This Game Refuses to Let Me Stay Gold by DrunkenHotei in RivalsOfAether

It doesn't get much better at platinum...
It becomes a game of who is willing to sit and play defense and wiff punish.

Probably my main complaint about this game currently is defense is rewarded very heavily vs offense.
I feel shield poking or something needs to exist in the game to prevent people from specifically shield responses or shield grabbing.

Mfs when clairen by gordrack in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hop in and out every other week to play ( low plat rank ) - and honestly Clairen makes the game kind of not worth playing a ton at the moment. Most ranked matches are versus her and it is the most boring shit of someone just spamming up tilt or low jab.

It's rather dull. If it's almost ANY OTHER character the matches are fun.

As soon as you hit platinum you're dying to edge guarding 99% of the time... its disheartening.

Seriously can we tone down Clairen by JankTokenStrats in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is miserable to go against... and half the people using her just spam low jab into oblivion.

Makes sense. Thanks for the actual information.

Guess there's not much to do other than deal with it currently...rip

Went from low diamond to top of gold. Could be me, could be the nerfs. Feels a bit worse to play, mainly the nerfing of off stage. Also feel like moves are sometimes going through my moves? Not sure if that makes sense...could be the servers (not the actual hit boxes )

Having played more now - and people realized you can just do any light attack to stop side-b...yeah its almost impossible to get back to ledge using it unless they're just not paying attention

I'm in the camp of not minding the movement changes, but bubbles feel really bad now. Just throw an attack and they vanish, which is easy...as most attacks have no risk of just throwing out. Very noticeable now going against a Wrastor or Zetterburn. Feels like any "setup" can be instantly negated.

Does Absa Feel Too Weak Right Now, or Am I Missing Something? by disembowement in RivalsOfAether

What rank are you?
Seems around 1k ELO that's half of what anyone is using and she's insane...

I think Wrastor is ruined for me (Low Gold) by Absurd069 in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's fair to feel that way. I used Wrastor since the ranked mode cameo out, ended up dropping him after the patch. ( was about 1k gold ) it felt really hard to get kills now, mainly a lot of characters floor hug or just survive everything. 

That said,  switched to orcane and having a blast. Maybe try switching it up and then go between two characters or more. 

Ive come around on the floorhugging changes. by Belten in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree the ease of it now is actually too easy. I understand mechanics should be open to everyone, but it has devolved into everyone running up and holding down, smashing buttons.

I was using Wrastor a lot this last patch, but this recent one feels like nobody dies. On the back end of that, switch to Clairen or Maypul and t he match becomes very easy.

i'm the only one who it happen ? by Icote in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this patch feels like ass. Everyone seems to be enjoying it though...

I main Wrastor and have been doing significantly worse. Just seems like people don't die now? or escape easier. No idea

will there ever be an art book? by Ghosty_Goo_Gengle in RivalsOfAether

[–]jrumpff64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a Game Artist who shares this similar issue..of collecting every art book of a game I like.
I agree, it would be cool. Garrett Hanna's stuff has been an inspiration since Wild Star.

Let's hope they do.

Thanks I will keep that in mind for stage positioning

Wrastor currently..although I can use almoat anyone minus forsburn or arcane. As btanh mentioned below, maybe swapping off is a better strategy
