The state of the netcode currently is a complete joke. This is easily the worst online experience since injustice one. Nrs should really be ashamed of themselves for releasing such an unfinished game. SMH literal joke. I feel like I’m playing in quick sand 70% of the games and I’m wired

After getting paired with the same 3 wi-fi people again and again I finally gave up and had a match against someone it said had a 56 ping.

Match was unplayable garbage.

One small thing I've noticed has been needlessly added is a knock-back effect when you kill Endurance opponents in Invasions.

They used to just satisfyingly explode into entrails and the next character would seamlessly jump on screen straight away, now you suffer a small stumbling knock-back before they do (no damage though), that I personally don't see the point of.

I can't find any patch notes officially. What all has been discovered? Most importantly have they further nerfed or actually buffed SubZero and Scorpion?

Cyrax horizontal costs entire kameo bar.
Raiden and Baraka both got 10% reduction to their damage in their combos.
Baraka walks slower.
Kung Lao kameo hat has longer cooldown.
Combos with Scorpion Kameo assist does less damage.
Reiko's command grabs scaling is worse.

Only found changes for Subzero are a bug fix and a new bug.

The bug fix is that if you use lao/motaro teleport to interrupt clone recovery, it no longer destroys clone (likely useless).
The new bug is that EX clone doesn't work (it doesn't bounce them into the second clone, and doesn't freeze).

Second one is confirmed server issue and being worked on right now. There might be similar server issue things so might want to wait for the official notes. Either way, sub isn't climbing any lists as things stand. Hopefully this was a post ECT "tune up" with bigger changes in the pipeline.

Wait why nerf Scorp kameo? Barely anyone used it over the better options as is!
