Learn from this.
I need to preface this by saying I have no problem with people who play Deathstroke legitimately, this is more so directed at fraudulent players in general.
After about a year or so of playing IGAU online and enjoying it for the most part, I have noticed a trend among the top place leader board holders, many of them play the most fraudulent Deathstrokes I have ever seen. Now of course I'm sure many people have already discussed something similar to this topic, however I have a different question to pose.
Too many times have I seen players who simply have one tactic and if they cannot execute their plans often they get blown up and simply make no effort to try and change up what they are doing. Which brings us back to Deathstroke and how seemingly there is an outline on how to play him in the most simplistic, and many times most effective at gaining wins over actually good players (only online based on the amount of Deathstroke players that place in tournies). This usually involves abuse of Deathstroke's decent zoning (albeit, very easy to execute in comparison to someone like Zod or MMH) and his retreating J3.
Now from many first reference accounts of this strategy actually beating out other much more skilled and knowledgeable players in KOTH matches, it made me wonder, how is it possible for someone to have the deluded idea that they are actually better than most of the other people who play IGAU online, as well as the idea that it is fun doing the same strategy for every game and every match-up, never trying to adapt to how anyone else is playing, just hoping your opponent won't have a direct counter strategy to yours.
For reference I will mention one of the many fraudulent Deathstrokes I have had the displeasure of playing, I believe he goes by the username INCORRUPTIBLE or some l33t variant of that on the PS4. This player has over 10000 wins and is at the top of the ranked leaderboards, which needles to say doesn't say much about a player'a skill based on how hard I bopped him once I figured out what he was doing, making him subsequently rage quit and refuse to play me again if we got matched up against each other.
Having this said, the way he played made me seriously question WHY, why would anyone want to play a game like this, especially for so long without any change. This also made me think if there will be any characters that cater to this type of behavior in MKX, anyway feel free to reply with any of your thoughts about this and possibly some answers if you can think of them (cause I sure can't).
P.S This is my first post so sorry if its too long or whatever and thanks taking the time to read it.
