Boon tweets Balance improvements/Buffs for Lex Luthor

[rev0lver]

Who gives a fuck about his placement when a first minute superman can special his way for a win?

I think the superman matchup's already winnable. When he gets normalized it'll be fine.

Wtf does "now always makes the victim react" even mean????

All I can think of is when a bumble bee or a wasp lands on your nose or fire ants in your pants

You're an idiot.
























































Didn't think of that one!

Rampage254 with that controversial decision win.

Time to reverse engineer this shit! science.gif

I feel that you may never have actually used Lex. I am by no means a good Lex player but even I can consistantly get those probes out.

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...

Yeah, you're right, I don't use Lex. Let me know how your probes do against zoners and give me the list of those garbage players.

LOL this thread

Lex is a dangerous character to buff. Even making his dash better is a very dangerous thing. We'll all have to see what that probe thing is but it sounds like more of a fix to me, idk.

Bright Side:

1. Either way, Lex will get better just because many of his absolute worst matchups will get nerfed.

2. At least he didn't get nerfed AGAIN lol

 

[Soulofsuikoden]

...so Superman can still spam heat zap and Lex has no answer but to walk to get in...where is my dash buff? This is what happens when we don't whine. I am filled with mild mannered anger right now. Super working on Aquaman is not a buff, it's a bug fix.

No idea what the probe buff is suppose to be. I am sad as shit right now.

BET YOU ANYTHING I COULD PROBE YOU!

 

[JustPressingButtons]

Pls stream this.

 

[nightw0lf]

BET YOU ANYTHING I COULD PROBE YOU!

ACTUALLY I'LL MB PROB YOU. TWO PROBES AT THE SAME TIME.

 

[JustPressingButtons]

There's no need to quote your own post.

 

[nightw0lf]

Sorry just excited because I think Lex is the best character. Ever since that Kryptonite Academy tutorial I have dropped Batman for Lex and am never looking back. Probes ftw.

 

[MoldMan]

Lol aquaman fix . This has been on since launch? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

OW MUCH MORE DMG? whoever writes these needs to be fired

 

[RunwayMafia]

At this point, I'm more interested/curious about what potential nerfs will be handed to Superman, Black Adam, Aqua. These "buffs" just don't seem balance worthy...idk.

 

[Spinky]

Uh... will these actually help him at all...?

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

lol more vague patch notes making this patch seem...worse than i was imagining. why not just give actual details of what youre doing? they gave frame data changes and stuff before... this means nothing to me. same thing with the cyborg teaser

 

[Pterodactyl]

Eh.

I think I might be done with this game for a long while now, well I already was, but now for real.

 

[nightw0lf]

Ed Boon forgot to add the real buff they gave Lex in the patch:
- Rudy now collects the suit twice as fast.
BUFFRUDY!

 

[Qwark28]

plot twist

her name is actually Trudy

 

[OnlineRon91]

Boon is probably being extremely vague because
1. The major target audience is casuals so he is making these changes as basic as possible
2. The changes are headed in this general direction and they haven't landed on specific numbers yet. Will Lance Blast be doing 2% more? 4% more? The details might not be finalized.

I am thinking a combination of the two.

 

[miloPKL]

im happy everyone seems to have decided one what the fuck that probe normalization is really supposed to mean as it is completely ambiguous.

the super becoming untraitable by aquaman and the lance damage are normalizations.

the only potential buff we have here is ... we don't know because the patch note is in the form of a cryptic clue. we really need to get an official word about what this even means before i can say im happy with the patch.

edit: as far as i am concerned the 999 frame startup on probe already guarantees your opponent will react [and punish] your probe attempt. as that patch note reads, it could describe the probe as it is right now. thats how little information it is. when was the last time you used a probe and the 'victim' didn't react?

one idea just came to me, maybe it means the probe will always spawn even if you are interrupted. that may be nice.

edit 2: and what will this mean for lex setups? will the probe knockdown or put into hitstun [if it is unblockable]... the truth is out there.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Now...where in the flying fuck are Ares' buffs?

 

[Everlast]

damn so much animosity!!
