[Kiss the Missile]

They reversed Reptile's nerf didn't they? I wonder what else they're gonna give him

 

[CanoCano]

They gotta buff known low tier kameo Khameleon

 

[LEGEND]

New move for Shang lesgo!

 

[Archgamer]

+50hp for low tiers and more -50hp for the top tiers. That's it.

I choose to play it safe since they have consistently disappoint.

Another unnecessary cancel.

 

[Snowblind]

These were probably the balance changes that were coming with Ferra, except she got delayed so we just have the balance changes. I am cautiously optimistic.

Oh shit you're right lol. Ferra was meant to come out on the 27th

More nerfs.

I saw leaked patch notes that said to get people to use different kameos other than Khameleon they are going to nerf Reptile's damage.

I wouldn't be surprised, He's a very strong character. You see him everywhere in tournaments. He's all over the place online. He's at the top of every tierlist.

Yeah...Reptile's damage. That's what needs to be changed to heal the state of Mortal Kombat 1.

Pft. They need to nerf Nitara if they really want to balance the game the best way they can.

 

[Felipe_Gewehr]

The balance patches that come with kameos are usually the more modest and restrained ones. I highly doubt we will be seeing something other than minor visual bug fixes or maybe the odd "frame advantage adjusted to +1 (from +2)". I would love to be wrong though.

It's going to be further adjustments to the AI.

I legit struggle vs nitara

I do too. I don't care if she's bottom tier or what. She's a god damn nuisance with her mobility.

It'd be nice if they really lean into that if they give her some buffs. Make her mobility something really special.

Of all the characters to give a float and free fly moves too and the bat doesn't get it.

LOL Right?! I guess you have to have a cape, not wings, in order to fly in an NRS game.

Patch notes are up https://mortalkombatgamessupport.wbgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/30765918154643-Mortal-Kombat-1-Patch-Notes-June-July-Hotfix

Extremely lukewarm patch at best imo, with some super disappointing nerfs to JC and Peacemaker. They really gutted them.
I guess, the boring "unsafe move to kameo safety" meta is here stay? No sign of changing Goro punch, Kano ball, etc. is also super disappointing.

The rest, received some ultra minor buffs. Meh.

 

[Felipe_Gewehr]

Sonya buff was interesting. Great nerfs for snoozemaker. Johnny's parry is now no longer as braindead. Reptile got some minor buffs. Small things but I am gladly taking them.

 

[CanoCano]

Sonya buff paired with Sub's F123 buff might mean they're optimal now
Also there's more Armour Break potential with Sub-Darrius thanks to the F123 buff

 

[rifraf]

Great nerfs for snoozemaker.

He was fine imo. Now comes Tanya/Goro, Kung Lao/Goro from the top of my mind. Are these main characters getting nerfed next?

Idk, that's not the way to go imo.

Seems like a fairly over-generalized way to describe the "meta".
