Will the wuLin get nerf with the new characters? | Forums

[TicioQ]

Currently now, I really think that all the wu lin is ridiculous overpowered (special mention to the monk, that I still unable to beat).

I understand that they are this way so people would expend money purchasing them. Ok, but now that new characters are coming, should we expect the wu lin to be finally nerfed?

Just the right amount to be able to compete to them...

PD: we must assume that the new roster will star super overpowered, no?

They already said all the wulins are being monitored and they gonna make some changes (probably with s9 coming soon) considering the data they have.

But tbh :
-Shaolin has been nerf already
-I dont see why Nuxia should be nerf, she is fine
-Tiandi is horrible but design wise. He is not too strong his kit is just a cancer spam as hell but i don't see how devs could nerf him without making him too weak
-JJ kit is ok bit his dmg and feats should be nerf looking at his insane 4v4 performances

Guys i think that we need to say if we talk about pc or console version to be understood.

No, WuLin don't deserve a nerf, it's the rest of the cast that need a huge buff

Shaolin is fine, he's strong but fine, every characters should be like him
JJ is kinda fine, maybe a little bit too much damages
Nuxia is meh actually, she deserves more than just "light spam"
Tiandi is fine

That sound fair enough to me, I really think that the original roster need an overhaul to compete with the new one (better idea that to drag the others to a mediocre ground).

I agree with everyone that not all the characters of tiandi are OP (Nuxia and tiandi) but I cannot understand how people don’t think shaolin is.

As I posted in other threads, shaolin is my cryptonite so maybe I’m biased but I see him as a character that can respond to all the movements of others and can spam too.

For JJ, I think is op but just in games with 4 players. So is not so problematic.

Shaolin has unfavorable MU against conq, warlord and zerker.
Zerker is a special case since he's stronger than almost every char

So to counter Shaolin you have to prevent him to go to Qui stance, and solid guard heroes can do that pretty well.

lastly, according to the Setmyx tiers list Shaolin is A tiers in 1vs1 and 4vs4, so not OP, he's just strong

Warden and Conqueror are still the most OP characters. Warden is free for everyone and Conqueror is free for the players who choose knights.

Wu Lin are only noob stompers. At high level, Warden and Conqueror are ridiculously OP, but Wu Lin are useless.

Against 17 out of 22 heroes, Warden can continuously spam his safe and unreactable shoulderbash to force his oppenent to play an unfair luck game.

Ranked and duel modes are destroyed by Warden's SB and Conqueror's SB. If you don't play with one of Warden's and Conqueror's counters (or Warden and Conqueror), forget about playing duel and ranked, because you can't win 90% of the matches.

Complaining about Wu Lin instead of Warden and Conqueror is ridiculous.

I have more issues with Shaolin than any other character. I can fight the level 3 bot fine but when I fight players they just abuse the hell out of his kit. Kickbash light spam kick bash lightspam. You cannt gb him worth a damn even if you block his attacks.

Yeah, Shaolin is definitely the one I take the most issue with from the WuLin. He has an answer to anything and basically no way to punish him, especially if he goes into Qi stance you can't predict squat he is free to do anything from that even feint an undodgeable attack which is unheard off in any other kit EVER. To me if Shaolin goes into Qi stance from a light attack then he should only have his light attacks from Qi stance and kick, and only the heavy attacks from a heavy into Qi stance that way there is some actual reading you can do instead of guessing (wrongly).

P.S. I also hate what they did with Conqueror and Warden I don't even understand their reasoning for any of the reworks in the way that they did it, except Kensei I think he is the most balanced rework/character of them all.

Your post is pretty reflective of the competitive community's opinion at the moment: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gaY/edit#gid=0 . Changes are always possible, but it's difficult to speak about the Wu Lin as a unit. They're 4 heroes that all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
