So... I feel like NRS took the worst nerf suggestion and applied it to Scorpion. It's not bad that they made it a high, I agree the character was too reliant on it, but he needed buffs if they were gonna do this. So here's the perspective I look at it from now.
1: If they see teleport movement they just d4 on reaction every time
2: Because of this, they can just get the first hit and play super passive
3: Your footsie ranges are inferior to the other footsie characters
4: You're now perpetually chasing people down with a character with bad movement and good, but not great footsie buttons
So my question is, what actually prevents people from just running away from you all game now?
Let's keep in mind that, with this nerf, Scorpion still has/doesn't have
1: No fast mids
2: Damage on the lower end
3: Can't secure damage on breakaways (D2 or Fatal Blow)
4: D1 hit advantage got nerfed so we can't jail 21 anymore
I'm dropping this character. I think once people catch on to the fact that the answer against him now is to do absolutely nothing but react to him, Scorpion players are going to find it just brutal to even exist in this game.
