So far, I'm loving Injustice 2. Imo, it is hands down the best product NRS has released to date. However, there are a few things that have caused me many headaches in trying to work out what NRS were thinking, and I know that many people agree with me. These are also things that I think there are easy solutions to.
Major issues:
1. There being no default competitive mode player match
This is the biggest issue above all else. And probably the easiest to fix.
I know a lot of people think that competitive mode should be the default mode in all online game modes in I2, and that stats/abilities should have to be opted in by both players. However, I can see why NRS didn't do this. People with competitive play in mind are the minority. Most people who bought I2 will spend lots of time grinding for the most powerful gear for their favourite character, and would not be happy with this being rendered useless by something that's at the mercy of their opponent.
But there's an easy compromise. Please give us a separate competitive player match mode where we can go in and find like minded players. One and done ranked matches are not an acceptable substitute. Saying "just add people who also want to play without gear" is not an acceptable solution; you can't always rely on people on your friends list being available to play at the same time as you, that's the whole point of player match rooms.
2. The input system
Everyone is having issues here. Even with negative edge and input shortcuts turned off, it seems that the buffer window is far too big.
One example is pressing b,d,b can result in a backdash. Surely that should never happen?
Less Major issues:
1. Not being able to fight against AI loadouts
This probably isn't seen as a huge issue, but is a personal gripe of mine. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to do this? I'd have thought that this would have been the source of inspiration for whomever designed this.
Surely it would be hugely beneficial, for example, to be able to set Deadshot to 30 runaway, 30 zoning and fight against that play style? I assumed I'd be able to do this in practice mode or player matches, but nope.
2. Gear/brother eye organisation
Getting past the annoyance of having to go through and mass sell gear items every now and again due to the awkward inventory management system, there's something even more annoying and unintuitive about the system.
It doesn't make any sense having the regen option in the brother eye section or not being able to preview items before selling/regenerating gear.
Currently, you have to go to customise character, find the gear you want to regenerate, note down their names, exit character customisation, go to brother eye, change tabs, find the character, try and remember whether you liked the look of Scarecrow's fortified scary pants of terror or his frightening pants of horror, realise you can't remember and go back and start the process again before realising you don't actually give a shit anymore.
Why can you not just press regenerate or sell item while actually previewing that gear item in customise character?
This is not a buff/nerf thread. Get out if you want to post about that.
