User blog:ROOSHEEYUH/Overused Characters

This is to talk about 4 characters that I think are over represented in the game.


 * Aquaman
 * Batman
 * Deathstroke
 * Scorpion

Aquaman:

Aquaman is one of the strangest characters in the game. I can't tell if he is supposed to be a major character like Superman and Batman or a minor character like Ares and Shazam. I think that adding Injustice 2 Aquaman was an interesting development because it pointed toward him being a popular character, but I honestly think that only one Aquaman would have been best.

Batman:

I love Batman, and he has a wide variety of powerful cards that are very useful, but I think that you need to draw the line when you start duplicating characters. Arkham Night Batman is literally just a newer and better version of Arkham Origins Batman, and making both Batman Beyond and Animated Batman Beyond was too much. The other versions of Batman are fine, and DOJ was one of my favorite new characters, but remaking old cards is dumb, either buff the original or don't add a new one.

Deathstroke:

My main complaint with Deathstroke is the existence of Red Son Deathstroke. The other versions are fine, the bronze one is extremely useful for beginners, and AO Deathstroke was one of the most powerful characters of its time. However, Red Son Deathstroke has a barely noticeable passive that is nowhere near as strong as the other Red Son characters and I don't think it should have been added.

Scorpion:

Scorpion is so obscure that they only needed one version. The two versions are extremely similar in name, and the game would have been better off just using one of them. Personally I think that Mortal Combat Scorpion was a better idea than Mortal Combat X, and that they should have just stuck with one.
