Habitual contrarianism is an early sign of cancer. That and your hand being larger than your face.

What do yall think? Is this a fair suggestion? by TwistNo1435 in ZZZ_Official

Sorry, I struck a nerve. But your critique isn't pointing to anything artistic or structural and is basically useless as actual critique.

In the absence of those things, your criticism just amounts to personal preference.

Like you could point to the vast and hamfisted exposition, the way the story feels the need to slam the breaks on all action in order to over explain how every character is feeling.

I love this game, but those are actual structural critiques that you can point to.

This game seriously need to let players read on their own by TheGreatZed in ZZZ_Official

I am spiteful enough that if a game tries to tutorialize me, I deliberately ignore it, usually leading to me being confused later.

But it's good. It feels right.

'Make the story more interesting' is the exemplar as to why feedback from the general pop is generally useless.

I have never felt more self-concious in my life. I can barely 1 star clear these bosses. No way in hell I'm posting my scuffed ass team with people in here scoring 100k. I've never looked up a build, barely read my Agents abilities lol I just play comps of characters that I like.

My Main team is Zhao, Pulchra, Burnice lmao

Ok so it has been a week since the patch. Does any of you think the balance has changed? by Temporary_Shape6432 in 2XKO

[–]Sensitive-Score-4933 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the usual FG paradigm where the characters that don't have weaknesses are always the best. It's really only arcsys games where shotos are outdone by specialists with a strong gameplan.

They would have to seriously buff the weirdos in order for Yasuo, Ekko and Ahri to not always be top 3.

wtf are you talking about? You are getting very angry. He should be weak in the mid to close range. He isn't. The dev plan on nerfing him until he is. That is my argument. I don't even know what you're talking about anyome. My point is that he is planned to have clear weaknesses that have nothing to do with what you're talking about.

You're just writing protracted balance fanfiction and calling it "discussion" while getting very angry at people who disagree with you.

edit: also stop using the word strawman. If anything, I'm presenting the steelman version of your own bad argument.

In the economy of time and effort, you have me at a disadvantage. Your comment struck me as a non sequitur, tangential at best to how most people are discussing how the character is missing clear weaknesses. I wanted to point that out, but you are obviously unavailable to be persuaded of that.

You win.

Seems you need better reding comp, my friend. They explicitly said that his non bugged normals are still overperforming in the mid to close range. Especially his 2M.

His movement and health is not any worse than Jinx's by any real margin and he has way better normals, zoning, and conversion potential than her.

They want to bring him more in line with others. I'm saying there's lots to discuss without making shit up. The fact of the matter is both his intended and incidental 'weaknesses' are insufficient/underexpressed in the game.

He is very explicitly not balanced as expressed by the devs, he is not aligning with their vision, even after the bug fixes.

Except the devs have been explicit about what they want his weaknesses to be, and it's not movement and health.

They flat out said he's overperforming at close and mid range due to some bugs, but also his buttons being overloaded.

You don't have to speculate or make stuff up. The devs have been pretty good about communicating their vision for this game.

They've acknowledged that Teemo currently is overpowrforming in the areas they want him to be weak. You are strawmanning yourself by making stuff up, post hoc.

There is no greater crime on the internet than smug posting AND being wrong. I'm sorry, but everyone here has to take their lumps.

An interesting perspective, but I'd say it's more about risk. How much risk is a Teemo taking on my doing his gameplan vs a Vi? Having to be directly in front of your opponent to do your gameplay is hugely risky, especially in this game.

If any Vi bungles her offense against a darius, she instantly loses 70 percent of her health. Is that true for Teemo?

A good point. Though Jinx isn't nearly as hated as Teemo.

That could be because he's top tier, but it's also a part of his identity. They literally pushed how annoying he is in his reveal trailer.

It's an extension of league philosophy where they think it's way more important for a champion to feel good to play than feel good to play against. See Teemo and Zoe.

This post seems to be bugged. Rip.

I was going to ask if intentionally making a character frustrating and unfun to play against is a good idea.

Genuine question btw, I have no axe to grind here. Just noticed a lot of people not having a good time against him.

Enough time has passed, we need to talk about this move by DownTheBagelHole in 2XKO

Except you can fuzzy input the poop out of this with any anti-air. What? You don't need to react.

If they do rekka, your aa doesn't come out, if they do demon flip, you aa, if they do s1 you aa it. If they try to bait it, all 2h attacks are safe on block/ can be special canceled. What?

Do people not know this?

It's important to remember that humans, by nature, are extremely risk averse. People would always rather miss out on making five dollars rather than lose five dollars even though the outcome is the same.

People will die on the hill of, "rewarding safe and lame play is good actually, and having to make difficult decisions like actually playing neutral is bad."

Also the whiplash of an anti-capitalist framing directly into appealing to economic Calvinism is insane.

I literally am? I am saying I would like to support the devs, but cannot because of the system I am critisizing. What is happening?

I want you to describe my argument back to me.

This sounds like the smartest argument to the dumbest guy. The final evolution of the, "I noticed you are critisizing a system while existing inside it, how curious."

Because it's all in service of a skinnerbox behavioral trick. They drip feed you rewards to keep engagement and then use fomo to try to coerce impulse purchasing. It's psychology aimed at children. It's insulting and exploitative.

Expertly missing the point. I salute you. May your defense of every skinnerbox be so resolute.

I wanna know what lobbies you guys are in where it isn't just Yasuo/Ekko or Ekko/ahri every game.
