This whole recent barrage of whining for balance changes for our mains or saying "x is bottom 5/the worst character in the game now instead of kenshi" is dumb imo.
I'm not saying you aren't allowed to be vocal about a character's problems, the Jacqui forums spent plenty weeks cringing at a lot of her tools whiffing because of certain characters' breathing cycle animation and asking paulo to get it fixed due to how unplayable she was. And even though that's just bugs within a character, you can still talk about what you'd like for a change for your character. I've been saying on my streams that Erron's mixup from a blocked 11 is infinitely better than Johnny's blocked 11 mixup and that it should be toned down slightly in some way. I'm not gonna holler about that in every balance discussion thread/tweet/post/whatever, it's just something I feel should be toned down. Same goes for my thoughts on Goro, I've posted multiple times the changes I'd like in private discussions/talked about it on my stream/other streams with goro players that can play fighting games. I'm also not going to cry about him absolutely needing these buffs. Because I accept that the character can't be a god. I'm either going to stick with him or move on to obviously better characters than him.
We have to keep in mind before everything else when discussing balance for a single character or for the entire roster, a fighting game roster can't be filled with 100% super strong characters with everything under the sun and then some. Certain characters will still have flaws and issues at the end of the day. That's how it is, we can't just pray for Reptile's damage to get increased by 8% + have hit-confirmable 50/50's that lead to setups + have pressure for days + some of the best zoning in the game. It simply doesn't work like that. This is a fighting game, characters have strengths and weaknesses. You can't fully remove one of those traits without severely imbalancing the character for bad reasons (fish tier) or even worse reasons (literally untouchable, renders most useless).
Please also try to keep in mind we're still in the month-old period of the game. People are just barely optimizing combos, figuring out the real dirt of their character and shit. For all we know, there could be a character that flies under the radar and bodies everyone in the history of ever because we were too busy looking at broken character x and crying/feeling pity for people who main bad character y. Dvorah could potentially be ok-i-guess tier when the meta for the game evolves, some of these untapped variations could end up being the actual dominant variation in the long run, like Demo Sonya/Ruthless FT/Warlock Quan.
TL;DR: if a character struggles in an area, it's not the end of the world for you. Look for someone else, stay loyal to your character if you're too attached to them and make them work.
