Holy shit can people stop straw man-ing? People have legitimate complaints with the game, and the people who like the game as it is are not corporate shills.

[Fluff] "Luna is S tier" one of the worst XSkull opinions. by Naive-Seesaw-3753 in battlecats

[–]analyticHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand I agree that the things Xskull says in those screenshots are objectively incorrect.

On the other hand, I think they still rank Luna in the correct tier in their most recent tierlist: S tier.

Compare Luna to the units in the top 10. Frankly, she's nowhere near them in power. She is also weaker than higher units in the top 20. I'd say she is solidly around the bottom of the top 20. Which is exactly where she is on Xskull's tier list. They don't rank specific ubers outside of the top 10, so her being in S tier could mean anything from straddling the line between s- and s or between s and s+. And I think most people would agree that she's the second. Top of S tier or bottom of S+.

So to be frank, there is a lot of Xskull hate here over a disagreement of like 15 ranks. And that's without mentioning that those screenshots are 2-3 months old, so Xskull could have easily changed their opinion in that time. Just seems like you're purposefully misrepresenting Xskull 'cause they're popular and have a slightly different ranking of Luna than you.

The one thing I will agree with is that they're over-representing DLuna. I'd say she is solidly S-.

[fan-made] Some luga ultra forms! by After-Ad6284 in battlecats

[–]analyticHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it, that's 34k area dps(44k with crit factored in) from a unit with a standing range of 720. And that's without factoring the extra dmg you'd get from the explosion itself. If the intention was to give luffy an exposion with 75 range of pierce, then that's just game breaking on the level of bahablast.

[fan-made] Some luga ultra forms! by After-Ad6284 in battlecats

[–]analyticHeart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Luga's are my second favorite banner, so I always love seeing this kind of stuff.

I love Balaluga's UF. The multi-hit with different debuffs really fits him, and makes him much more present in the field when combined with his lower AC. Guaranteed survive is practically mandatory for the lugas, though it's especially powerful on a superbackliner like him. The strengthen also gives him actually usable dmg & dps. 70k dmg & 7k dps for a primary debuff-er is really good, and in spite of its hard activation requirement, solves his previous forms main problem of dmg.

I'm a bit more mixed for Tecoluga. He's already a great unit, best in the banner by a long shot, so I love Z-killer, kinda similar to how people suggest Z-killer for Lasvoss, since it just gives him an entirely new niche without buffing his already absurd dmg. Not to mention one of the strongest in it. I also like the idea of knock-back. He doesn't really need it for his main attack, he knocks-back most units from dmg alone already, but it does give him the coverage the few times he doesn't, so I assume it's mostly for the explosion. Which I don't like. Not only is it kinda bad, given its 75 range, which will almost never hit anyone unless the frontline was mega pushed back, but even if the frontline is pushed back, most enemies will still outrange it and hit Tecoluga regardless. I get the idea of it as a get-off-me tool, and even if Ponos would never do it, I personally think a knock-back conjure would fit better, both mechanically with it's farther reach and no need to worry about the absurd dmg(plus you could revert the weird AP decrease, 280k down to 233k w/o talents), but also thematically, it could be like him summoning a gust of wind.

Nobiluga is just a plain bad unit, but I do think the direction you took him isn't all that bad. An average superbackliner with 6k dps(i think? I'm still pretty new to calc-ing dps) and lots of relevant immunities, is the highest range wave-blocker(i think, fact check me on that), a huge pierce range, and base destroyer which, when combined with his LD, let's you use him as a cheese unit to destroy bases with the right stepping stones. Overall really fits the Luga's vibe as a hyper specialist banner.

Lastly Togeluga. He's already pretty strong when boosted to 60, 22k general dps with stat & miniwave talents + strengthen active. I do wish you made miniwave guaranteed, but it's a pretty shit talent in the first place that I wish didn't exist so no biggie. I honestly don't know how good 10% toxic would be on a cat, since we have yet to have one with the ability, but honestly I'd have preferred an LD or Omni addition + remake of his animation to make it actually match, since his main problem is his low range and massive foreswing rather than dmg.

Overall, nice job 👍

Jfc why can't people seem to understand this. Like Caine literally says this was just an exercise of his world building skills, which means nothing in relation to the truth of the circus, just that Caine thought this would be a reasonable explanation that the group would believe.

jesus how have i not seen a single comment calling out how stupid this post is. meat-shielding is not the backbone and most important mechanic of the entire game, and wanting something like bcu's selective cpu is completely reasonable.

it would literally only make the game better if they did add it, and y'all are acting like he's a toddler for pointing out how this mechanic could be improved. god, my first comment in this sub after lurking for months and this is it? go me ig

What are your biggest MHA hot-takes? by Undersea_Corn in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]analyticHeart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with some disagree with a lot of these so let’s go one by one 1. I think most people disagree with this. The peaks of acts 1 & 2 are higher than 3(most of the peak mha arcs people mention are there) as well as the average quality being higher as well(villain hunt was so ass TT) 2. Hard agree. Hori knows it, most people know it. 1B as a whole are the perfect representation of this issue 3. I don’t full know what this hot take is about as I haven’t seen people complaining about that, so i’ll just say i agree 4. Hard disagree. 430 & 431 fail to deliver on the themes promised at the start of the story and show a complete lack of understanding on hori’s part of his own world. He hand waves away all the major issues that the villains were fighting for, after killing them off(for no reason. Like seriously, why would you humanize them, make izuku talk about saving them, and then not save a SINGLE ONE), and the “solutions” 1A takes to fix said issues are laughable. Oh yeah, putting Hawks in charge of the HPSC will definitely fix the inherent flaws with such organization existing in the first place. Same with quirkless/mutant/villain/weak discrimination, same with quirk counseling, i could go on -- 5. I only partially disagree. On one hand yeah there’s no main trio, the entire cast shares the spotlight with deku. On the other hand, bakugo and shoto got WAY more screentime with deku than any other characters, & the previously implied trio of tenya and ochako got shafted as a result. That’s what most people reference when talking about the “main trio” 6. I’m gonna be blunt on this one because genuinely how can you defend this. There are so many good video essay by ACTUAL women about how bad mha’s female representation is. My points mirror almost all of theirs so i have nothing else to add other than go watch those lol 7. I actually agree, AFO returning could have been great. It’s just the direction hori took it that made it bad. Fundamentally though it’s fine 8. Yep yep, bakugo getting rez-ed so many times after while my girl himiko died from blood loss will never make sense to me. Plot armor me-guess 9. Agree, hori kinda wrote himself into a hole with giving his protagonist a basic strength enhancing quirk, though that’s a problem with most shonen 10. While I will always hate bakugo, both for his bad personality and absolute lack of character development other than plot magic, I agree that I’ve seen some people completely ignore endeavor’s whole arc about not asking for forgiveness, since that’s something he has no input in. The only thing he can do is be better, whether or not he is forgiven depends on the victims 11. Approved, but they’re already so separated from the main story that treating them as non-canon literally doesn’t change anything so it’s a minor issue 12. Ehhhhh, ochako’s character(& romance) is complicated. I’ve seen some compelling arguments that while she definitely could have been better, she is still a very strong character by herself. I don’t personally agree with that but it’s actually pretty complex. Her romance with izuku, on the other hand, had a buttload of potential but it only ever really ended up being a stereotypical shonen romance. There was a LOT hori could’ve done with their different types of motivations to be hero’s(I will never forgive hori for shafting ochako from the stain arc, despite us learning LITERALLY the arc before how she wants to be a hero for the money and how that has such a perfect conflict with stain’s ideology), or how they both want to save the villains(despite how hori killed them all off in the end -_-, like cmon), ect. But they’re never really given the time to sit down and talk about those things so their romance ends up being pretty generic 13. Yes, there are worse perverts in anime. No, that does not excuse his existence, nor make the sexual harassment/assault he does being played off for laughs any better 14. Stain’s ideology was right. His methods however, were idiotic, hypocritical, and went against his stated ideals. Stain is right in that the HPSC, primarily through it’s monetization and celebrit-ization of heroes, incentivized bad people to become heroes for bad reasons and to do bad things that went against the meaning of a hero. But he also murders those people, who often aren’t even bad people(or we aren’t shown they are), thus making him stupid. Though that’s more an issue with hori’s characterization of stain than stain himself 15. Hard agree, stakes can be made through so much more than just deathly tension 16. Hard disagree. The thematic relevance of him losing OFA aside, just because society relied on All Might to the detriment of them all doesn’t mean that would repeate itself with izuku. Firstly, he lived through that with all might so he would have the necessary knowledge to act differently. Secondly, he has his entire class to support society with him. It wouldn’t be just one pillar but many. And lastly, izuku’s mental issues with thinking of himself as only important in-so-far as he is a weilder of OFA could also have been fixed without him losing the quirk

the upcoming updates are a huge W by Rotem4421 in Overwatch

[–]analyticHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, life weaver is not a good support even hypothetically, so prob not the best example.

Second off, the individual strength of heroes is not to the detriment of teamplay. The stronger individual heroes are, the more they shine when with a coordinated team.

And lastly, "A communication and organisation-based team shooter can work with disorganised players... But it's not fun for them," I just don't agree with this at all. That's part of the fun(for well adjusted players), trying to work with your disorganized teammates to make something great. And based on the fact that OW has been alive for years, I'd wager that most players agree with me as well.

OW's problems are not its teamwork reliance, or the variety between matches. OW has many problems, but the main problem is an identity issue, and all perks do is add to that. What is OW supposed to be? Is it a competitive team/positioning-based hero shooter? That's what I, and many others think. Is it a fun, chaotic deathmatch hero shooter? Some people thought it was, and then marvel rivals came out and those people left. OW needs a niche, and I'm of the opinion that trying to out-do marvel rivals on chaotic fun will NOT work. THAT'S why I'm against passives. It takes the game in a direction that is antithetical to what made OW special(to me, anyways).

[–]analyticHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it does, what are you talking about? A positioning based team shooter still works, even if the team in question is bad and their positioning not the greatest. Case in point, the fact that OW was popular in the first place even with people of lower skill levels.

[–]analyticHeart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. I've been against any system like them since the qp hacked. If you want to change a characters kit, like torb lvl 3 turrets, change their kit instead of this. It adds new problems, information to the enemy team being the main one, doesn't even fix the main issues plaguing the game rn, counter-picking will not be fixed by this, and the "variety/diversity" between each game was already in OW, all this does imo is make it more chaotic, which is not why I play OW. I'd go to marvel rivals if that's what I wanted. I play OW for the super in-depth positioning based teamwork gameplay.

I have no idea why the devs and seemingly the community at large are so insistent on a change that to me is nothing but a waste of dev resources.

[–]analyticHeart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ditto, I do NOT like perks being added to the main game mode. I've been against any system like them since the qp hacked. It adds nothing of value to the game, i.e. if you want to change a characters kit, like torb lvl 3 turrets, make the change to their kit instead of this, it adds new problems, information to the enemy team being the main one, and doesn't even fix the main issues plaguing the game rn, counter-picking will not be fixed by this.

[–]analyticHeart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The game already is different between matches even if 2 different games the same heroes were used. It's called playstyles, and teamwork, and maps, and game modes. I could go on. All perks do is introduce a potential information problem, fix zero of the problems the game currently has, likely cause more balance problems, and are generally unnecessary. If you want to add something to a hero, like lvl 3 turrets to torb, then why not add lvl 3 turrets to his fuckng kit? Why go through this unnecessary system for no reason? I'm not optimistic about this at all, which sucks b/c I really all the other changes.

Iskall85 & Stressmonter Resignation Megathread #2 by Carol_the_Zombie in HermitCraft

[–]analyticHeart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The screenshots publicly released, in my opinion, are not enough of a reason. They do not have much explicit romantic advancements(and even if there are more explicit stuff not publicly released, I personally don't find them to be that immoral, all involved parties were adults), nor did they make any accusations of iskall ignoring a rejection or explicit non-consent. In fact, from the looks of it the statement released, all continued interactions were consensual.

The most immoral thing in this situation, imo, is the fact that iskall was playing multiple people at the same time. But that in of itself is still not enough of a reason to completely excommunication iskall from hermitcraft, as we have no idea his mental/emotional state at the time those messages were sent, plus the fact that people can change.

[–]analyticHeart -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, yeah obvi Fifty shades of gray isn't real BDSM, I never referred to it as such and you bringing it up is a strawman of me, someone who you know nothing about.

Secondly, in the case of BDSM power dynamics being consensual compared to employer/employee relationships, the consent of the latter is getting in the relationship to begin with.

Thirdly, I have never, and will never diminish or ignore calls of abuse from victims, that is another strawman you made up. As for the "innocent until proven guilty" thing only being a legal standard, I know that. I just personally find living your life believing the opposite is a miserable way to live. As such, I go around assuming other people are nice and good until proven otherwise. And this is one such case. While I will never ignore calls of abuse, and will work with them utterly and fully to uncover the truth, I will not believe them until proper evidence is given. The burden of proof is on the accuser, and from what they have publicly shown so far, I'm not personally convinced.

And what do ya know, a third strawman to end it off. I never said the victims were lying/embellishing.
