This patch does ZERO for his bad match ups...
1. Apparently, there's way more being done, so this is just a bit of what is actually being done.

2. Judging by how "big" this patch is supposed to be, EVERYONE is getting touched in some way, even his bad matchups.

3. So what if he doesn't get stuff to fix his bad matchups? It's too obvious that this balance patch isn't based around condensing matchups. What it is showing is that most of the changes done are to accent the character's current playstyle, meaning most of the changes buff the strong points or nerf weak points, while doing either minor or no touches to the opposite end, unless said points ruin or do not as negatively affect said character, regardless of the other characters in the game. Not every game is going to be void of bad matchups. The designs of characters are too varied and hit-or-miss on how well they fit into the game itself. And that's not just a problem of Injustice...that applies to practically EVERY other fighting game out there.

TL;DR - Stop worrying about individual changes affecting matchups, because chances are, the many other changes the rest of the cast receives will affect the matchups. Either way, some designs just destroy others.

If Lex/Joker really have a bunch of awesome buffs hidden away then what in the flying fuck is NRS thinking? Why show us a bunch of underwhelming buffs and keep the good stuff hidden? If you believe this then you believe they are using misdirection. To what end?

To piss us off? Mission a-fucking-complished. They have given no hint that they intend to nerf the high tiers, the opposite in fact could be said.

I'm 100% serious. Lex is still underexplored. This + nerfing top tiers could make him a solid mid tier at the least.

Also Tom Brady told me before that Aquaman should be able to trait his super and I should adjust.

definitely the biggest buff that he needed was for the god tier chars to be nerfed, haha.

Lol...ohhhh Tom. Well, if you are being serious (for which I can never tell), then I'll take your word for it. He's a nightmare for HG so I don't really know what he needs and doesn't need. *shrugs shoulders*
