Because everyone has such a giant ego on this goddamn site that if you're having trouble beating something it's always because it's OP or Broken. Everyone on this forum is would-be Evo Champion if not for- Alien, Erron Black, Kitana, Kung Lao etc etc etc
People hate buff and nerf threads because they are so constantly wrong.
Remember when EVERYONE had Kitana ranked either mid-tier or low-tier and the Sonicfox kicked everyone's ass with her and suddenly she was OP and she had always been OP.
Remember when M2Dave went on a rant about how awful Tremor was but then players like DJT showed that he was in fact stupidly good.
Remember when no one was using Mileena at all and players like FoxyGrandpa showed how good she was.
Remember with Blood God was Kotal Kahn's most useless variation until Madzin started taking names with him.
Here's a video of Honeybee beating Sonicfox's Deadshot with his Flash forcing a switch to Black Adam.
The problem with asking for any kinds for buffs or nerfs is that they should only be considered once the character is being played at the highest level. There's all sorts of tech yet to be discovered. I will admit that I am not the best player in the world and that ducking one million wrist shots is no one's idea of fun but I haven't even begun using MB roll to its highest potential. I haven't even BEGUN being able to read my opponents moves yet. At this point I haven't even played some characters in the game. If I fought a Poison Ivy or a Cheetah this afternoon I would have literally no idea whether their moves are safe or plus or negative or mid or overhead or whatever.
GIVE IT TIME. If changes are necessary only straight-up match-up experience will tell.
And remember, using a Top 5 character will not make you a Top 5 player. Consider the idea that you might not be as good as you think you are the next time you lose a match.
