This is why the variation system sucks in this game.
Based on how good one character's variation is, the other ones get cast aside and when those variations get nerfed, these lesser ones suffer as well indirectly.
I'm calling it right now, this game will take eons to balance, and even then that is a subjective word. I don't even think it will ever get balanced the way things will go.
There have already been speculations for KP3, which I honestly doesn't happen for a variety of reasons with one of them being this patch.
This game is very one-dimensional in terms of playstyle, and even with the variation system, there is still no satisfaction as far as I'll be concerned since I got the game a few weeks back (which is not even my copy or my console but my friends).
Honestly, I hope after one more honest patch this game dies. That's just me because I feel no connection with the game at this point especially after this patch.
