To each it's own
I was big online warrior in mk9,mkx not so much. The net code is just bad and the thing is I have good internet. It's just the lag for bnbs that kills me.
Now it's not all the way unless since they were good xp against a few guys,play long sets and learn the meta game for a few characters,but most of the time, you can't really learn anything since most of the ppl you play just d3 teleport uppercut all day. And while you miss your simple bnbs, you have a salty situation(if salty situation haven't been coined yet, it's mine phrase) knowing they wouldn't get away offline. I have taught a good friend of mines,which is a tekken player,the game and tell him what characters to use so we can play countless games and learn matchups
But your online working for you and you are having fun,good for you. It's just not my cup of minute maid. Now it's just eso,halo, and payday is all I play now. Hell I might as well give killer instinct a go too
