Boon tweets Balance improvements/Buffs for Lex Luthor

[PND_Ketchup]

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

Oh NRS...

CLEARLY YOU NEVER SAW THE VIDEO I MADE AT LAUNCH

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

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

Trust me.. It will

 

[its_ezie]

wtf do they mean it forces a reaction? is it gonna make me jump it or somethin?

 

[nightw0lf]

DUH... don't drop probes until you have trait up.

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.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Lol NRS is so ridiculous.

If you are going to tease with patch notes at least make them actual patch notes. These mean nothing in their current state.

 

[Rathalos]

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.

No, the patch is already done and finalish.

Hector was teasing writing up in depth patch notes like 2 weeks ago.

I was unaware of that, thanks for the heads up. Then it must be my first suspicion. I wonder what's taking so long then ugh.

 

[Wemfs]

I am very happy with these minor yet necessary changes.

 

[JustPressingButtons]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if NRS Never releases this patch. I don't want to play a game right now if I know if it's going to be greatly altered.

NRS is doing a shitty job. Just release everyone's full patch notes already.

 

[Rathalos]

Patch has to go through Microsoft and Sony certification, and that can takes weeks.

Either that or they are holding the patch back because there are more DLC characters, but I kinda doubt it at this point.

 

[ShadowBeatz]

Whenever I see a Lex Probe, I'm still not going to react.

Suck it NRS

 

[miloPKL]

I am very happy with these minor yet necessary changes.

how are they necessary? because of all the supers you use on aquaman? lex is very meter dependent for his setups and his damage. tell me between missile setups and pushblocking into mines when will you have the opportunity to waste 4 bars on a super that nets you 1-bar BNB damage?

the lance blast increase as i mentioned is much more a normalization, the lex forum has been anticipating the correction to its damage for some time, its a similar case to the damage lex d2 did before the buff. so yes the correction was necessary but again not really a buff.

it all hinges on the probe buff and whatever the hell its going to do to force reactions

There might be a situation where Lex's super could win a match. Simple as that. So yeah, I still think they are all necessary.

 

[chessmaster]

When is the patch coming? I'm getting sick of these tweets? And tweets sounds so fucking lame.

 

[rev0lver]

Yeah. I don't know why not to use it if you can. If there's something you can react to and it will kill then super.

 

[nightw0lf]

guys, i am sorry to tell you this, but Lex's probes have already forced reactions out of everyone today.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Yeah. I don't know why not to use it if you can. If there's something you can react to and it will kill then super.

Lex Luthor gotta embrace his inner Superman

Except the part where his super isnt 2 frames. Whoops.

 

[Soulofsuikoden]

NRS: Hey guys! Lex's lance doesn't do ass damage anymore and get this! His super ACTUALLY connects on Aquaman! 10-0 in Lex's favor clearly. These buffs obvious solve all Lex's bad match ups. Cyborg locking you down with iafb?

Just shoot your lance and watch as the extra damage stops him somehow. Can't dash between Superman's zap? Just throw a probe and make him react! Remember this is just a taste!

Me: Well it tastes like ass.

 

[juicepouch]

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.

It was always my understanding that you only throw those probes out when you score a knockdown. For my lex it's usually knockdown then picking between probe/mine/trait

 

[miloPKL]

Yeah. I don't know why not to use it if you can. If there's something you can react to and it will kill then super.

Wemfs

im obviously not saying if it will win a game dont use it. but correcting this super so it works on an extra member of the cast 100% of the time instead of just half the time, is not a buff. its a fix for one match up in the game. the other changes will work against the whole cast, the lance increase and the probe, whatever that is. as far as i can see that will be the biggest change but we need clarification to what it really means.

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

Lmao, "makes the victim react", really? What the fuckin flying nun does that even mean? its gonna force a MB b3 on reaction or something?

"does MUCH more damage", yeah thanks NRS, coz i was worried you're gonna be vague with these notes..


I hope the rest of the patch notes arent as retarded as these -__-

 

[Wemfs]

Buff, fix, normalization, w/e you want to call it. I don't care. I think it was necessary.

 

[BDMao88]

Situational, doesn't hurt to try to get a probe up full screen in order to trait dash rush down.

You would be disappointed
