It's just adorable that every time I read a post with blatant or thinly veiled negative remarks in it, the person has almost inevitably only just signed up on this site. Please understand that you are on a website that fosters a competitive community and players with a competitive mindset. The vast majority of us play for fun, but when doing so, we play to the best of our ability.
If you're playing in a way that purposefully handicaps you from using the strongest possible strategies, then you are NOT playing to win, even if you think you are. While you may even believe that you are doing this in the name of things like "not being cheap," you're not doing anyone any favors - particularly yourself. Push yourself! Push other players! Learning, improving, and playing these games at the highest level is far more fun than playing a "fake" version of the game shackled by some false notion of "honor" or whatever else. Let the scrubs (those players with no desire to improve) complain about "spam" or "cheapness." Here, we're all trying to have fun through self improvement.
I have been a zoner my entire life. I was playing Guile when I was 10 years old, and I'm still playing Guile now at over 30. I play a zoning MVC team. I play Peacock in Skullgirls. Etc etc. Deathstroke is a very entertaining zoning character thanks to the versatility of his up-close game and the availability of the universal armor options in this game.
