As for Deadshot, I get what it's the problem with him in particular, it is that he can just shot the projectiles without the need to get close at all, there is no limit to backdashes like there is in MKX, he can create combos just from his meter-burn Machine Gun alone, and of course he can build all of that meter from the projectiles in addition to chip damage with them, so he can use the meter-burn projectiles even more. I saw
@PND_Ketchup and
@PND_Mustard playing in a stream against a Deadshot player who just kept back dashing and shot the projectiles, with no real keepaway approach or space control, and when you see these too complain, you know something can be argued. Like I said in the past, I used Reptile in MKX to catch people with Forceballs, and do a full combo to keep them away, and if they did managed to get close to me, or I couldn't zone them at all, I still had some tools from up close to use, and even from full screen I could've use EX Slide at the right moment. Not to be a jerk or anything, but that is a much more respectful way of Zoning and keep away, unlike the braindead approach that this particular Deadshot player used.
Of course it is still too early as the game isn't even one week old, so we need to check things out, and if you can't deal with a certain character, you can pick a different character. as a counter pick Of course you can be a character loyalist (hell I was a character loyalist like 98% of my time in both MK9 and MKX), but if you are gonna do so, you need to take into account the MU's and the issues that they can deal to you. Don't scream for buffs and nerfs just to help your own character, because that is flawed too.
EDIT: Just making myself clear, the issue here is that Deadshot can be used in a very braindead way (which can be said about also about other Zoners and Rushdowners a like), if your opponent use Deadshot in the right way, then that's good. Of course you still need to find a way to overcome this issue too, and like I said earlier, it's still too early.
I didn't say anything about him getting zoned out
So who did you mean to say that wag getting zoned out? Because sure as hell Reptile was never like that, and he was never bad at MKX, he only got better overall, and now he's extremely strong. And not only he doesn't get zoned out, he can zone very well himself.
