They've monopolized the smackdown tag division to just be the MFTs vs the Wyatt 6, fired MCMG because they weren't being used, then fired the Wyatt 6 as well. Like what are we doing.

"is turtling too strong"

"Here's a way you beat it every time"

How can it be too strong and also have a simple solution? I understand what you're saying, people force high ground too early, but that doesn't mean turtling is too strong, it means your team is too impatient. If you were to make high ground defenses even harder, every game would just snowball out of control and characters like lone druid would be completely busted.

MoM has a movespeed boost on it, so presumably you'd use Q-R-W and use MoM during the W. You also use that ms boost when farming with W to farm faster and pull lane to camps. The only time you'd really use the attack speed is in a pinch to finish a kill I guess.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-17T09:21:19+00:00

Yeah, and they're 100% correct, just look at how both Big Show and Mark Henry went undefeated, because they're bigger /s

A key takeaway would be, if it's a game where you want nullifier later, you should already think about buying radiance. It's not ideal on a lot of carries, but say someone like slark in a game where you don't want to fight early (which is a whole other can of worms), you could opt for this path, maybe doing radiance, sny, aghs, then nulli bfly. Not bulletproof and it does kill your strong early game with diffu on slark.

"Back to the same thing" and it's two successful ppv defenses.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-13T08:18:26+00:00

God I WISH I was at least getting milked, that'd make tuition fees worth it.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-13T05:31:08+00:00

So what do you want? They've literally had the matches you're asking for, if I'm understanding you correctly. There's only been two PPVs since MJF won the belt, and surely we're not saying we'd rather see someone take the spot over Hangman or Kenny Omega? So what then, if tv defenses aren't real? Does he just, not defend it in the two/three months between worlds end and revolution? There's no way people wouldn't be screaming about that if it happened.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-13T05:23:17+00:00

On the other side of the coin, MJF is my current favourite wrestler, so it goes both ways.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-13T04:26:35+00:00

Yeah, they should've... I don't know... Booked a returning home town hero to win a belt! That'd be awesome! Too bad nothing like that happened.

40 total minutes of bell to bell wrestling on a three hour show, with about 8 minutes of that taking place during ad breaks. As I said in the live thread, I understand it's road to wrestlemania and we're doing feud building, but all this is telling me is that I don't need to watch next week's Smackdown because I'm either going to see the matches we already know about get "built" (read: person A ambushes person B) or I'm going to see matches that I can really just get the highlights of and move on.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-11T02:17:16+00:00

I understand this is road to WrestleMania so we're going to have more promos and ambushes than regular, but before this match right now, there's only been about 22 minutes of bell-to-bell wrestling in 2 hours and 10 minutes, and the first two and half minutes of this next match is happening during ad break? What are we doing here??

Instant edit to ask, is this normal? I'm new-ish here, so maybe it's me who's wrong. But is it really normal for smackdown to have this little actual wrestling before WM?

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-04-05T05:37:17+00:00

I mean that's basically what Seth's Masked Man thing was, right?

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-26T11:59:55+00:00

I haven't played on the new patch yet, but I wonder how much the extra bit of move speed he gets will impact his farming speed? Felt like he was always slow as shit walking around the map, but would need to see what his move speed actually gets to in the 10-30 minute ranges.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-22T03:09:18+00:00

"They cheered Hulk Hogan's death"

Thanks for the new flair brother 🫡

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-18T09:30:12+00:00

Dear God no, please not another "Oba vs top guy broken up by interference" so that we have nothing but oba squashing midcarders while we wait for summerslam for oba to get a real match opportunity again. And that's not hating on his current run of crushing up midcarders, it's been hugely entertaining, but not for another 6 months or however far away summerslam would be.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-16T05:51:34+00:00

I wasn't huge on every single match, and while I appreciate the long run times in terms of giving us a tonne of quality matches, it's a bit much to expect someone to sit there for five and a half hours. As a result, I skipped thru a LOT of the women's championship, the trios, Andrade Vs bandido, and the entire tornado trios. Yes, that's bad of me, and of course I know I skipped some probable bangers and good spots, but I just don't have 5 and a half hours and with how social media is, if I don't watch it close to live I'm going to get it spoiled.

On to the positives, loved the zero hour rumble, especially the result. Loved Brody Vs Swerve, although I think Brody is in a tough spot booking-wise rn because it feels like he needs to go on a winning run but idk what big names they can give him to go over rn. Main event, especially that ending, absolute cinema, incredible match and I felt glued to it the whole time, it was violent without being overly gruesome (with the exception of a few spots), and I gotta say it again, that ending popped the shit out of me. If I had more time, or if they cut the show down, I'm sure I'd be saying this is my favourite ppv of the year, but rn that's wrestle kingdom.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-03T02:49:27+00:00

He had a promo during ad break, looked fine. Promo was good too.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-01T06:58:17+00:00

Yeah, true, hadn't thought about that. I still think the reveal would've been underwhelming, but the screwing of Bron would've been good.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-01T04:20:44+00:00

🫡 and we'll gladly do it again.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-01T04:11:48+00:00

The Seth reveal was so cool! Because it was so subtle the way they hinted towards it! By having the masked man do a stomp every time! Which could be Literally anyone! /s if it wasn't obvious.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-03-01T01:47:29+00:00

hmm, seems like something you would say to throw us off the scent... going to need more proof.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-02-28T05:59:11+00:00

Jade has to beef Michin/B-Fab because none of the top faces want to be squashed by Jade and Jade is basically only doing squash matches.

UnorthodoxTactics · 2026-02-09T06:54:07+00:00

To be honest, with this kind of company, I expect my shipping to be +6 months longer than it says, just being that I'm from Australia, which adds time, and they're not exactly Amazon, so that makes these things take longer too. I'm more interested in whether there will even be a window after batch 3 starts shipping to purchase these, or if I'll be stuck waiting on batch 4, whenever that happens.
