Deadshot after patch

AK Stormthegates

WOOLAY!!!!
So he is still good. Wish they adressed his zoning rather than his upclose game to make him a bit more fun but eh whatevs i won money at a tourney last night so idgaf anymore.
 
lol dude his zoning is what makes him good , without it he would be trash
there are multiple characters that are good due to their zoning that are incapable of zoning against him because of projectile speed, recovery time, and blue trait.

that is a baseless argument. the reality is that he is the best zoner, and no other dedicated zoner can play against him and we have to rely on pocket characters to provide a bad matchup for him (catwoman, cheetah, supergirl, etc).

the entire overreaction to deadshot since the game came out is based in the fact that he happens to be a zoner that is just barely good enough to stand up against the top tier characters and actually win games. yes he is the best zoner, but he's not broken and he never has been. yes he beats other zoners. get over it.

I am over it, and I'm not calling him broken. I'm only saying that the argument of his zoning not being able to be touched because that's what makes him good would be the same argument for literally every other zoner - and that if it *isn't* touched, then the only option is for people to run multiple characters.

sure, his zoning being dialed back would make matchups more difficult - but it wouldn't make him "trash" and that is just as much an overreaction as those who claim he's broken.

In Zoning We Trust
Lol I thought people were over the unstoppable Deadshot hype? It's August already.

Of course he wins some MUs. Some of you guys begged for his up close to get nerfed and it did. The character also already has multiple bad MUs. Yea you may need a pocket character if you play Swamp Thing but that's the game. There are very few characters in this game without bad MUs, and Deadshot is not one of them.

Deadshot was definitely hurt by the patch. They took away his 6f normal, so the Superman MU just got infinitely worse. Supergirl got mad buffs too, so now she's like a super counter to DS, as if she wasn't bad enough already.

I haven't done enough testing, but slowing down F1 and B1 might hurt his optimal combo damage, and he already had piss poor damage to begin with.

Never seen a good deadshot lose to supergirl so I really don't understand this "super counter" thing

It is better this way
Deadshot definitely isn't broken, he's super obnoxious but not broken. He's the only zoner that is top tier, so for people who like zoning that's good. I think Deadshot is mostly fine, any Deadshot hate I have comes from being a Dr. Fate main, but it's just a bad matchup, it happens.

Deadshot has to rely on a pocket against deadshot, what is your point. Fate has way more utility and damage potential. Dr fate vs deadshot still isn't as bad as people make it, chill out be patience use the ahnks for pressure and your golden.

Thanksgiving corner game, going ham and stuffing
I find myself still frauding people with "not real" staggers.
Played a Deadshot yesterday that did a b12, f2 stagger. I felt like an idiot letting him get away with it on block, but there it is. Not being able to OS a poke (ahem - Hulk MASH) makes a decent difference. Even post patch, the mix is real.

Yet I noticed Semiij had zero trouble when Sonic fox used it, so clearly I just need to level up lol
