2 years in and NRS drops a new meta game on us? Tha FUCK! I've never once griped about this game played it serious as all hell it's first year out. I mean traveled paid money for big tourneys, even started up the local Chico Fight scene and hosted Battleborn 1 and 2 that had a better turn out than NCR for MKX!
But this just pisses me off. NRS did not have balances in mind when this was done. Simply dropped a new meta on us 2 years into the games life. The past 2 years I spent playing this game mean nothing now. It's awesome and exciting if you can stay home all day and play and do the time and master the new meta but I work like a mofo and have a daughter.
This would have been fine if it was a new game would have welcomed something new and exciting but this was to drastic for a game 2 years in. Everyone has their opinion but my take on this is, the changes to the armored moves was too much. There was so much time put into busting armors, set-ups FUCK there is just too much different now.
And for fucks sake why remove ex gotcha grab armor. Literally in 1 fell swoop murdered heavy weapons and just Jax all together in my opinion. (My personal note for jax nerfs)
I beleve 100% different han you on this topic.
I think yes they screwed alot of characters, but ata same time it was universal changes. so maybe its not a bad thing, then they very well might have done this to Prolong the life of the game and at same time tried to buff Zoning and other aspects and take away from Opressive Rushdown. and did it in a strange way ill admit.
But as of Today, noonw is a master of anycharacter. The meta is different. and the Tier list is none exsistant. untill we have more thsan a month of Practice with the actual new game. we can not say anything is bad or good. We have no clue what character is stronger than the next because everything is different. Think about it. With Stamina Nerfed, RC's and AA's Buffed and ARmored Launchers Nerfed. the meta is different. and Highs may be a strong tool with no option to EX Launch in Neutral? characters who lost mids may very well still be great. and same goes for everything. i was a little mad about EX Launchers being gone. But who knows it may make the game much more balanced and they might have brang Top to Mid and Bottom to Mid who knows?
NRS has always done Drastic patches. but maybe they got it right. think of things like MAny Shitty Variations are now Relevant, alot of Dirt is Gone. HTB's are Removed! thats right HTB's are gone. there is no Armor Breaks anymore because of the 2 Hit's of Armor Moves. yoiu can keep fullscreen opponents out, and possibly they can't run fullscreen and Combo you or mix you up, they very well might run out of Stamina before?
@YOMI REO @PND_Ketchup @Tanno @Apex Kano @scarsunseen and anyone else.
What do you guys think about:
Nerfed Stamina and how it effects the Zoning and Space Control?
Nerfed EX Launchers and how it effects the MEta?
Buffed AA's?
Double Hit Armors and how will that change game plan Wakeups, and MEta Strategy?
Also guys i think they might have added a few years of shit to the game. Combos to learn, Variaitons and Characters to relearn, New MEchanics to get used to. Zoning! and so much more with this patch and they are gonna do follow up patchs. Im hella excited. and i think it might be Great? whats your thoughts?
