Few things,
First- Deus Ex is Jon's mother fucking best friend
Second- People are complaining about the pacing and i understand why. It is a bit too fast if you ask me. But i feel like towards the end the show can be excused for a faster pacing. Just maybe not quit this fast.
Third- There was plenty of time for benjin to get on that horse
Fourth- I didnt like Ayria this episode. She seemed bratty and immature. Sure shes a child but shes a child with great power. And remember what uncle benjin said "with great power comes great responsibility"
Fifth Flaming swords are fucking awesome. When they were fighting the bear and they pulled out two swords that were on fire. That was almost as cool as dragons imo

Okay so jamie is obviously going to be fished out of the water me thinks, do you guys think that bron is going to die?

Omg that episode was epic. It feels like a reward for every bad episode we have ever had to sit through. Even more so than the battle of the bastards because i was not expecting that.
This season has seriously been one of the best. We watched all of these characters develop their skills and talents and now its all coming together to create one hell of a season. Its moving so fast too, but no so fast to where i feel like we are missing stuff (which we are if you compare to the books but thats nbd). I loved this episode and cant wait for the next.
P.S. Arya's a badass. Deal with it haters.

and lose to someone who has 31 defense surviving on 1 hp ^^
Yea, after posting this there has been many examples of people winning rounds they would have otherwise loss or losing rounds they would have otherwise won bc of the quality of their comps. I guess when you are a hardcore comp player trying to go for that masters (is that still a thing?) then they are probs worth the investment.

The only ones against it would be scammers themselves, I imagine, so what is there to discuss?
Iirc there were people who werent scammers, notable people in the community, who was against a scamming rule. Idk it was such a long time ago. At the very least, if we are lucky, maybe we can see some scammers use this tread to cry. That would be entertaining right?
-
I didnt see a thread on this which is disappointing bc i try to only lurk these days, but i want to know what people think about the new no scamming rule. This was a rule i and many others tried to push for a long time ago and many others pushed back. So now that its a reality what are your thoughts?

I read a piece about LoL a long time ago. They were discussing what makes a meta healthy. A healthy meta, according to this piece, is one that is always changing and adapting to new things. They used an example of one of the more OP characters in the game that was over used like chansey.
-It was discovered that it was OP in the meta, people started using it,
-people who didnt use it needed to adapt,
-they discovered a handful of characters that counter,
-they start using those characters,
-meta changes,
-OP character stops being used so much because of the change in the meta.
Idk how much this applies in pokemon because you are choosing 6 pokes instead of 1 character but in the example they gave there was this character or characters that were too good not to use, then the meta changed to compensate for that. The difference between what is happening with chansey and what happens with LoL is that when people start using teams and pokes to "exploit" chansey, it still doesnt effect the usage. Im not really trying to say anything about this, just some food for thought.
Also im curious, and you can pm me the answer to this to not throw off the discussion around chansey, if something like metagross saw usage like chansey would you people who are worried about usage above all still be concerned? If not why?

Not only checks but keeps the tier balanced and healthy. Im pretty sure whatever the fuck team u been using without chansey gets rekt by some special sweeper and ur only answer is revenge killing it or u have a shitty wall just for that thing in there.
Im not speaking specifically of my team. But i do have one wall but thats for gyaradose. Sometimes i do have to revenge kill things but most of the time predicting a move and sending in the appropriate mon allows me to keep things in check until its sweeping time. I have also came across all of the spcl sweepers listed in this thread, even the rain mons, and have the tools to successfully dispose of them and win the match if i play better than the other person (in matchmaking thats not hard).
37 minutes ago, xilias said:no,because even if you don't run chansey,your opponent isn't going to use 4 brainless special sweepers because you actually can run chansey, idk if you undesrtand what I mean. The sole presence of chansey in the meta is enouph to keep keep special poks in check
I understand your point, the meta is different bc chansey is around so ppl who dont run her dont have to worry about spcl sweepers as much. But a good defensive core can still keep you in a good position. There are combinations of things like dusclopse, porygon, ludicolo, gardivor, umbreon hell even lanturn can work in OU that can check/counter a team built on spcl sweepers. At least thats the way i see it. Im not for a chansey ban i just think that you guys saying that spcl attackers will run amok is wrong. It was said during the snorlax and blissy ban when they were first up for discussion and it was wrong then and i think it will be wrong now.
-
If chansey was actually required for teams to keep spcl attackers in check then wouldnt teams that dont use her get rekt by spcl attackers most of the time?
-
Im going to disagree with ppl who say that w/o chansey special sweepers would sweep entire teams. It may be bc i only do matchmaking but i dont use chansey and dont get swept by spcl sweepers.

I have been playing a lot of hyper offense so maybe thats why i have this opinion, but i dont see chansey as being a big problem. It takes prediction to not be somewhat crippled by her, IE not switching in your metagross until you know if she has twave or not, but even when you get punished by chansey its not that punishing and there are ways around it.
My personal favorite chansey counter is ursaring with lifeorb. He loves coming in on Toxic. Twave is problematic somewhat because you now are slower than chansey and parahax but if you dont have terrible rng you can dispose of her quickly. If you dont get chansey with ursaring chances are if you play him right you will get something else. Ofc this takes prediction but thats a part of the skill of the game.
Chansey doesnt really put any pressure on a team like snorlax did. If she comes in on starmie then there is no real risk in leaving starmie in and taking a siemic toss in an attempt to scout the status (especially if the starmie has recover). If she comes in on a wish user such as jolt then you have pretty much a free switch into something. And finally if you can fit a heal bell pokemon on your team then the status that chansey spreads become very easy to deal with.
All in all the worse part about chansey is knowing her moves. Once you know the status or if she has counter (thats is a thing now) then she is very easy to exploit. I wouldnt argue against a test ban but im also not advocating for it atm (maybe in the future)

Stock Market Tournaments. The way this works is you have two groups of people, the companies (the people competing in the tournament) and the investors (the people putting money into the "companies") The people who want to act as a company signs up for it and needs to meet a certain criteria (x amount of official wins and/or x rank in match making). Each company will put themselves on the market for a specific tier and must meet the criteria (x amount of tourny wins and/or x rank in matchmaking) for that tier. A company can sign up for more than one tier assuming they meet the criteria for more than one tier. When it comes to stock market tournies (more on that below) a company can compete in only the tiers they establish themselves with but can compete in non-stock market officials in different tiers if they wish. A company can later associate itself with another tier assuming he/she meets the criteria (x amounts of official wins in that tier/rank) if it wishes. Each company will have a CM as a "broker" who will be responsible for all of the transfer of money between the company and the investors and keeping up with what the company is worth.
Once the companies are established investors will get a chance to invest in the companies. Each company will start out with x amount of shares to sell off (lets call it 100) and the people will then bid on shares of the company. Who ever bids the highest gets to buy. They do this by giving the money to the broker. All of the money that goes to the broker for that company will then be added to the company's value.
If you own a share of a company you can sell it back to the broker for its market value which is determined by the company worth divided by the total number of shares the company is divided into. So for example if a company is worth 1,000,000 and has 100 shares each share will be worth 10,000. You sell 5 shares you will get 50,000 from the broker. However if a company is "growing" (we will talk about how that happens later) you may be able to sell the share to another investor for more than its worth if he/she finds a buyer.
After X amount of time of companies being established and brokers being assigned the stock market tournaments can start. The companies are the only ones allowed in these tournaments and they can either be high risk high reward or low risk low reward tournies. The companies have to spend money from their broker to enter in a tournie. High risk tournies are more expensive to enter but higher cash pay out and low risk low reward tournies are cheaper to enter with lower pay out. Any winnings that is earned in these tournies goes to the broker to add to the companies value. Companies can also add to the company value with their personal money to encourage investment.
Companies can use money from their broker to make "investments". They can buy pokemon, tms, ppmaxes, etc etc. But any money used from these things will take away from the companies value and in order to keep investors around the company has to be able to make that money back.
Failing companies- This is a simulation of the stock market in pokemmo so people will lose money. Both investors and companies can lose money being involved. If a company starts losing money investors may sell back their shares at less than what they paid for it and if they end up with $0 in the bank then investors will lose everything.
Liquidating a company. If a company decides it doesnt want to be apart of this series anymore it can liquidate itself. If it decides to do that then the broker will give all of the investors the market value of the shares they own and take the company off of the market.
Board meetings. A company will largely be able to do what they want with their companies earnings, but if a majority of the share holders want to do things like put a limit on how much a company can invest in themselves that can be done by a vote between the share holders and the broker in a forum pm managed by the broker. If a company has 100 shares and the 51 of those shares represented by the share holders want to put the company on a budget of X amount for Y amount of time then the broker will enforce that budget. They can also set rules for the company such as the company has to get board approval before spending X amount of money or the company has to track where all of the company spending goes or the company will be cut off from its assets. They can also vote to stop things like the entering in high risk tournies and the addition of another tier for the company to compete in. This is to stop companies who may see this as an opportunity to spend other peoples money wildly from doing so.
Investment News. I think that there should be one forum where only brokers can post in. In this forum brokers will post the happenings when it comes to their company/ies. So for example if X shares of company Y was sold at Z dollars a share that would be posted or if company X goes from being a OU company to a OU and NU company they could post that. Companies can also have their own forum pages to promote themselves and tell their future plans to add value to themselves.
This is just the base overview of something i had in mind a long time ago. Any questions or interest let me know. Might be too complected to pull off but i wanted to put the idea out there for ppl to read.

Keeping bans to a minimum is a policy that works forwards, not backwards. Therefore that doesn't really apply retroactively. The standard for retesting something that has already been deemed broken is pretty high, as you know, and usually only happens when something is introduced that changes the meta game fundamentally. We don't have that with wobbu (unless youre advocating that shed hull is somehow a solution, which is preposterous). Even glossing over all that, your reasoning isn't great. Toxic users that you listed? None of them can come in on wobbuffet unless it's already performed it's job, at which point you're too late. So in my opinion wobbu is right where it needs to be, and I'd need a hell of a lot stronger argument (or i dk a full gen 4 roster) to be convinced it should be revisited.
Whats in gen4 that nerfs wobo? Dont get me wrong i agree with you, the less cancer the better, but im curious.

It really depends on the variety of aero. CB you need to predict well and usually a strong scarf mon can check it. This is the only aero that can really break walls and usually depends on multiple right predictions and maybe hax to do so. Scarf aero is significantly weaker than the CB counterpart but cant be outsped. Bulky waters usually can wall it tho. Lifeorb is interesting because bulky pokemon can only kind of wall it and it doesnt need to rely on prediction as much. But life orb does take its toll on aero so any bad predicts on his part is free damage and its still not as powerful as CB is. It is also checked by a power scarf mon especially with a se move.

How do i see usage? I dont see it pinned. Also i like the tier the way it is. I dont have to worry about my wall breakers having to 2hko a +1 lax while being able to take multiple bslams and not care about para.
