I understand TYM has it out for Kung Lao, but only about 20 votes for him when Tremor or Quan got a lot of votes, is hilarious. Tanya is without a doubt the most normalized. Lao has however gotten the most downplayed normalization.
I invite people to try playing him. Not one mix up, slowest buttons in the game, no strings allowed after EX hat. Chip damage is bad, throws are reactable, his OP jump attack is gone. One of the worst walk speeds in the game, horrible backdash, his teleport is still awful. Some of these problems existed pre patch, they were just downplayed because of how strong EX hat was, when 11 could jail and B321 was a thing after it.
He went from possibly top 1 in the game, to possibly mid tier. He definitely should be getting more votes lol.
