Which good character's bad variation is going to get buffed the most?

[NorCalSamurai]

DISCLAIMER: The words good and bad are somewhat subjective this early in the game's life. The characters I'm referring to are the ones that as of right now have at least one variation that is considered or has been proven to be a solid, tournament viable option. High tier, mid-high, whatevs.

Everyone's talking about top ten characters. But each of these characters has three builds. And even the highest tier characters have variations that flat out are not worth using. I'd like to hear which character's weakest spec you think is going to get Kenshi style buffs in the next big patch. I'm not talking about the lower end of the ladder where all three variations have glaring issues, I'm talking about the mid to high tiers.

Notable contenders IMO:
Warlock Quan
Demolition Sonya
Hat Trick Kung Lao
Ethereal Mileena
Ancestral Kung Jin
Master of Storms Raiden
Spectral Ermac
Brood Mother D'vorah
Ninjutsu Scorpion

If I had to pick one, I'd want Hat Trick Lao. It was one of the variations that really popped out to me when the game was revealed and they showed him off, but when the game came out the mechanic felt out of place, and just didn't seem fast enough. It could be some killer top tier shit, but right now there's just no point.

The butthurt about EB & Scorpion are the worst, so probably them.

Sorceror quan?

I'm so f ing outta here

 

[jharris]

id like to say spectral ermac but i cant see how they could ever make it viable

 

[StormGoddess]

Ethereal Mileena hopefully

Wait. Is Sorcerer good? I've never seen it used in tournament, mentioned on here, or played against one online that wasn't terrible. Is Warlock the weakest? I see way more people playing Warlock than Sorc out of the two.

 

[Grs_Haze]

sorcerer quan is better than half the cast top variations

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

I would replace master of storms raiden with displacer raiden

You mean the one with free armor and Rune Traps?

Unbreakable pls :'( xD

You're actually right. I've been at work since six, switched them around, too tired to think.

 

[PANDEMlC]

I really really really want Dualist Liu and MoS Raiden to be good. I love the setup oriented style of those variations.

I got the names mixed up. My bad. Was thinking of the portal variation which is actually WL.

 

[Grs_Haze]

Ok then. So be it. I've just never seen anyone use anything but Summoner and Warlock, online or offline. Will edit.

summoner is his best warlock is fun so you see them the most i think but in the right hands sorcerer is prob top 10 material really strong

FTR every single quan variation is great

 

[Eddy Wang]

Hat Trick Lao

 

[BloodyNights]

Kitana Mournful....cuz wut is dis variation. just kidding her entire character needs work so she's out.

I'd like to see Gunslinger Erron Black, or Ninjitsu Scorpion get buffed.

 

[NorCalSamurai]

FTR every single quan variation is great

Yeah, his universal tools are really good, WL is the worst choice of the three. I probably should have used the word "weakest" in the title instead of "bad".

 

[Big Pampering]

I would love to see hat trick changed. Other characters have higher priority though.

 

[Movieland KerrHolden]

i don't know if it needs buffs but would love to see more use from dualist liu
