MKX Hotfix 6-1-15

Lmao a lot of Erron blacks complaining like chill that ain't the only hard knock down

Your Outlaw variation gives you one that's exclusive with dot

Just pick when to corner carry/oki & choose your ender
Problem is it's giving us less reasons to use other variations. The nerf puts Outlaw well ahead of Marksman, whereas previously they were both as viable as eachother. Gunslinger just needs a revamp.

So you're saying we have the balance changes listed earlier today? The buffs to kenshi and kotal, etc, or is that in the hotfix later today? because I've read a couple posts saying PC is still a few balance patchs behind, though they do have Tanya, just not the balance changes

We're 100% caught up except for the Hot Fix, which Ed Boon has said on twitter will be here later today for us.

agreed, even though I mained outlaw, I still feel bad for the marksman/gunslinger players. This nerf was not needed imo

I mean, the sand toss recovery frames doesn't even make sense. Was it really that hard to punish before?

40 Percent Punish
Ironically, as you don't play TG, it's you who knows nothing about this character
1) you would realize that there was and still is literally no point in playing anything else than TG
2) There is no such thing as punishable by throw in TG's arsenal
3)6 frame normal which hits ppl from crouching to cross up state, has to change however you look at it
1. I play all three variations 2. Just look up the interview its probably still on the front page.
3. I agree it wasn't ok for TG to have it. For him it can lock you down if you get opened up its like 40% but in the other variations there's nothing else but a hard knockdown, an orb set-up, or shocker that doesn't even get you to 30%. If the issue was frame bullying or how abusable the move was then there were other ways to go about it.

At the time of MK9 people could deal with JC frametraps, Kabal's NDCs and so on. Now they are so lazy that do not want to go into the game instead, just they cry for nerfs like a babies.
 

Youphemism

Gunslinger since pre patch (sh/out to The Farmer)
Entitled players of top 10 characters complaining about nerfs are the worst. Your character is still fine.

THANK GOD JACQUI GOT FIXESSSSS

BALANCED
I've been at work all day, and don't actually have the kombat pack. Can anyone tell me if the hotfix is on ps4 yet? I really can't wait to try kenshi after some of the changes.

Pew pew pew
I would like to personally thank everyone who posted a hilarious gif or witty one liner in this thread because I've been laughing my ass off reading/watching most of them. I look forward to TYM's brilliant reactions to balance changes as much as the actual changes themselves.

What makes you think outlaw is way better than marksman now? All we lost is some midscreen oki. We still have his awesome pressure, safe mixups and damage. I think marksman is still going to be hella good.
