Do you consider out gearing your opponent fair?

If players are playing with gear on, then I think it's fair for an opponent to choose their most geared up character for a fight.
 
It was slightly frustrating at the beginning, but I have good players to fight in private matches. To counter anyone who even thinks they can get away with fighting with gear on, I have my boy Supes at 4200 Defense, and blue lasers. I call that set "Pranks" and always use it to scare people into competitive mode.
 
Gear is certainly unfair. Which is why I have a level 20 deadshot to scare ANYONE into slapping anyone to Competitive Mode. The amount of fear that man brings to ranked casuals is nuts.
Damn man, I'm going to have to start doing this. Either that or just suck it up and play with my level 20 epic gear Harley, regardless of how freaking stupid she looks.

Ugh, I just want to play long sets on even ground with my character customized with a look I like, but the stats attached to all this gear doesn't really encourage that.
 
Funny, I don't mind playing at a life disadvantage (blue beetle player here) but I hate some of the special moves more than anything. Redhoods forward lunge unblockable special the leads into b3 is obnoxious. So is Darkseid back away teleport. Combined with life lead.......... ugh

Ya this is annoying as hell...I have one set on joker that I have redone the stats over like 150 times with an end result of 3400 strength (which I don't know why this is the stat that affects his parry and not ability)and a set bonus adding 25% dam to his parry. Oh man I wish I could see their faces cuz the end result is 50% health on a mb parry. Its hilarious.

that move is annoying but uh its not unblockable homie (redhood). A lot of the moves are retarded imo like cyborg's teleport, or Dr Fate casting shit in the air and airdashing like its mvc3. But the winner is that redhood move that allows him to fire his pistols like 5-6 times while crouching.

I'm cool with gears if they weren't the default. Its hella frustrating when someone ovbiously overpowers your character and refuses to turn it off and if you back out your points take a hit. I think that is bs

I totally knew this, I don't know why I typed unblockable LOL

Yes it's "fair" in that the game allows it and your looking for balanced fights in a mode that allows for crazy imbalance. Some people don't play multiplayer games for the purpose of having a "fair and even match of sportsmanship and may the best player win." They play to win, regardless of method (sometimes exploiting bugs) because that's how they have fun apparently.

People come to multiplayer games with their own agendas and expectations, often which will be in direct conflict with your own.

TL/DR: Just play ranked if you want no gear or just back out of room matches where people won't turn competitive on.

Heres the thing. While it is unfair to have someone with 2300+ in all stats except hp while you have below 2000 sure thats a problem. But in reality, from what i can tell the gear really isnt the biggest issue. Sure it helps but honestly its so easy to level a character and get full epics i have almost all the cast done and i play 3 of them...my biggest concern is the gear moves. First off, fuck that system. Dont be a stingy bitch nrs give us allllllll the goodies. Second off, there are some moves in the gear moves list that are just absolutely fucking stupid on that character. For instance, playing brainiac as i do i tend to shit all over any dumbass that wants to bring a deadshot into my room however the only thing that allows me to getin without running into infinite bullets for 2 mins, he can negate entirely with gear moves. Personally, the stats for me have never been a concern but the moves that some people have are just bullshit. And even if they arent, YOU are used to playng the normal version of that character mostly so when they have some brand new tool that basically fixes their only aeakness its hard to expect and adapt.

I think it is. Having worse gear is on you not your opponent.
I mean, not turning off gear when requested is absolutely a dick move for sure but, again, you can't really blame anyone but yourself for not having good enough stats for your characters.

Really really annoying to practice with newer and by extension lower level characters when you run into people who can't turn on competitive mode. I have to figure everything out in ranked because it's the only place I can trust to get a real match and even then I don't get sets just single matches. Ugh lol

I will pick out my maxed out character to counter and then leave after mopping them for one match since they don't want to turn comp mode on and be a [ban incoming] abt it
 
Can't we only have gear for offline play? Make player matches abilities only, is it that hard?
Abilities aren't balanced, some are okay, others are just dumb.

Given that gear drops are multiple levels of rng. It's as fair as someone winning the lottery and you don't
 
I agree with the vast majority of people on this forum. Gear changing stats inherently makes the game unfair. I played this guy named iiincorruptible (supposed to be the number 1 injustice 1 player). He started getting upset with me when I wanted to go competitive mode with my level 20 harley vs his level 20 deadshot (he had all epic gear). He didnt switch!! saying I'll lose anyway. Long story short, made him rage quit. Harley was fire even doing half damage.

I have seen a few of these kids with tricked out refilled gear, they have godlike stats. It is annoying, if you need extra stat boosts and abilities to win, go play an RPG. I want my damage and abilities to be the same in all modes, like a proper fighting game.

dude- hes back! i saw him in player match early on but he declined. he used to just ranked mode but not surprised he loves gear mode.

he is the worst person in the entire universe, he should be raped in the eyes with knives. every win and rage quit i got in injustice 1 felt so good.

and no hes not the #1 player he is a terrible cliche deathstroke who did everything in his power to zone and if you blocked and punished swordspin he would freak out, and if you were going to win hed quit

This is like my second time posting on this wonderful site and I guess my reply didnt upload. Like what is this guy deal? Did he compete in like tournaments? He's a horrible person. My partner and I dug up his stream and he's the definition of narcissistic megalomaniac individual. I am interested in his interactions with this community.
