What's new

My thoughts on new Balance Patch

The reaction to Deathstroke's nerfs is the most exaggerated thing I've seen on TYM in a while. You're seriously comparing him to Kano? We're talking like that now? Grow up. Your 50/50 game is way better than Kano. Your zoning is better, you just can't throw it out quite as randomly. You still have a really cheap unblockable trait. And last I checked, not every single string of yours could be interrupted by armor.
 

DOOMSDAY-15RUS-

i'LL DESTROY YOU ALL
Sinestro - Most cried about character, most significant buffs. (makes sense) Welcome to top 10.

Catwoman - Second most cried about character, second most significant buffs. Now rocket up to Killer Frost tier.

Ares - Still "OK" character in the long run. Probably slightly worse now in general.

Bane - Character is still underpowered compared to rest. Now he's a better low tier character.

Solomon Grundy - "Arrow man no hurt Grundy! Netherrealm, yes hurt Grundy" Biggest nerf for no reason.

Deathstroke - Second biggest nerfs to suit the cry babies.

Cyborg - Third biggest nerf, but at least his fireballs still keep his core game strategy.

Green Arrow - Nerfed just so we can see Chris G shake his head more on salt cam.

Haley Quinn - Nerfed because she should be worse than Joker, I guess? Makes sense.

Joker - Could be better than Harley now or on her level.

Lobo - Worse than Bane now.

Shazam - If he can do it as fast as Superman's trait, then we may have another good character on our hands. Other buffs are OK, but don't help him in his big problematic areas.

Superman - He's still top.

Aquaman - Now he will have to turtle an extra second longer to get his trait back.

Raven - Wake-ups game slightly better now, but she is still the same pretty much.

i can see all the amine
yeah, you clearly don't play him...
i dont, but i just dont see what the problem is. is dashing and blocking just not good or something? i mean thats what i do with every other character, with dashes less good than lobo's. or characters with crappy dashes and then you have to walk. still ok. is there something im missing?

Fair enough I'm not really close to being a high level player but I main Grundy and I don't think his nerf is that bad tbh just makes his match ups with projectile heavy people slightly harder but also I don't find people using clash as much as breakers in MK so meh

Also I haven't been online tonight so has DS really be effected a whole lot by this patch ?
 
She needs the buff. A lot of people were complaing about her because she has no arsenal and people spam projectile at her. So she need the buff where she can get close to the opponent fast and do some damage. I'm very happy catwoman is buff because she has no projectiles
A lot? Who?

Yes! You are missing a lot. On paper it might sound simple but it's not. It's very hard to get in on zoners with lobo > land a hit and keep pressure before they fuck off to the other side of the screen and repeat.

What would you change about Doomsday?
Something about his MB Venom, more pushback/ less advantage/less travel distance/remove 2nd hit (MB only add armor and frames). The hitbox on this thing is already retarded no need being frame trap that travels full screen.

If that is the only change I would be fine with that, but other top characters must be nerfed as well.

Why less advantage? The only move the advantage forces you to deal with is d1 anyway, so less advantage (down to +2 anyway) would barely change the situation since the options would be all the same (his d1 beats any of your attacks, your d1 beats any of his attacks other than d1). Honestly though now with 112 fixed i really don't see anything for that character that should be changed. He's a really good character and the options you have against him are clear cut and fair in terms of the risk/reward of both players. If anything I'd change his df2 to something more traditional, not for balance reasons, but just to not turn people off......but I feel like we are past that point already in the game's life, so there'd be no point.

"Can't throw it as randomly"? How is losing a frame trap "not being able to throw it as randomly"? Says the one who uses a character who now has an unfuzzyable 50/50. Who's more random now?

And "cheap unblockable trait"? I'd love to see someone winning a tournament using that.

And the comparison to Kano is not in terms of tools. But in terms of the nerfs. Hell I'd make the Sub Zero comparison if that'd make you happy.

Sorry Mayo I love you but what you said was full of bull.

Just moved, so i don't have internet to download the patch yet.

But Ba stays the same, and Shazam gets major buffs?

Its like NRS loves me or something.

I forgive you for Kano.
