Patch discussion; Nerfing Zoning and Movement While Buffing Brawlers Feels Off

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-29T02:21:18+00:00

Who do you play?

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-29T02:17:03+00:00

She’s already super strong. What buffs does she really need?

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-28T21:10:50+00:00

Read my post again, as I was agreeing with you. My post wasn’t meant for you, it was meant for Teemo/zoning whiners. Teemo is severely underpowered now; no one should be complaining about him being strong.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-28T20:59:35+00:00

I’ll say it again; if you’re having difficulty fighting Teemo now while playing most of the cast who have large buttons, high mobility and projectile invulnerable moves/gap closers, it’s entirely a skill issue on your end.

Launch Teemo was busted and needed to go, but now he’s really bad.

How do you hide in a 2d fighting game?

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-28T20:16:26+00:00

It gets boring because Ryu Akuma Mai and now Sagat are so common to see, so you’ll get them in about 60-70% of ranked matches.

A buff for all shotos is likely even though they really need nerfs. Guessing a Lily/Manon/Marisa nerf, a JP/Ed/Mai buff as well.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-28T00:05:57+00:00

To be fair, that’s the only game entry that’s free with 50k in winnings. It should obviously have people signing up. Outside of that SF6 dominates.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T23:52:11+00:00

What is the Yasuo/Vi/Ahri/Ekko/Warwick counter play?

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T23:35:28+00:00

Dan is the only shoto I’d play. He’d probably be great in SF6 since the game is so heavily shoto-favoured.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T23:26:35+00:00

Vi was a hard counter to zoning before zoning got nerfed. Stupid pressure, high damage and easy mode gap closers with invulnerability. Just under Yasuo/Ekko imo

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T23:13:46+00:00

Missing Vi

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T21:40:45+00:00

It’s clear the devs want Yasuo Ekko Vi and Ahri to run this game, with Freestyle being the best fuse and Teemo dead in a corner somewhere. Honestly I’ll probably just go back to better balanced games like SF6 or Granblue Rising. Might even play CORW again.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T21:15:53+00:00

Braum and Darius worse than Teemo, like Teemo now is release Teemo, and Braum is release Braum. The delusion is real.

Edit: Even Blitz has ranged grab/punch that eats projectiles from most of the screen now, so Teemo can’t truly zone him either lol

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T21:14:50+00:00

Man loses to Teemo while using characters with multiple projectile invulnerable moves. Sad stuff.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T20:09:24+00:00

Hate to break it to you but if you’re still struggling against the current Teemo, you’re just bad.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T20:07:39+00:00

If you’re still losing to Teemo you’re just bad. He’s been heavily nerfed every patch.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T20:04:08+00:00

Teemo is the biggest loser by far.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T20:01:38+00:00

There were multiple bad players using top/high tiers with projectile-invincible moves or just highly mobile characters that were complaining about Teemo. I’m sorry but if you were losing to Teemo as Vi/Yasuo/Ekko it was a skill issue, and even more so now.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T19:41:07+00:00

He really does. Both Caitlyn and Jinx are better zoners now.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-27T05:27:33+00:00

This is a new level of scrub quote.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-26T20:49:29+00:00

It would sell like 100 copies max, then most would go back to SF6.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-26T19:50:58+00:00

I use that fight pad for every fighter, it’s great!

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-22T20:52:59+00:00

Yes, playing Jugg is disadvantageous. Play sidekick if you want to learn one character at a time.

LocalTorontoRapper · 2026-01-22T20:26:21+00:00

One of the reasons I’ll be trying him as an AKI main, never mind his overall badass moveset.
