Boon tweets Balance improvements/Buffs for Lex Luthor

Why the fuck are these updates always so ambiguous?

"Makes the opponent react".

The fuck does that mean? They might as well have said it was "normalized". You'd almost think English isn't their first language at NRS. It reminds me of reading the patch update changes for Tekken or Soulcalibur after it was translated. No one really knew what the hell anything meant even after reading it.

I hope this patch comes soon because I'm quickly losing interest....especially with GTA5 out. But hey...they have my money already, so who cares?

The probe issue IMO is that it is too slow to deploy and when you get hit at the end of the animation it won't come out. Level1 trait fix would have been nice. The blast fixes are better than nothing I suppose, but it's nothing to get excited about reading..

Also lol @ specific buffs to fighting aquaman. Yeah that character is balanced.
tbh they should've checked stuff with his super since his is the only multi-hit one in the game. i wish they just made it so that if the first hit hits the rest do too. sometimes if you combo into it the last hit will whiff

Searching for an alt.
These are pretty helpful. Am I the only one who thinks these are being put out early to test our reactions before finalizing them?

The lance blast was so needed. That projectile was a joke. Also I had no idea Aquaman could escape his super lol.

Oh NRS...

What a fucking joke. Are you people stupid? Yeah, I thought so which is why I barely play this game now.

"Lex is top tier now!" This will be said at every possible offline event and stream...

1. Who the hell uses the super with a character that is beyond meter dependent?!

2. Probe is maybe inescapable? That's cool...IF HIS BAD MATCH UPS ALLOWED HIM TO GET HIS 1000 frame probe out!

3.Yay the lance does more damage, but your opponent will be in your face before you even get it back in your pocket...

This patch does ZERO for his bad match ups...

Ares is the only other character that the consensus really call " low tier" i wonder how many of these they are gonna show. Gimmee the damn patch already.

imo yes. Lex is a good character. I feel like a lot of the "low" tiers in this game just need more work put into them and more representation. It's still sort of early in the game's life and he has a lot of depth.
Who gives a fuck about his placement when a first minute superman can special his way for a win?
