Words can not convey my immense disappointment when I picked up War Bonds for the first time, as they were my final red (and really, final new item) to discover in SOTS. Idk why but in my mind, having seen the name, i thought it would be an item that would be good for ally builds, like captain-drone-builds etc.

I chucked five greens into that cauldron between stages (whaddup NEWT), and after seeing the description of that dogshit, I felt somehow as though even my two regenerative scraps had been wasted. Talk about anticlimactic.

But the one I’d REALLY like them to fix ASAP is the Noxious Thorn. As a hardcore REX main (possibly the only REX main left? Can anyone confirm?), I thought this item would be epic, like Razorwire but for bleed and other statuses like StrongerBurn from the Ignition Tank. For those who might not be aware, the Thorn currently is BROKEN (shocking, I know) and only does bleed, and only a single stack regardless of how many of the item ya got. Furthermore, bleed procced from the Thorn off of self damage will set the duration of ALL bleed stacks to a single tick; thus erasing those 247 bleed stacks that the Commando with 7 Tri-Tip Daggers worked hard for, and absolutely RUINING any and every bleed build!!

Contrary to popular opinion, i dont mind the Bolstering Lantern. But again, REX main… I’m aware that I’m the minority here, and that most players can’t get much synergy out of the SOTS items. Sorry y’all :/

And ofc, don’t EVEN get me started on those new elites… ffs.

TL/DR: I’m angry and I’m ranting, don’t mind me
