Sounds godlike.

 

[pogse]

wake up free

 

[LEGEND]

The teleport buff's could be pretty huge. hopefully his corner issues with his D4 are fixed to

 

[MagicMan357]

Sounds great, the patch is gonna make this game crazy

 

[Qwark28]

Superand improved hitbox fix of 22 aren't even buffs, they're fucking fixes

I don't know how I feel about the MB teleports yet. We'll have to see how it turns out

mb teleport is basically a inurface SAFE teleport, how bad can it be?

 

[Soulofsuikoden]

Ares is going to be extremely difficult to pressure on wake up. He's gone from the worst wake up to possible the best. Defensively at least.

 

[InFlames]

Thank you Based Boon.

 

[Jaku2011]

Ugh another character that gets to ignore oki, fantastic.

 

[RM Truth]

Rampage254 called that MB teleport in my thread. Suspicious.

I agree, I said I don't know how I feel about them yet. It sounds fucking promising though

Poor Lobo.

I secretly work for NRS

 

[Qwark28]

When the full patch notes hit I better see some juicy ass shit for Joker. Everyone got great to semi useful shit except Joker and Shazam, you better buff dat ass

 

[4x4lo8o]

So basically they fixed some bugs and gave him Zatanna's teleport?

Better than I expected, it fixes his wake up problems. Still kinda disappointing

 

[The Gabriel]

THEY DID IT!

I've been calling for a backwards teleport as the buff Ares needs since we first started talking buffs and I was always shot down. This will potentially be a HUGE help to his wake-up game...as long as the b.s. wakeup teleport glitches are no longer present.

 

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

I don't think the oki vulnerability was Ares problem.....But now that he doesn't TP right in front of or behind opponent, that'd be good.

Though, unlike Zatanna, which I think is what they were going for, picture this fine ass madness: MB Teleports, with 2 of the new ones being behind and infront air teleports.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

He can now be as safe as Zatanna & now he will be able to "run" with backwards teleport. Nice <3

 

[Tony at Home]

WOW.

 

[WaywardStranger]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

Besides, multiple teleports should improve his zoning game and make him an OK total zoner now, rather than TPs being pure offense.

Also, invisible+teleports. Yay

 

[EMPEROR_THEO]

I am many excite.

I just hope there isn't any cryptic notes in the patch like "Superman's ground laser less down frees him up consistentleey faster and he has less laser falling after straight"

Come on brother you know how jaded I am...this is great great news for Ares, especially considering these are just some of the changes. Giving him more teleports AND a meter burned teleport is potentially very, very good for him and solves a bunch of glaring flaws.

The only question I have about this is how the meter burn teleport is going to work. I have been clamoring for the startup to be faster, not the recovery. This seems to mean that even meter burned, we still won't be able to teleport on reaction to anything. Although if we can meter burn the teleport late, then that can essentially bail us out of a bad read.

 

[Chaosphere]

Interesting.
