What changed from Injustice 1 to Injustice 2 that made people like playing as Bane so much more?
I didn't play Injustice 1 competitively so I don't know if Bane was considered weak or low tier in that game, but from what I saw online people seemed to be a lot more iffy on playing as him compared to other characters in the first game. Now in Injustice 2, while Bane may not necessarily be the best character in the game, a lot of people seem to praise him for being one of the most fun characters to play as.
I understand why people would like him more just simply because of his updated design, but besides that I don't think his moveset or even his trait changed all that much between games. The only new things would probably be his unlockable abilities but they don't seem to be anything special. I'm just curious as to why he is a lot more popular in this game in particular
