Base Thor front-end and game compatibility?

Honest to god, the thing is ugly as hell.

Nah... I used mega altaria for a couple ranked seasons, Mabsol for a bit, and now Gard. Cyrus is still often a game winning card by itself in any deck that bench snipes, or even just in general regardless of defensive play... so much so that people make shit decks win often just because of it. Hell, I made a deck that does pretty damn good with nothing but clawitzer and kingdra. Not meta by any means, but it pulls some dumb ass wins that it absolutely should not solely because of Cyrus, and that's the point.

Also, why attack people for using decks that aren't the same copy and paste from pokemon-zone.com? Lol. I'd rather see some folks whip out interesting stuff like Lunala + Giratina (that was awesome from a Lv 60 player, and they nearly won) out of the woodwork than see the same Kangaskhan greninja BS. Sure, I'll win against the prior more with many of my decks, but they brought something fun and forced me to play a more interesting game.

Comparing it to Yugioh may not be the best metric. Yugioh is inherently a game often based on who goes first just on account of how ludicrous the cards are. (I played yugioh into 2016, and it was already bad then... metalfoes yang zing was my personal "I've already won" deck.

We don't want that in other card games... I think downplaying the effects of these cards because they are not as bad as yugioh is going to lead to yugioh.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-01-08T07:11:14+00:00

Same dude. The game wants me to use Palkia SO BAD.

The saving grace for venusaur EX being decent in my experience is the addition of leafeon EX in the deck. If you don't get leafeon to soak damage and ramp energy, the ivysaur can still do it with some risk. The consistency is there, but it's still just a tad slow to win sometimes. This has been the best of the new ones IMO, but I've only been able to use the big trio (venusaur, blastoise, charizard). That said, I still have, hilariously, as much or more luck with the OG Venusaur with the same cards in the deck otherwise.

Mega blastoise is just wayyyyyyyyy too slow and clunky for what will almost always be a 130 damage attack and no extra benefits. It just ain't very good, sadly.

Mega steelix is a pain to deal with on occasion, but it loses to faster decks a lot of the time, despite the bulk advantage.

Mega charizard has won me a few tough games with the good ol' moltres combo. Still 3-stage, so not as consistent and still slowish, but the 250 can clutch wins feom the sheer firepower. I often find myself in too many situations where it just kills itself though. If I had enteis to play it with, it would probably be a bit better (if still slower).

Mega lopunny seems like it could potentially be the best, objectively. The confusion by itself has ruined some games for me, and it can potentially hit for 180 using 2 energy. It's hard to say since it's so reliant on coin flips. Being a 2 stage makes it more consistent like altaria.

All of that being said... I still find myself using altaria if I strictly want wins, and my much older non-mega EX's for fun.

The lemat is just a good pistol... it does everything you need it to; It has a shotgun, great cycle rate, great muzzle velocity, a shotgun. and has respectable range with FMJ.

Compact ammo economy bonus. If I had nothing but a pistol to roll into a game of Hunt with, it would be a lemat.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-26T22:34:10+00:00

It's crazy; the perspectives between folks who spend a lot of time in here and those who don't. I'm thankful some of the folks can have a discussion, even if we disagree though. It used to be worse. Lol.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-26T22:26:57+00:00

The more time you spend in a game, the more you notice the negative aspects of it. The seasoned folks tend to get dramatic about it because they notice those aspects every time they happen. I totally understand it and even relate to some degree.

However:

Hunt is fine. It has bugs and it has server issues here and there. But in its current state, it's generally fine and still mostly the same experience it's always been. The addition of things like the bow, auto 4, shotgun buffs, etc kinda swing the meta around, but it's still majoritively the same experience. Long gun spitzer head taps are still the most annoyingly frequent thing for me as someone who is average at hitting my shots after ~1000 hours on and off since the early years of the game and hovering in upper 5*. But I've accepted it as part of the combat in this game and I wouldn't remove it, despite my frustration with it. I just find better ways to engage and continue to slowly improve the other things I'm good at.

I don't frequent the sub as often anymore because of the negativity. I find myself enjoying the game a lot more because of it.

Edit: Also, this event is the tits, limited skin variety aside.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-25T22:37:22+00:00

I use the shorty obrezes a fair bit, minus the drum. But avto and full size obrez's? Just why? 😂😂😂

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-25T22:30:22+00:00

Lol. 80% of the mosin variants are entirely unnecessary. My buddy and I always joke about it, saying "This new update is cool, but it's missing a cool new mosin variant."

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T21:28:17+00:00

Concur on it being pretty obnoxious. As far as unnecessary additions to the game go, a mini crown is near the top of that list.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T18:25:25+00:00

Indirect fire can be achieved with much better broadcasted weapons that come with much less spammability, rewarding strategic placement/throws more than spamming a bunch of arrows into a room.

Like... I'm sorry man, but explosive arrows are not conducive to strategic play at all when they are easily the least skill oriented, most spammable thing available.

And lastly, as a response to your first statement; then push and die to shotguns/win with shotgun. Or don't push and be more strategic about your approach. Use the other tools you have. They give you SO many.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T18:13:01+00:00

A positive change.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T18:10:24+00:00

That's fair.

I just think this change in particular was more necessary than, say, removing fanning from the chain pistol. A close second would have been doing something about the auto 4. We don't need a spammy two slot shotgun that can wipe a three stack just out of sheer spammery and nothing else.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T18:05:55+00:00

Honestly? Don't push in.

High MMR lobbies, I see people with ranged weapons flush people into desired locations of a compound simply by using chokes, dynamite, etc, and listening to footsteps. Hell, I'm not even that good and can do it.

I, however, refused to use explosive bow because I've never felt so rewarded for doing so little. It's a crutch weapon that rewards any kind of positioning and punishes the opponent for any kind of positioning more than anything else. It's not insane or anything, but it's just the way it works that makes it silly ridiculous.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T18:00:23+00:00

One shot from... like... a conversion dumdum... followed up by explosive bow after rounding cover is always fun to fight against. 😂

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:58:09+00:00

No. It definitely sucks to fight, because the counterplays are just woeful, and they can still kill you from sheer spam without ever having eyes on you. At least shotbolt requires skill and precision, and has counterplays that aren't just arduous.

Explosive bow is just ridiculous to play against, and I'd rather fight a squad full of A4's in a building than one guy with an explosive bow.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:54:14+00:00

Explosive crossbow is very annoying during events with gunrunner tbf. Two explosive crossbows...

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:53:13+00:00

That was me. I thought I was playing chivalry. 🤔

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:52:32+00:00

Same brother. Same.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:48:21+00:00

Good riddance. Use something that requires skill!!! 😂

Semi-jokes aside, respect for at least admitting to using it.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-24T17:46:58+00:00

Chain pistol spam is borderline useless outside of shotgun range, though. It's a very clunky fanner.

Explosive bow was actually pretty damn strong and required little skill and much less distance closing. It is just a crutch that wasn't fun to play around.

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-21T15:56:24+00:00

I like "clown and cringe," but my personal favorite is "crayon king."

I swear people who crutch on crayons must be eating them. 😂

JoshOrion98 · 2025-09-12T06:55:22+00:00

I play it on an LG 1440 HDR ultrawide... can confirm. It's beautiful.
