THE OFFICIAL Injustice 2 COMPLAIN/RANT THREAD

Ah, almost forgot. Having Gear On as default in practice is the absolute dumbest thing. How did the leave the decision room?

I love this game and this series, but I need a safe space right now.

This is basically one giant mobile game wrapped up beautifully for a current console. Source crystals (the REAL currency) needed to level up other characters and buy shaders is absurd and the rate you gain them is even worse (hello "free" to play game!!).

My biggest personal complaint is that this game is not near as competitive as Gods Among Us. Let me get this straight; you keep almost all of the strings from previous characters, but most of them are not chain-able between one another anymore, unless you're in the corner. It aggravates me to no end that Superman's 223 cannot be followed up with F2 anymore or Batman cant dash from 113 to 123. Same goes for plenty of other characters strings. If you're keeping 80% of the first game anyways, keep all 80%!!

Input delay and clunky animations. Everyone thought GUA was slow and lumbering, but after a while the game sped up significantly. I am not feeling the same way after spending a few days (real time/game time) I2. The game looks fantastic and has a nice polished look, but maybe all that extra zaz has everything feeling a bit bloated. The same way I felt about MKX. Sure it looks great, but at times it feels like I'm trying to drive a semi truck though a tunnel it won't fit through.

Oh yeah....WHERE IS GRUNDY!?!?! ME THINK HE HANDSOME TOO!

Good post, pero
wheres NW at?

A selection of minor annoyances I have with this game...

• RNG elements, period. Wonder Woman's character power is the most blatant example, but there's other stuff too like Harley's Pop Pop gun having a chance of failing, Catwoman gaining scratches largely at random etc. I really just don't like random elements in fighting games at all.
• The fact that online player match doesn't give you a 'competitive only' option, and instead you have to hope that you also get matched up with a competitive-leaning opponent.
• On that front, the fact that there's no option for 'competitive, but you get to keep gear-exclusive moves' alternative mode.
• Practice mode not being competitive by default...
• The fact there's no 'open all mother boxes' option.
• Actually, the gear interface in general. Why aren't the 'customise character' and 'brother eye vault' sections integrated?

There's probably more, but... yeah.

Oh, and another thing: Atrocitus. Not him in particular, but Dex-Starr.

Why the FUCK does this little shit get to stick around when Atrocitus gets hit but Darkseid's Parademon, Ivy's plant thing, Batman's bats, LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE WITH SOME SORT OF COMPANION TRAIT lose their's on hit? Makes no sense and is the only thing that I think Atrocitus needs nerfed right now.

Those characters don't rely on trait the same way Atrocitus does. If Dex-Starr went away on hit it would severely hurt his counter zoning game and just the character in general.

They just need to fix stupid stuff like Dr. Fate's 2113 string causing damage to himself...if he only has chip health left...it can kill him!!!!

Why, Netherrealm?

You can turn off input and button shortcuts in the controller settings so this doesn't happen.

It still happens. Also for some reason I'm getting hear for GL and it's going in Supermans inventory, wtf? Anyone else experiencing this?

The input issues are real. I didn't think so until spending a lot of time with the game and also reading this thread. I don't remember IJ1 being this bad about them

Maybe it's just me and I'm doing it wrong, but do some combos not working at all? Specifically talking about Poisnon Ivy and Supergirl's combos that start 1212.

I just cannot get them to work.

God, fuck Aquaman. I've hated this character since the first game and every John from the first returns to this one.

Man, I have so much disdain for this dumb character lol. It's ridiculous they couldn't at least nerf a few things.

Here's some of my gripes with the game and most of them are about core features of the game:

-How there's multiple "different" pieces of Epic gear like they'll have a different name but they actually have the same look (like wtf?)
- @karaokelove said it and the match timer is waaaaay too long
-I don't have the option to buy more than 1 motherbox at a time... I have 1.6m credits and the game forces me to manually buy 1600+ motherboxes one at a time if I wanted? Jesus Christ
-Also said by karaoke in that I have to manually open every motherbox I have instead of opening all at once/having the option of all of them being opened without me holding A/X all the time.
-How it's possible to get level 20 gear with augments that increase character Xp for that character. Biggest. Waste. Ever.
-How there's no option in the Gear Inventory to manually select what pieces you want to permanently keep and just sell the rest for trash. You have to actually equip the piece you want to keep to avoid accidentally selling it.There's not nearly enough loadouts per character to equip how many gear pieces I want to keep.
-If I get duplicates - duplicate epics is really common for me - it's just more confusing to determine which one is my better one. A duplicate filter or something would be nice. Also a filter to just show only common gear/only rare/only epic. Ways to filter which have highest strength/ability power/etc. These are some basic inventory management features in many games and for some reason Injustice 2 doesn't have these...
-Input buffer - sometimes gets me unwanted moves. Lots of others are having this problem.

So idk if anyone else has experienced this but the game is having this weird glitch where when I get items for GL it's storing them in supermans inventory. Plus there is a glitch where when you wager 3 bars it will randomly wager 4 bars for you and viceversa for wagering 4 bar and it only wagering 3.

1. People bitching about Deadshot
2. Having to warn people through message that I have a souped up character if they don't select competitive mode (lols)
3. RNG Traits
4. Crazy amounts of lag spikes
5. Getting great gear for almost every character except the ones I play as
6. People complaining about Deadshot

This. All...damn...day

Can we get a rematch with ranked settings please!

How the fuck this character got approved?

You, the one who designed BA, you need psychiatric help urgently, as the testers as well

The hero card selection screen is awkward again, just like in Injustice 1 and MKXL.
Why can't there be a tab for "NEW" or something so you don't have to scroll a kazillion years just to jump over and miss the new backgrounds and icons?

The input issue is the single most important thing I've taken from this thread outside of deadshot salt. Maybe it deserves its own thread for articulation and to segment from complaints about fking items in a FG. Who wants to make it? Seems like a lot of people have an issue.

But dead shot isn't anything special and doesn't need nerfed. Only thing IMO that needs adjusted is his ridiculous meter gaining ability

Nerfing his meter gain IS nerfing him are you high

I might be wrong, but trying to play player matches is dumb right now. Why isn't competitive mode the default and both people have to agree to switch to gear mode instead of the opposite? I want to play the game not see imaginary specials.

THIS!

I understand player matches being gear by default, but why can there not be an option to invite people in rooms to a Competitive Player Match? I would tag Paulo, but he probably gets annoyed with that shit.

I absolutely despise one and done matches, so screw Ranked. And sometimes when you work weird hours like I do, playing with people on friends list is not an option.

Haven't played the game but no Lex Luthor so fuck the game

People complain about RNG traits yet many games have had RNG elements that gave been designed by companies that arguably know how to make better fundamental fighting games like Guilty Gear, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct and it's never truly been an issue.

But I think Wonder Woman's trait could be better if it followed a strict order and you had to memorize which trait would start and what would be activated next.
