CriticalDrop
Beers, grabs & dropped combos
I saw that coming...
I absolutely adore Kano's design (aesthetically and gameplay wise) and I think that with some effort he can do well against most of the roster at an intermediate or upper/intermediate level, where the player counts more than the character. However, at the highest level play, every flaw and advantage counts ten times more. In this regard, Kano's flaws (poor risk/reward ratio, lack of safe mids...) are too much for someone that aspires to compete in the FT8 in major tournaments.
It makes me very sad to see Bio dropping Kano. I've been following him since MKX as he have mained most of the characters I mained myself (Kano in MKX, Bane in IJ2, Kano in MK11) and I've learned a lot about them watching his matches in tornaments, but I feel he has done the right thing for his competitive career. I only hope that, if a patch fixes most of his issues, Bio returns to Kano.
