MKXL Balance Patch Confirmed (UPDATED)

[Doombawkz]

If they're getting out zoned, doesn't that qualify as being outplayed?

If they're less skilled, wouldn't they fall into patterns?

I know the narrative is that keep away is "braindead," but define "less skilled?" How exactly do you measure that?

Flocko seems to have no trouble getting in on HQT,one of the best zoners in the business.

You could be as skilled as you want with vanilla Bane.

You're not getting in on a semi-competent vanilla Batman or Deathstroke.

Even the most skilled chef cannot make bread if you do not give him the dough to do it.

i just want to make one final appeal for sanity here and remind people that "balanced" does not mean "turned into a completely different game". Even with a different set of tiers, MKX will still be a pressure filled hellscape with bad zoning and questionable anti-airs.

 

[Eddy Wang]

While they're hopefully finally buffing Hat Trick in a meaningful way I hope they fix this

RIP Lao.

i'm not a tier whore bruh. i will always play my beloved mileena.

Long live the empress

Will this patch eliminate shit that we have had to bear for ages, like +million on block puddle or Takeda's htbs?

I seriously doubt it.

 

[Gofer_MK]

Kano will take it hard.xD

So now that we're getting a patch at the end of the year, will MKXL be coexisting with Injustice 2 and will it be getting a 3rd year of tournaments?

If people play it, sure.

Realistically, probably not.

Since it won't be at EVO again, people will just focus on Injustice 2.

:tonyt@Youphemism remember when you said its absolutely not happening

It being at evo or not will likely be determined by tournament attendance. The patch could help in that aspect

I said there'd be no news at EVO and that the news was the pot bonus, and I was right about that.
I said there'd be no KP3 and technically we can't ever count it out but it's unlikely.
I did NOT say there would FOR SURE/DEFINITELY be no patch coming, I said I didn't think there was one coming. What I DID say was that there was no concrete evidence/actual confirmation of the patch coming which up until now there wasn't.

Now you guys are twisting my words to try and find something to blow me up over? That's really sad. If you're going to blow me up at least make sure you're not blowing me up for something I never said. But you'll claim I did say it and you will, as per usual, not actually have any evidence to back it up with so when I call you out for making shit up you'll change the subject or start insulting me. Typical. Maybe make sure you're not misquoting next time?

At least we have ACTUAL confirmation now and people can sotp making assumptions which begs the question why didn't he just tell us this in the first place? This lack of communication just causes too many problems. But I guess this is a step in the right direction.

Could've taken it with dignity SMH TAKE IT TAKE IT

 

[omooba]

100% of the people that are trash and sit on TYM to complain, will not actually play and improve because of this patch.

That's all I know.

Edit: Oh and i'm gonna bust all of my doubters asses with whatever character is shifted to top tier after Alien.

the only thing as good as a top player character loyalist is a top player tier whore who owns it giving no fucks

My body is more than ready.

The competition for EVO spots is too tough next year to give two spots to NRS games.

Maybe they will make a side tourney.

You Hear that Bo Rai Cho...? yes...YES!

They laughed as they kept you full Screen Bo...No longer...

 

[lilyunggrabbagjr]

I agree. It's just to the point in some matchups were she can't poke, she can't whiff punish pokes, her mids get low profiled so she can't enforce plus frames and she has no way to make the opponent approach her.

Takeda for example, his blocking hitbox means that after blocking any of her strings into df2, or f12, s4 and d1 will whiff. Not to mention the massive challenge that is getting in on Takeda with his range and her lack of range anyways. A reflect buff and a d4 buff would fix these glaring issues without really breaking her.

but isnt that a matchup that you wouldnt use high tech in anyway

 

[Juggs]

Yeah, like @Youphemism and also @Pig Of The Hut, we never said there won't be a patch. At least, I know I didn't. What I said is there will be no KP3 announcement at EVO, and unlikely to be a KP3 at all. I still doubt a KP3 will happen.

Bunch of gods.

Absolutely insane predictions.

 

[BanTheTesters]

Why should Bo Rai' Cho get the buffs? He's fine as he is now.

I will always laugh at him for I have whips and they reach pretty far

 

[Skylight1]

Oh Hell no. Can I just say I'm NOT happy for this? Just when I think I've finally got Ethereal and Ravenous down to a "T", this comes out? I'm already looking forward to seeing nerfed characters get horribly worse or the "OMG staph" top tiers, receive courtesy tickle-- "nerfs".

Necromancer, MOS, Unbreakable, Hat Trick, Warrior/Hunter, Pyromancer will still be left like crap.

 

[Tweedy]

Warrior/Hunter and Pyromancer are all good on this version lol.

Do you people actually play this game?

A good point, but I don't think Bo Rai cho is Vanilla Bane levels of bad.
