General/Other The Deathstroke Anti-Nerf Coalition

[RYX]

DS players: pick up a pocket Sinestro now. That way when DS gets smacked with the NERF bat- you can still play the same game.

They don't even zone alike lol

I did too. I just don't look at a game and think, "I SUCK AT DEALING WITH THIS! NERF THE GAME!"

I suck vs Hawkgirl, she should be nerfed :v

 

[Soul Bound X]

Problem with the character is a majority of its players who will just get into a corner and shoot. Guns, guns, guns all day loooong...

Do not blame others for the fate of DS, blame the kids who just spam gunfire all day long, forsaking all other moves. Sounds to me instead of stretching out the coalition of DS, you need to police up your own scrub players.

nothing wrong with doing the same move if the other person doesnt know how to deal with it

Ryx: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If my character was getting blown up and I feared nerfs I'd start exploring the MU myself and make the case for why it's fine. You could argue you shouldn't have to do that but if you truly fear nerfs that's the path I take.

So far everyone is just screaming to level up and giving vague advice or saying stuff like "just walk forward and block".

It's too soon for any of these to be done, from match up analysis to demanding nerfs.

It needs time.

Not much pushback on his guns, and very punishable. Why are people making a big deal out of DS?

Let the game evolve.

I'm frustrated with all these people making a big deal when its just what you stated. If deathstroke isn't 3/4 and/or full screen away, DS has to respect reversals, punishes and interrupts. I respect and understand that its easy to get annoyed and inpatient dealing with DS at full screen but why does he have guns if not to use them at a safe distance. I'm new to this FGC and it pains me to see how early in the game's lifespan there is a failure to want to adapt.

Well then DS supporters can stop stoking the flames by yelling to level up and deal with it and begin the process of figuring it out.

I'm still very confused as to why a Kitana AND Kenshi player are being so vocal about this character. Maybe I just remember how difficult it was to approach them? Certainly never asked for them to be nerfed -- though Kenshi's armored telekinetic barrage was a little bit "brainless" -- is that the term that people use to discredit character tools?

I used to host a regular podcast and one of the main topics was tips on how to beat Kitana. I've probably provided more information on how to beat Kitana than anyone else on TYM.

Is the online netcode a problem against DS zoning ? If yes, they should buff it.

Well, if you have the ability to do that with Kitana, why aren't you doing it with DS? The trainer actually works in Injustice as well. I'm sure that your problem solving would be appreciated by the community.

Or we could also downplay the character, deceive the community for years, and cry and demand props...

Kind of like what you have been doing in your MK career.

 

[I$AAC]

I've seen what they did with Kank, IWILL NOT allow this to happen to deathstroke. Sign me up!!

 

[Vagrant]

I'll be in the lab all week this week. No one will know this char better than me when I'm done. Afterwards I'll tell EVERYONE how to beat him on the 5-5 show and field every last fucking question people have.

I've been trying to figure out the MU. Whatever I find I'd post.

In the end I was vindicated. Who still has Kitana in their top 5? I'm sorry you're still free to d+1~cutter and jk~fan.

 

[TWOFACE_23]

I dont play him but he shouldnt get nerfed..

I'm just saying. You, Pig of the Hut, etc have very large voices in the community -- more so than you all realize. When your response is, "he's broken", it just opens up the flood gates. You guys aren't shitty players. If you made the piece of garbage training mode paired with the piece of crap netcode somehow work for you then you can certainly do well with a functional training mode included in Injustice.

 

[REO]

Kenshi was ten times worse than Deathstroke. I didnt expect many from this community to carry around a bib and soiled diaper.

Free enough to beat you and place top 8 at Evolution 2012.

I said he was downplayed, I made no comment about anything else.

 

[Jeffreys]

What do you guts think of only nerfing DS's swordflip. Perhaps less pushback on block?

True. I had to hold that. But then your zoning got figured out and I've beaten you since. Including that time I bodied your whole team at Season's Beatings then the other time I bodied CoCo so bad they closed it down. Let's not forget all the times my teammates bodied you. So enjoy Deathstroke while you can. Maybe you can even get some early wins. In the end skill prevails and GGA will be your master.

The entire cast can punish it already.

Let me support my character as well. Long time DC favorite that I wanted to main since before this game dropped, and now that I can use him and he's great people want to take that away? Nonsense.

People, it's week 1. No one is comfortable with the movement system, blocking, and especially their own characters. Slade is thriving in this environment, but we need to look at the longevity of the game and how it's going to be played a year from now when people know what they are doing. This is exactly what happened to Sub Zero and Kano in MK9, we need to have learned our lesson already. Kano would be mid tier right now if he was left alone, but everyone cried he was super OP and now he is one of the two or three worst characters in MK9 with several 7-3s, and much worse. Stop thinking about the now and how much of a salty bitch you are, think about the longevity of the game and how Slade is going to perform a year from now. I am thinking he won't even be top 5 (much less "BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME OMGZZZ GUISE), more like top 10.

And all this crying is just distracting you from truly retarded characters like Doomsday, Black Adam, and Killer Frost.

What's even funnier about this situation is two characters are designed to counter Slade; Raven and Ares. Pick one of them up if you are struggling so damn much. Ares and Raven are both a pain in the ass but we aren't crying for nerfs, and that carries out across the roster against such whores as Killer Frost.

tl;dr We all suck at this game and until we level up we shouldn't be making any balance changes, now let's work on getting better (ninja edit I don't want to sound mean).

I read over it and realize I sound mad, but I've already experienced this process with Sub Zero. I really don't want to do that again.

You're arguing with someone who may quite possibly end up maining a character that is better than Deathstroke down the road.

When you're constantly defending characters like Killer Frost and Wonder Woman while tearing about Deathstroke it just goes to show you where the true agenda lies.
