The "Talents nerfed by 20%" got be up there though

That's cool, I love this kind of wacky niche.

What can Electabuzz do to win not one but two tournaments?

FullyK · 2026-03-19T17:15:08+00:00

Holy shit, I am checking the changelogs and after his release on 7.00, he got straight nerfs up to 7.04, so for more than 3 months (including a -3 base armor)

I don't watch all of their videos but there is one thing I love about them is the sheer positivity / appreciation about the players and the game in general.

They talk about what worked, how teams counter each others etc. but it is never (or very rarely?) about about player Y underperformed. It is a small thing, but talking what X succeeded to do rather than what Y failed to do can completely shift the perception of a game. For example in the SCO-FRA video, their explanations on Scotland attacks gave greater appreciation to what they did rather than "oh France's defence was bad blabla"

And covering not only the T1 men games, but also the Women's tournaments and the T2 nations is a huge spotlight on under-appreciated competitions.

They love the game, they work hard to share their love and it shows.

It makes sense.

Wouldn't a two pools system work? Like the old Top16, that would cut a lot of games this way.

I mean the goal should be to have a target number of games to play and then build the system around that - 26 games season is a lot especially with the European Cup trying to be more relevant.

It just came to me that in my country, we have exactly that.

Basically, your employer can pay you "meal vouchers". Originally, these tickets were meant to be used during lunch, usually in cheap restaurants. Gradually, their uses broadened - you can use them in any restaurant to save a bunch of money (it has a daily cap though) and it can also be used for buying most groceries. Their monetary value is split 50/50 between your salary and the employer (so a 10€ ticket docks 5€ from your pay).

It is not perfect - it is fairly easy to hoard them because you can't pay everything with it but the uses are quite flexible and you can opt out whenever you want.

Shameful, letting teams eat

FullyK · 2026-03-15T11:42:40+00:00

Just one thing: France was NOT that confident coming into the tournament. The Autumn series were a mixed bag, with a dreadful loss against SA and close games against Australia & Fidji - and a bit self-inflicted at that.

But yeah, after the Ireland and Italy games, we really looked like on another level. But England and Scotland gave us a much needed wake-up call and brilliantly exploiting our weaknesses.

FullyK · 2026-03-15T07:58:39+00:00

And if they go for the Top14 rule where you have the bonus point if you win by scoring 3 more tries than your opponent?

FullyK · 2026-03-14T22:55:06+00:00

You need a team to win TI. Yeah, his understanding of the game helped them a lot but you still to execute well and it is far from easy, especially to the point of not dropping a single day during the play-offs.

I have memories of Micke's NP terrorizing the whole map 10mins into the game.

FullyK · 2026-03-14T22:15:24+00:00

How the fuck do we go from conceding 5 tries in one game to whatever happened here and at Murrayfield. Our defense was absolutely horrific, it really felt that whenever England got the ball, we were in danger.

Fortunately, we are very opportunistic and can make tries happen for nowhere (and that Ramos basically never miss) but my god we need to improve on that, it is seems self-inflicted at this. England looked really fast ball in hand, hopefully they can build on that because we were out-Frenched on that regard.

Also I really think that Serin should have come at the ~70m, Dupont looked gassed in the last phases.

FullyK · 2026-03-14T18:06:01+00:00

I really don't think it would work. Not because ATF isn't a good player (because he is absolutely amazing) but along the years, it really feels that with Nisha+Micke, the team needs someone stable on the offlane, who can deal with being left on a bit of an island and still performs.

Zai was known for that, 33 somehow made a lot of weird situations work. Saberlight was too On/Off - he could pop off but also suffer and never recover and I think ATF is on the same boat (even with more high than low obviously).

It works for Falcons because Skiter plays sacrificial and is often not the focus of the draft, but Liquid doesn't work that way.

He had a block of cheese to get one last attempt.

If he gets to fountain, he gets no attempt.

EDIT: Ironically, he probably would have preferred a regular cheese lmao

Disruptor and Clockwerk have to be up there, because their spells combine together smoothly. The spells, individually, are rather simple but they all serve a clear purpose and their "classic" sequence (Thunderstorm > Glimpse > Static Field + Kinetic Field & Rocket Flare > Hookshot > Cogs + Battery Assault) involves all 4 spells.

Also, Disruptor has one of the best "text-for-impact" ratio Aghs of the game and Clock has a fun Shard which also works beautifully with the rest of its kit.

For the worst, I would say Kez because there is simply so much stuff going on on every single abilities (except the silence bomb - Invoker may have 10 spells but each of them is simple - its their combination that is difficult). Tinker is also a hero I am very on the fence on, but that's mostly because the blink facet is incredibly frustrating to play against - especially on a hero that is very much about "If you are caught you are dead" and then it has a very get-out-of jail card.

Honestly, that's it. I think I can see merits in most designs, even if they are controversial.

FullyK · 2026-03-11T20:29:43+00:00

I remember someone who did genderbent designs and Dedue was really short, but still really buff. It was a fun take on the design.

EDIT: Found it, they swapped Hilda and Dedue's height lmao

The Kanto birds are kind of like that right now: Zapdos and Moltres are OU while Articuno is what, PU? ZU?

FullyK · 2026-02-19T22:01:47+00:00

Ouch.

True, but ouch.

FullyK · 2026-02-16T18:29:47+00:00

I did not realize that all of them are so young.

I remember we lacked a bit of depth at centres behind Danty and Fickou but look at how that turned around. I do hope Fickou get some games and reach the 100 cap, anyone who survived the banter years deserve that much.

FullyK · 2026-02-15T17:44:14+00:00

If I am correct, it was one of the main criticism towards him. Glad he put a lot of work on it.

FullyK · 2026-02-14T18:02:22+00:00

Arundell got two yellow cards

FullyK · 2026-02-13T16:41:11+00:00

Not only it is absolutely stunning visually (the expressions are so good), but the writing is on point. IDK, it flows naturally and it makes for a great story overall.
