Rumored nerfs and buffs

Why the fuck isn't Shazam getting a buff for his tele already!?
Give the man a shit projectile and no AA's and expect him to have an extremely shitty teleport too.

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
From what I've heard:

Probable:

Ares B23 made techable. So that his reset is a read on the tech and on wake up rather than wake up alone.

Cyborg block infinite removed. (Likely via minimum height or slight change in frames on IANB)

Doomsday 112 will not do full damage on block.

Possible:

Grundy B+1 will not guarantee throw. Possibly like Lobo Stagger which can be reversal-ed out of.

Superman Change to optic blast so that it has slightly more recovery and can't be looped for 70%+ in the corner.

Aquaman Trait cooldown increase.

Batman Trait cooldown increase.

Black Adam slightly more recovery on non-MB divekick.

Shazam no guaranteed combo on throw tech.

Unlikely but I've heard these mentioned:

Sinestro restoration of some of his pre-nerf safe strings.

Harley Improved trait recovery.

Lobo Improved trait recovery. Full invincibility on wakeup bf3.

Green Lantern Full invincibility on wakeup lantern grab.

Superman slightly more negative frames on block with breath. (-4 to -1)

Even more unlikely but people have said it:

Deathstroke some kind of ambiguous nerf to either his guns or his 50-50.

Doomsday some kind of ambiguous nerf to something/everything.

Green Arrow buff to non-special arrows.
Prepare yourselves TYM...I'm about to make sweet sweet love to this post.

I really hope non of this stuff comes to pass with the exception of first three. People (and I don't mean you) need to stop bitching and just level up. This game has a big chance of being ruined just like MK by the crying of scrubs and some so-called top players. Geezus IF PEOPLE JUST PLAY THE GAME FOR THE SAME AMOUNT THAT THEY ARE CRYING ABOUT ABOUT NERFS AND BUFFS THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FOUND AN ANSWER TO THEIR CRIES. None of you have figured this game out yet. None of you figured everything in MK9 yet. Some of you might think you have but sadly you haven't. Not even the Capcom players found out everything in their games out yet. Stop your crying.

If employees from NRS didn't say it then I don't believe it. The only thing NRS has said is that Ares reset will be removed. That's as much as we know for sure.

I heard a rumor about Killer Frost.
They want to give her slide more advantage on block.

It's about time!

I know that most people would disagree with me but i would really like Killer Frost's Slide adjusted so it can go under Deathstrokes Machine and Normal Guns. Because its like one of the only moves that i can avoid spammer Deathstrokes with online. I know they could do the Low Gun move but still :)
So because you can't deal with deathstroke online the rest of us have to suffer.

No Killer Frost's slide does not need buffed at all.

Use your normal zoning and get in once you hit them with an icicle.

And quit using the word "Spammer". Its disgusting and sounds really scrubby.
 
So if they are releasing dlc characters every 2 weeks does that mean we have 3 more patches and balance updates before evo. That's insane. How the hell do you practice for a tournament when stuff keeps changing every other week?

Block a gun, then trade the next one with icicle. Use the advantage from the knockdown to get in. Block sword flip, punish with f+113, kill them with a reset. Repeat ad nauseum until all of the DS scrubs quit injustice.

Oh god. . . my move changed by 3 frames. . . it's useless! useless. . . quiet sobbing.

I'm dropping Superman right now. . . who's second highest?
 
If the nerf traits lets say like batman and it ruins ur pressure game then u need to adjust big time. Using that as an example. But they do effect game plans no matter how small u think it may be.

Lex orb is 2 frames
seriously? wtf?
this needs to be 0 frame start up,AT THE VERY LEAST!
and i want the game to know what input im doing and the 0 frame orb to come out by me just doing the directions.
also lex should be able to have four orbs on screen if he uses 2 meters...just four though...5 would be unbalanced.
