1 he can punish almost everything in the game that can be punished, which gives you that feeling of 'knowing what your opponent was doing before they did' with simple block and punish tactics. His b+1u3, f+3, 323, b23f+2, 123, all look pretty badass to me and make him seem pretty 'ninja-like' in my eyes.

Slade is super intelligent...I don't think NRS can raise your IQ in the game, so if you wanna make DS seem like DS, then maybe don't play like an idiot spamming guns and sword special moves.

I voted Aquaman because in a game without footsies, he can play footsies. That's not cool. And his d2 is absolutely broken, which is hard to imagine (a normal being THAT broken) but it is. Other notable "what the?" character types in my book are Killer Frost (for her dash and alligator arms. only character who looks like her ground, air, and backdash were all nerfed before day 1 release.) Shazam (because he bodies the DC universe free and they didn't give him the respect he's due. This is the character we should have all been complaining about. Give him a teleport punch and more launchers and safe pokes and a better projectile and that's about right. Superman (because not a single person who worked on this game can say they could get around vanilla superman zoning, and they released him like that anyway. Actually this reason works for (Scorpion) (Deathstroke) and (Black Adam) too.

Wonder Woman. She could easily tear 99% of the roster in half if she wanted to yet they didn't do that justice. Bracelets are rather useless and can't even be used in air. If lasers can be done in air, so should bracelets imo. Idk, for one of the biggest powerhouses in the DC universe, they did not do her justice. The fact that she can't even fly or anything in sword stance was wack af too, let alone do some real damage in that stance
