I think it's pretty silly to blame other people for Cherny constantly making questionable threads. That's his choice and his alone.
P.S. Not everybody thinks the game is a flawless, but some of us have learned how to
give feedback constructively on things that are actually reasonable given the meta, rather than ranting endlessly on things that are never going to change. Trying to make MK11 into some other game at the ground level is just a waste of time.
Machinegunning threads is also disrespectful to all the people who do enjoy the game, and, as you can see from this thread, think the movement etc. is perfectly fine.

The problem is here Crimson, people keep redrawing this line to define what's constructive and what is not. Eventually, with this community, it really does come down to you just aren't allowed to criticize the game.
My complaints with this game are valid, I don't essentially think the things I ask for are unrealistic except in an environment where complicity is the norm. A lot of people would like a new meta. I don't know ANYBODY who full on loves this game and only wants minor changes made to it. I'm 100% sure if a comprehensive survey were to be taken, you'd find the majority hate or are underwhelmed by this game. I talked with Wonderchef recently about this and him and I both agree MK11 is BAR NONE the most straight up disliked game if not the game that generates the most apathy since MK9. You can go back through TYM archives and see the sheer frequency of complaints or expression of not feeling the game are at an all time high.
This game lacks depth, it's too hard read focused, it's movement combined with it's basic character designs makes everyone essentially play the exact same and if you don't play that meta you suck. Even if you think the game is "fine", it's hard to find anybody who thinks the game is FUN, INTERESTING, FEELS LIKE IT REWARDS THEIR TIME INVESTED. When even Dragon is complaining, the guy who never complains, something about the game is off.
It's not even at this point about whether the game is balanced I guess. It's balanced for BAD REASONS. Boring reasons, and it's incredibly dismissive to simply write off the people who are dissatisfied with it and want what they feel like they should've gotten. At some point you're just dunking on people for being disappointed, and how is that any more productive than the screaming into the void you guys are always insisting the constructive criticism is?
