The Kenshi community needs to level up? Are you kidding me? It's not a lack of good players, it's a lack of a competitive character. The recent patch did little for Kenshi and a lot for most other characters, leaving Kenshi in the dust balance-wise. Pig said it himself, us Kenshi players haven't found any Kenshi tech because there is none. We know how to use balanced, we're not stupid. The reason we complain is because every match is an uphill battle. Balanced is a zoning variation that can't zone. So all he's left with is bad normals and a poor neutral. Like many of us have said before, if you think you can do better with Kenshi, then pick him up and prove us wrong. We'll shut up as soon as it happens, I promise.
You still have it easier than some and you're only getting more given to your character.
I dunno about you guys but I saw Pig at esl finals with a Kenshi, and if it wasn't due to his own dropped combo he could've beaten st9rm and placed further than he did and who knows maybe that would've been it or maybe he would go further.
That was before other buffs too wasn't it? (serious question)
I really think Kenshi players do lack good representation, sorry if you feel like you're all god like players but Pig is the only one still worth talking about and even he has his moments (who doesn't I suppose).
but it shouldn't rely on just him to push the character to the limits other players should but you all just cry that Kenshi can't zone with balanced for the most part, guess what this isn't MK9, MKX changed how you should play Kenshi > Step 1: Drop balanced.
if you only main one variation and proceed to cry about the state of the character that's not the characters fault, You guys really don't sound like you're labbing the other 2 variations all that well, some of you here or there are probably very good and we're yet to see from you but there's alot of people in here who refuse to level up.
You do not have a character with no answers, you have a community with no effort to change their ways, Kenshi is not a zoning monster anymore move on.
He's by far not the best and could still see buffs, but he is not unviable entirely he can still be played it's almost as if you people think a 4-6 MU means you shouldn't play it, it just means it's harder it should fuel that fire inside of you but instead I see a flock of people complaining over what is truely not a terrible character all in all when you think about what you need from his arsenal to win, he may require a secondary to compete with, but he still sits above other characters laughing at them and he sure as hell will probably see more buffs before nerfs so do not act so hard done by.
I train on the regular with a Kenshi main and he's doing well for himself and he will in the future too I know it, I am going to look into him myself and see what I can do because I would love to prove some people wrong that he's not unviable, but You all sit there telling someone else to do it which just shows me how much you guys deserve from a character.
