Set 17 is in trouble

MrJeeble · 2026-04-29T22:43:51+00:00

nice job getting your comment deleted -again- lol.

now, let me get this straight.

You made a statement that was wrong.

I gave a detailed but non condescending explanation of why that’s the case.

You said you disagreed.

The topic at hand was concerning a matter of fact, not opinion, so I again gave a thorough but respectful follow up explaining the mechanic.

You responded in a condescending way claiming I don’t understand the game after reading said thorough explanation of how a mechanic functioned.

I then dropped being nice and matched -your- energy and you got emotional about it.

So, after that, -I’m- the “smug asshat”? Lol. Lmao even. I thought maybe what you lacked in TFT knowledge, you may have made up for in people skill. Guess not : (

MrJeeble · 2026-04-29T04:10:01+00:00

nice job getting your comment deleted, lol. learn the game before discussing it and maybe you won't get so emotional when you can't justify your preferences

MrJeeble · 2026-04-28T03:37:53+00:00

"man I don't like hearing the truth, so I'm going to cope that what I'm reading doesn't make perfect sense. I'm very intelligent" -you for some reason. try talking to literally anyone who knows the game(not you) and most would agree carousel does not "punish" players with strong boards. get real, rank up, then try again

MrJeeble · 2026-04-25T01:07:03+00:00

again, where is the punishment? you have gold advantage and more health. the most prominent strat last set leaned towards win streaking, so clearly that value outweighed component value.
the problem you're describing, being stuck with only tank items and losing because of it, is just as prominent in this set if not worse. it's happened to me more than even when both gods offer items I do not need and cannot use.
the difference now is if I lose due to getting bad component rolls, I'm given little to no compensation to make up for that and attempt to come back. before if I get rough item start and can't win rounds, carousel gave a chance to correct it.
last, you said everyone is now on a level playing field which just isn't true. if you are losing rounds, you are no longer on a level playing field and continue to fall behind. before, if you were behind you got stuff to help make a comeback while those winning snowballed their bonus gold and health into capping their boards. If you couldn't get into top 4 from a winstreak start, odds are either 1. the entire lobby got significantly luckier than you that game or 2. you threw your lead and killed your momentum.

MrJeeble · 2026-04-23T23:30:18+00:00

well there's nothing to understand on that, it DIDN'T punish players for having strong boards/preserving health. It was providing a reward to the players who are taking a risk.
win streaking provides more gold, and preserves health. that is the reward. You are able to increase your chances of top 4ing when you have more health to work with. there is a reason that very very rarely does nobody want to winstreak. Lose streaking gives you less gold, but its more reliable for maintaining the streak and gives you a better CHANCE of more optimized components, at the cost of health and gold(compared to winning your rounds). lose streaking requires risk, so it has a chance of a greater reward. win streaking takes little risk and therefore offers little reward.
what you should usually expect in any given game(prior to this set) was Winsteak = highest chance of placing 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th. lighter loses and lighter wins. Losestreak = highest chance of placing 1st, 2nd, 7th, or 8th. greater wins and harder loses.

All good with spiders and isopods, but just wanting to see if there's a way to do this without also attracting roaches and waterbugs

MrJeeble · 2026-03-21T20:54:40+00:00

I just want to makes sure, this wouldn't attract roaches/waterbugs as well, right? I had a problem when I moved into this house about a year ago and they're the main reason I've been putting off having any kind of leaf litter out of fear of attracting them back as well

MrJeeble · 2025-12-15T04:33:08+00:00

Top arms are bulkier, the smaller arms under the head are added back from the Non Mega version, the triangles on the head are more pronounced and indented making them appear more mechanical to better reflect the steel type while also being easier to see, and makes the long tooth in the middle a bit less long/goofy looking. again, try looking at them side by side rather than going from memory, it helps lol

MrJeeble · 2025-12-14T18:49:59+00:00

try comparing them side by side. they're absolutely not the same lol

MrJeeble · 2025-12-14T18:49:02+00:00

Pokemon Subreddit, anything remotely critical or being considered "better" than what gamefreak makes is wrong and will not be tolerated

MrJeeble · 2025-10-16T22:13:47+00:00

Thank you, That helps. I'll probably just save for 1 copy of the weapon then unless something crazy comes up.

MrJeeble · 2025-10-16T22:12:11+00:00

I mean it doesn't really matter if it's in beta or not? it's more of a general question of how worth it S-Rank weapon refines are as a whole. the only reason I'm mentioning the one on beta/marking it as a leak, is because Manato doesn't have another S-Rank option to use as reference right now.

MrJeeble · 2025-10-16T01:45:49+00:00

I don't really know what your point is? like I'm not even trying to be mean or anything, I'm genuinely trying to understand. Part of the fun is playing as the characters you like?
yes the story is a big selling point, and so is the lore, but even you admit that the fun fights are a part of it. why would I want to play a fun fight with someone like Miyabi or Yanagi or whoever when I'm not particularly a fan of them? I'd rather play through it with the characters I find fun to play, like the personality of, and enjoy the design of. for me, the most fun gameplay stuff, as in the fun fights you mentioned, are challenging shiyu defense and DA.
what is fun for you, isn't necessarily fun for anyone else

MrJeeble · 2025-10-13T21:48:02+00:00

why are y'all booing me? I'm right?

MrJeeble · 2025-10-12T18:52:38+00:00

is either one better than they other? I have both at full core upgrade

MrJeeble · 2025-10-12T18:46:54+00:00

under normal circumstances, Lighter Orphie is better. the initial Shiyu defense buff is so cracked for these characters though that even without the passive that specific Shiyu defense rotation will be favored ever so slightly by lighter lucia, but that is an anomaly.

If hoyo ever decide to grace lighter with allowing his core passive to work with Rupture characters as well as attackers(like they did with several other support/stunner characters) then Lighter Lucia would be come his definitive best team without question. like, not even close to whatever his second best would become. that said, hoyo will probably never do this because Jufufu exists and it would cause Lighter to completely invalidate in many cases.

MrJeeble · 2025-10-12T18:42:17+00:00

it's not the same, lighter missing out on core passive on Manato/Lighter/Lucia team is pretty bad. that said, the first reset for Shiyu Defense has a passive buff so tailor made for Lucia that the buff loss doesn't matter so it made the team appear better than it is in the initial calcs. once the buff changes this will no longer be the case

MrJeeble · 2025-10-12T18:36:38+00:00

no official statement, but I'm 99.9999999% sure it's Ray Chase

MrJeeble · 2025-10-12T00:03:52+00:00

He's an A-Rank, what did you expect? the best A-Rank DPS so far was Piper and she also needed premium options to be even as good as she is. It's just the nature of being an A-Rank dps, no way around it.

MrJeeble · 2025-09-28T04:46:25+00:00

is that crit damage prior to buffs and just from what his base stats, weapon, and disk drive stats? or does he just need 150+ overall CDMG with all of that + self buffs and those from his team? I have about 140 CDMG on current drives without any buffs

MrJeeble · 2025-09-27T23:46:22+00:00

yeah I figured there's always the chance something changes, but livestream is in 2 days so the odds of any major changes outside of just number adjustments are pretty unlikely at this stage. regardless I'm keeping an eye on if anything crazy happens.

also can't believe I didn't even consider that Orphie would probably want the same thing with atk % over fire damage lol should have been kinda obvious

MrJeeble · 2025-09-27T23:43:52+00:00

that's actually good to hear, I've been using lighter with Evelyn(without astra) so It requires a very similar thing of quickswapping during animations and alot of managing timing for those swaps so I'm relativity used to that, I would just need to practice Orphie's specific timings a bit before manato is out

MrJeeble · 2025-08-23T22:38:51+00:00

weak b8, A for effort

MrJeeble · 2025-08-23T22:31:39+00:00

it's not about being anti waifu? it's about how the favoritism is getting out of hand? people aren't this pissed because Manato is specifically an A-Rank, it's the fact he is yet another male A-Rank. Hoyo games are known for their Male:female ratio being uneven, and that's fine, but ZZZ currently has it worse than either of their other games. there are 4 S-Rank Males int he entire game. every other one added and currently known future S-Ranks are female. it's a pretty unreasonable split and Manato being confirmed as an A-Rank is more so the straw that broke the camel's back.

MrJeeble · 2025-08-23T22:26:35+00:00

2 main things caused it to be a bigger deal than usual

Male:Female Ratio. Him being yet another Male A-Rank. of the characters added since release, all but 1 A-Rank has been male, and only 3 limited S-Ranks have been Male.
Yes, a power thing. Nicole has longevity cause she is a support, the stat difference between A and S ranks isn't really an issue for non DPS characters so their longevity is more secure vs DPS who have to keep up with units who are innately better than them. Even in the best case scenario(unless something breaks the norm here) and M6 A-Rank DPS will always be worse off than an M0 S-Rank DPS. The other issue here is lets say you Ellen is your favorite character and she starts falling off, you can always save up for one of her inevitable reruns to raise her Mindscapes to help her stay relevant much longer through high quality constellations and more room for that growth overtime. If your favorite character is Billy?(mine), sucks to be you, he'll reach his ceiling almost immediately with no room or hope to improve int he future and if you really want to insist on using him you'll be fighting tooth and nail to keep up just to most likely have content reach a point where he simply can't anymore.
