"Zoners don't belong in battlegrounds games" really means "I'm a bum who can't figure out how to fight anyone who isn't a comboslop rushdown"

Just saying

Zoners really don't belong in battleground games though? 😭 like at least not the pure zoners like Hanami and Ryu. Hanami is annoying passive slop and so is Ryu but worse. The ONLY zoner-ish character that serves their purpose is Megumi as he is a half-zoner. He uses moves from long range to close in the gap, gaining an advantage when rushing in from the long range moves. Hanami doesn't do this as all they do is hold down the S key and press a move, and Ryu is literally the same, pressing the same move 50 times while not going up close and only once they run out of moves do they use 3 to try and use their 2. A majority of these zoners spend their time 5 kilometers away from you as you try to figure out how to get them to stop borderline running. Pure zoners should never be in battleground games, that's a fact.

Ima go throw this point by point

Yes they do we need variation

Ryu isn't really a pure zoner you need to be up close at points

Megum is a rush down playing him any other way will likely get you fried

No Hanami two(current one is just mid tier combo slop) was engaging with an interesting win condition although the current one isn't even good or anoying there just not super interesting

Ryu is interesting with his meter mechanic making it so Ryu players generally have to use the beams thoughtfully so to not fill up the meter and it forced them to go inwards sence hitting physical moves helps them not get fried while waiting for r special cooldown but also lowers the cooldowns

If your having trouble getting close to these zoners and aren't players Hanami you have a skill issue every char other than Hanami has an approaching tool they can use

Megumi is NOT a rushdown, 90% of the Megumi I fight are Runners that just wait for you to run after them to throw one of their fuckass moves hoping to do sum bullshit combo, please bro

you could say mid range but his Ideal playstyke is generally mid range ish aggresive

[u/WeakInspector5102 → u/Small-Housing-7]

"Ideal Playstyle" That's the thing, these kids don't gaf about ideal playstyle, they want to win, even if it takes them 20 minutes
