Lets not knee jerk, people said roughly the same thing after the PnG buff, and basically nothing changed exposure-wise. We don't know which if these changes will leave the beta.

50% optimal 1 bar BnB's. Ridiculous meterless. 70% in the corner. Plus frames. Full screen combo starter. Etc etc etc 100. Now this.
Which all come at a cost, quite a heavy one, either with a bar or with the damage from PnG, chef's 74% cost him 15%, heck they might even bump up the self inflicted damage from PnG, in fact they prolly should if this is going to stay. Heavy punishes have always been Ruthless' niche.
Kinda? technically Lackey and R/V share db2 input (different special tho), that can be meter burned whereas currently R/V can't
I would never have thought that F/T would ever have a chance of contending with Lao. But now F/T has a full screen 50/50 mix-up that launches and crushes projectiles. And that's just one of his buffs. I'm happy for these changes, but damn. That'll likely be scary as hell.Divekick and teleport are both full combo punishable on whiff you know
and he does have a big hitbox & slow buttons
I'd bet money that most of those are coming from people who don't play them. While I am ecstatic about the buffs and they no doubt huge buffs, I doubt they will break the character, we could always see some nerfs coming along with these.
Some people regard Jax as S tier just because I can't play him that well doesn't make them wrong.... are you picking up what I'm putting down?K...
Like always it depends a lot on the player, but the Lao match up isn't too bad, I'd say pretty even. Lao has better mixups and pressure, F/T has better damage and ranged options. it might be 6/4 to F/T, since we have options to get out of Lao pressure.
Its not a 50 50 full screen though, you can react
I always liked Lackey before because of blowing up Lao's wake-up with f2 xx Charge. But now I have no idea. It'll take me months to figure out match-ups again, and that's if they don't nerf him or touch him at all.
I know you can, but you can still condition people. There's always an opportunity to catch people with it. You just need to know the right moment.
I took the screenshot just because i knew people would doubt but meh. They will see when its 2 months after kp2 and we get nothing but bug fixes lol
You're talking to a Kano player who's character got nerfed in ONE DAY because he did "too much damage", which was less than I'm seeing currently with less plus frames, no cancels, less range, while also losing 15% to get there. Can't justify "cost" of reward to me when my character got nerfed for less.
Things I can think of that relate are Ermac having Lift in all 3 variations, but Mystic Lift launches meterless while the other two require meter. Mileena having a low Sai in one variation. But most relative is Johnny Nut Punch having a MB after normal NP in A-List to continue combos, but you can't MB on hit in the other two variations.
Yes but also saying a character is "s+ tier but I can't play them at level" invalidates whatever opinion you have.
I pretty much agree with this 100%. Maybe 98%. We'll see after the patch.
Yeah I pretty much agree too, but I'd prefer to wait until we get the actual patch to come to any real conclusions.
In the beta? lol I'm not surprised.
Essentially I agree. Not entirely sure what they were thinking with giving Ruthless all this, but it makes sense for Vicious. Vicious is the counterzoning/space control variation and it also works for the things you mentioned.
I think Ruthless should keep the MB low. all three variations options at fullscreen are less than stellar. Giving Ruthless something that can bring the opponent back to them isn't going to far imo. it's not like its not reactable outside of midscreen, or minus on block.
