Increasing the stamina loss based on output affects every new player in every game. A new player doesnt run into a skilled or even moderately skilled grappler everytime they play. The complex controls could be a concern but plenty of fights on a lower level can be won simply by using basic strikes and an occasional overhand or high kick. New fans arent all that interested in "learning the meta" and the ones are can find Youtube and forums like this to help with that. I know the game you want. I'm not that confident you are ever going to get it because EA isnt just concerned about players like you and I dont think they are convinced that all of your suggested changes will benefit the large number of players. I hope I'm wrong but I dont think I am.

When they do run into such players or when they lose because of a weaker grasp of complex controls they may be discouraged just as much if not more.

They definitely can be discouraged by the poor tutorials. They can be discouraged by new additions that are explained in blogs that may never be read by causals or new players.

I am not saying they are or not interested. I am merely stating the fact they are less likely to seek out advice than the comp or sim crowd. This puts them at a disadvantage in terms of learning the meta which may discourage them when they get beat for reasons they don't understand.

If they care enough come to forums like this for an explanation they are often met with git good which is discouraging.
