Staggers can take you only so far, they cant win you a game combined with his obnoxious mid to far range game especially in war god, he will be gutted if they take armor out of his ex db4
It seems they are trying to either slow down one option of the 50/50 or make it unsafe. If they reduce the block stun on EX DB1, he should be fine. I've never found his 50/50's to be that oppressive and I think they're trying to hit the oppressive shit (Demo, Cutthroat, Quan) which hopefully means D'vorrah and Johnny Cage get toned the fuck down because holy crap. D'vorrah honestly doesn't need 50/50's along with her dumb pressure and plus frames on run cancels in general need to be toned down, specifically A-List and D'vorrah.

Beware my power, Red Lantern's Light
I will cry if I lose my EX Paddle...

If they take it away from him, I will either move to Sun God and learn to adapt to his style, or stop playin him all together.

I feel like sun god is pretty safe in this patch. Maybe even a buff. He doesn't have anything he doesn't pay for and hasn't been really messed with lately so it makes me think he is about where paolo wants him.

Maybe something with blood god or paddlegod.

I don't doubt he'll be fine.

I'm more concerned with how he might be different.
we will see today what's the deal with kotal. I'm not too scared. Even if they take the armor out of EXdb1 he's still very fucking solid. If they make EXdb1 to launch with 2bars only, it might change him a little but, he would still have very solid punishers. F1b2 grants u 30% into HKD with out meter. But let's not jump into conclusion just yet

I dont have any problem with them taking his blockstun away, i think its actually fair

ALSO! Staggers most certainly can win you the game alone. How do you think people win with Killer, Blood God and characters like that?
Killer leatherface is a totally different character and no you cant do that to every character
Back to kotal, blood god can do that because of his really good durability something that wargod doesnt have

You are playing him wrong if his armor is 90% of the character for you. He actually has pretty piss poor armor, gets broken a lot.
by 90% i meant in wargod specific tools
and no, his ex db1 is a great armor launcher move in this game, great range, no hurtbox on the sword, overhead, good chip damage, and good damage after a successful ex db1
 
I play Blood God. Does it appear that I could be in any trouble or because his staggers are pretty cool, Blood God might get left alone? If not, is it wise for me to start investing time into Sun God or Variation-less, perhaps?

Variation-less will never be better than blood god, at all so id never suggest that. Blood God players don't need to worry about much, if anything he might get buffs but certainly not any extreme nerfs. You should learn sun god anyway cuz it's super fun.
 
Wargod got tripped up and busted his balls on the curb. Only good thing that came out of this patch for him is that the patched out armored launchers give you peace at mind when cancelling an unsafe move into safe paddle slap. Without armored DB1, the only other good thing he has going for him against the other variations are unsafe mixups; which aren't the worst, with their generous pushback, but IMHO, are outshined by armored DB1.
