Community Poll - If you are not a tournament player please do not vote...

[TakeAChance]

Legit question.

After Evo, should the Injustice community look to remove Interactables from competitive play?

I can't make the question any simpler or more complicated. Private vote. If you want to express your opinions why or why not, please do so below.

I think we should get rid of them. It would create more hype. Having players go toe to toe is awesome...but having people just chuck shit over and over is not.

Stage Transitions would remain, interactables would be out.

 

[Crathen]

No , this would indirectly nerf so many characters that get setups from interactables it would be so stupid i can't even write about it

 

[ApertureBlack]

Until they get toned down a bit, some simply arent exactly exiting to watch or to play against. I would like to see some pure PvP combat without respawning/huge hitbox/unblockable things being tossed around.

Nothing hurts to experiment with either, youll never know until people try.

Question, does Interactables mean transitions as well? As I dont see the reason for not allowing those.

No Interactables are just interactables. Transitions are seperate. I see no problem with them either.

Interactables are fine. I was super salty about them at first, but after further thought they are kind of essential for a lot of characters in the game.

Mmk, I see many people grouping them together. Thanks for the answer.

 

[RWDY Nori]

Chars like Lex Luthor, Bane, Lobo actually stand a fighting chance vs Superman/Batman etc BECAUSE of interactables. I vote to keep them in

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

I'm no tournament player so I won't vote, but if they reduce the damage but still let you take advantage of them in combos I think they would still be fine while keeping an interesting dynamic to the fights. They just do way too much damage at the moment.

This is my thoughts exactly.

I have no problem with the concept of them, but netting a free 15%-20% extra after a hard knockdown and such simply isnt right.

Tone them down and they will be fine.

I'll say this

Who has played the game with them off enough to know "so an so NEEDS THEM TO COMPETE" ??

my guess is no one.

I basically only play with them on during actual tournys, when I play with friends I always turn them off.

Characters that people say "need" interactables on are exactly saying interactables, they are saying that a specific stages interactables benefit them.

 

[Crathen]

It's funny how people bitch about interactables when they mainly talk about respawning robots being used by power character and corner valves on atlantis ( gadget characters ) , what about bounce interactables and combo extending ones like Fortress of Solitude teleport laser , Metropolis minigun , Batcave wires etc etc?

I'm discovering good setups with those to use Deathstroke's trait wich he doesn't get access normally with his moveset , why should he lose this when other characters would be even get stronger without the threat of interactables?

I said it more than once , NRS just needs to tweak some numbers on the interactables and they could make them way more balanced , keep the fait or at least hold that talk for a year.

Edit: you can't choose what interactables to turn off , so you can't keep bounces on and flying respawning robots off FYI

 

[TakeAChance]

Before this thread could turn into a bitch fest I would just like to let everyone know that this is strictly opinion. There are no right or wrong responses.

I am just curious to see the current stance on them.

I am just sick of seeing deathstroke picking Ferris, and myself continuously picking Atlantis lol

but again

that is my point. We know they aren't going anywhere right now... so we play with them on

then say stupid and un-informed things like "Lex and Grundy and my mom and your dad need those interactables to compete with Superman and Black Adam"

 

[RWDY Nori]

I'll say this

I main Bane. I'm telling you from experience interactables have saved my life against the top tier chars many times. Nothing I said was stupid cause it's an actual fact. Do YOU main Lex/Bane/Lobo (I certainly don't think anybody said Grundy needs them, or peoples parents, not sure why you are going off in 8 different directions w/the conversation)?

 

[Juggs]

No, they shouldn't be banned. They are a big part of Injustice and they are a cool and fun aspect. But I think they deserve a nerf of some kind. And not all of them deserve a nerf, but some of them are just way too good.

 

[Vagrant]

No.

They shouldn't be banned.

Don't get me wrong I don't like interactables. I'd prefer the game without them. In Vagrant's perfect world, every match I played would be played on the SF4 training stage.

But we as a community decided we were going to use them in tournaments.
Yes some of them are down right "You've got to be fucking kidding me" broken, but I think we should ride this out until after IGAU's first Evo and return to this topic afterwards.

Which ones specifically would you address?

thats exactly what he was saying.

This is for after evo. Just want to make sure you know that

Yes.

My response being.... We shouldn't have this conversation until after evo.....

 

[FlipinFlava]

I say no. It's too soon to make a huge change like that. If this ends up creating a game where only a handful of characters become viable, then so be it. We can have another vote then, if that actually happens. Not before.

 

[Vagrant]

I don't think we should have this discussion until after EVO. Was what I was basically saying.

You guys can debate it now all you want man, i'm not here to stop ya. But I'd prefer not to debate this until I see more high level tournament play unfold.

Definitely a valid stance.

I am more so doing it just to see the current attitudes towards them.

If we made a list of 5 characters who NEEDED interactables to compete...who would they be?

 

[Jimmypotato]

If they aren't toned down then I think they should be, for me they take away hype when I play and when I watch.

if they do stay in, I would like to see the damage reduced and the respawning multiple use ones taken out or made to not respawn.

if you know the set amount and where they are going to be in each map, then you can stratagize and actually practice the different maps. I think King said that one time, how to you practice for random ass respawning shit?
