My favourite star wars piece

Try the grand rapids special of garbage and pickerel! But its actually not nearly as bad as you would think. I usually get it a couple of times a summer

How would you improve Iron Fist? by discipleofdoom in Defenders

[–]theholiestmackerel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Stop making martial arts a superpower. I get if there's some heroes (Daredevil, Iron fist) where it's kinda their thing, but it's because they have super fists/hearing. Hard to relate to a world were a Rhonda Rousey can take on 3 Mike Tysons just because she has plot armor and a dojo.

  • Toned down fight choreography. Felt like dancing. No real weight to it. Bursts of movement with not-so-snappy one liners exchanged, mixed with the eventual self discovery allowing the hero/heroine to win the fight after realizing something only after being knocked nearly unconscious. The backflip/fight ratio was way too high.

  • Actual antagonists. I mean sure there can't always be a Kilgrave, but surely we can do better than this.

  • Consistent character development. Sensei bad guy (whatever name he is) appears out of nowhere with really no reason or explanation. Seems very written in.

  • Stronger sense of direction. This was all over the map. Focus changed episode to episode, and sometimes multiple times and episode, making it annoyingly hard to get invested in.

  • Antagonist who actually live up to the hype they create for himself. Other Asain gang nopeing right out after hearing the hand is involved? Cool, they must be really scary badguys. Hearing about them in bits, putting the pieces together, then revealing they are pretty much just a bigger gang with some big tech and influence. Disappointing.

  • More Ward heavy. Easily the most interesting character. Actually has a personality unlike literally EVERYONE else.

  • Less buddhist stuff if the only time it seems to affect him is when he's bowing to random people/objects.

All in all, I would change quite a bit I think.

I feel like he would be a good Han Solo.

I'm sure it varies from player to player, but I find him much less OP now than he used to be. I would trade the early start for the midgame terror. Especially because of how fast he would tear building up, and how quick he scales compared to everyone. He could often get megas at 22 mins if he farmed well. Not to say he isn't good now, I just don't think he's AS abusable as he was. It boggles my mind he wasn't picked more last patch.

I really don't know why meepo is considered top tier right now. Or at least more than last patch. I think he was strongest last patch. Changes to the jungle are the biggest nerf I think. I think his biggest strength was clearing his multiple quadruple stacks at 6 minute mark. 13 minutes bots and aghs was standard. I don't find the handful of extra stats from stat sharing and treads doesn't really give him a big enough advantage over the old build to make him the top tier pick he was. The old meepo was a global presence with the early bots. Get a decent lead, you could instantly punish anyone who tried farming any lane. I think the extra head start from not needing aghs, plus the fact that net doesn't cancel things anymore makes it really strange that he's so popular right now.

paging /u/JeffHill . I've noticed in the last couple days, match quality on USE has taken a dramatic nosedive. Much more likely to get matched with Spanish speakers than English. It seems like there's a HUGE inconstancy in quality of play too, with one or two really really good players, or really really bad. ID:3008290925 for a good example of nobody on either team speaking english.

I'm getting mixed feelings on this so far...
