This is my little rant, you can read it if you want, or just don't. It's fine either way.

  Before the stat buff, as a Donkey Kong player, I never understood why so many people picked Waluigi. Donkey Kong, Waluigi, and Roy all have the same stats. Okay, Waluigi is skinnier and that lets you see what's in front a tiny bit better, but why would people pick Roy, then? Roy is the fattest out of Waluigi Donkey Kong and himself. For time trial records, Waluigi was picked most, Roy second, and Donkey Kong last. Plus, Waluigi barely even changes how much you can see in front of you.

After the stat buff, I felt discouraged to continue playing. My favorite character had been declared unviable, no good, and unusable against better characters. Although eventually I decided to continue playing the game and play as Donkey Kong, I was still deeply saddened. He wouldn't be viable in time trials anymore. He wouldn't appear online anymore.

Speaking as a player of each Mario Kart game, the stat buff is the worst thing to happen in Mario Kart. It was really hard for me to adapt to the new meta, in fact, I still am adapting to the new meta. It's all so different now, so hard to grasp, it just makes me so upset.
