we got #rekt last night
2 supports is 2 many unless you have 1 tank and 2 ranged assassins or something. the extra survivability is nice but theres no deeps - a lot of the time im in ghost wolf trying not to die + mana regen so I can keep chain casting heal
it also might have been the retarded team comps we fought. not even sure how you’d take on that tank team. pure dps? pure CC? I’m not sure
that siege team was also bad news bears
yeah those teams were pretty funny
patch notes for today are up, raynor looks like he got buffed a lot but well see. Miller should be happy lol
They halved the damage on Stitches ult…
He is still the best hero in the game.
I’m kind of disappointed that the vikings all share a skillset. They are going to be a lot easier to play than I thought they were, not having to worry about individual skills and cooldowns.
I’ll be hosting games tomorrow guys.
I just noticed that zeratul and nova got rewind… thats going to be some absurd damage.
zeratul can just open with auto attack, cleave, auto attack reset… double bomb, rewind cleave, double bomb… if any hero can survive that gg.
2 cleaves with 50% more damage over time, 4 singularity spikes. RIP.
Back to my boy zeratul~
So many Anub’arak nerfs :(… Actually I’m excited to try out the Crypt Weave buff. Taking a hero out of the game for 8 seconds now seems huge for team fights, especially after interuppting an ult with it.
Deep down…you know the real reason.
fucking greninja got nerfed AGAIN omfg nintendo every time anyone figures out any kind of advanced technique nintendo swoops in and removes that shit. WHAT THE FUCK. its like if youre not doing day 1 hour 1 shit then nintendo says youre playing the game wrong. youd think the ability to patch and do balance updates would be a good thing but instead they just fucking nerf anything that ppl come up with FFFUUCADSCaklev’awevnweaKVnew FUCKTHISGAME. greninja is still one of the most technical chars in the game but nintendo doesnt seem to like that shit.
sorry i just had to fkn raaaggeeee…
ayyyy nintendo logic
like wtf is the point of me practicing anything in this game (that actually would require practice) when nintendo will just take it out in a month or two.
brb going back to playing melee forever.
There was a balance patch? Where’d you see this? I can’t find anything about it (even on Greninja forums).
this is the technique that got removed btw. ur not supposed to be able to shadow sneak while running, but if you time it perfectly on like the 5th frame of ur run or something he keeps running.

he still has ATs like infinite shadow sneak (which im sure will get taken out) and aMSa has come up with a lot of cool tech with him thats quite difficult to do but yeah, nintendo.
What a strange company. I guess the designers take bugs as a personal front towards them?
pretty sure we just didn’t have enough deeps
we’d get them close and then we would run out of heal cooldowns and die
im tryin to stay away and not get hit by the 10(yes, 10) stuns they had. even if I was trying to attack they are all huge bodies and bodyblock me anyways
greninja is the only thing that makes this game fun for me. but hes the most heavily nerfed character in the game. then they were like “ok no more balance changes. but heres another greninja nerf.” the future doesnt look bright
the only thing saving this game for me is the japanese players. if you want to watch actual high-level smash 4 (omgitexistsiknorite?) you should check out shi-g gaming on youtube. all those matches are amazing.
even at apex nietono / choc / amsa were playing sheik / ZSS / greninja which are all highly techincal offensive chars. they ended up getting double-diddyed in teams and aMSa lost to bs little mac and duck hunt camping.
also since posting vine clips i found out theres a ton of amazing japanese smash accounts on vine. some of the shit they come up with is incredible. heres a random clip that involves footsool combos and u-air spikes (i cant do this in training mode for the life of me):
https://vine.co/v/OppMxOPjUYt/embed
most of these players play in the shi-g tourneys too. its like japanese players always try to open up the game and discover as much tech as possible, where NA players just try to find the easiest option to win with (pick diddy and down throw, pick a projectile character and camp, pick sonic and spam side B, pick little mac and mash A.)
Yeah Greninja is fun, I was practicing as him yesterday
he’s got a cool playstyle
Ike and Shulk are fun too. Getting better with shulk =)
Our problem wasn’t dps, we just had no way to peel (i was the only one with a stun, or cc even other than poopy rehgar totem), and our team just had no synergy… so they stomped all over us lol
Need those wombo combos, peels and overall cc abilities

You know who has those things? I haz those things.
lol the comments section has a lot of people upset with the Anub’arak stuff. He was already considered an underpowered and underplayed character. Why all the nerfs?
I guess they’re not that big of a deal. They really just made his no-brainer talents less of no-brainers. But this patch reminds me of Blazblue type throwing darts balance. I can’t tell if Tychus was nerfed or buffed…
sucks that nintendo is taking that attitude with their patches… kind of shows what WOULD have happened to melee if they could have patched it (they would have probably fixed the 5% of things that needed fixing, as well as 95% of things that didn’t)
it also doesn’t speak particularly well for the future of other “competitive” games that nintendo is making, like splatoon, which has a neat concept but will no doubt be hindered by nintendo-isms everywhere (it will already be the first cooperative FPS-like game without voice chat in 20 years)… i’m positive they’ll keep changing what characters can do as people find high-level strategies that they don’t like for whatever reason
it’s why i don’t have high hopes for the future of nintendo in any way except some of their single player games (and even then…). their philosophy is made up and if you like some of their games, you HAVE to subscribe to that philosophy or else be constantly frustrated.
