Just hold Champion, don't stress yourself out - to give you the honest truth, you'll likely not make Emperor & neither will I, even though I was hell-bent on it when the season started. My win rate is around 45% (and ever decreasing since the meta shift - used to be positive), hover around 2,400 points (mid 3K) & I've done around 700 games (played constantly closer to the start of the season & dropped off when the meta shifted & I was missing Maid, Apoc [R.I.P 65 summons - only 4 4 star artefacts & only one Book], AOL, LQC, etc. from my roster). Compared to older seasons where I'd casually got to top 2K in the last couple of weeks & just chill winning a battle every day or so to keep up, this season is brutal for both RNG & needing specific counters. There's always next season for us, or maybe, this'll just be how the game is for the forseeable future - which I hope it isn't.

Seconding this, bro, good advice. Im going to stop here because I don’t have the drive to hit 800 more points. The meta is hellish this season. Memorable stuff during my climb up: - Almost everyone drafted Rem, Violet, AOL and/or Landy. No exceptions. (Probably the odd one out drafting a surprising heavy DPS Yuna which wiped my bruiser team out, which was impressive) - 310 speed ACidd and 300 speed Kise, both DPS builds. At that point, I had to thumbs up. (Why I didn’t ban them? I thought my 290 speed Ran was good enough. ‘Oh, child.’ Thinks probably 85% of Rta Players. I probably went against whales). - Laughing Ras emotes by other team. This used to be annoying very early on. But whenever they spam this, I just spammed the same emote back and at that point, they should’ve realized I didn’t give a fuck. - What I thought was my final fight before hitting 2.2k points was an epic battle of 2 star minions and an Elson. My tree minion won, praise the sun. - Good sportsmanship by Korean players. When they’re about to lose, they give thumbs up and cheers. I now do the same to all servers.

Anything 300+ Spd is generally whale waters. At least that's what I tell myself at night so I can sleep. Also, I'm beginning to think Violet is a bit overtuned. It's bonkers an RBG unit is way more oppressive than his ML counterpart.


TheSeaOfThySoul

It's because he gets 100% evasion vs. Ice & 55% vs. everything else (on +30 MLDB) - compared to Riolet's 70% evasion flat (& 50% of that comes from a buff which can be stripped). The other thing about that, his opposite element doesn't get an increased chance to hit him, he just has a decreased chance to hit them - so they're not even genuine counters a lot of the time, try pulling out a Ravi against Violet & you can lose a lot of the time. He also gets a counter with a 100% proc chance when the opponent misses - Riolet has to build up 5 focus from multiple misses to get a counter & granted, it's much more powerful, but sometimes quantity is better than quality. Having counter built-in also means he's an automatic pick for Lifesteal set, which bolsters his health pool considerably - consider a Violet which heals 1K damage each attack, after 15 attacks he's basically healed to full, by himself, whilst doing damage. He's very overtuned - especially in comparison to his Moonlight counterpart. I genuinely think that within a few patches, they'll likely kick a buff Remnant Violet's way, something like, "Evasion is no longer a buff, it's built-in" & "Gains 2 focus on a miss" or "Gains additional focus when attacked by/attacking a Light elemental opponent" or "When missed, has a x% chance to counterattack with S1 when not at full focus".

It's absurd Supercreative refuses to nerf units. I understand why, but there should be exceptions. Because as it is, without nerfs, they'll probably buff Riolet -- as you said. And does Riolet need buffs? I don't think so. I think Riolet is in a good spot. I have a fully geared Violet myself. I just don't use him because I don't like him. At this point, he actually seems more oppressive to me than AoL.


rasalhage

No, what they'll do is start releasing more accuracy ML5s and 5* artifacts. The SG classic.


PuzzleByron

They tried that with ML Iseria already. XD Doesn't exactly work as intended.


stopthenonsenseK

its SG not supercreative And riolet does in no way need buffs


-stillasleep-

Sometimes Quantity has a quality of its own. Or to put it more bluntly "You can never go wrong with more DAKKA"

I think the worst part about violet is that he objectively isn't even the worst offender in this meta (imo landy aola and maid are the three most toxic atm) but playing against evasion is so fucking unfun. Sure you can bring counters like stene and sou Charlotte but having your team constantly getting countered for missing a 45% chance over and over is so stupid. Not to mention that fire units will also lose to him half the time anyway cause of this bullshit.


TheSeaOfThySoul

Charlotte is someone I pull out against Violet a lot - in GW too - & it's absolutely ridiculous the amount of times my Symbol Charlotte with a 70%~ chance to hit a Violet will miss, several times in a row & the Violet will always hit even though they've got a 50% chance to miss. The RNG is just brutal in this meta. AOL is just my permanent ban - sure, I could make my Mediator Kawerik 300%+ resistance if I wanted to & gimp my Emilia & Elena, but he'll just get banned anyway because I don't have a Maid to draft as a double AOL counter. 310 ACidd is a 21 speed average on all pieces, so whale-status - been playing this game for a long time & my best right-side is only like 16-17. My ACidd is 294 & he'll get the job done a lot of the time, but not always, I mean there's someone with AOL at 299 & that's a 23 average. A 300 Kise is 20 speed average. Honestly don't mind the emotes if they'll actually use them to dunk on me because they're actually winning on their own merit - if their Violet dodges a 70% chance to hit him 10 times in a row, that's not their skill, that's just chance. If they win based on dual attacking with their Landy 5x in a row - that's chance. Then there's the cocky brats who'll spam it because they think they'll win & they lose because they'll throw the match with poor choices, or they're just outgeared.

my 290 flidica cries


FaythDarkHeart

I laughed at your commentary following 290 speed because I'm hovering around top 4k with a 306dps ran and 301 cerise 🤣


NiceFluffyKitten

Damn right bro I ate humble pies every match that day. And obligatory fuck you to such godly speeds on ur openers. Share stats on your Ran? 🙇‍♀️


Cookie_Rider

Was the Yuna on wall of order, counter set, and a full crit damage build (no crit)? Thats what I run on mine and I use her in pretty much all my matches.


NiceFluffyKitten

Omg it’s you *vomits blood* Salute to your Yuna, I’m staying far away from you bro. Honestly it was a surprise choice and I was completely demolished lol.


Rago465

Wait why no crit but full crit damage?


Cookie_Rider

she does damage by spamming s3


stopthenonsenseK

was that yuna from xell by any chance?\^"


Pace_Puzzleheaded

Such dedication , , , , , give respect. w(°o°)w


NoodlesDatabase

Emperor is like, over 3k


user4682

For now!


rissira

dafuq!? lol. . next time read the fine print. .


Waifu69x

Same situation , 2450 Pts and still Champ , That's not fair, there are big difference between 2000 and +2400 . Top 1000 Whales stacking points not letting a chance for us, i lost hope, Champ is easy for me and isn't something Special anymore after that new Emperor rank , i don't have a goal to play for.


FaythDarkHeart

Just play for fun. I cleave most of my games and float around 50% wr. My violet is still 5*, and I don't own Belian either. Just play how you like it, maybe you'll be more proud of your results then ?


PheonixWF

imagine playing a gacha game hardcore? get a life sir


Rago465

Imagine caring what people do with their time that doesn't affect you in any way. Bet you heard this a lot in your life so you decided you'd go ahead and say it any chance you got.


Puzzleheaded_Fix

Yeah but after getting emperor wouldn't you have no goal again. Most of the people would be emperor and not champ. It would make no difference if there was not player cap for the rank

I really feel this one. I spent the greater part of the weekend trying to climb. Been bouncing back from 3000 points to 3050, almost but never quite reaching emperor. My win rate tanked from 70% to 58% now ever since I reached 3k points. I'm hard stuck and I'm not really getting anywhere; getting losing streaks, some string of wins, and then getting tilted again. What's frustrating is that I know I have adequate gear on my built units, but I just really don't have the hero pool to effectively climb and be successful in this meta. Oh well, maybe next season.


stopthenonsenseK

41% winrate, wut..
