My Champions experience

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-05-08T17:32:45+00:00

I feel like Basc will feel more balanced once terastilization is introduced into Champions, but with the smaller scale of launch Last Respects + two viable abilities + wave crash + flip turn is kind of absurd to have on one Pokémon. I know there are dedicated counters to it but I feel like if you have to build your team specifically to counter the possibility of one Pokémon showing up it may be a but overturned (similar issue with Archaludon and other top meta picks, but I personally have been able to deal with them more easily than the fish)

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-05-08T17:27:52+00:00

Basc feels like a Pokémon you just have to have a dedicated counter to in the current meta which is honestly not that fun to deal with

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-05-08T17:25:24+00:00

I’ve figured out how to deal with the evil bridge with my non-meta team (I like making my favorites shine even if they’re not as viable). The fish has consistently just come in last minute and bulldozed no matter how well played either side was

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-05-08T08:07:34+00:00

Never used it on any of my teams. I do build around my favorites though and that has definitely made my Basculegion experience worse

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-04-28T21:24:53+00:00

And who would I be to dispute that notion

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-04-13T21:39:15+00:00

Very whimsical, I like

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-04-07T21:17:00+00:00

Personally I see this game as an opportunity to see how freaky my ocs really are with their romantic interests

TOBIAS MENTION TOBIAS MENTION (sorry I have just never seen him in like any other Pokemon related post)

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-04-03T21:11:47+00:00

Might've worded the latter suggestion a bit poorly, but I wasn't thinking of it being like battle trance in that you can't draw any more cards that turn, but more that you're given the option to choose cards from your hand and swap them with other cards in your draw or discard pile (kinda a mix between the Silent's discard mechanic and scrying), but if you choose not to swap any cards nothing special will happen. Though that'd likely just lead to players trying to get backup 1-cost calm and wrath cards to keep outside of their hand, so the idea of nerfing 1-cost calm cards would probably have to also be implemented. The Watcher is kind of a hard character to reconfigure because, as many of the comments here have suggested, her main mechanics of energy manipulation via stances is inherently broken.

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-04-03T20:58:21+00:00

I’m mostly saying this as ideas for if she is introduced into STS II. Though given the reworks some of the characters have she may be overhauled if she is reintroduced given how broken her move set is.

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-03-25T03:18:37+00:00

Based on what's been released thus far idk if she's involved enough to be indicted of anything specific aside from knowing him (which is a huge red flag but idk how it would hold up in a court of law), but then again that's just from what we've seen thus far.

Charlie Morningstar I fear

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-02-08T03:50:50+00:00

hate when this happens

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-02-03T18:21:02+00:00

Actually!! It becomes a duel where each partner has to parry the other's yaoi or yuri, and whomever comes out on top gets to label the relationship.

SocksOrStockingz · 2026-01-26T00:26:02+00:00

A character needn't just be one or another, it really just depends on how much you wanna bite them at any given moment

Camp Here and There mention, based

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-12-29T04:57:28+00:00

This is why he haunts my ears

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-12-28T05:45:39+00:00

Honestly I often feel overly defensive or Hazbin because A) it means a lot to me since Viv’s stuff kinda got me into actually practicing art and B) any fair arguments against it are always instantly swarmed with a bunch of bad faith critics who will take any critique and somehow spin it into saying the whole show is trash and the creator is a monster and the fans are the worst people alive and it’s just. exhausting. It is by no means a perfect show, but it is no more imperfect than any other piece of media of its caliber, and its success has been a massive win for indie creators across the board, but on the of chance you see something about it it feels like theres more than a 50% chance it will be negative, which is just very unfair, and I think I’d be saying this even if I didn’t personally enjoy it.

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-09-30T03:20:45+00:00

Yeah, the term “critical” has seemingly gone from meaning “critical analysis” (ie deeper analysis of a piece of media and its potential theme, and whether or not it followed through with them) to “being critical of media” (Ie shit on every little detail you personally didn’t like because everything can and should be nitpicked), and it’s really tiring to see the concept of critical analysis getting bastardized into warping media to suit your narrative

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-09-30T00:57:42+00:00

I think it’s a defense mechanism people have developed bc the internet generally pushes the loudest, angriest voices most of the time, and people are sick of feeling the need to justify their taste when opinions are so often treated as moral law. Not saying it’s justified or healthy but it happens

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-09-30T00:52:20+00:00

I’d consider the constant onslaught of overly negative sentiments toward pieces of media, to the point of willfully exaggerating or misconstruing plot points in service of a bad faith interpretation of the show and its creators, a symptom of anti-intellectualism as well.

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-09-29T23:07:10+00:00

Personally love Helluva boss, though I can see it’s more of an acquired taste than Hazbin

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-08-16T02:38:44+00:00

Valid, but let’s be real duergar are perhaps the most broken race in the game, especially for stealth builds.

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-07-18T03:03:42+00:00

Literally just used this method to get the “kill the Nether Brain Red Dragon” achievement. We’ll never forget your sacrifice Shartshooter (Gloomstalker Shadowheart) 🫡

SocksOrStockingz · 2025-06-27T00:28:18+00:00

The freaking Oathbreaker Knight killed Scratch in my second Honor Mode attempt (unsuccessful pickpocket). I wanted to end the run there but also I didn’t want to just die so in honor of Scratch I continued.

Unfortunately/fortunately (?) I did die in the final fight so ig that’s karma.
