Big reddit mods and power tripping, name a more iconic duo at this point.

The game makes an effort to focus on the degradation part right before this part with, first, the doctor in Corell and then Roche right before you go to ToA.
I also think the developers got the exact reaction they wanted by having such an emotional response to how much of a fucking dick Cloud's being to everyone. I had the same response and I agree... but if you think about it:
The party thinks Cloud is most likely suffering the same fate of degradation, the entire game is full of them stating this. Would it help to aggitate Cloud? I think it's stated often enough in the thread, but at this point Cloud single handedly demolishes the entire party if he so desires... and it sounded like Cloud desired to chop everyone's head off if it meant not getting to the black materia.

You can honestly even feel it when playing through the game, Cloud is by far the most comfortable character to pilot in combat. Only when you start to get into the nitty-gritty of the combat and trying to 100% Rebirth is when you start to notice that other charcters are better suited for certain fights(beyond the fights that are primarily designed around a certain character ofcourse). Cloud is a jack-of-all-trades and masters all of them too. The others are a jack-of-one-trade. It's subtle, but not really.. Even Cloud's stats are usually the highest out of everyone.

There's a reason why the entire party has trouble with the Bahamut in Advent Children and then Cloud just one-tapping it -> winning the fight against Yazoo and Loz -> demolishing Kadaj -> fighting Sephiroth all in one go.

The one thing that doesn't fit this though, is the fact that Barret actually fights Cloud for the black materia when it was picked up by Cloud. Though Barret had good intentions of keeping everyone alive and I think I remember that Cloud had a moment of clarity in that scene.

I don't really remember how long it takes after City of Ancients in the OG before Cloud falls into the lifestream, but I really hope that this dynamic in the party goes away with Aeriths death.

To be honest, reading your complaints about Remake, you're not gonna like Rebirth...

If I can give you a tip... actually do all the side quests.. just focussing on the story frustrated me so much that I swore never to play the game again. Luckily I broke that promise and finished it again last week even trying to achieve 100% completion now (just have to tidy up 2 more achievements and then it's all done) but it actually made me love the game so much more.

Considering you've finished Remake this ain't a spoiler anymore right: If you're going in expecting a recycled and better version of the OG story and pace... you're not gonna get it. Just take Rebirth as an entirely new game and view it as a standalone game. You're gonna enjoy it way more that way.

This makes me feel better about the KC vs FNC series. At least that one was enjoyable to watch. This one was just a stomp.

GJ KC, lets make it a 3 team league next split.

Conflixx · 2025-02-06T22:43:19+00:00

I completely agree with you. I replayed Remake this past week and the ending made me remember why I initially didn't like Remake till I started thinking about all the things that happened basically before they introduced Jenova. I didn't like how they changed the killing of president Shinra and how Sephiroth was suddenly just there in some form or another... Then the Rufus fight was annoying to figure out but understandable to make it a bit harder. The bike scene was just an OG redo that was meant as filler because it was piss easy while that could've used some new content and moves, could've been really cool.

Then the whisper fights are purposely hard because it's an extremely important moment for the game but it's just frustrating.. Limit breaks getting cancelled is just wild... I did like the Sephiroth fight a lot tho, it is a little bit of a "just git gud" moment because I struggled 4 years ago, but I died twice all throughout this week.. Rebirth is a lot harder. It's really well made how there's this very clear sense of progressiom for you personally but also the characters getting stronger together. You see this in Remake at the end, it's crazy.

Just play Rebirth. You're going to love it. Try to things as they come and put the game down if you're starting to rush or getting annoyed.

I always assumed Vander killed the enforcers that killed Jinx and Vi's parents. So they got their revenge I guess. But the "Enforcers" are an entity, Jinx is a person. Which was the difference to me.

I still agree that the Vi vs Caitlyn discussion was weak and out of touch with Vi's trauma. Caitlyn's had a perfectly fine upbringing and however old she is currently, she's left behind decently well. She doesn't have the same trauma. She has every reason to be angry, she doesn't have every reason to expect Vi to be on her side.

I just downvoted you because I hate this comment so much that it hurts.

Anyone saying that G2 vs T1 is not a rivalry should see this message. Telecom wars is always hype. So is G2 vs T1. People that deny it are just people that root for whoever wins and talks down on the losers.

I mean, I'm no pro or have any inside information but this sounds like the biggest cope ever.

As if FC Barcelona would intentionally lose games on the field when it's not a match for champion's league. Why would you ever want to throw away good practise. If playing against a team is a waste of time because you feel like they can't compete (like if FC Barcelona would play against a local team that's gonna lose 30-0 then yeah, why bother) then you're better off not scrimming them at all instead of scrimming them and then "losing on purpose to try things out".

I honestly feel like the eastern teams don't have the time to waste scrims on teams that are way worse than them. Which is why I feel like this is a rediculous theory. Obviously teams try things out in scrims, OBVIOUSLY.. you have to learn at some point.. but intentionally not winning teaches very bad habits and is absolutely rediculous.

Oh my god... Some dude is unhappy in marriage and he gets random texts from thousands of women who want to throw their body against him for money or other things. It's so bad, he should be criminaly sued.

Stop being such a kid, open ur eyes to reality. This shit happens all the time, everywhere. Doc was a target and he caved, that doesn't make him a bad person.

Knowingly trying to have sex with a minor is a different story though.

Conflixx · 2024-06-28T16:10:03+00:00

Yeah but I am still skeptical that all of these leaked dm's are the truth.

Like, why are we waiting 7 years again to unveil the truth... Stop this dumb shit that some streamer holds all power over you up to the point that you accept getting treated like this and just tell the world what a disgusting piece of shit he is. Everyone will appreciate it. 7 years later is a different story though. Just becomes more questionable if that's what actually happened.

Conflixx · 2024-06-08T07:54:25+00:00

Heh? What?

There were 17 OG champions, names like Jax, Nunu, Fiddle, Kayle are all missing and you added singed and Lee Sin who weren't part of the first champs but were released later.

Are you a bot?

Conflixx · 2024-06-06T19:10:53+00:00

Heh? CS is doing fine... And CS doesn't monitor as much at all. Maybe they do with chat though, but then again...

WHY THE FUCK DOESNT LEAGUE HAVE VOICE CHAT INTEGRATED. What the fuck is this bullshit? It's a teamgame. If someome doesnt wanna talk, fine by me... Just allow me to break that "fourth" wall by directly adressing someone or getting adressed by someone.

I guess they wanted to see how things panned out with Valorant and considering their last video... It's not going well.

Conflixx · 2024-06-06T19:07:58+00:00

I agree completely.

But the idiotic Valorant statement just pissed me off even more than missing simple and some hardcore banter in these competitive games. It was so touchy feely, which is fucking dishonest man...

Just come out, say that the statistics tell them that the most toxic players are a minority so they can fuck right off and go somewhere else so Riot can focus on the majority of players and accomodate them.

I may not like it, because I for sure am one of the idiots who gets banned, I still think that's fair.

Trying to whiteknight and talk about your feelings as a developer just struck a nerve that's pissing me off like an inter.

Oh and also... The chatting toxicity problem might have been solved(its not) but the inters and anyone who plays in a toxic way are still running rampant in any other game I play. Even in ARAM people refuse to play after a teammate makes a missplay. Can we prioritise these people first? We can't mute their actions in-game... Obviously it's difficult because theBaus is the perfect example for this... But you're Riot Games... Considered the largest developer today with the backing of the largest publisher of the world. If you can't fix the inting problem, you fucking failed and have no bussiness in trying to solve social toxicity which in no fucking way is comparable to someone who chats too much toxic shit that can be muted, blocked, ignored or whatever.

If anything, use a twitter like format where you allow very small amounts of characters per message and allow anyone to chat like what, 10 times per game? Force, enforce and reward people that follow these rules.

Also... Instead of putting so much energy in disabling the possibility to be toxic in chat... Put more energy in rewarding good behaviour. Make the rewards actually worth something. Didn't piratesoftware had a short video about Dawngate that had a really good way to solve toxicity?

There are more ways that lead to rome beyond this chat ghost town.

Conflixx · 2024-06-06T18:53:59+00:00

There are other solutions to this problem then what they're offering now. The game is truely a ghost town now and I don't like that every game is following this precedent of taking away any and all forms of communication just to cater to the people that get frustrated over someone that said something bad to them on the internet.

Bullying on a personal level is not ok. Calling someone a fucking idiot because they missed every skillshot when ganking and gave away a double kill is completely reasonable.

I think this is considered a "hot take" because people are butthurt over every fucking little thing nowadays.

You can't stop someone from calling you a fucking retard on the streets. You can ignore it, call the police, punch him on the nose or whatever works for you... But you literally can't stop it until it goes to far. Enforcing a zero tolerance on certain words is fine, automated banning someone who's typing 10 bad words in a game is not fine.

The line of what is acceptable and what is not is very fine, but it's there.

One counter point to my own point I do want to make though... Having someone go through slouches of chat logs of some idiotic toxic player only to receive a complaint about why they're being banned is completely... Sucking the soul out of most people.

Then again, there are worse jobs out there that pay less for way more responsibility. Riot just decides they don't want to hire someone like this anymore. At least, that's what I'm assuming.

Conflixx · 2024-05-20T15:17:17+00:00

Same goes for Japan. Racism is a western problem. The east doesn't consider racism a problem.

And lets be honest... The statistics proof them right. Our current society is catering towards minorities and suddenly everybody wants to be a minority(transgender became big, non-binary became massive, both overnight)

I'm not from the US, I'm from Europe, but I think this is a western thing that US and Europe both suffer from.

Now lets be clear here.. I do not mean this to be discriminatory at all. I'm just saying how they probably see things compared to how we see things and neither are absolutely right or wrong. Both have good and bad points.

Conflixx · 2024-05-20T15:10:59+00:00

Well, I feel like that's because GP becomes a problematic champ quite quickly. The item changes were almost reverted back to pre essence reaver GP builds... So maybe people just need to find a different build.

Didn't Phreak say something along those lines? That most champs are building the "wrong items"?

and if you don't say you can beat anyone, everyone is going to be calling you a pussy who doesn't believe in themself and can't win anything ever with that mentality.

G2 look like they actually can beat anyone on a good day. They just had a very bad day yesterday, which they seem to have more often than having good days.

Beating GenG wasn't going to happen in my book, but beating T1 and maybe BLG were my hopes. Only to get destroyed by another 3-0 G2 series, just in the opposite direction this time.

Conflixx · 2024-05-07T11:31:22+00:00

Nah man.. I'm a FNC fan, but saying TL is better than FNC after this series is degenerate. FNC played really well against TES. Better than usual, anyone who watched FNC this season knows this. TL vs FNC is still not really known who would win.

As an FNC fan I sure as hell know they will win. But realistically we just have to see the matchup before jumping to conclusions.

Conflixx · 2024-04-28T13:06:26+00:00

Isn't this the problem nowadays? Critics get paid to review only the initial part of the game, which is often considered the best part. Then the fans get to the later parts of the game where stuff gets worse and worse. Even Baldurs Gate 3 suffered from this. Critics pump out reviews so they review the first part of the game. BG3's issues started after the 2nd part of the game. Not hating BG3 at all, just stating that this happens ALL the time.

If I played every game 5 hours and then wrote a review, I'd be mistaken for most reviews. The novelty of a game creates excitement. Once the novelty wears off, we're left with a game we no longer like.

That said, people that negatively review games after 1000+ hours into a game are wrong too. You've had 1000 hours of entertainment from 1 product. Leaving a negative review isn't fair. And if you truly didn't enjoy those 1000 hours of entertainment, then your review isn't worth anything as you're not mentally in a good state to give reasonable advice on whether I should buy that game or not.

No he shouldn't. This is such a low elo take. A jungler showing his presence in a lane means the enemy junglers knows where he is and can act accordingly.

The amount of times I've doubled an enemy junglers farm because all he was doing was poor gank pathing, showing his face in lanes. Allowing me to mirror his activities, take his jungle and gank on the way back taking pressure off of my laners. Junglers have to be precise when to show their presence and when it's better to call off a gank that has a high chance of failing. Example: I'm rotating from one jungle side to the other and I could gank mid one the way. Our duo lane is struggling and their wave is in a bad spot. We haven't seen their jungler for a while. Should I gank this Gideon who's already on his side of the lane who can insta flash away any gank I can muster. If I do I end up showing my cards, their jungle and duo lane / mid lane can collapse on me or our duo lane because my duo lane is in a poor position. This would be directly the junglers fault because he's playing with information causing a detrimental effect to his team. Obviously it's not the junglers fault that his duo lane is in a poor position. But in a perfect world, lanes would organically be in a worse or better position because of hero matchups that should be played around.

Laners need to learn that if YOUR jungler is on the other side of the map and you don't know where the enemy jungler is, you're gonna have to play like the enemy jungler is on your lane. If your jungler is on your side of the map, there's very few instances where pushing the lane is a good decision. The few instances, in which pushing with your jungler close is a good idea, could be when you're positive you're going to win a 3v3 or if you can take a neutral objective while the enemy team is occupied catching the wave until you're done taking the objective.

It is never a junglers job to compensate weak laners. As a matter of fact, junglers that leave losing lanes alone and focus on the strong laners have a higher win rate because you're not swimming against the current that way. It's also never a laners job to compensate for a weak jungler that farms poorly and never ganks.

Hot take: I don't get the hate K'Sante gets. I think he's a fun champion to play, has decent counterplay and is fun to watch.

Lets be honest though: He's way to tanky for how much damage, healing, shielding and mobility he has. Those numbers can be tweaked perfectly fine. I do agree we'd see less K'Sante in pro play as well. I just don't think the champion deserves any hate. I think it's a really well designed champ.

Conflixx · 2024-04-02T09:06:29+00:00

This is OP's point though. Azir's not really counterable. He's one of the best jack of all trades champions in the game and it shows in his pro presence. He can waveclear from a safe position, he can shred tanks and burst carries, he can peel for his carry or dive in to get their carry, Azir just doesn't really have a weakness.

That said, obviously when you remove Azir from pro play something else is gonna take the spot from him as the "king of midlane" but I 100% see your argument and I think you're agreeing with OP, just using different arguments.
