I think they have to be careful about buffing Bo. I've played against a few Bo's that had no problem getting through zoning.

I always thought his movement speed was designed intentionally to compensate for his strong up close game once he's finally in.

I've seen a couple of good Bo's but I've also seen most Bo's get outzoned easily by players of less skill.

If they're getting out zoned, doesn't that qualify as being outplayed?

If they're less skilled, wouldn't they fall into patterns?

I know the narrative is that keep away is "braindead," but define "less skilled?" How exactly do you measure that?

Flocko seems to have no trouble getting in on HQT,one of the best zoners in the business.
 
Also obviously Kenshi needs buffs, unbreakable, leatherface,high tech,warrior, and more. I would love for them to do something with ancestral, it'd be badass if stun arrow didn't have a timer.

High Tech doesn't need buffs, does it? It already has big damage, a shit ton of jailing pressure, I don't understand.

No, not when one character is OP and another is trash, and the OP character is a zoner and plays against bo rai cho. They might fall into patterns but that doesn't change the fact that a lesser skilled guy has an advantage. Pick any top Mk player and have them place top 3 with cryo or balanced in a major, nope. Even if they're "more skilled" than a guy using Alien or Mileena. But that's a different thread altogether. So anyways...BUFF KENSHI, BO, ANCESTRAL,UNBREAKABLE!

Youve completely moved the goalposts.

Why should Bo Rai' Cho get the buffs? He's fine as he is now. BTW, since this fella is fat, shouldn't his movement speed be a bit slow like Tremor?

Totally agree with this, I'd like it if his run was just a bit better and his forward dash wasn't so appalling.

I'm going to make Fate top ten
Please dont drastically change tremor and just give him a good poke. He's fine as he is now besides the disrespect he gets for having no mids and a shitty poke. Hopefully bf2 just gets removed or just altered cuz tht move is useless. :p
