I'll put what your saying into Displacer raiden and see if you think it makes sense. "If you know that the only thing this variation has is the teleport and is unsafe, then shouldn't you just not use it?" So how does that sound now? Raidens teleport variation has the most punishable teleport in the game, and instead of asking for buffs we should just "not use it"?Then should you not use it when it is guaranteed as a punisher or in a combo ender?
If it is punished by certain members of the cast, then why are you using it in an unsafe situation?
If you know that they are going to punish it on block then why are you using it while they are blocking?
I'm not saying don't use it at all against those that can punish it. I'm saying to use it to where you can't get punished
Is your gameplay really relying on throwing it out in the hopes that they let go of the block button or that they don't know the gaps?
Don't we all know there are gaps in this game?
My point being is if the whole reason to use a variation is punishable or not good, than yes it needs buffed and shouldn't just be not used.
