And there's a REASON they tweak the characters and game system; to make it more balanced. It may not be what you're used to in SWR, get over it. They don't just do it for shits and giggles. The 1.10 patch helped a LOT with the balance, as well.
Hehe..You know what... I do believe they do it just for shits and giggles. I believe they just boost whatever character they feel like and nerf the ones they don't like.
My favourite character was aya and youmu. When 12.3 came out, the nerf on aya kicked the shit out of me. It was like..using suika(I never used her before) was much easier than using aya. You could say my aya sucked. But I know what I'm talking about and I know how that how it felt back then.
In fact, aya got nerfed even more in 1.10. I don't know wtf were they thinking and I don't care anymore. To those who say 12.3 is balanced,
why don't you go try aya.
Then I was thinking: Ok fine. I still got youmu.
Now what. A f***ing one second freeze after spamming b?
I have play youmu for more than a year. Now my way of using youmu doesn't work anymore. It sure took them a looong time to "balance" youmu.
They also make tweaks in cycles. When swr was first released one of youmu's skill was very powerful.(sorry i don't know the English name of it) Then it got nerfed later. Then it went ridiculously powerful when 12.3 is released. And now in 1.10 it was nerfed again.
I would call that --- STUPID
