They fail to realize this game's metagame has been stagnant since I left in November 2009. Absolutely nothing has changed except the good got better, and the decent got good. As players. Metagame wise? No change, just players overall improved, nothing NEW - they just got better. (Trying to make a point here..)
Why did they just get better? Because the metagame hasn't changed, they've grown accustomed to it. Most everyone knows their options, it was just a matter of applying them. This is also why MK's are steadily growing harder and harder to beat, as more start to actually learn their already known options.
I wish people could see this... but it was a huge eye opener after quitting for a year, coming back, and nothing changed. I used to be anti-ban, now I'm pro-ban....
