i mean that in the least dickish way possible. I've been here for long enough to see more colt tagged threads than I can care to remember and as far as i know he has never made a change that was suggested in a thread he was tagged in. Like, literally never. Hes going o do what he wants with the game and change how he sees fit, regardless of whatever we do or say. Just an fyi
Then it doesn't matter if I tag him does it?
Well the only explicit information we have is his specifically asking not to be tagged. Unless you're okay with not honoring his singular request I guess it doesn't matter but that's up to you.
Alright, I didn't know he asked that. In that case, I apologize. I'll remove his tag at the bottom of the thread. I can't edit the title, so if a mod wants to they can delete this thread and I can re-post it without the Paulo tag in the title.
If you think this will equally nerf QC as it will buff him, then you do not have enough understanding of the game to be making this thread. If you think AList and DF need a nerf before these him, that even worse. Cmon son. AList is fine and DF is pretty close
Only person who said anything about it being because he's not an established player was you and him, habibi. I even said it doesn't matter who this shit comes from
Well I really don't know what it would do to Summoner, all I know is 2 things, that Summoner Quan should be nerfed and that block breakers should be 1 bar for the all the reasons I listed in the OP. A List and DF are top tier pressure characters, they need a nerf as all top tier pressure characters do, and most pressure characters are top tier. The reason they need to be nerfed instead of the lower tiers being buffed is because their gameplay style is too easy and boring for how ridiculously strong it is. And the way they should be nerfed is with 1 bar block breakers. It would not nerf them much because they also get cheaper block breakers as a tool to be used. It would mainly change them to make their strengths be forcing the opponent to conserve their meter rather than putting them in a boring unfavorable guessing game or in boring block string loops.
I do not think that. Summoner should be nerfed far more than A List or DF. But DF and A List also should be nerfed because they are top tier pressure characters and block pressure is far too good for how brain dead and reliant on luck that it is. I've also made it overwhelmingly clear that I welcome criticism, not shun it.
I disagree strongly agains't A-List deserving a nerf. I appreciate you at least voicing your opinion without attacking others.
I edited the OP apologizing to Paulo for tagging him because I didn't know he asked not to be tagged. Can you guys please stop mentioning it now? It's not nearly relevant enough to warrant derailing this arguably very important topic.
If you think that, that's fine. I don't really think he needs to be nerfed much at all either, but block breakers wouldn't nerf him much at all. If he's A+ tier now, he would go down to A tier. If he's A tier now, he'd go down to A- tier. And even if 1 bar block breakers did excessively nerf him, that would just mean he would need buffs to compensate.
How? Block breakers being a bar would nerf pressure characters like Lao more than it would anyone else.
That was explained in my first post, at high level of play Lao is a pressure killing machine which will eventually push you to the corner and then you have to... well block all day long. Watch or play Foxy Lao and you will understand. 1 bar breakers in current state of the game would just make it completely broke.
I replied to your post, but I still don't get it though. Lao gains meter by attacking you while you're blocking, but with cheaper block breakers you don't have to block his attacks. Just break once he gets on you. That nullifies his chip and meter gain while recreating a neutral situation. (Edit*) If what you're saying is true though, then a solution as I see it would be to decrease the amount of meter gained on block. Currently it's 6% of a bar for every blocked attack, so they could decrease this to 2-3%.
So since lao gains meter like crazy and it only costs a bar to block break, he will not only have relentless offense, but because of his meter build he can break literally whenever you touch him on hit or block.
