There's the crazy amount of 50/50 , set-up based, super strong zoning or rushing characters. And then there's Kitana...
But that's not a bad thing at all. I've always wondered why Kitana wasn't given the special treatment that literally 90% of the cast has, but at the same time, I'm glad she didn't get it. She legit has her own meta. It's almost to the point that she doesn't "fit" in the game because she plays so differently from everyone else.
No set ups, no 50-50s, no run cancels, no insane pressure or zoning, yet somehow she's still a good character imo. She's EXTREMELY honest and takes skill to use. I'm not saying she's hard to pick up or anything like that, but she's not the character that relies on KDs into 50/50s into corner into death. She plays her own game and that's why I like her so much.
As for the recent comments of her being bottom 10, I really don't care. NO ONE bodies her (except HQT), yet she doesn't body anyone either. I feel like she can compete with whoever. I have fun with her and I win with her so that's all that matters to me.
As for buffs go, I truly don't think she needs any. We got all the REASONABLE buffs we asked for. The nerfs she got were very understandable and didn't ruin her at all (r.i.p tanya). I'm hearing there's a patch after Evo and I wouldn't be upset if she went untouched. The only thing I can see her getting is f2 being OH while sharpen is active. Other than that, I think she's fine.
My honest thoughts.
