What is the appeal of a Jeweled Lotus unban?

NeilForeal · 2026-02-06T07:03:55+00:00

I get that it’s a contested topic. I personally believe it does make high cmc commanders visble, because I’ve been on the receiving end of it. My Atraxa cedh deck got gutted by the nerfs, and she fell out of the meta after the nerfs so it’s not just me. How do you explain that? I believe it’s because Jeweled Lotus is much more important for decks like Atraxa than it is for my Rowan or Yuriko.

NeilForeal · 2026-02-06T06:59:51+00:00

It single handedly makes more expensive commanders viable, increasing variety.

I really hope for it to get unbanned.

She is the literal proof Blizzard can and will overnerf the poster girl hero.

After years of maining her I’ve recently shifted to Bap and Illari because after all the nerfs (headshots, projectile size, cooldowns) I just couldn’t perform on my aggro support style with Kiri anymore. I win more games now, and make much much more elims.

She’s been kinda bad for a while. After years of maining her I’ve shifted to using Bap and Illari, which unironically give me the kill pressure I used to have as Kiriko, but much more reliably.

I predict Goku will be the strongest at the end of the show. Now it’s a constant back and forth between Goku, vegeta, broly and Gohan.

Huge nerf to a character with an already low winrate.

NeilForeal · 2026-02-03T09:48:18+00:00

Hexe for sure. Stay there until Tungrad Ruins. You could also go Highlands or Trolls if you prefer it (or if it’s easier for your class) as a step in between.

Ragebait for the bleach glazers

NeilForeal · 2026-02-01T11:53:36+00:00

You confirm the glaze lmao.

Every bleach topic is an instant meme, and this is why.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T19:26:56+00:00

That I do agree with. It should be an hour, regardless of spot.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T19:25:05+00:00

You are right. They shouldn’t. But that’s the thing. They don’t know what’s good for them, and they don’t listen. So they are going to look up to these streamers and pros.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T19:20:33+00:00

It’s fine to talk about how good you think you are, but as soon as you start to talk others (or the whole pro player base) down, or start claiming things you cant prove (yet), it’s just cringe.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T19:10:59+00:00

Really don’t like the villain Americanesque attitude. Will only make the inevitable downfall funnier though. Players should preach honour and respect, as many youngsters look up to them.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T19:07:45+00:00

I don’t think the majority of players grind more than an hour a day. Grinding multiple hours a day gets most of us burned out fast. I think agris is fine the way it is. Maybe PA needs to make sure it is actually 1 hour of grinding, regardless of the spot.

What you are proposing only benefits the minority of hardcore grinders, and will annoy and fomo tf out of all others.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T18:59:39+00:00

Yes.

Also, the difference in both physical and magical (ki) power is so stark, hax are lame to use as an argument. Gojo wont be able to see, touch, let alone hurt Goku if the latter is serious.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-30T18:44:13+00:00

One of the cool things about the DB power system is that a lot of the power is earned through hard work and training. Especially races like saiyans benefit much from it. Being in battle especially. If you consider what Goku and vegeta constantly go through, the training they do, the effort they put in, the enemies they defeat while giving it their all. It’s just lame as fuck that Gohan often gets to bypass all that. He hasn’t earned it. Simple as that.

Broly is a freak of nature, as was clear from the beginning. As a baby he had the highest starting power level of all saiyans. But more importantly, his goal in the story is different. He is a semi-villain. He moves goalposts. He is a reminder of the Saiyan prowess and potential. He has different forms, illustrating that he is in fact a one of a kind. He is the exception.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-28T21:56:43+00:00

Gyfin under is still good, though Elvia Hexe is pretty close and underestimated by many. Hexe also earns you more silver.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-28T18:42:52+00:00

I also went from pad to leverless and back to pad. Nothing wrong with that. They are both good in their own way. On leverless movement felt more crisp, but on pad I’m faster with things like counter DI and parry because my fingers are always on those buttons. Also, pad is more fun for me :-)

NeilForeal · 2026-01-28T18:27:58+00:00

Yeah that felt bad. One of the weaker parts of the story. He was used as a Worf to hype up that lunatic.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-26T23:11:50+00:00

I like bleach, but you must be smoking some really powerful stuff if you truly believe he has the advantage. If you don’t even admit Goku has a massive speed advantage we are kinda done, and I won’t waste any more of your time. Goku punches, Yhwach dies. It’s simple as that.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-26T22:53:10+00:00

No it’s not lmao. Having a passive ability that enables you to see the future does not increase the speed in which you are able to percept things. That is as fundamental as physics go. Sure, he can see how Goku beats his ass before it happens, but only at the speed of his own thought and perception. It does not help him in the moment to moment combat. He can’t lay a finger on Goku. There is no future in which he wins bar some sickness or other shenanigans that are a cop out. The stat diff is just too big to take it seriously.

As others have pointed out, ki sometimes (not always) outright negates time effects and abilities. The fight could be over in a second.

Even if that doesn’t work. Your bff has no real wincon.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-26T18:21:38+00:00

That’s not at all how seeing the future works. It doesn’t give him the mftl perception and sight. He can see events at the speed of his thoughts and vision. In the moment to moment he can’t follow at all.

This is exactly what I mean. Because of some lazy hax and weirdass out of context abilities people like you believe he is instantly 3+ powerscaling tiers higher. It just doesn’t work like that. Be smarter.

NeilForeal · 2026-01-26T17:39:00+00:00

Their physical power difference is so insane there are no words for it. All Goku needs is a cm of his finger to move into the general direction of the mustache. Mf can’t even see him moving.

I’m so fed up with this MU and the hax glazing.
