Disclaimer about Combobreaker and Deadshot

WOOLAY!!!!
pretty much the big legacy characters need to be adjusted along with deadshot. Aquaman Batman Adam Superman are just in a league of their own in the current state of the game where none of the new characters come close to how strong they are. Deadshot is just what happens when a company does a last-second buff that goes untested. Straight shot and B1 do not need to be what they are right now.

I don't think DS is OP, but the views posted in this thread on one side seem much more valid than the points from the other side. Do the pro nerf DS posters simply have better argument logic or are they right? I honestly don't know.

The best argument against nerfing him is, lab, learn the MU, and beat him like almost every good player is doing now.
this is honestly a great argument for why we should wait and see where the character sits, which is my opinion, and the only argument that needs to be said

other ppl need to stop using these weak ass arguments to stan for deadshot it just makes me think they have no objectivity to any of this

Yea i mean if he was this unstoppable dominant force maybe there's concern, but all I see is every Deadshot not named Sonic Fox losing right and left, and Aquaman in 1 out of every 3 matches without a whisper.

THIS x100

Look at p2w match vs catwoman player. And p2w is no scrub , good player with good defense who knows how to use zoning character . Catwoman no zoning at all and he fast 3-0s him ...

But he didnt mindlessly dash or jump at DS , he actually thinked a bit.... But guess what ? Most ppl who complain are scrubs who dont want to think and lab their options.They just want to be in your face all the time .If they cant they cry for nerfs and complain .

I agree with your advice and I agree that we don't have enough information to effectively advise how to buff or nerf anyone yet. Even the gods (the pro players) have yet to explore every matchup because they are focused on locking in on their mains.

We do need to stop using Sonic Fox as the barometer for character balance. He's the GOAT and he can show us ways, but him winning or losing with any character should not be a precedent for balance. We need to explore these characters and matchups for ourselves for our opinions on balancing to be credibly accurate.

yep

people dealt with kabal and kenshi in mk9 without mb roll or air dashes .... so I think they will handle deadshot lol
you just cited two amazing examples of terribly balanced characters, who were universally agreed to be in need of normalizing that they never got for the sake of balance. The statement you are making hurts your point of view, not helps it.

Also, as shown in recent footage, MB roll seems to be just as useful if not more so for Deadshot himself, saving him many times from being cornered or even having the gap closed midscreen, as well as having the meter advantage to have much more freedom in using it.


As for air dashes, you are going to have to remind me with the input for that one is for the other 26 members of the cast who aren't from out of space

All those Aqu, err I mean Deadshot's winning all tournament long and in Top 16 sure did ruin the tournament. Too many man it was unbearable. Good thing we predicted it in advance. Let's get the nerf hammers out.

I'd rather SHOW than TELL ~ Poison Ivy
Sonic main captain cold/ who gives captain Cold a bad time... DeadShot... hmm (uses DeadShot to further get him nerfed, drop after nerf) go back to captain cold ) seems like a good plan... because everyone knows if sonic uses a character that character must be nerfs smh nrs scrubs.

Beware my power.
When SonicFoxx wins using Deadshot as one of his many characters, that is not definitive proof Deadshot needs adjustments. The dude could snatch first place using a garbage can for a character.
It's more like there's no way in hell sonicfox would ever win a major tournament soloing deadahot. He's also playing black Adam, a real OP character.

Also notice that he starts off a match with deadshot if he's gonna use him so he can switch to black Adam for real free wins when his deadshot loses. He's not winning a tournament with deadshot he's winning with black Adam if it's anyone.

The fact that you all are fooled by simple parlor tricks proves to me that you're also equally if not more clueless about deadshots place in this game and the pros/cons of zoning in general
