Aww man why'd they ruin it?!

The ink grenade in Gears of War 3.

As a grenade it was fairly useless. The ink did pitiful damage and it was easy to avoid. The sole redeeming feature of the weapon was that it stunned you if you were in close proximity when it exploded. You could set up a nice shotgun or chainsaw kill by using it. At some point they nerfed it, removing the stun which made it effectively useless.

Forgive me if I got this wrong, but didn't the stun mean a quick kill given that it did enough damage to down them?

And hey, speaking of Gears of War. Why the f*ck did they nerf the Hammerburst Mark 2 in Judgment? The iron sights defeat the purpose of third person shooting, yes, but it was the sole feature making the Hammerburst unique now that the Retro Lancer has become the new semi-auto (which it may as well be).

the Locust assault rifle has always been hit or miss throughout the series. I haven't played Judgement yet, but I routinely remember needing to pick one up just to see "if this is the game that it's poison in". Because throughout one of the games (I don't even remember which off the top of my head), picking up that Locust Assault Rifle was tantamount to picking up a popgun.

But in other games, it was a godsend, and in constant supply. But sometimes, it's just poison. and still in constant supply.

Appears that Judgment might follow in the footsteps of making the locust AR poisonous. good to know.

In Soul Calibur for the DC siegfried had a running Cannonball move where he would charge at the opponent do a somersault kick the opponent in the face and then slam the sword down on top of their head and it looked awesome.

In SC2 it was only possible from a crouching position and has switched to a Nightmare only move from then on in the series I believe plus its no where near as cool or fun to do since the change.

Oh also Ayanes drill kick in DOA5 was nerfed to near uselessness they could counter it, block it (no guard break) and have a massive window to counter attack, throw you during its start up if you tried to do it up close for lols (not a good move to do up close usually though tbf if your playing serious) or just mash jab and jab you out of it oh and they could side step it. Basically it was almost useless but its such a fun move I love doing it luckily its not as bad now I believe (actually beats some moves now) although I havent played since the last patch.
