Kombat League swap characters unfair

[Ricecracker]

When i lost 1 Round and my enemy Then lost one round WHY Is he able to swap character and im NOT?

if we both obviously fighting with our NOT main chars and then at the end he swaps to his main and i cant

i think its FCKING unfair .

[HotBurritoInColdRoom]

Mb because it is kombat league and not casual? You have the same option, to chose new fighter after loss. If you didn'n use it, there is no player or game fault, it's on you only

@Купа Купыч
EXACTLY
i won 1 , he won 1 so we are even. its only fair to stick with the chars.
and even if it is possible to swap chars in a 1:1 match THEN at LEAST both should be able to switch.

[Pretzel von Schnitzel]

This is one of the things that i hate too, even thought i do switch between characters myself. It makes the gameplay even more worse than it is now. NRS should learn a lot about balance and how to make decent online from developers of SF games.
Had a match yesterday in KL. Tried JC for the first time online. Defeated opponent`s Sindel and that biotrash switched to Geras. I have almost no knowledge of Geras and when that guy won 2:1, he tbagged me =). It`s a deadly combo. ♥♥♥♥ balance + annoying character + too simple gameplay + possibility to change your character after 1 set if you lost. KL is counter-pick fest.

LOL...
That is a MK COMPETITIVE rule. Every official tournament works this way.

In Kasual matches you can keep your character also if you lose. It's not important. But in ranked, if you can avoid a second defeat, why not to swap the character? : ))

Why would I use it if I've learned opp's tricks and ready to outplay them in the 2nd match?
And once I ♥♥♥♥ them up - they, like, "surprise ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" -
repick some 2-button safe spam char for the 3rd round. Not fair at all.
N O T

Nothing wrong. Yeah, you learned it. Or you can take better fighter for current matchup and gamestyle. Game gives a chanse to recover to losing side. And this option avaliable for both players. If you feel that there is no need for swap, it's your right and decision. See no problem at all. It's like to blame game and enemy for using different gameplan. For example Jade. Which at first pressing you with her strings but you know how to punish it, so she decide to go zoning. And won you because of it. So you go to forum and start compllains about how game broken because Jade can either press you or zone.
I myself sometimes train new fighters in ranked, because there are more players at all and you can find game much faster and because there are a lot of good players. But it's still ranked. I can win 1st game, lose second and even if player stick with same fighter I will swap mine after lose and will take my main. Is it wrong? Absolutely not. You guys just create some fake noble rules. Let them go...

Y'see I, personally, didn't ever need to use it.
Those cowards who can't take a defeat or get better with a character
they picked first, however, just make me sick. Miserable pathetic cowards.
*spit*

Your scenario:
1 match: You lose and counterpick. enemy counterpicks your counterpick. Or you both plays with hidden cursor.
2 match you lose again. Because or enemy counterpicks you, or because you can't adapt to his new fighter. Game over.

See, you create some noble rules. That player can't repick fighter. That it's miserable and he is coward. Just because he plays how game lets him and not how YOU want. That's not right.

Yep, whole sense is that your complains are over dramatic.

Don't pick a character you don't wanna master or don't be afraid to lose, alright.

Don't play game mode if you can't accept it's rules. Or don't be affraid to face it or use it, alright

Oh, I'm surely not afraid to lose.
And I absolutely contemn and spit in the faces of repicking SUCKERRRRS.

If it was so, then I would never see you in this thread. Because the ones who are not affraid, don't give a sh*t about repicks.
And yeah... "spit in the faces" really, who cares? it's internet, mate.

I'm not the one who started it. I just responded that I feel the same way.
Also: being annoyed by such behaviour does not equal being afraid of defeat.

You personally answered to me. And stateed that I am wrong.
You annoyed because enemy has advantage when he repicks. You think this unfair. Because of that enemy wins. You hate to loose. Next time you see the exact same situation, you affrair you will lose again.

If you win first match you have an advantage

[Ricecracker]

@HotBurritolnColdRoom
i dont think that swaping characters is a bad thing IF !

if you lose a match and swap chars thats Okay.
BUT
if you WIN and then Lose only you can Swap chars and the enemy cant althoug its 1:1
so its 1:1 but the one who lost second match has a Big advantage now.
This means you are in advantage if you lose first Round becasue your enemy cant counterpick you...


Thats my main problem.
if i win first match i think its okay if he swaps chars but if we both won1 round i think no one should.

and the game is not unbalanced enough to justify that rule imo because you can win with every char especially at non sonic fox level.

about me: every Kombat League i choose a new character and then i play only that char in KLand i do not swap i rather take the Loss.
But there was this one game it was super close and i lost first match , then i won second match so it was 1:1 and we both obviously didnt play our Main Fighter , and so he swaped to his main. ( what a puss move ) that was the Only time i wanted to swap and i noticed how bad this rule is.

and we have seen this beheviour all the time especially at release of MK 11 when everyone picked Scorpion after losing 1 match

but whatever .... i guess you are just not supposed to play a character you are not good with in KL
learn the char first and then go KL or just dont give a fk but its a pitty that this cowards win a match that they should have lost and then waste your Time with a Fatality that they have seen 1 Million Times already... just to make you mad. ( btw i never fatality if my enemy doesnt )

That’s how it works. If you lose a match, you can swap chars.
What you said partially true, but. It’s only from perspective of player who lost 1st game. Look. You said it’s ok if you lost 1 match and swap fighter. This is advantage. Because you have ability to swap and your enemy doesn’t. But if in the very next match you win and now it’s 1:1, and enemy can’t swap his fighter, it’s disadvantage and this is not fair for your enemy. Mostly because he already played against you with his only fighter 2 times and now without ability to swap he would play 3rd match against you with same fighter while you will only play against him with repicked fighter only second match. Is it fair? Nope.
When you lost first match, game gives you option to swap. And because of that option, you can pick better matchap against enemy player. Without it, in some situations and games, you will loose 100%. So why to make this option unfair? You should agree, if you lost first game it’s on you. And you will get all consequences because of it.
And again. No one force you to stick with same fighter for 2 rounds. No one but yourself. You played ranked, not casual, people mostly play it to compete and achieve highest rank they can. You can’t blame him for swap, you can’t blame game that allowed him to do it. It’s on you.
BTW you still can learn characters in KL. But don’t be too fanatic about it. At the start of season it’s good to play with fighter you wanna play until GM. Then you can play 1 match with new fighter and if you lost, 1 match with main. Just be calm and never pay attention to ones who fatal you.

Duuuhh.. They MAY have this advantage, so they still MAY lose as well.
If they do good repick - then it'd get more challenging; if they suck even
harder with repicked character - pfff, whatever; and either way they are
cowards who can't stick to the fighter they pick first or can't pick from
the start a broken trash char they are good to play with. Gotta have
some spiiiiine, y'know.. *Oh, and it's a time-robbery as well.

They may for sure, that's the point.
But everything else is total b/s (exception is time robbery). It's like to call you coward because you swapped your main Kano and now Playing only Frost.

[Buhoy Alkash]

These rules are based upon those from tournaments. The person who lost the last match can pick another character, while the person who won that match is forced to play the same character and variation.

But I don't like this system. It really would be better if they use the ranked system from other games where you don't see your opponent's character before the match.

And what about to swap to FORTNITE? And stop playing fighting games?
