Your opinion, you're entitled as am I. I disagree, she is an annoying character to deal with and can do everything very well rounded unlike say Starfire who's a great zoner but is weak up close with little to no mix ups. I used to use SG,and dropped her because she's not a challenge and I was getting tired of hatemail...she was definitely not already bad or fun to use and has lots of shenanigans.
Her teleport gives her a big edge in lots of match ups in this game, she can zone, has great mix ups, combos and rushdown. Even 16 said this on one of the streams(his view is as respectable as any "top player") that lot of people were asking how to counter SG. I'm not saying she is the top in the game but she definitely didn't suck their views are all relative. They argue with each other often about tiers on here daily so this means little to me. I believe you don't have to be a pro to understand a games mechanics or tiers etc or archtypes etc. Point is they buffed characters that didn't need it and didn't who did(GL, FS, BB etc) and I know this because I am a GL main from day one and used to use BB but he just can't compete with his bad damage output among few other issues, ask anyone who uses BB as well as GL they'll tell you they need buffs.
He did that because she got buffed though & people are paranoid about her changes lol. So they were curious about how to fight against her. Not because she was already strong. And in the patch stream, he along with the rest of the casters all agreed that she needed more safety & she took a lot of risks for the reward that she got. You can even look it up.
Most people who argue this view point of she didn't need any buffs are people who either hate her in general (for casual purposes not competitive) or they just didn't really understand how to deal with her like they all want to think they do, but just typed stuff. Then of course, people like to complain in general instead of learning how to deal. Now the one's who absolutely dislike her "period" are salty, letting their personal agendas for why they don't like her get in the way of actual good balance. Like most people here do anyway. Same way with Aquaman too tbh, & the people who glorify him being nerfed can say what they want to. Sonic Fox, Scar, many others were even vocal of her gaps and no real safety. Not saying you did, just people in general. I'm just replying because you said she didn't need anything, but that just simply isn't true. She was a character that had to rely on gimmicks & hope that players didn't know how to exploit her gaps in between her strings & special cancels that made her safe.
I can't speak for all Supergirl players but me & a select few said to make only 1 string safe which was b123. That one change would've made her better character regardless of damage increase. I thought she was decent in the sense of how her neutral is played. I didn't expect a damage increase, standing 2 mid, or any other changes except for b123 being safe (before you assume like everyone else likes to do to Supergirl mains).
But back to Starfire, she looks really fun & she seems like a moving wall.
