I'm a big Bane hyper, but honestly I don't like you SuperSayianYoshi.
Not that you should care, but I'd rather you not come into our section with counter-productive topics like this. Bane isn't that great, no big problem. Buffs happen, he is still fun to play and I don't plan to change my main any time soon. Everyone knows why he isn't all that good, he has some bad normals. No one can deny his dominance in the corner and his trait is pretty good in spite of the drawbacks (+125% damage for only 108% debuff) especially with the changes now making him do more than he takes. He hasn't been explored but we are pretty much the busiest part of the forum and the most tech-heavy side of it as well. We put in extra work so topics like this don't happen.
Bane isn't very good because he is a striker. He isn't meant to do anything but take you to the corner and make you never leave. He has tools to do so, amazing advantage when he does hit, resets that force the opponent to react in as little as 8 frames to an armored assult, great oki game, and decent damage for what its worth. In trade off, he has to have crappy start up and slow stuff. Can you imagine a Bane with faster normals AND his huge advantage? He would be way more powerful than he should be.
IMO, for how the game is and how little we realistically know, Bane is right where he should be. We are able to explore and at the same time enjoy a character. Do I feel he is the worst? Not personally, I feel Lobo, Joker, and Harley take that spot. People underestimate and downplay Bane a lot, but its understood and not entirely inaccurate as to why they do. He lacks what a lot of characters naturally have and he didn't get buffed per se, more so fixed to what he should have been before. I plan to stick with him and keep working on him until he is relevant and viable, but its not an easy road. No one said it would be, but its the road I want to walk.
Bane has to be one of the worst because end all, SOMEONE has to be in that spot. Theres no possible way for everyone to be at the top, someone has to be at the bottom for the top to exist. Its our job to try and get out of that bottom, so please, don't make negative topics with awful capitalization asking why he is one of the worst. Its because he haven't found what makes him good yet. If theres something to find, we won't do so by sitting around complaining. That's really all there is to it.
