General/Other Official Patch Notes for Bane Announced by Ed Boon!

[Zoidberg747]

Makes him better in matches he did okay in, doesn't fix anything where he gets pummeled for free. Not a good start.

How are they supposed to fix the matches he gets pummeled in when he also pummels a lot of characters?

This buff doesnt really change much except forcing players to play smarter against Bane. I dont think they could have handled it any better without making him have more lopsided matches.

Black Adam, GL and Nightwing beat him because they have projectiles that don't behave like projectiles. He can't crouch Flash's lightning charge MB, either. Fix those and Bane is in much better shape.

They may have still done that, of course. I wish they'd just said so.

Oh well then yeah. But that will probably be in that characters patch notes.

100% agree on that though

I agree. If they don't play smarter against im now, he simply steam rolls over them. With trait active, he really doen't have to stop. If he makes good reads during trait, he can dish out a boat load of damage, while minimizing the damage he takes. He really can yolo for 18 seconds every 6 seconds.

 

[Icenick]

I'd still like to see his win animation buffed

But the damage he takes is still significant. It isnt like Aquaman where it is a get out of jail free card.

I dont even think this would change many of his MU numbers, it would just require a higher level of play vs. Bane

You say they don't behave like projectiles. How so? They ignore Bane's armor?

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

perhaps these upgrades will give you a "boost" - no pun intended.

Then why did you put the word boost in quotes?

 

[Grave__Intent]

WOW..a Damage reduction with Venom?..HOLLY SOGGY DONKEY BALLS BATMAN! Bane got BEEFED!

 

[LEGI0N47]

I'm meh about the buffs, we'll see how it playes. I like any true Bane player want most of all projectiles to actually be projectiles. And for anyone crying about the reduced damage taken it's a step in the right direction when we take that same amount of additional damage on cooldown. Where's Superman & GL's damage buff punishment?

 

[Zoidberg747]

Yes

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

Gruff Bundy.

Spoken like a fucking genius

 

[Peckapowa]

like most buffs they are good but don't address core issues

 

[Lord Hollow]

Yes

I did not know that. That... really sucks for Bane in those match ups, Especially with BA. It's bad enough he can run all day, but lightning can't even be bull charged through? Wow.

It's more like get out of jail on parole. If you get in trouble, you can pop it and take less damage. But what if you get caught on debuff and mixed up after? Clash. Reset the screen. Reset the venom. Hope you didn't blow too much bar on that combo that did 30% less cause then he's getting health back, too.

 

[cR WoundCowboy]

Maybe i'll have to learn how to block Bane's strings now .

In theory, a smart Bane would boost to level 2, get the 15% damage reduction, then block the mix up before or going into level 3. If he blocks the mix up, he can yolo. If not, he's taking a 30% reduction. Of course, if he doesn't block the next mix up....

DS BETTER GET MOAR BUFFS >:I

He clashes and nullifies the reduced damage you just did and resets his venom and the screen.

 

[Duck Nation]

Ultimately, I like this, provided that alongside the buffs there are the fixes he needs as well. This may make him overall better, but he's going to require even more thought on his venom management than he already did and that's a good thing. My initial reaction was "oh shit," but this works.

 

[GGA Max]

Zatanna does

Lol yeah. I hope this buff covers chip damage from projectiles too.

 

[Tiger Wong]

I
Love
The
Damage reduction buff.

And thinking about the uppercut mb thing...... I wonder if you can mb the uppercut really low to the ground and still have the kick out really low to the ground.

And I wonder of the kick has a hit of armor on it in addition to the hit of armor on the uppercut.

All things that I've been pondering as well. Safe on block too?...

by MB uppercut, is that a special attack or d2??

 

[Ryskew]

Never been a fan of Bane on Injustice, don't know why. Everything he does just feels gimmicky to me.
