Breakthrough Kano Nerf Suggestions

Insuperable

My mom tells me I'm pretty
#1. Take away his OP mixup game. I don't want to walk through the death traps of Kano's knives just to get scrubbed out by OP rushdown 50/50s.
Suggestion: Make B2 33 frames instead of 23 (LBSH no one can react that fast). Make F3 37 frames. There needs to be a gap between the frames for it to be a non-braindead guessing game.
#2. Take out his knives/ball mixups. I'm not trying to jump the leap of faith just to get hit in the face by a flying man rolled up in a ball.
Suggestion: Kano can only roll on the ground. Knives do .07% chip damage.
#3. Choke pressure is OP. -1 is too strong.
Suggestion: I won't go crazy with this one because it's his main source of pressure. I'd say -2 or -3 would be fine with no pushback.
#4. For the love of god nerf upball!
Suggestion: Whiffs on crouching opponents, ball roll animation on stand block.
#5. Nerf Ex knife damage.
Suggestion: Ex knives no longer do more damage than regular knives. They should just have a bigger hitbox.

Update:
Thank you GuamoKun for bringing his X-ray to my attention.
#6: Kano's X-ray should not be in the game. It breaks the rules of fighting games. You get punished for blocking! WTF!
Suggestion: No more armor and have it do 29% damage tops. If you keep the armor, increase the startup by about 24 frames.

@Lumpymoomilk and @JacopeX have provided excellent arguments with Kano.
#7. Kano is a sore sport in both winning and losing. His spitting animation and "Bitch!" battle cry enforce bad sportsmanship to its viewership and can lead to drug use (possible other criminal activities). People can argue that this game is M for mature, but LBSH, the audience range is spectacular.
Suggestion: Take out his spit animations and "Bitch!" battle cries. Instead, replace them with "Are you okay?" and "Doody head."

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
Can someone please nerf his air throw? Jumpkick linking into air throw is broken and doesn't comply with the fundamentals of the jumpkick. And he already has a down-ball when he jumps so he doesn't even need it!

If anyone would like to add their opinions, please state your story and suggestion. Thank you. As a community, we need to take down this monster! (Unless we want to run a community effort in banning him from tournaments).

They're probably not gonna patch the game anymore so maybe we should start a petition to ban Kano from tournaments.

This ban does not require a petition and should be in effect immediately after this post. For almost 3 years I've had to put up with the bullshit armor on his EX straight ball, no other character can do that.
