saying Plant is "broken" and "meta" because it can leave fights

fickle eagle
#

Easy

full vault
#

Put your money where your wallet is

brittle linden
#

sure those that reply with a rock probably did read it all, doesn't mean those that didn't reply with a rock didn't read it all

full vault
#

and 1v1 me.

fickle eagle
#

And also

full vault
#

Right now.

unreal mural
#

our whole argument is that you cant win against portal theoretically

summer stratus
#

the only thing it CAN do is stall

#

its not fighting

full vault
#

backing down i see

unreal mural
fickle eagle
#

U just hide in there

summer stratus
#

and shouldn't be considered a top 10

fickle eagle
#

For like 50 seconds

summer stratus
full vault
#

i am fully willing to stand by

fickle eagle
#

And just leave

full vault
#

100$

summer stratus
#

im pointing out your straw mans dude

brittle linden
#

Spring, Bomb Mas, Bomb unmas, Malice, just about every ability with a "trap"

unreal mural
#

i think we know that there is another reason

full vault
#

you can use any ability you want

fickle eagle
full vault
#

one condition

fickle eagle
#

OH HEY

summer stratus
#

literally get into a fight and you die-

fickle eagle
#

I got portal unmas

full vault
#

you must kill me as unmastered portal

summer stratus
fickle eagle
#

IT IS BROKEN CUZ I STAY 100 SECONDS IN A DIMENSION TO HEAL INSTEAD OF BETTER RESETING

summer stratus
#

just because you're "not dying" doesn't mean SHIT

unreal mural
fickle eagle
#

Which is stupid

summer stratus
#

cause youre not DOING anything

full vault
#

then put your money where your wallet is and do the bet with me

#

100$

fickle eagle
#

Hey bro

brittle linden
summer stratus
unreal mural
unreal mural
fickle eagle
#

I can kill u

summer stratus
unreal mural
fickle eagle
#

After i run 100 times in portal

summer stratus
#

Spectators so op

#

Spectator top 10

#

cause it can run away

brittle linden
fickle eagle
unreal mural
summer stratus
unreal mural
full vault
#

my argument is portal is broken

fickle eagle
unreal mural
#

we got an issue that someone is being toxic towards you

summer stratus
#

If you argue against Spectators complete hold on the meta. Then you have to 1v1 me and win.

fickle eagle
#

It is like saying

unreal mural
#

and you can only be satisfied when you kill them

brittle linden
summer stratus
#

If you cant kill me when im spectator

brittle linden
#

such as

fickle eagle
#

Spector is the best ability

unreal mural
#

or when they stay in lobby

fickle eagle
#

Cuz i can survive

summer stratus
#

Then my ability is meta

unreal mural
#

how are you going to kill spectator

brittle linden
#

adding a time betwen pressing E and being able to enter/exit the realm

summer stratus
brittle linden
unreal mural
brittle linden
#

Railgun

summer stratus
#

lets take Diamond from SB

#

sure you can just not fight

brittle linden
#

or any high knockback ability

summer stratus
#

but Diamond is SHIT

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

because of how not versatile it is

unreal mural
#

so

summer stratus
#

you cant do SHIT with Diamond in SB

#

sure Portal is more versatile

brittle linden
unreal mural
#

idk theyre not going to be afk

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

but that doesnt make Portal a top tier

full vault
#

that's why it should be reworked lol

summer stratus
#

just because it can leave fights

full vault
#

if an ability can leave fights

unreal mural
summer stratus
full vault
#

it deserves no place in the meta

brittle linden
unreal mural
summer stratus
brittle linden
#

it should have balance changes

full vault
#

no

summer stratus
#

Portal literally doesnt hurt anyone

full vault
#

it's just truth

brittle linden
#

every

#

single

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

problem

#

with it

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

revolves

full vault
#

there is no bias

brittle linden
#

around

#

it being able to instantly tp

#

and close

#

the portal

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

instantly

unreal mural
#

offense can be the best defense and vice versa if you think otherwise prove me wrong

summer stratus
#

spectator is meta

full vault
unreal mural
summer stratus
#

cause it can leave fights

unreal mural
full vault
#

you're giving us our argument

summer stratus
unreal mural
#

except you mean meta for toxics

#

then yes

full vault
#

an ability that can leave battles

#

and cannot be fought

#

should have no place in the meta

summer stratus
full vault
#

spectator shouldn't be an ability tbh

unreal mural
#

but its annoying

summer stratus
unreal mural
summer stratus
#

because its too strong?

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

anyways Portal in general is kinda goofy

full vault
#

yeah

summer stratus
#

so i dont rlly care for it

full vault
#

it should be ps only

summer stratus
#

I totally see the argument in saying its lame, or badly designed

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

Easiest portal unmas balance changes known to man that Xbot and Chutio refuse to believe can exist

•Both portals now have a slight timer of 3s between pressing the ability button and being able to teleport
•Both portals also now have a slight timer of 3s between being able to close them

#

or any higher or lower numbers

#

doesn't matter

#

still works

summer stratus
full vault
#

the portal to the dimension shouldn't close

summer stratus
#

also

full vault
#

and plant needs a rework

summer stratus
#

hes missing all of the very powerful top 10 abilities

brittle linden
#

so

summer stratus
#

like Quantum and Gingerbread

brittle linden
#

Incorrect!

summer stratus
#

cause they have dimensions too!!!

brittle linden
#

plant's PASSIVE needs a rework

summer stratus
#

and they can leave fights

#

just like Plant

#

oh yeah

full vault
#

the entrance to the portal should be closed when the portal user leaves

unreal mural
full vault
#

yeah

#

plants passive ability does need a rework

summer stratus
full vault
#

you're precisely right

unreal mural
#

this is not a rework this is just adding sm cooldown i guess

summer stratus
full vault
#

engineer like dos and hivemind

#

is fine in casual play

full vault
#

and gets countered by lava anyway

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

just make it so THEY can't enter immediately after

summer stratus
#

engineer can fly infinitely

full vault
#

unlike snow which has no payoff for the rolling of a snow ball

brittle linden
#

simple fixes

summer stratus
unreal mural
brittle linden
full vault
#

holy shit

unreal mural
full vault
#

all of you are so dense lmao

unreal mural
#

"Rework a lot of abilities"

fickle eagle
full vault
#

well

fickle eagle
#

Thats the thing

summer stratus
brittle linden
summer stratus
full vault
#

honestly

unreal mural
full vault
#

engineer deserves to be removed from competitive

unreal mural
#

and we know that

full vault
#

you're right

#

ill add that to the list

brittle linden
summer stratus
#

just cause an ability isnt really used in a 1v1 setting, doesnt mean its nearly useless

full vault
#

yeah

full vault
#

because theyre fine in casual

brittle linden
#

dude

full vault
#

but deserve to be better than lazy

brittle linden
#

you're pretty much contradicting yourself

summer stratus
full vault
#

yeah and im talking about how you haven't read the whole post

summer stratus
#

and how you think abilities with infinite stalls are suddenly meta

unreal mural
full vault
summer stratus
full vault
#

big difference

summer stratus
full vault
#

then

unreal mural
brittle linden
full vault
#

don't fucking reply?

#

like

#

if you're not here to talk about the suggestion

unreal mural
full vault
#

don't talk about it

summer stratus
summer stratus
full vault
#

yes.

brittle linden
unreal mural
full vault
#

because those are abilities that are highly meta/annoying

summer stratus
#

and i just wanted to say how your takes kinda stink no offense btw

unreal mural
#

caw is nonexistent btw its like only from time to time

brittle linden
summer stratus
unreal mural
sleek sleetBOT
brittle linden
summer stratus
#

lemme check if lil bro banned Alch Mas

unreal mural
fickle eagle
unreal mural
#

it exists but not enough to fully exist and be fully usable

brittle linden
#

seasonal

summer stratus
#

yeah

brittle linden
#

because with that logic

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

AW stats is down

brittle linden
#

the seasons are nonexistant

summer stratus
#

@full vault my main account has 400k punches no multis and my alt has around 300k.

#

now tell you yours

full vault
#

yeah

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

the past and present is also nonexistant

full vault
#

thats why your opinion is bad

#

i have 800k

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

do you NOT know what 24/7 means???

unreal mural
unreal mural
#

24 hours 7 days

#

its a paradox

brittle linden
summer stratus
brittle linden
#

make excuses for incorrect use

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

great way to respond

unreal mural
#

thanks

full vault
#

i have played this game for 4 years brother

summer stratus
full vault
#

i think i know what im talking about

#

yeah

#

because i am?

#

💀

summer stratus
brittle linden
unreal mural
#

this suggestion is SO going to be taken down because we already have about 1300 messages 💀

brittle linden
unreal mural
#

breh

#

i played this game uh

#

last year

summer stratus
#

I use every ability.

#

and I try to learn about them as much as I can.

summer stratus
unreal mural
full vault
#

yeah

brittle linden
unreal mural
summer stratus
#

and some other techy abilities

full vault
#

and i have played every ability as well

unreal mural
summer stratus
unreal mural
#

its not that big of an issue

brittle linden
full vault
#

yeah, alch mastery in competitive probably wouldn't be too terrible imo

brittle linden
unreal mural
brittle linden
#

fourteends

unreal mural
#

i say whatever

summer stratus
#

now I know ts guy must be trolling

brittle linden
#

has this technically derailed from the original suggestion?

full vault
#

yeah

unreal mural
#

i dont know

full vault
#

because none of you have read it

#

💀

brittle linden
#

so then we can close it

summer stratus
brittle linden
summer stratus
unreal mural
#

not replying with a rock means everything

#

(sorry im ragebaiting)

#

but you get it right

brittle linden
#

@swift cloud , the conversation has derailed from the original suggestion

unreal mural
#

it doesnt matter which way you look at it it will always make sense for the one side and for the other it wont

summer stratus
#

anyways if your top 9 list is whats banned from competitive

#

then idk

full vault
#

then stop derailing it?

summer stratus
#

if i read it, will I like it????

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

under technicalities

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

our conversation falls strictly to whats being discussed in the suggestion

unreal mural
#

so did yall understand what we meant with portal and spectator not being meta but broken

#

because thats the key point of the suggestion

#

if you dont understand we cant help

full vault
#

from this point on, discussion is to strictly be about the suggestion. do not reply to anything discussing the quality of post

brittle linden
#

fourteends

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

we are ALL going to listen to this guy

summer stratus
#

Alch Mas is a B tier

unreal mural
unreal mural
summer stratus
#

also any ability that can stall is meta

brittle linden
full vault
#

if its strictly 1v1, alch still needs time to set up potions

unreal mural
#

because its kinda skilled but only because the rest is no skilled basically

unreal mural
brittle linden
summer stratus
#

REWORK BRICKBATTLER 🔥🔥🔥🔥

full vault
#

our point isn't that portal is meta, it's broken. major difference

unreal mural
summer stratus
#

BAN BRICKBATTLER FROM THE META 🔥🔥🔥

unreal mural
full vault
summer stratus
#

but my point stands that inf stalling doesnt mean complete meta dominance. just design maps around stalling.

brittle linden
fickle eagle
#

Means

summer stratus
unreal mural
#

were talking about abilities being broken not meta

brittle linden
#

I HOPE

#

that means

#

balancing with damage

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

and healing

full vault
#

yeah

brittle linden
#

good

full vault
#

literally just needs to be a glass cannon fighter

#

and we're fine

brittle linden
#

if you're going to balance the stalling/flight

#

you should be using "HEAVY"

#

rather than light

unreal mural
#

light balancing

#

not everyone stalls with the same ability

#

hear me out ok

summer stratus
unreal mural
#

just because an ability can stall it doesnt mean it needs to

summer stratus
#

you should know this

unreal mural
#

so instead of reworking the whole playstyle were only reworking the stalling

brittle linden
summer stratus
#

nerfed "lightly" 15 times, people say its bad, but it still continues to be meta

brittle linden
#

but not really

summer stratus
#

its just how Brickbattler works

unreal mural
#

sob

summer stratus
brittle linden
brittle linden
#

it had derailed at that point

#

but

#

now it's actually back on topic

summer stratus
#

AND HOW HIS BLACKLIST SUCKS

unreal mural
#

so whats the problem now

#

with this

#

that reworks are going to be too light or too heavy

brittle linden
brittle linden
#

nerfing

#

and buffing

#

is different

#

from reworking

#

and overhauling

summer stratus
#

idc for Portal rework. Just leave it alone, itd be too much of a hassle considering it already has a gimmick mastery. (maybe make the mastery the standard ability and make the portal facility a badge???)

unreal mural
#

reworking is essentialy the act of nerfing and buffing in a good way

summer stratus
#

actually just rework maps around camping

#

so that Plant can stay

brittle linden
unreal mural
#

same playstyle but stalling is generalized

#

again to the point where everything can be seen as annoying

brittle linden
#

remember

#

gaining a new ability

unreal mural
#

uh

brittle linden
#

is different

unreal mural
brittle linden
#

from negatively or positively changing an already existent ability

#

I canNOT spell

unreal mural
#

how about "buffed AND/OR nerfed in a good way"

brittle linden
#

no because that's different'

unreal mural
#

if it doesnt impact the ability at all but its a rework it buffed certain aspects but also nerfed

brittle linden
#

those are called balance changes

summer stratus
#

and ill make my own list.

Allowed abilities for ranked:
Brickbattler, Vampire, Plant, Soda, Teleport, Shift, Boomerang, Blood God, Programmer, Overcharge, Stone, Lava, Paladin, Freeze, Pirate, Rage, Mystic, Reaper, Combo, Jester

unreal mural
#

balance changes and reworks includes both

summer stratus
#

boom my own custom whitelist

unreal mural
#

ok thats interesting

summer stratus
#

we arent keeping fucking alch mas

summer stratus
#

and we cant stall as the map doesnt have an underbelly

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

spring 1v1s are fun

summer stratus
#

its one of the nine he listed

unreal mural
#

can a robot dodge spring 100%

jagged fulcrum
#

the best ability in the game?

summer stratus

summer stratus
summer stratus

so low cd = spam

summer stratus
summer stratus
#

its just not a good fit for a meta like this

#

there's no meta buddy

#

its aw

brittle linden
#

every

# jagged fulcrum join caw

here's some rebuttals to all arguments made so far

  • You didn't list what abilities to rework.

I did. Incase you missed the bolded, very specified abilities I put down, here they are:

Snow, Kick, Festive, Brickbattler, Spring, Vampire, Stardust, Return, Plasma, God Punch

and heres the list of some that don't necessarily need reworks, but are annoying as a casual/competitive player

Bind, Void, Mummy, Army, Bubble, and Jello.

  • This is a low effort post.

I'm 99% sure I followed the formatting of presenting a problem, giving a solution, giving what the solution should be, followed by a real life scenario of this issue in action. That's not a low effort post; there is obvious, real effort into this post

  • This gamemode will be forgotten in a week.

ok? that's nice. it's not meant for people who want to play the game casually. if you want to play the game casually, play the game normally. if you don't want to be cheesed to the same 8 abilities, play this gamemode.

  • There's a discord server for competitive.

... that is not public anywhere in the game, description, or very easy to find in general. Better to join an actual gamemode than to dig through the ancient artifacts of the ancient times to find somewhere people play the game competitively.

  • You're saying default should beat Midas?

to an extent, yeah. a lot of the lower level abilities are quite lazy. Controversial, I know, but I shouldn't walk into a fight knowing I'm going to lose. Fights should be based on skill, not ability.

  • This is a complaint suggestion

... are we serious?

Okay, taking this argument at what it's worth: yeah, this is technically a complaint post. That's what balance posts are. Complaining an ability/abilities are overpowered is complaining. Congratulations Sherlock. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

  • Why is Hivemind/Dos not here?

They are not in need of a rework, and are fine in a non-comp gamemode.
anything else i'll add here too

jagged fulcrum
#

tell me please

full vault
#

i have argued this

jagged fulcrum
#

I keep asking

unreal mural
#

bruh

full vault
#

many times

jagged fulcrum
#

whats the aw meta

full vault
#

stop asking it

unreal mural
jagged fulcrum
#

tell me

#

what is it

#

see how you dont respond

full vault
unreal mural
#

brother i responded

#

can you stop derailing

full vault
#

thats what that is lol

jagged fulcrum
unreal mural
#

meta for what

jagged fulcrum
#

they keep saying every pvp game has a meta

#

but they wont tell me whats the meta

summer stratus
#

but Xbot is ignoring most abilities and saying overestimating defense/stalling

full vault
summer stratus
summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

so the meta is return plasma and bb?

fickle eagle
full vault
#

it yeah

fickle eagle
#

We are doomed

summer stratus
#

you shoulda found a better tierlist

full vault
#

it's not recent

unreal mural
jagged fulcrum
#

how is mage in A-

#

when it has an inf combo

#

barrier too

unreal mural
fickle eagle
summer stratus
summer stratus
fickle eagle
#

Is this list made after the rework of barrier or before

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

Mystic above barrier lava and mech 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

full vault
#

return cannot die

jagged fulcrum
#

😭 😭 😭

#

son

#

mystic

unreal mural
unreal mural
#

use default

summer stratus
#

first time i agreed with this bitch

jagged fulcrum
#

above defender

summer stratus
unreal mural
#

with good enough skill you can do uhh interesting comboes

#

dont we need to balance the whole fundament

jagged fulcrum
#

dont think you're better

summer stratus
brittle linden
#

gone

#

and

#

deserved

#

40%

summer stratus
unreal mural
brittle linden
jagged fulcrum
#

him putting mystic above defender just proves how bad he is at the game

#

like cmon

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

I'd like to 1v1 him

#

he takes the meta ability

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

and I think bad ability

#

I take mage and mech

#

he takes the meta

unreal mural
jagged fulcrum
#

I bet I would beat him

brittle linden
#

Mage and mech are not bad abilities AT ALL

#

WHAT

#

are you talking about

jagged fulcrum
brittle linden
#

mech is meh

#

but mage is like A+

summer stratus
brittle linden
full vault
#

yeah they're not bad?

brittle linden
#

bad abilities would be like D or F tier

full vault
#

like if i put them in c tier then sure

brittle linden
full vault
#

clown me all you want

unreal mural
#

can we talk about how this game isnt entirely rock paper scissors but as some point iti s

full vault
#

but

jagged fulcrum
summer stratus
full vault
#

they're good abiltiies

jagged fulcrum
#

you take meta abilities

#

I take mid abilities

#

we 1v1

full vault
#

lava is a-

jagged fulcrum
#

do you accept

full vault
#

like its great tho

jagged fulcrum
#

xbot

full vault
#

im good

unreal mural
#

horizontal mobility > range > vertical mobilty > horizontal mobility

summer stratus
full vault
#

top of a-

summer stratus
#

its S tier

jagged fulcrum
#

so you dont want to test it xbot?

full vault
#

oh i wasn't aware of the changes

jagged fulcrum
#

if the meta abilities are that good

full vault
#

ill update that rq

summer stratus
# full vault oh i wasn't aware of the changes

yeah the Q carrot boosts DMG by +40%

making the E move deal 28DMG+poison or around 30 in total

and making the m1s deal 14DMG

so combining ts with the slowness and the speed, using the E and then punching, you get to deal 44DMG for free

jagged fulcrum
#

looks like I proved his post is pointless

summer stratus
#

and rabbit is one of the most versatile abilities

#

allowing for inf stall

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
summer stratus
#

+i fucking hate bind

#

+you have fucking plot armor

jagged fulcrum
#

xbot

brittle linden
jagged fulcrum
#

it would be the perfect moment to see if your post is true

#

lets test it

#

cmon

summer stratus
brittle linden
summer stratus
#

i throw orbs, he phases them

jagged fulcrum
#

14d stop talking I want xbot to respond to me

brittle linden
#

how does punch trading exist😭

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

ok xbot no one is talking you can respond

#

thats what I thought

full vault
#

i don't need to 1v1 you to prove a point my brother

#

you're getting off topic

jagged fulcrum
#

even more

full vault
#

yeah, i said that for portal

summer stratus
full vault
#

because thats different

summer stratus
#

saying shit like this just makes u look like ur avoiding the fight

full vault
#

ill 1v1 you when fourteends beats me while i use unmastered portal

#

lol

summer stratus
jagged fulcrum
#

I just proved that with skill you can beat ''meta'' abilities

full vault
#

no?

jagged fulcrum
#

and the abilities dont need to be equal

brittle linden
#

bro Pizza would rip this dude apart 😭

jagged fulcrum
summer stratus
full vault
#

who

brittle linden
#

he's already mastered the Spring "tech"

jagged fulcrum
#

with spring

#

im the best spring in na

hes probably not lying

jagged fulcrum

cause actually only 9 of those were bind fights, and you missed one of the wins i got

brittle linden

if you were to run to your portal dimension

he'd just
