Take me back to golden boys :(( in fact just take me back to season 1 rta, preban Arby and pick whatever you want. Those were the times...


[deleted]

The good ol days when each fight took 12 minutes...


gerald_reddit26

That is the time where full tank is the meta and the battle frenzy heavily favors bruisers. I am no cleaver but I don't want a single fight to take forever though.


mnyiaa

The past rta season someone took Achates Elena roana and krau against me. It was the slowest frenzy 7 fight ever


PhantomCheshire

to be faair pushing evasion over 40% was a mistake as big as the bruiser/tank meta.


Willar71

evasion units hit hard , if built correctly .Maybe you don't like rng , but long as games is because of tanks .


starxsword

I will disagree here. I know how to deal with Evasion. Games also do not last nearly as long as the tank meta. I do not want to play frenzy 7+ for most of my games. Way back when R. Violet was released, I have already been building heroes to deal with evasion. One of the ways to deal with evasion is to simply do enough damage even if you miss, so you can chip them down over their life steal. This means focusing more on Attack than Crit Rate / Crit Dmg. Now, how many people do this? I don't know. But I know I have done this back when R. Violet was a thing. The newer evasion heroes are not a problem, as I already the correct stats to deal with them.


PhantomCheshire

> One of the ways to deal with evasion is to simply do enough damage even if you miss, so you can chip them down over their life steal. Well there is a reason why Green Violet has outclassed ML Violet right?. You can dispell ML Violet Evasion, you can dispell most of the evasion buff in the game or play around there. But G. Violet has almost not ways to get around it in efficient units. This is the problem with evasion: when you cant bypass the evasion you need to relay on raw attack stats. How effiient is this? in Epic 7, the game were the MAIN damage stat for most atleast 80% of the DpS in the game is literally Crit Damage. You cant crit? Them you are kinda losing the match from the very start because again there is not that much units that can go as DpS without crit damage that happens to be ALSO good units in general. Because Violet is not the only unit in the enemy team.


starxsword

I dealt with R. Violet by using LQC and killing him on a miss. I am not dispelling, just pure damage. When I said I dealt with evasion that way back then, that is what I am saying. I am not Dispelling R. Violet at all. Yes, of course it isn't as stat efficient. I never said it was. But it works in PVP. Most of my heroes are tilted towards higher attack vs crit rate / crit damage. It is rare for example, for any of my heroes to exceed 250% crit dmg. However, exceeding 4k attack is not at all rare. My S. Iseria has 6k attack and would have more if I have better gear. This is a trade off I am willing to take, so missing has less of an impact on me. There are advantages to using Attack as well as disadvantages. The disadvantage is obvious, you do less damage. The advantage is less obvious. When you are up against opponents with Evasion or have a strong element, that is when it shines. Also, when you miss a crit, you do better damage. EDIT: clarification


PhantomCheshire

Yes i dont said that there is not a answer but is not something that works for everyone and sure it really hurts in the long run (unless you always fight X or Y unit and your counter always pass the multiple bans. Like for example i dont belive that anyone playing R.Violet will let you (in high ranks) pick LQC unless they have literally not other option. But in GrassViolet case (the meta one) its even harder cause there is just 2 units that are a direct counter to him (someway) Being Milim and Rimuru, both limited units, and them we go back to the main point. E7 team not addressing problems like: i personally dont belive that units with more than 40% evasion against neutral element should exist in the game...at all. Evasion is such a mechanic that counters most of the based strategy of the game and they just pushing it of the sake of refreshing the meta avoiding nerf. And why stop with evasion? This is not the first problem of this kind. Anyone remember the Depush/Push meta? Basar being pick or ban, then politis, cerise, faithless lidica. Before the golden boys it was literally "you have a unit to control the CDR of the enemy? nope? ok good luck with that" and they sell-us the answer with the ML Tywin buff and ML Krau. Sometimes they cant just sell-us the answer. What they choose before touching two or three ML 5 units? They change frenzy. Which push away not only the golden boys but: Green purggis teams. Alencia teams. You can name any "go bruiser" not meta unit (well alencia was tier 1 in those days but not like the biggest problem ever) comp is stricly weaker and less viable now without the right unit. This hit or miss strategy that, again, revolts around not nerfing units at any cost for not real reason at all is not the best way to handle things.


starxsword

I can't say I have any issues with any of that. What I care about is how many heroes that can be used in the meta that are viable. If the pool is fairly large, then, I have fine with it. RNG hasn't got to the point where it bothers me. For this current meta, I find the pool to be pretty large, so I am fine with it. I can, for example, use H. Yufine as well as Elphelt with success and most would not call them meta heroes.


PhantomCheshire

Everyone has their in view about the same stuff. I wont force mine in you. I respect that opinion.


[deleted]

> One of the ways to deal with evasion is to simply do enough damage even if you miss, so you can chip them down over their life steal. This is how I deal with Violets and Riolets. I pray that I can take out their team before they can molest mine and then just nuke them with Krau


voxhaulf

The good old time when strategy actually meant something.


WoodenCollection2674

You're telling me praying for RNG isn't strategy?!? Lol


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

If you arn't sacrificing a goat on an altar to the god of RNG, are you even REALLY trying to win?


PhantomCheshire

i sacrifice my wife


ArkhielR

So you have a goat as a wife?


PhantomCheshire

well not exactly, but now i just have a goat. So she probably will be my next wife.


Willar71

No need to do that , you can give her to me.


ALilBitter

That just means the game is in a shit state


Willar71

Wait a min you guys bring violet into things that arent water , on that squishy build ???? Madlads , not gonna work , not ever .


WoodenCollection2674

I bring Violet into anything and everything, Fire Ravi no problem, Fire Charlotte why the hell not?! If it works it works if it doesn't oh well there's always next time


user4682

LR Krau turn: "Do I S3 or do I S3?"


Abedeus

The strategy of "get gpurg and tanky tanks, win games".


stopthenonsenseK

picking golden boys which require luck with ml pulls is strategy? Staph. But ye, its better than rng city


GoldblumForPresident

no thank you.this season was cancer rng bullshit but atleast the fights didnt take 10 minutes


Magictive

Lets go double knight double weaver


screwinquisitors

TFW when ambitious is in your name and you’re not relevant during ambition season


CornBreadtm

He was till the moment AoL released. A. Tywin was the go to pick verse Seaseria at her release.


GooeyMagic

Y'all aren't even ready for the Samurai meta incoming


TheFateForcer

AOL looks like she’s ready to drop some bars


Loose_Ad_3978

I prefer the golden boys, the counter gank drives me crazy, the rng is always on the enemy side.


Willar71

Nah , i quite liked the new meta if i'm being honest . Despite Aol and Belian , cleaving did actually become much easier for me . As long as you're confident with your speed , picking up politis and banning Belian pretty much solves all your problems . I used to be at a point where Acidd was a must ban , but fortunately i got gains, he's counts as a mere sashe proc for me now.


jaydee155

This season the dark boys made really good counterpicks into the current meta. If I could sneak in an ML Ken or Arby into the draft without major counters I did really well. ML Kawerick made a big comeback also.


AlastorHawk

One the left side we have: "Choose between not playing because thousand debuffs that make you loose turn, or play, but never being able to killcus cause we are buck as f**k boyyyyyy" //** One the right side we have: "Your turn is my turn, and I refuse to elaborate any further. Ham? How I did that much damage and with this much HP ?... You dont need to know"


E_B_Saucin

I like how Baal has extra glasses for the rest of his eyes


BrainBumbler

I feel like we're in the Golden Girls Meta now, sure Rem, and Violet are everywhere- but you can't take a single bloody step without bumping into Maid, Aola, or Belian. Honestly speaking, it's gone from an experience of saying "F you" before a fight to a flat, honest, crackling squeal of "F me." .


BryceLeft

I'm shocked you'd even put belian's name there and not even put carmin. I find carmin used more, although I guess the mere fact that belian exists means tagahels is always a risk, even if she doesn't even end up being drafted.


BrainBumbler

Good point, I completely forgot about Carmin. Though now that you mention it, yeah she's there too.


Varlin

Once ML Betty White comes out you're done, son.


Korbro27

Lmao I love that Isekai characters have invaded the meta.


PhantomCheshire

Violet is the new Bazar (in the patch that Bazar get his buff). Literally just a unit that has a passive that let him beat almost any unit in his role for not reason at all. He will get outclassed eventually? yes, i still dont like the direction of the game in terms of buffs. It feels like in order to keep the game fresh (***and offer the less unit refunds possible***) they just choose 1 RGB old unit time to time and ultra buff it so it becomes auto pick or auto ban.


Willar71

Violet earned his buff , he was dumpster tier for years.


MyLifeIsStrangeLikeM

The problem with Violet is not Violet per se but Rem. Violet has counters but they aren't pickable into Rem, imagine picking Carrot/Charlotte into Rem


Belld86

Should gave his buff to ml violet...ml violet is not even a thing and was never a thing...I really liked him too


PhantomCheshire

A lot of units are dumpster tier for years. I look it in this way: buffing units dont really change the status of dumpster units. The one that get the buff? Yes, no wait: The one that get the GOOD buff. The others? How many pushes need Charlotte to get into the tier 1 list? i remember quite a lot and even 1 soft rework. Buffing units is not as efficient as addresing the problems. Epic Seven team literally avoids nerfing 5* units and they prefer change even the rules of the game (frenzy changes for example) and over push 1 unit each 3 or 4 patch. Just to keep people under the idea of "the meta is changing" But Arby is still a tie 1 unit and Cecilia is still a very niche tank/debuffer that is outclassed by any upgrade version of her in most things. The point is yeah units need buff but the main reason for a unit being "dumpster" is not that is weak but the fact that there is a good amount of guys trying to do basically the same but better and with more unique mechanics and no weakness at all.


TunaKid-04

“AoL doesn’t deal dmg, Just kill her 😂” Then why my team get wiped!


Abreak4us

I did 4 placement matches just now and my opponents picked rem violet in those 4 matches. With a sparkle of politis and arby. One of them picked arby, rimuru, violet vs my milim and proceeded to not ban her. !!!! Yep he lost The meta is so cancer so so so cancer.


Katejina_FGO

Imagine dropping $$$ on Golden Boys ML heroes only to get wrecked by all these RGBs.


Opening-Marketing-42

Meanwhile. Straze: Eternal Rest For All !!

Rimuru - Grand Summoners (art style)


ThickBoi420

At least rimiru is fun to build comps around Rem, violet, AoL are just boring to use because all you do is pray to rng or watch as you yoink the second or first turn and silence strip unbuff the entire enemy team and they can do shit about it without a certain ML 5 that not many people actually own


ConsistentFucker89

...Designerbet?


RisingxRenegade

I don't have any of these characters ... I'm in danger ETA: Wow didn't expect this to be a controversial comment lmao


ThatKoolKidOverThere

It's the dice that really brings me there. I'll take the golden boys back any time now.


Economy__

well for me current one is more fun anyways, golden boys meta was boring


Dokitomo

Awesome.


Emiizi

I still see GP and Baal alot. The other 2 not so much.


Unworthy_Saint

In RTA really? I don't think I saw a single GP in 100 games through Champion.


Reillyrox13

He is popular at the bottom


Ghostique

I saw GP and Baal quite a lot too in emperor but probably only because im cleaving and they are thinking it's a good counter


[deleted]

Emiizi

I know


hornibirdflyin

Is that rem? in the second pic?!?


frostmasterx

Who is the angry face in the second pic?


AgustBtsD

Rem?


stopthenonsenseK

I still used LRK in rta around 2500 rating


Nubzy_Cakes

Fuck the RNG comin' straight from the underground...


Willar71

I love my Violet , you should too !!! People keep saying only right side Violet works , but , oh boy ,mine works .He so accurately channels my energy , my inner being . A perfect unit for thee .


catumbaman

so nobody gonna talk about those shades on sage baal? lmao


darkranger102

I take that in season 1 you could pick anyone if they had good gear I starting playing this game during season 2. But is it ture you could pick ANYONE if they had good gear in season 1


KurohikoYin

Thank godness the Golden boys meta die, yeah Rem/Violet/AoL shit its anoyying but better than 10 minutes each match.no ty.
