Remember stop the salt people?

Remember this comment?

Remember Tridon = Not Meta?

No? Well here it is again. :)

[–]SJ_Gemini 192 points 10 days ago I'm salty and I'll tell you why; when I see shit like this: tridon IS game-breakingly strong, with dual tridon you can beat maxwell without items (or even on auto battle) credits to /u/cheeseman14 Tridon is not meta. He doesn't break the game the same way Lilly did to Maxwell on her release. He sure as hell isn't going to be meta for Raids either. The meta is either Maxwell or BC+Mitigation. Nobody cares about flat boosting LS outside of Arena. Before Zebra+BC Gen meta, people actually used to use a slew of different squad compositions that ranged from mono to rainbow to sparks and occasionally critical before Michele's 6* tier. Now everything is cookie cutter with Lilly+Mitigation or just mitigation or Maxwell. So fun. How is it in that the 6 months that Maxwell has been out on the Japan server that Alim has not been able to either invent a new mechanic or LS or unit that can be used as a worthy unit as opposed to Maxwell in everything that is questing and FH? I don't envy JP end game players because I know what squads they've been using for the last six months and holy shit global players were bored after 2 months of Maxwell so I wonder how those people feel. They probably just use the 7* starters just to fuck around because their LS are less than impressive, and I don't see a comeback for mono squads but hey this can change right? Every single batch of RS units that Japan releases is a "cash grab" no different from Global's release. Do you think that you'll need any of the units from Rosetta's batch? They are just units that are slightly stronger than before with a few new mechanics added in that in no way are relevant to the meta. Emeldria's Self HP buff Damage Reflect LS on Vanbelk Everything else already exists in just less potent forms. New Mechanics since Zelnite's Batch: Additive ATK down debuff which is garbage against high BBm AOEs, shit proc rate "Cash back" reduced usage which is worse than just the regular flat reduction i.e. Phee, Zellha Damage Reflect (haha) So why is it that in five batches of units since Zelnite's Batch that Alim hasn't been able to develop a single good mechanic that doesn't rely on RNG? Rosetta's entire batch have LSs that aren't going to be used over Maxwell or BC generation and conversion isn't a new buff that was invented in the Dragonslayer's batch either. This mechanic has been around from Bahvel the farmable unit which was reintroduced and added to RS units in the Dragonslayer's batch, but ultimately doesn't do anything regarding the meta game other than add a bit of extra damage. It just seems to me that since the Zelnite's batch that all the units that Alim's developed thus far have literally been cash grabs that slowly accentuate the power creep of units from before without actually trying to create new variants around the current meta game that is Maxwell-centric. So why is it that when Gumi actually invents something that is different and new to the game that you people give it flak? Taunt can be surprisingly useful if used in conjunction with mitigation and the new shield buff can be used effectively as well. Being OP or not OP isn't the question at hand when Alim develops Maxwell and does nothing in the last six months to change the meta and not only that but buffs the unit's DC to 66 as if she wasn't already good enough. All of you fanboys of Alim have been constantly arguing about there being more content for you to tackle, but as an end game player the fact that even if Gumi were to release all the content that Japan has right now and ship it over to Global I would beat the entirety of it within a few hours, and so would many end game players, makes it unexciting. Stop living in the facade of thinking that this constant release of content that is no different from the variations of content that already exist is supposedly "fun". If anything I enjoyed doing Trial of the Gods that Gumi released from 1-6 more than the Maxwell Trial because it brought new mechanics that have never been seen before in the game. It also prompted usage of the most overlooked buff in the game DEF ignore and many people appreciated these series of dungeons as a fun and puzzling challenge that was different from the mindless Maxwell spamming. If you're a high level P2P player that's already hit end game then it's pretty easy to realize that this new content impending is going to be the same thing unless they create ways to dampen the effect that Maxwell has right now on the meta. When Trial 4 comes out I won't rejoice because I'll beat Cardes in less than 5 turns because my trusty waifu Maxwell exists. Thank you Alim for based balancing. Perhaps with Trial 5 and incoming GQ (Grah's) things to come will be more exciting because God forbid if Alim implemented some of the mechanics like Taunt, LS removal (Lico from ToTG), or anything else to make things less stale because Gumi developed it. Here's my salt that I transferred from another post I made. I'm salty because too many people are too stupid to realize that's what's happening and they put Alim on a pedestal because "new content" must be fun compared to what they've been releasing the last half year. Alim is the same company that created Douglas and Felneus that dominated the meta for 3 months straight and created a meta that revolved around having three duplicate units even after the fiasco of Alice/Kikuri/Sefia days. Alim the developer of Michele's batch that stayed relevant until they just recreated the entire batch with Fiora's batch but with their Dia counterparts included. The creators of Maxwell which has had an iron grip on the meta for the last six months and people can ignore this fact while they demonize Gumi for implementing new mechanics in the game rather than look back to see why it's a problem in the first place. TL;DR: Gumi accentuates power creep with Ultor and Tridon through mechanics like Taunt and Elemental Shield which have arguably lessened the challenge of Trial 3 and other "hard" content. = CASH GRABBIN DEMONS Alim releases 5 batches of units that do nothing special and only improve on already implemented mechanics and stats while introducing stale mechanics that have no relative use in clearing content from what's been established and buffs Maxwell lolwut.jpeg. = PRAISE ALIM FOR IT IS HOLY You sheeps need to get your eyes checked.*
