Is Captain Cold still bottom 5? My Top 5 worst characters post patch in injustice 2

Swamp thing is the only of the low tier characters I feel is in his own shit tier. The rest (Grodd, Beetle, SubZero, and maybe Cyborg or Joker) are still completely viable and are much closer to the bulk of the cast.

Ive been playing quite a pit of Swamp thing and he doesnt seem that terrible, not sure why everyone hates him..
No one hates Swamp Thing. He's a beloved character everyone was super hype to see when he was revealed. He's just not as good as the rest of the cast.

To be fair, this has to be the most balanced NRS fighter of all time.

I like to play bad characters
Beetle's execution isn't really that hard.. He just has to work way harder in game than other characters for similar output. Why I think he's not that great.
exactly right. A lot of characters can do what he does, or damn close, much easier and have more control of the overall screen for less effort. I think he's super cool but not really worth it TBH. Well at least not for me.

Beetle has some tools and he's not bad per se but yeah he has to work hard, very hard, to do what other characters do for free.

On the subject of blue beetle and the suggestion that him needing higher execution than others to get the same results does not equal a worse character... execution is on you it is not a character flaw to have a higher execution barrier.
But you can argue that he needs to work harder in the neutral to get the same job done. That's a little different than sheer execution

Yo I have been telling people that Beetle is an amazing character since the start.
I don't understand how people are saying he has no tools.
He has great footsie's, great zoning, great mobility and his damage is fine to.
Like in the Mu chart I posted pre patch I believe he only looses very few mus and goes even if not win most. Obviously that is my opinion but I just don't see the reason why the community downplays him especially those who don't play him or run the Mu.
hes a solid character.
Can someone please enlighten me to why he has to "Try harder" than most chars?

Eh, Blue Beetle at bottom 5 don't really sound right, IMO.
To be fair though, 'bottom 5' doesn't mean what it's traditionally meant in NRS games. When you look through the cast, there aren't many characters that you'd consider to be straight-up 'bad'.

So bottom 5 isn't necessarly a discussion of who's completely unviable, (except for maybe Joker and Swamp) but moreso who's just not quite as good as the characters above them.

(Same goes for Top 5 -- they aren't broke, just marginally better than the characters below).

I am sorry your highness that my chart does not please you.
I shall leave and go back to the other peasants (Blue Beetle community) and leave you be on your high chair.
You should maybe think about actually putting some input into the Beetle community.
Seems like you just spurt out random remarks every now and again rather than discussing things.

When have I ever been in a high horse? I was just giving my opinion.

It's just not very good, but most MU charts are.

That chart is ass, but thanks for contributing

I have said over and over that they were just my opinion at the time and are subject to change I also stated I made it to get feedback on each MU.
I don't just randomly turn up in a thread sometimes like you telling people their opinion's suck.
I was just posting my opinion in general in this thread and asking why there is so much downplay for Beetle.
Was not aimed at you or anyone in general.

I was just spitballing, I dont know shit about Brainiac, he was just bad before the patch is all I knew. I was honestly really struggling to make a bottom 5 list past Swamp, Joker, and Grodd
Brainiac was probably bottom 10 before patch. He's really fucking good now though. Maybe top 10, but whatever it is, he's in a good place regardless. No changes pls NRS :)

Shrink has a good chan but his click bait video titles are pathetic and he should be ashamed... take a look though his video names.. you should be ashamed.
What's wrong with my title? I say top 5 worst after the patch and then I give my opinion. Click bait insinuates that I don't follow up on the title. I challenge you to go through the channel and find a title that the video deviates from. I intrigue but never deceive

Title of the video is perfectly accurate, I don't see any bait.

It's a list of the bottom 5 characters. Mentions Cold because the previous one he made had Cold bottom 5 and this in the context of Sonic Fox finding success with thecharacter.

Blue beetle is my favorite char to plqy in injustice right now. His execution requirements are what i like, his zoning is great and he makes characters like atrocitus uncomfortable which is a plus.

He also hits like a truck with background bounces and are large characters whom he can hit with db1 mid combo on them standing

you know what you are doing.. don't act all surprised.
You're really reaching.

He's competing for eyeballs on YouTube, he has to make titles that will draw attention. But, I don't see how this title is at all some BS title irrelevant to the content.

Dink is making content for a wide audience, including casuals, and honestly who is producing more consistent Injustice 2 content than him? I don't think even the condiment bros are. Dink has carved himself a nice lil niche with these videos and I like them a lot.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
