Thank you guys at NRS so much for buffing Bane. It's amazing that you guys listened to our pleas and cries, all of us Bane mains are forever grateful.

- Bane's backwards throw damage normalized
- Bane's forward dash is faster
- Level 2 Venom recovers 1.5 seconds faster, Level 3 recovering three seconds faster,

I think we should all extend our gratitude to NRS for this. Rejoice!

I already tweeted them. Anyone that has twitter, look up @InjusticeGame

Now, let's show our appreciation and discuss what these buffs mean!

 

[haketh]

I still don't think it's enough to get him out fo bottom three. Jump Arc is still garbage, still has ludicrous startup frames on a ton of things, and damage taken penalty still there.

 

[big_aug]

Is this live?

What's the throw DMG thing?

Great start here. The cooldowns are a great place to start. Better to go easy than over buff and fuck us with needs later.

 

[AA25Mamba]

The dash speed is going to help so much on knockdowns being tech rolled. Also, the decreased cooldown time makes even LVL 3 Venom useful. I'll actually be going to that LVL on occasion. It doesn't take away the extra damage taken, but Bane is much better with this.

It'll do 11% now.

 

[big_aug]

6 second cool down on lvl 3 is legit. If you land anything, you'll basically be out of debuff.

I'm excited to test the dash.

 

[AA25Mamba]

I'm so happy pressure with him won't slip away because someone tech rolled and Bane's dash won't reach in time. The venom cooldown is a HUGE step toward Bane being a viable character.

If this all does happen, its not tt bad. Its something i can agree on.

EDIT: yea, didn't see that the patch notes were posted on the injustice game site. So yea it's all true. Like to see bane players messin' people up now.

im gonna thank them now as a matter of fact! and can someone explain what they ment by backwards throw damaage

It will do 11% like it should.

 

[jfunkey]

I'm kinda sad i wasn't tagged in this

But anyway, to the changes. I think these are much needed changes and making his movement on the ground better will help significantly, i still he will suffer quite a bit but these should help a lot.

 

[ShenYuan]

Thank you NRS!

 

[TotteryManx]

I can now finally pick up Bane. To you guys that think 1-3 second differences on Venom doesn't make a difference...you will see. That coupled with a faster dash? He is about to wreck shit. He will be a tournaments wreckoning. lol

 

[big_aug]

I didn't think they'd go the route of reducing the cool down. This could be huge. Maybe I'm getting over excited though. In a fighting game, the difference between 9 seconds and 6 seconds is pretty big.

 

[JaredL]

I'm gonna be slipping into level 2 more often now.

Maybe even level 3 if I'm feeling adventurous, as opposed to suicidal.

Shit son, level 2 all day. If you aren't going lvl 2, you're doing it wrong.

 

[its_ezie]

what was it doing before?

 

[JaredL]

what was it doing before?

9%

Basically, everyone in the games throw did 11% except sinestro and Bane.

Now the only throw that won't do 11% is banes forward throw.

Edit: Just noticed that sinestros forward throw also is 9%

WHY. What's the point of it? I don't get why a forward throw is so bad that it needs attention for two characters who... don't really need throwing that much.

 

[RYX]

what was it doing before?

I think 9%.

 

[big_aug]

So if you run that new duration through Doombawkz 's VLE equation, you get .9 for lvl 3 and .445 for lvl 2 vs. .29 for lvl 1. So it works the way you would think post-patch instead of full retard pre-patch.

Unless i fucked up my maths lol

I'm going to be abusing lvl 3 for a while

Wait, does this mean that level 2 will be most efficient now?

 

[big_aug]

No, this means lvl 3 will be the most efficient, on paper. Basically, it gets better each level you go up instead of getting worse as it did before the changes.

The real kicker here is that even if you get caught after going lvl 3, if you were able to delay even just a little, you're going to drop the debuff mid combo a lot of the time.

Noice.

I wonder too, how big his dash boost will be. If it is big enough, the debuff to his speed might be less impactful, and it might allow him an easier time vs zoners. Things are looking up for Bane.

 

[Citizen Kano]

Well, it's a start. I wish they axed the debuff though. He'll still get blown up by anyone with decent zoning.

Still, at least lvl 3 venom isn't complete suicide now, I guess.
