Now, I am happy that NRS has been showing constant support to their title, consistently attending community events and looking after the longevity of their game after it came out, however, there are a few issues that must be brought up regarding their patches.
While I do agree that yes, certain things should be patched out (Freddy, Cyrax resets, any kind of broken or glitched element), but I also think that they should hold back with the volume of the patches and hotfixes. Sure, some things must be balanced, but at the same time by consistently rolling out these patches NRS are not letting the community learn the match-ups, learn the characters, and in turn learn as to exactly what needs fixing and what is a manageable part of the game.
I don't think they listen to everyone, but at the same time, even some of the more respected community members have been caught bitching about certain characters needing buffs or nerfs and then either taking those same characters to the next level or exposing the so called "god-tier" characters with lower tier fighters. NRS can't just consistently push out this many patches because they're not letting the game grow into itself, people figure out strategies and how to get past certain things they're crying to remove. This kind of extra happy trigger finger on patches may often contribute to unnecessary buffs or nerfs (JC EX Shadow Kick Armor for example, or extreme frame fix on low hat).
What I'm trying to say here is that perhaps NRS needs a more level headed approach where the gamers actually learn the game, play the match-ups, find ways to fight strategies, not simply cry to have them removed. Sure, certain things have to go for balance sake, but in many cases they are introducing a number of very unnecessary adjustments that will not only force some players to completely reimagine how to play their characters, but also condition others to not have to adjust but just bitch and moan so NRS change certain things about the game rather than letting people learn.
What's your opinion.
