Hot take: Bane's a contender for top 10.
Pretty much every character who got nerfed was a bad MU for him and they got nerfed and all the ones who got buffed hardly made a difference.
Black Adam - Damage/zoning nerf - Win
Black Manta - Backdash nerf - Win
Captain Cold - Plus frame buff - Irrelevant as anything
Deadshot - Trait/zoning buff - Kinda pointless, wait out trait, continue to walk in.
Dr Fate - Damage and ORB NERF - WIN
Firestorm - Everything nerf - Win
Grodd - Stampede buff/nerf, jump buff(lol?) - Whatever
Hellboy - Anti air nerf - Win. Wakeup air revolver is less effective
Joker - Trait buff - Uhh not sure. Makes a difference but if you get cornered against Bane then you're the one playing that game
Red Hood - D1 buff - Cool I guess?
Starfire - Starbolt MB not throw immune - Win but kind of irrelevant
Turtles - Changes - Irrelevant.
Idk man. Never felt better playing Bane. His only matchup where he loses almost everywhere on the screen is Beetle. Batman/Superman are still free as anything in the corner, even though they win the neutral. He probably still loses to some of the characters mentioned but it's way less free now imo.
Wowo still kinda sucks as a MU
