I still expect it to be the go to gem for teams lacking in good support/neutral but those teams got hurt really bad due to it (ie. Reality stone went from the "every man" stone to a stone that you need to actually take team considerations/synergies into the equation to use it. With the nerf Reality stone is going to drop down to Power/Time tier. Reality Stone was in this weird tier where it was clearly better than stuff like Power and Time but worse than Space and Soul. Between the increasing competition and (as much as it hurts to say it) the obvious drop in quality I'm skeptical that this game could ever achieve that same level of passion and excitement. Gonna be keeping a close eye on future developments but I suspect before too long it's going to be up to the players to keep the game afloat, same as UMvC3. I don't have that kind of expectation anymore. Seeing Tekken and Injustice firing on all cylinders over the weekend, more and more people interested in returning to Street Fighter with AE, when I heard there was a new MvC game coming I thought for sure it would reach that same level of excitement. Even the matchmaking is suffering for it, with absurdly long stretches of finding no opponents or forcing me into rematching the same player back-to-back six or seven times until one of us hops off. I've been bumping for this game super hard since last year but the community's general lack of enthusiasm compared to literally every other fighting game out there has finally gotten to me, I think. I like the game and all but the more I see of it the less I feel like it's worth investing much time into. My other option would be to learn a new team entirely, but, eh. That's not a struggle I'm willing to plow through. It remains to be seen what kind of impact the hitbox/damage nerfs will have but I can't really imagine adapting to the conservative playstyle Dante's health and startup nerfs are going to demand, especially with the stone I wanted to play from its announcement being completely gutted. Like, their points of strength literally being flipped into shortcomings entirely. I don't think they're being nerfed beyond use but it sounds like Dante/Reality's gameplans are fundamentally being torn apart. Dante/Jedah/Reality Stone main here, dropping the game for the time being lmao.
