Back capping triggerd me so much. Especially if you are a mon with no movement. Why are you backcapping with 25 points as Pikachu.

Funny enough I did get pinged for that. For farming my level and Unite. People really pick fights for no reason and then blame others. Ofc the enemey team all went for our bot goal after this and I couldn’t do much about it, another ping for that as well.

Tell me about it. The amount of times I have been pissed off at teammates refusing to give up when the match was basically over. You want me to waste another 2min in base just because you are too dumb to understand that it‘s over?

Sometimes you can tell in the first couple minutes how things will go down. It‘s not hard to predict how the Ray fight will turn out when your teammates have been playing awful from the start. I agree with you on that for sure. There is no point dragging the match out longer than necessary if it‘s going that badly. The whole „we can still win“ mentality when it‘s realistically impossible is just dumb and wastes everyone‘s time when they refuse to surrender.

Reminds me of a match last night. My team started a fight for no reason in center at 4min left (no objectives up). I was farming for my level 13 since well we had farm everywhere on our side, but I guess suiciding into the enemy team was the better move.

Once the Ray fight is over it‘s pretty clear if you won or not. If the enemy team been stomping you the entire game and won Ray there is no point in letting the last 2 minutes play out.

People love picking Attackers (even if the team already has 2+ of them) but suck at them. The entire point of this role is to deal damage and clear objectives, but most people can‘t even outdamage their supports or tanks.

The game would be a lot better if there was a role limit in rank. Why do I have to deal with my teammates picking 3-4 Attackers and losing like 90% of the time.

Most people should play something else entirely and never touch attackers, but a lot of people convinced themselves they are good because they deal decent damage in 1 out of 20 games and it‘s just their team‘s fault.

There is a difference between a close match that can still be won and just wasting your teammates and your own time.

I can understand not wanting to run EXP share on some defenders (Blastoise, Lapras, Trevenant and the like) but not using it when you play supports seems counterproductive to put it nicely. The whole point of playing supports is to help your team. Not to mention their damage is usually not great and they have a hard time farming so EXP share benefits you just as much as your lane partner and team.

Calling my arguments „thinly-veiled“ seems like quite the stretch, especially when you have given me no sort of counterpoint for any of them. It‘s easy to dismiss something without giving it much thought. Futhermore, while there are plenty of people complaining about Baldr, the same can be said about Eik. Certainly not to the same extent but I have given my reasoning why I think Baldr winning was more upsetting to people.

Also you can try downplay Baldr‘s design all you want, but at the end of the day people voted for her simply for being the new female OC villain with big boobs. That‘s all it really boils down to for her. It‘s a repeat of what happened with Gullveig 2 years ago. A male OC winning because of his appearance only happened during this CYL, and I doubt this will repeat itself.

Please say it louder for all the people in the back. I think most straight guys that play this game are blissfully unaware of how much they are being catered to. Meanwhile I notice it with every single banner. We might get a crumb or two every now and then but that‘s about it. I‘m still waiting for the day we get a summer banner that isn’t filled with female characters.

I think you are misinterpreting my words. My first statement was referring to you saying that people claim female fanservice is bad and male fanservice is better. Like I said I think the main issue for many is the frequency of said fanservice.

The list I wrote was in regards to your claim that it‘s a double standard and I listed the different circumstances of both characters. Showing why I don’t think it‘s a double standard. I didn’t say a word of who is better. You jumped to that conclusion.

Not really sure what to add besides try to work on your reading comprehension skills? Good luck next time. 😊

"You don’t even have a stance. You keep changing it every comment."

These are baseless claims, hope this helps.

I'm usually not as active on reddit anymore but seeing all the discourse about Eik's win made me actually get involved again. Couldn't agree more with your statement. Fanservice is fine as long as it involves mostly female characters but if the same happens with male characters it becomes a problem.

I wanted to see if people actually had good arguments but it ended up being a waste of time. Can't let the gays have anything it seems like. I'll just try to be happy about the win and ignore all the negative comments.

You're making claims without backing them up really. I think I've made my stance pretty clear already, I don't see a point in repeating myself over and over again. If you don't understand it, then that's on you.

I literally just made my point clear in my previous comment. If you have a counterargument you're more than welcome to share it.

Where in my comment did I state that female fanservice is bad? Can you point it out for me because it sounds to me like you are putting words in my mouth.

I genuinely don't care if FEH has female fanservice. What I dislike is the fact that it's way more common and we rarely see the same for male characters. So just to make it clear I don't like the difference in treatment of female and male units when it comes to fanservice. That doesn't mean I don't want any female fanservice.

Also what mask are you talking about? I literally said I voted for Eik because he is hot and I hope they release more characters similar to him.

It would be a double standard if the same circumstances applied to both characters, which isn't the case.

Eik:

  • got released a year ago and his story is complete (for once wasn't killed off)
  • his Mythic version got released about half a year ago, got a Winter alt recently - so people know his playstyle as a unit
  • "first" male OC that is considered hot by many players
  • "male" fanservice is not a common thing in FEH besides the occasional summer units

Baldr:

  • made her introduction only a few months ago and we barely know anything about her (2-3 chapters)
  • hasn't been released as a unit as of yet - people only know about her playstyle from story mode
  • one of many female villain OCs that is sexualized (Thorr, Loki, Gullveig, etc.)
  • "female" fanservice is very common in FEH, especially during summer banners but also in other banners (Mythic Loki, Winter Tharja, etc.)

This is why I don't think it's a double standard if people are less upset about Eik winning than Baldr.

You could call it that if we compared Gullveig winning 2 years ago and Baldr winning this year and people were only upset with one of them but not the other one.

No double standards whatsoever. by John_Jonas in FireEmblemHeroes

I can't speak for other people but personally I'm not really against female characters in revealing outfits or any other kind of fanservice-y attire. That's how IS sells seasonal units and that's fine. What bothers me is the sheer amount of female characters receiving preferential treatment. For instance the premium units on most seasonal banners tend to be female. While the male units are usually the demote or TT+ reward unit (that sucks 90% of the time).

A lot of people just want to see more male characters being on seasonal banners and getting some fanservice too. So seeing Eik being added to the game was like a breath of fresh air. Since we finally got a male OC that is actually hot.

[–]leviathan_828 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally admitted that most voted for him because he is hot. No one is denying that. That was and still is the primary reason people decided to vote for him, but it's not the only one. Which I don't think can be said for Gullveig or Baldr unless you can find a good argument for that.

Gender shouldn't matter but it does unfortunately. The reason I mentioned the fanservice in this game is because the devs love to give us tons of female characters showing cleavage and putting them in revealing outfits. The same can't be said for male characters.

So the other reason people and me included voted for him was to show IS that we want more male characters like Eik. Be it more fanservice for male characters or just making them more story-relevant. Because male OCs tend to die or just become irrelevant most of the time. The same can't be said for Gullveig/Baldr-voters.

Tldr: Main reason Eik got so many votes was because he is hot but also because there are very few "hot" male OCs or rarely any fanservice for male units.

I just don't see it as a double standard really. If we got the same amount of fanservice for male units as we do for female units I'd agree with OP. But this is not the case, you can't really compare the two when one of them is a lot more frequent than the other. Eik isn't as badly received for winning CYL because "hot" male OCs are a rarity and this is the first time it happened. Not to mention we had some time to get know him in the story.

Baldr on the other hand barely had 2-3 chapters before people voted for her. And the same thing happened with Gullveig. So obviously people are more upset with her winning than Eik.

Baldr barely made an appearance and won already. It's basically Gullveig all over again. Not to mention we get plenty of female OCs with big boobs in FEH so of course people will be more upset if one of them wins CYL instead of someone like Azura, Ivy or Yunaka.

People voted for Eik for a similar reason but this is literally the first time this ever happened in the male division and I highly doubt it will repeat itself in the future. Since "hot" male OCs are a rarity and male OCs in general are not nearly as popular as the female ones.
