Dude i got respect for my fellow Kano players but you gotta look at the big picture, and its not a issue with damage, its an issue with Kano's lack luster skills in both zoning and rushdown. Before all this patching started Kano was zoning. Im not gonna do a big synopsis on what made him excel in that department.
The point im making is that he is lack luster in both zoning and rush. So what this patch should do, if they even plan on buffing the guy, is make a choice at which style he will excel in. Right now i have no issue with Kano aside from the from the recovery of his knifes.

Buffs:
Kano: Give him his pre-patch knife toss, ....OR....make choke not whiff on crouch block. This will allow him to be more dangerous with up close pressure and help him build meter with block strings into choke.
Everyone else: Dont use these characters enough to give a full synopsis on what they need. These are the weakest Characters in the game, and need something to help them compete, everyone else in the game is fine. Im tired of stupid nerfs to the tools we the players take time to learn. Your killing our creativity by removing something as simple as D+4 for Sub-zero, or altering Mileena's Low kick cuz REO took it to grand finals.
Nerf:
Kung Lao: Have low hat have less frame advantage but not too much that it kills the characters rushdown mix ups. I actually enjoy a challenge in this game, its not all about free wins.
Reptile: Make blocked Elbow dash more noticable, not Nomad dash noticable, but give me a louder sound when i block it or something. i cant tell if i should punish or get ready to tech a throw when he dashes at me. lol
