Today’s patch comes with some major changes. Personally, I think if this had been the patch released at the start of Season 3, a lot of people would have accepted it as a genuine back to basics. Some are saying Bryan made it through today’s patch untouched, but I don’t see it that way. Bryan was already nerfed the moment Season 3 began, in advance, in the same way we’re now seeing changes like a 600 reduction to the Heat meter. That’s why this patch doesn’t really have much substance for him. There will probably be pro players claiming Bryan is the strongest after this patch, but they usually just say it without proving it themselves. The reason is probably simple: if they actually picked him up, they wouldn’t be able to get that kind of performance out of him. Most of them likely won’t even try. It’s already been over two years since T8 release. At this point, I think pro players would be better off studying matchups more seriously. This patch will make some people happy and others unhappy. In the end, I just hope everyone enjoys the game 🙏

Hwoarang is dead. There is no longer any reason to play Hwoarang. Even when he was nerfed in Season 2, I did research and hard training to try and salvage the character, but I no longer see a future. I was very stressed out by this character's inefficient skill structure and unreasonable system elements, but looking at today's patch, there is no longer any need to play this character. It is time to look for another character.
