Not trying to sound big headed but I saw this nerf coming a mile off, and I'm sure a lot of other logical thinkers did too. My reasoning is quite simple really:
Nintendo did this all on purpose.
I don't see how people don't see it? People can't actually think she was made that OP by accident? That she was added to the game only for Nintendo to suddenly realise "oh man, we f'd up hard, guize".
No. She was made broken on purpose. Nintendo ensured she would cause as much hype, controversy and attention as possible. Why? Because max hype = max sales. It's as simple as that. They've now made their money so no need to leave her broken.
Now, one could argue that they went too far with the nerfs. I'm seeing a lot of Bayonetta players complaining that their character is ruined. What I want to ask them is this: why are you reacting as if there is some kind of inherent obligation for Bayonetta to be good? Because she's DLC? Because you paid money? Because she was fan voted in? No. Nintendo allowed fans to vote for a character. They added said character. Good or bad she's in the game. End of story!
There's nothing left to complain about? Wanna talk about balance? She wasn't balanced to begin with. Wanna talk about fair? Talk to Meta Knight mains. Talk to players who main characters that were never good to begin with. If they can crack on then so can you. When she was OP your defence was that "people should just learn the match up". Well allow me to return the same logic to you. Learn the new match ups
