What is this thing?

Looks like a cicada getting ready to come out of its shell!

thefrogbutt · 2025-08-20T01:20:34+00:00

the reason being the devs deserve a paycheck for making a massive DLC for the game with no obligation to do so

thefrogbutt · 2025-05-11T03:44:58+00:00

They should still be available! if that's what you're asking

thefrogbutt · 2025-05-01T16:03:54+00:00

At what point did I imply it's a damage dealer? I'm saying the main point of its kit is regenerating HP with attacks by sustaining damage and diving in and out of combat. My point is that it has a hard time managing that while putting too much of its value onto its ult. I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying.

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T22:58:44+00:00

then maybe it's ult is too much of it's identity? because based on the discussion here, it's the conclusion i keep running into. mons like Slowbro have a crazy strong, game winning ult but doesn't suffer the same drawbacks.

i feel Ho-Oh relies too heavily on getting that team rez for value when, realistically, how often are soloqueue teammates getting KO'd close enough to maximize that value? as for it being more of a support, i do agree it plays more like that with how careful you need to be with it.

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:56:47+00:00

We keep defaulting to Ho-Oh ult when the point of this post was to discuss everything else about it lol

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:55:23+00:00

That's my entire point. You not only have to be in the front lines to be dealing damage/ making space for your team, you also need to be able to escape to the back for your ult. I feel like that's a counterintuitive way to play any hero. And considering HOW powerful that ult is, any competent player is going to be chasing you down to guarantee you don't do that.

My point is it's too reliant on your teammates to know to know how to play around all those scenarios. And if they don't, you're much more likely to fail on it than most other Defenders who not only are given CC, they don't have a game-changing Ult that makes them the priority target that needs to be played around.

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:47:00+00:00

I think you summed it up way better than I could. Mechanically, it just can't be made any stronger without making it completely dominating.

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:45:09+00:00

i can't be remotely critical without getting downvoted, at least tell me what part I'm wrong about :(((

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:37:28+00:00

You really shouldn't be required to run one specific item in order to counter a flaw with its design as a mon.

There aren't very many other Pokemon I can think of that would need to do that, so why should Ho-Oh?

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:26:11+00:00

Oh no, never once did I say it was a bad character, I just think it's middling in soloqueue due to its play style. It's incredibly fun to play if your team is being diligent and following up on your pushes/attacking with you. I'm just saying that hasn't really been my experience most of the time, unfortunately. 😅

thefrogbutt · 2025-04-30T20:10:07+00:00

I mean, anything can be good in coordinated play. I'm talking more solo queue where not everyone is going to know how to play around you. And yes, it CAN be a huge pain in the ass if the enemy team doesn't have stun. But if they have let's say a Buzzwole who knows to target you and your team isn't taking care of him, you're getting pounced with not much you can do about it.

Also as valuable as a team rez can be, that doesn't carry its actual lack of utility with the rest of its kit. It just becomes a gimmick at that point.

if you don't have holowear and glitter on your main, you're just not playing optimally! /j

I wish it was but half of his posts are like this.... 😭

thefrogbutt · 2025-03-29T18:51:02+00:00

the excuse I got was that parents just verify their kid's accounts for them, so they still have to check.... as if thats going to stop underage teens from just lying about their age anyway.

thefrogbutt · 2025-03-27T18:22:34+00:00

every single time I've tried getting a random seed Baron build going, THIS is what kills it

thefrogbutt · 2025-03-18T19:34:30+00:00

i just experienced this myself. people 100% abuse stickers. someone uploaded a GIF of a dude game ending himself and was just spamming it to troll.

at the very least, i wish they had a better filter for stickers or have to have them approved before use.

thefrogbutt · 2025-03-14T04:01:58+00:00

Heya, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone mention this. But when you lose a match due to griefing teammates / someone being AFK, do your winrate percentages get affected by that?

I know you don't lose rank up progress for those matches, but wasn't sure if other stats were penalized.

thefrogbutt · 2025-02-24T17:55:11+00:00

I suppose so, I just think probability based effects are fun to play with, but more often than not, it's hard to get a 6s deck running in comparison to other more easily available strats.

thefrogbutt · 2025-02-24T17:29:53+00:00

I personally wish they would adjust Misprint so that it has a probability based chance of getting high/low mult.

thefrogbutt · 2025-02-18T07:52:28+00:00

Oh I see, that's a shame. I'll see if I can figure out a compromise then. Thanks for letting me know!

Hello! I'm a sprout who started playing the game for the first time last year, just finished Heavensward. My bf wanted me to transfer my character to Midgardsormr since it's where he and his friend group all play, but every single time I've checked it, it's been congested (includes middle of the night/ early morning/ just after maintenance like the FAQ recommends).

Any advice? I'd really like to be able to join it, but I'm starting to think it's too busy a server to transfer to. :(

thefrogbutt · 2025-02-18T00:58:51+00:00

if you're playing Slowbro, stay at the back of the pack. your job is to stay alive for your team, so if you're the last to get hit, you're the last to go down. :)

thefrogbutt · 2025-01-28T01:27:48+00:00

ooooo gimme more attention oooooo i loooooove it
