The reality is that the community's top players can win with zoning or rush down. The players who were winning at the end of Mortal Kombat X's lifespan are the same players who have been winning in Injustice 2. There are no "frauds" in either game. Some of the top players may gravitate toward a certain gameplay style, but they are sufficiently talented to play any character at a high level and adapt to any meta.
Hello, Dave. I love you.

Overwatch is a bad esport game, boring to watch without competition kept alive by his creator with millions of $ dumped in the garbage by a company that have millions $ to waste.
Overwatch is now an A-level esport game with 100,000+ people showing up to watch the matches every week. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Wow never thought I'd see someone think Deadshot is low and BB is top. I haven't played I2 for months that many changes huh? I remember the days when BB was just bad.

Deadshot just got the nerf hammer but I think Beetle was always an okay to solid character that people just thought was bad. Buffs to his damage, hitboxes and making his wakeup better on whiff made him better to where we see him now. I don't know how Beetle players feel about him but that was always my take. I don't think he got overbuffed or anything but I don't think the character was night and day from how he was pre patch.

In the current version of the game, I think Blue Beetle is one of the most versatile characters in the game. He can zone and rush down. He has great aerial mobility. The range on normal attacks is a little short, but he has trait and shield slam, which does have good range and makes all strings safe on block while not in trait. He is not a character who is easy to use by Injustice 2's standards. Nonetheless, he is well-represented in tournaments by Deoxys and Rewind.

I originally The Flash in top tier and Blue Beetle in high tier, but Slips made the suggestion to flip them.

Scarecrow, Ivy, Cyborg and Supergirl in the same tier as Raiden?
REO kept pushing for mid tier. I personally believe he is low tier, but he is the best character in that category.
