Who do you think is taking the biggest step up?

Lobo & Ares. Zatanna is going to have a very good corner game now, but overall she is the same character, just a bitch in the corner

The Arrow buff is great. If the second hit of Stinger is still a high you wont need to worry about it being a high low mixup as you can essentially just crouch block the whole thing. The big thing though is it'll make his approach safe on block to start his awesome F2d13 mixups. Thats where you will feel mixup pressure from and him having a solid way to start that pressure is a big thing for him.

I think the most notable increases as threats will be:

  • Green Arrow-because he has a pretty solid way to start his game now and he was already a threat. Now he's going to be a bigger challenge
  • Ares- the teleport buff is going to make him more mobile and it will help him a lot
  • Bane-he now has health buffs during Venom to negate his debuff problems outside of Venom, plus the MB Venom Uppercut on whif or block can lead to some interesting space control for him. His comeback factor was already huge but now its even scarier.
  • Lobo-he's going to rise up a lot. 2 hits of armor on hook charge will put him in your face. As a Bane player I can see how scary this tool will become in the right hands as an armored approach. Plus the 2 nuke shells on trait, increased damage on second hit, and increased pump shot range during trait all spell out increased combo/damage potential if he can get in. Expect a lot of aggressive Lobo soon.
Green Arrow and Lobo are the biggest threat increases in my eyes. Giving GA a way to setup his pressure game more easily is pretty huge for him as he mainly was a punish character with crossups who had issues starting his better combos off his best approaches. Now he has a safe on block way in to setup his best strings from anywhere and not just off of ice arrow confirms. Lobo is going to get aggressive. He may be worth checking out.

Losing is learning; winning is succeeding.
I would definitely say Lobo & as some others have already said, as someone who plays him regularly, it's kind of sad that people are going to think that I'm on the bandwagon.

I think Lex of all characters has been largely underrated & apparently still is, which is a shame. His staff charge is going to do far more damage, which will make up for its slow start-up & make it viable for trades. His probe will enable him to continue his combos more effectively without having to rely on MB vacuum too. In addition, he's going to have positive hit-box adjustments that are going to make it easier for him to hit his opponents where he's supposed to. Don't be fooled, Lex is someone to look out for (& to be feared).

Sticking with my Bane prediction. That MB Venom Uppercut's dropkick stays out all the way back down. Im gonna check its frames and for crossups tomorrow.

Ares. I am however curious to see how much new tech comes along with lex probes.
Could be a game changer for extending big damage combos. Plus his strings might actually hit people now

Definitely Joker. He will step up as king of bottom tier. No seriously it's pretty unanimous, Lobo will be no joke.

I'm glad Ares, your God of War, is getting a buff. I REALLY wanted to use him, I love teleports [used your Thunder God Raiden in MK9] and look forward with great eagerness to try out this new and improved god.

Bored with WoWo, Ares seems like a good one to try now.

Mid Tier
Lobo is taking the biggest step up here.

Arrows bad match ups like Batman and BA are only getting better because of their nerfs not his buffs. Aquaman match up won't change one bit.

But I can't complain, buffs are buffs, and I'll take em. Makes somethings we already do easier, just won't be able to use MB Stinger as a way in until people are good enough to block low then high, I assume they will learn this 3 - 4 months after they can finally figure out how to block F2D13, I expect that day to be soon, maybe by Christmas.

Sucks that we can't slide under Zatanas flame ball anymore, lol that was always fun to mess their days.

Largest movement probably Lobo, but most meaningful movement probably GL Flash WW Batgirl. They were already at the top tier level and got hurt the least in the patch wave. This is great though since the tiers seems to be tighter after patch overall.

Now let's not get confused here, darlings.
Though Lobo has taken a mighty step up. He is still pretty low in regards to tiers. Lowermiddle? I dunno.
But, hey. Ding dong, the high councillor's dead.

Lobo felt tight today. Couldn't keep him out no matter what I did and he's got those lows and the gunrange making him a really decent threat at most distances. He's pretty hard to react to now with the changes they gave him. Dude is gonna rise IMO.

Dude Lobo is amazing now, I think you still have that low tier no options mentality. But now Lobo has options, and a hell lot of them.

Lobo and Joker. And Ares.

Lex took the biggest step down all the way to bottom.

Edit: I guess 2 or 4 positions isn't really a big step.

Lobo felt so good today. Twenty fucking eight percent near full screen projectile. Increased damage on combos. Faster hookcharge and it's overhead. The new MMH teleport is fucked up too.
