Should DLC be temporarily banned from tournaments like mk9/inj not mkxl

[HomeLee1121]

Scorpion has never been broke lol

wow

 

[DarksydeDash]

if stream monsters want to see high level play then they watch any of the streams on twitch for their fix, this should never be allowed after what happened with KP2.

No one knows what the new characters can do and the fact that ij2 is a back to block game makes it even easier to find cheap setups.

I think he was talking about Injustice Scoprion
And early MKX Hellfire with +1001010 gapless fireball cancel pressure was not balance either

 

[SHAOLIN]

Good to see logic over hype.

 

[Raiderhorn]

But what do we do if after the ban is up the DLC characters are just bullshit still? Batgirl, Zodd, MMH, Triborg, Jason

Jason was ASS on release and there was nothing remotely bullshit about him at the time

OOOHHHHHHH injustice scorpion, LMAO, my bad lemme rephrase

MKX scorpion was never broke. Everything in early MKX was "broke", it's not like scorpion stood out.

You weren't around back then, go watch CEO for injustice scorp

 

[Raiderhorn]

Always been for temporarily banning them and always will be.

 

[Solomon Gorondy]

Two months is too much.

Two weeks to break'em in.

Banned indefinitely if they turn out to be broke.

 

[JDM]

NRS has consistently shown they are incapable of (or just against) balancing their DLC on release. Yes, a 1-2 month ban is probably the best course of action.

 

[GrimJack]

One month ban should always be the way to go. Give people some time to figure out the characters as well as maybe nrs patching

 

[xMEECH]

I mean, if people had a month to "learn how to deal with CEO Tanya"... she still should've been banned. I'm more in favor of waiting until they're patched instead of waiting until we accept paulo's vision and have 8 of the same character in top 8

I voted no and here's my reasoning.

I don't think DLC should be allowed in tournament the day it comes out. I think a 30 day ban is more than fair. But I don't think DLC that's released two/three weeks after launch should be banned until after EVO. Sure, once 15th June hits, ban all DLC released after from EVO, but as the game will already be relatively new for everyone, the difference that the extra 3 weeks will make is minimal.

If the ban is being justified because "DLC is broke on launch in principle", I'll point you to Lobo, Zatanna, Jason, Leatherface as counter examples.

In essence, I don't disagree with a temporary ban, but I think any more than 30 days - especially when the game is as new as it is and almost all characters are essentially "new" - is too much.

 

[BlackJackSnack]

In the past I have disagreed with you on this pig, but in hindsight I now agree. Playing a "new" game before people have time to adjust is not as entertaining. Especially if you have 6/8 of the players in top 8 playing one character. *tanya*

 

[zerosebaz]

I think they should be banned for a month. More than that may be too much. You need to give people time to learn how to fight against them.

Im glad to see most people agree on this.

 

[Vak Phoenix]

Of course. You do not want last years april to repeat im sure.

 

[FrankOceansWaifu]

I mean DLC arrives for everybody at the same time. If one guy can spend time learning the character in however amount time there is before a tournament, the other guy can spend time learning to fight against said character.

Lobo had a day 1 infinite w otg grab loop

Lobo had a day 1 infinite w otg grab loop

Ever stop to think maybe he needed it? Quit up playing and git gud smfh kappa

 

[Eddy Wang]

Thank god the majority is in agreement. The answer is easily yes, enough of this "NRS has learn their lesson", they didn't.

60 days before tournament legal is fair, but what happens if that character is stupid broke then? Will he be allowed after 60 days expire anyways or he will be tournament banned if that's the case?

But there's still isn't a downside to a one month ban though. . .

I'm all for it. Its basically get tournament goers more breathing room.

I'm pretty sure it would be widely known by the next dlc & be addresses by time the release of that dlc.

(hopefully sooner.)

 

[Raiderhorn]

Whether a DLC character on release is not good or too good they still need to be treated with the same penalty of being temporarily banned. There can't be any exceptions drawn for DLC characters based on that principle, it's either they are treated that way or they aren't.

If Jason was allowed to play but Tanya wasn't during CEO, that'd be a huge debate in itself. Keep DLC out for a while

 

[shura30]

it has more to do with tournament frequency
if we're going to have 1/month it's ok to allow dlc within such distance from a major
if there's going to be more than that say 1/15days, 'we' might as well allow them from the start

dlc is still part of the game and this is the game we play
same could happen with a major patch dropping close to any tournament
tier shifting is basically the same as allowing dlc

 

[Roachthroat]

I'm 100% temporary ban for fear of hasty overkill nerfing due to lack of MU experience.
