Thanks, exactly I think there's two kinds of players(besides hardcore and casual) the people who break down everything technical and not have as much fun due to such, and the player who just has fun accepts it for being just that a game and can accept that. Pretty much, if it bugs someone just drop it and try something else.Very good example. Games that we've grown to love and sometimes still play till this day never had balance patches or fixes. We just enjoyed what was given. Thats something this new generation of gamers should learn. Appreciate what you have and if you don't like it, don't bitch about it. Just move on to something else and support that. Its that simple.
Yeah I mean years ago I used to think "balance is everything" the way people would attack MK, but then I realized it's way overrated. If every FG was perfectly balanced it would be boring af, no interesting match ups. Like with everything in the world competitive regardless of the game or sport, you have your bad teams, mediocre teams and very good teams. If everyone was the same level it wouldn't be that interesting, of course at the same time you don't want one character or player just always winning either but this rarely happens anyway. Yeah that's a great example with Chess though some may argue intelligence makes that game unique and I won't say necessarily unbalanced but perhaps a mismatch depending on the kinds of players but that's the players not the game itself. I agree.I think balance is one of the most miss used words in the FGC.. and in gaming in general. Balance is NOT what you want in a game... things do not need to be balanced to e good. Balance is actually a completely unnatural state, unless your talking about physics. There is NO balance in any sport or game.. unless the game is identical for both players. Like Chess is balanced, for example, but your favourite football code is not balanced.
Balance is not something that the devs should be striving for. It would make the game horribly boring.
Fun fact, Injustice has always been more about about zoning while MK has been more about rushdown, so in MK its always easier to going in, while in Injustice its harder doesn't mean that rushdown doesn't exists in the game though.Considering people’s feelings on I2 I hope going in and attacking is more viable in the next one.

Totally right on that one dude, that's the spirit.My thing is, you don't have to like any of the games.. But stop trying so hard to rain on the parade of the people who are enjoying them and continue to play them. INJ2 has plenty of entrants at majors, and a lot of people are still enjoying the game and working to get better. So if you're not a fan, just calm down, support your community and cheer the people on who are still spending their money to go compete because they enjoy playing.
In the end, what we build as a community over time will outlast any one game. So people need to start thinking long-term and be willing to keep a positive outlook even if a title isn't their cup of tea. If we maintain the kind of atmosphere that encourages new people to join and be motivated to play, we'll reap the benefits and have something to pass on to those who come after us.
I disagree with the part where you equate the following, very different things:Very good example. Games that we've grown to love and sometimes still play till this day never had balance patches or fixes. We just enjoyed what was given. Thats something this new generation of gamers should learn. Appreciate what you have and if you don't like it, don't bitch about it. Just move on to something else and support that. Its that simple.
Very true, it is a shame that some players are mixing their own conditiing that they got just because how WB used to run things for NRS (at least until now, maybe now it will change) with the success of NRS games. People need to appriciate and respect both the effort that NRS have done, the games that are so amazing to play and the players who love to play them, and stop with the hyperbole bullshit, no matter how cool, easy or fun it is to do.Late to the party here but like I've said on our podcasts before I think both MKX and I2 are super solid games and it's a shame NRS/WB has conditioned people to de-invest with their games automatically after a year. Both games still had legs and unexplored tech. With tourneys like Texas Showdown and Viennality I2 is more fun to watch than ever, but for some reason people confuse their own conditioning and their ADD with the game's quality. "I'm not feeling it so the game must be bad" type shit. Hell yeah I2's got problems, but nothing any worse than other games like SFV.
I get that this is the internet and hyperbole is the coolest shit, but people need to chill out. I2 doesn't suck. MKX doesn't suck. If you don't feel like playing them anymore that's cool, but a lot of people do and those people should be your people. Be cool and hang tight.
