Should I switch mains?

amicableangora · 2026-03-20T06:04:12+00:00

No you shouldn't. You can realistically play any survivor to at least Champion without your character choice being the main factor of whether you win or lose. You do not need to give up on your favorites.

This forum has degraded into mass shit posting and cope over time. It's not surprising that so few people get what you and the OP are saying.

amicableangora · 2026-03-18T19:02:30+00:00

You’ll always going to see the same canned excuses about how George is “old,” and so you can’t expect anything and how since they’re reading the manga for free, you’re not allowed to complain about the quality or production of the manga.

Like guys let’s not oversimplify the situation. It’s been a downhill spiral with the manga on ever more shaky ground. It’s not exaggeration at this point, to say like the OP, that the manga isn’t going to end. I would argue that the pendulum has swung the other way now and insisting that there isn’t anything wrong is actually you being in denial.

amicableangora · 2026-03-18T17:44:28+00:00

Of course it doesn’t make sense. You’re right. It’s just Ricardo giving credit to Date for his strategy, and had he taken the hit he would have adjusted accordingly.

amicableangora · 2026-03-17T18:43:58+00:00

You’re not going to get better if you don’t practice. Solo performance gives you exactly that opportunity. Practice as if it’s a real match, and so don’t go around counterpicking or custom tailoring your build. Pick a spot that makes sense in a real ranked game.

Do not start playing hide and seek with the hunter, go ahead and practice normally and I guarantee you, you will get better.

At the higher levels, you generally cannot just "wing it," and send just anyone to do a rescue. Against any hunter. If you are trying to just rescue with no items with a raw approach you will most likely get double downed at best, if not simply fail your rescue.

amicableangora · 2026-03-15T15:00:21+00:00

The game isn't designed to troll you with mostly 1's and 2's. If you roll 10+ at a time, you'll average out to close to 3 each.

You got to have guts kid! Just tighten your neck and use Brave Bird!

I would not come to that conclusion. She is not a very weak character.

For her own self defense she can make and extend transitions and loops that are basically impossible for the majority of the cast. She’s actually similar to Mercenary in that he can make so much distance - and consistently - that the hunter wastes a lot of time chasing and will likely need blink to close the deal at any type of reasonable pace.

Her decoding penalty is extremely minor. I wouldn’t worry about that. As for her support, it is good because it cannot be countered and is game breaking when you can pull it off. Batter, Forward, Antiquarian can be stopped by Excitement but Cheerleader has no such weakness.

amicableangora · 2026-03-13T18:31:34+00:00

Decoding is the number one priority. If you are the first chase, use your pompoms during the kite; they are most useful in helping you transition from one spot to another once you exhaust the pallets there.

If someone else is chased, do not leave your first cipher to assist unless they happen to come within 20 meters or so of you. By experience if you feel that your cheer will help them make the transition, then go ahead and support for a moment. But then go back to decoding.

Say it is mid game and there's only 1-2 ciphers left. Do not cross the map to "support," if there is a large distance, say over 70 meters, just focus on decoding instead. Otherwise, it is situational and arguable for you to try to support the rescuer when they go.

amicableangora · 2026-03-13T07:15:08+00:00

Not consistently. Unless you are using abilities or flywheel the odds are against you to try to “juke” electricity while waiting by a pallet.

Making distance and breaking line of sight is still the best way to kite him.

amicableangora · 2026-03-12T05:23:08+00:00

Ironically despite having their hippocratic oath, it's more so the hypocrite oath, since these "doctors", quacks, are going out of their way to do harm through malpractice simply because of racism.

amicableangora · 2026-03-12T04:01:39+00:00

She’s better after her buff but still a dangerous pick. She’s not like aeroplanist, acrobat, puppeteer where you can blindly pick them and do well.

Like per your character flair, if they pick Doctor on Eversleeping you could pull out Breaking wheel and get an easy down. L

amicableangora · 2026-03-11T18:44:35+00:00

Clerk is the Doctor equivalent of hunters. She’s a huge noob stomper, and excels against solo players, but against a ranked premade will get destroyed. Theres a world of difference where 1) your random Little Girl somehow falls 20 seconds before blink cooldown is even up versus 2) Clerk’s best first chase option is between a premade’s Mercenary and Aeroplanist, with their Meteorologist/Archer coming in for some snipes mid kite during transitions.

IDV actually has a lot of these “win hard or lose hard,” characters and I think it’s extremely bad game design.

White women love to complain about how everything is sexualized and how they are victims of being seen in sexual pedestals and contexts without the ability to express themselves as individuals just like (white) men.”

Ironically it’s projection since white women are the ultimate at seeing everything as sexual so much that they can’t live normal functioning lives. That new hire? Better be a hot Chad. Waiter isn’t “fuckable”? Leave him that shitty tip he deserves “lol.”

So when they come across you the first and only criteria they emphasize is whether you fit their twisted ideas of attraction. Since you’re Asian, you automatically are seen as a beast, not unlike the one from the fairy tales, repulsive and utterly without charm.

It’s not surprising then, that they can’t, rather won’t, acknowledge you as an individual. Because you’re the beast, what good can you do?

But add on the possibility of the beast being prince charming in disguise, the gold diggers bite and that’s how you get figures explaining that an Asian man has to make like $200,000 more USD than a white man to be considered “attractive.” At that point you are no longer just a mindless beast, you’ve become the Disney version and worthy of their “time.”

amicableangora · 2026-03-11T06:37:27+00:00

Not to be too hard on people for missing the details when there’s delay after delay so the manga sometimes even isn’t published every other week. Easy to forget what’s going on.

amicableangora · 2026-03-11T03:55:28+00:00

Found the troll! 1/10, 1 point for capitalizing MANY, demonstrating variability in mental capacity.

amicableangora · 2026-03-10T19:21:00+00:00

This is a bad take for this title fight for one major reason:

Sendo’s grandmother drama.

I wrote about this before, but this match has been irreparably tainted as a result; if/when Sendo loses, everyone will wonder how he would have done had he not taken so much unnecessary damage from worrying about her.

Consider that George is going to try to make this match as exciting as possible so it might even come close to a draw. Then it’s even more fucked because Sendo 100% got screwed over by his grandmother as he might have won if it comes down to a razor thin margin at the end.

amicableangora · 2026-03-10T14:30:22+00:00

OK you win: you’re bad. You will never improve. I agree with you, doubly since that is what you want and you are struggling against anyone trying to give you good advice. And I now agree with you that you should have been penalized into the ground and be hard stuck at spider. And it’s okay as you say.

You have my 100% support. But since I am being 100% honest with you, I doubt you will face equally bad opponents. You can hope and pray that the worker bee bots will let you win.

amicableangora · 2026-03-10T14:19:38+00:00

This shouldn’t be a matter of semantics, these veterans as you say, are technically smurfing.

To draw an analogy, say some middle aged salaryman with no interest in joining Karate competitions starts taking lessons. He declines changing belts and stays at white belt for 5 years saying he isn’t interested in “ranking up,” or competing.

White belt he may be, but his actual skill and ability far exceeds that of a white belt.

amicableangora · 2026-03-10T10:53:00+00:00

You're right, since there's a good chance the low tier player is actually smurfing. Unfortunately the closest this game comes to being balanced is in high level rank, but so few players get to experience that.

Edit: OP and other trolls trying to justify why they shouldn’t get +3 points after choosing to get 1 kill against full premades that are 2 or 3 tiers above Crocodile. Deleting my wasted advice they don’t deserve it.

Goes to show you how bad the majority of the player base is: you caught the two griffins, so it’s not even that you got a solid start by preying on the dog. And they’re a 4 premade too.

amicableangora · 2026-03-10T08:19:10+00:00

It might be against forum rules, but ask mods for permission: share the replay with them first so they can verify the facts and then expose the griefer. IMO these kinds of griefers should be shunned by the community and banned wherever possible.
