I like the fact that the blue shell hysteria was reduced from MK Wii and the fact that there is now an item to stop it, even if rare.  The fact that you can't stockpile items is also more fair, because it was almost impossible to hit the first without a blue shell. You also don't lose items when taking a regular hit. I also like the new plant item. For me everything feels fine, except the fact that you can get a coin while being 10th and that the lightning almost does not benefit its user while being super annoying potentially.

But while you don't lose your items from taking a hit, the lack of a back-up and the coin item existing means you'll get combo'd regularly. This isn't a problem for you? Also the Shock is less powerful, mainly because the follow item you get wont always be good, but still very potent and even 3rd can get it now.

Getting combo'ed is always a thing, you can take 3 hits and then falls out of the circuits.... Bad luck is part of what make Mario Kart so irritating while so fun at the same time. You can keep all your item well, defend the best you can, there is still a chance you will get it. But someone playing smartly will be hit much less often than the guy throwing his banana in the air.

 

Niot losing your item give you a chance to strikeback immediately. I love that.
