I understand its exclusive but the power and utility this thing has is better than some apex creatures. It's almost unkillable and has an absurd basic strike. Please nerf this thing. And boosts aside it destroys everything in tournaments except maybe dsungascorp

#

Get ready for the "get good" flood

peak herald
#

Compsoraptor is barely viable in tournaments. And it's in a worse position in arena.

chilly island
#

See what I mean

#

I will admit it's not #1 in arena but you can make a very strong case for top 10

#

And it's definitely top 8 for unique tourneys

2 very good counters for compso raptor. Gemdeus, but if you don’t have that the scorpions can destroy it it’s not even funny. I had my level 30, fully boosted, compsoraptor get taken down by unique scorpion at level 22 with minimal boosts

chilly island
#

How does that make it balanced though

jagged estuary
#

Since when has anything been “balanced” in this game

chilly island
#

Compsor definitely isn't the number 1 issue but it's pretty high on the list

jagged estuary
#

The formula for this game is to make something OP to get the whales to invest and feel good about themselves, and then introduce something down the line to take out said OP creature, rinse and repeat

chilly island
#

I don't see a good reason to support it though

timber ridge
#

Can we get rid of its chalkboard screeching at least?

How is top 8 not much

#

Top 8 = you have to use it if you want the best team

peak herald
#

Or your forced to use it because there's nothing better.

chilly island
#

Also this is why powercreep exists

peak herald
#

Doesn't make it nerf worthy.

chilly island
#

Was compsor OP at any point?

peak herald
#

Yes, this isn't 6 months ago though

chilly island
#

Ok and it never received a nerf, correct?

peak herald
#

Acrocanthrops was OP with its same kit. Your going to say it needs nerfed?

chilly island
#

Since when was it OP

#

I remember it being good but not busted

peak herald
#

When it was top 3 in arena? Lol

chilly island
peak herald
#

It dominated apex and uniques with its ability to back to back rampages and hit through armor

chilly island
#

Not saying you're lying but I seriously don't remember that

#

Was it early 2.0?

peak herald
#

This was also last year at some point. But again I don't think things that are viable deserve a nerf. When there's stuff that are meta defining around.

chilly island
#

Obviously those guys need it first, no questions there

#

The difference here is canthops is no longer viable in any way

#

But what do we do if they ever actually do nerf them?

peak herald
#

More stun bleed viable creature will keep it from ever being g busted

chilly island
#

They'll just be busted themselves though

peak herald
#

Only if they make them busted.

chilly island
#

The literal only reason comspor isn't busted is because we have stuff 10x worse

peak herald
#

You dont have to have a busted creature to create counters.

chilly island
#

Besides I think the idea of nerfing just one creature does nothing now since the gap is always ready to be filled, you'd need to nerf at least the top 20 to make lasting change

chilly island
peak herald
#

You can easily make viable creatures without being busted. It's really not that hard. Ludia just doesnt know how

chilly island
#

No one used dilophoboa to balance out rexy from 2.15-2.19 despite it being a non busted counter

#

Pulmonoscorpios destroys compsoraptor, but you are going to have a difficult, albeit not totally impossible time running it past estate

chilly island
#

Your logic works if there's only 4 or 5 OP dinos but we have an entire meta made entirely around them and no one else

chilly island
peak herald
#

Depends on moveset. Stats is one thing. Total package is another. I can turn that 4500 1200 110 creature into a viable but not busted creature right now that would counter compso. You know how easy it would be to make scorp g3 viable again?

chilly island
#

You'd have to make it busted

peak herald
#

You wouldn't. But okay lil

chilly island
#

So what would you do then?

#

How can it compete with Geminideus, Indonemys, kyrie, etc and not be miles above the majority

#

Scorp's main gimmick barely works anymore and was stolen by the scorpions who do it far better

peak herald
#

It has a basic moveset. Just make it slightly none basic. Fierce strike? Let's turn it i to a disarming cautious strike. Cunning rampage? Let's turn it into fierce cunning rampage. Give it an on escape ability as well. Give it the ability for its dodge to last longer. See how it turns out. Viable yet? No? Continue to improve slightly. Yes? Stay put

low ledge
#

It has to be somewhat similar to it’s ingredients?

peak herald
#

It's really not hard to balance creatures out. It's all about slow improvements or nerfs

chilly island
#

You mean the things you're saying we shouldn't do?

#

A nerf is exactly what's being asked for here

#

I'll reiterate what I said before, compsoraptor is definitely not the creature in need of a nerf the most

#

There's a decent amount that are stronger, but eventually you're gonna need to take care of it too

low ledge
#

Oh just wait til PB gets a hybrid

#

Power creep in a nutshell

chilly island
#

Oh you're in for a surprise

#

Everything is powerceep now

peak herald
#

I slightly buffed a creature that would and does counter it

chilly island
#

The problem is that buff can only go so far

peak herald
#

And thats when you nerf what needs to be nerfed. I don't think compso is one

chilly island
#

Right now it's not

#

Buffing something specifically to counter an already fading creature is going to do nothing long term

peak herald
#

Atrococo, gemgod, aeno , kyrie , dsunga to name a few

chilly island
#

And when they get nerfed who stops compsor? It's going to need one too

#

That's what I've been saying

#

Eventually you're just going to end up with comspor back on top

peak herald
#

You think compso would reign unstoppable if those creatures got slight nerfs? Fat chsnce lol

chilly island
#

Oh you just mean slight nerfs, like -50 attack

peak herald
#

No thats too small

chilly island
#

Not for ludia

peak herald
#

True lol

#

Asking for a compso nerf is literally asking it to become a tryko right now.

chilly island
#

That's too major of a nerf

peak herald
#

It's already barely viable

chilly island
#

Ok now my second point is, what about the majority of uniques/Apexes? Compsoraptor is balanced for the late meta but think about it in comparison to a good 70% of the other uniques

peak herald
#

A netf would juat make it not viable lol

chilly island
peak herald
#

Those uniques need a buff.

chilly island
#

My issue with that is
A. It takes way more time
B. It makes everything incessantly annoying and complicated

peak herald
#

Slowly nerf what needs. And slowly buff what needs. And keep the viable creatures untouched

chilly island
#

Would you rather buff 30 dinos or nerf 15?

peak herald
#

I rather buff 15 nerf 15

chilly island
#

And leave 15 in the dust

peak herald
#

And leave the 15 that are viable stayed put

chilly island
#

The 15 buffed shoot to the top, 15 nerfed settle in the middle, and the unchanged ones stay in the bottom where nobody uses them

peak herald
#

Why do the 15 buff have to shoot to the top? You don't have to kyrie buff everything

#

Look at dio

#

Is it kyrie? Or is it barely viable at best

chilly island
#

Ok then they're just gonna mingle at the top and still leave 15 behind

peak herald
#

What? Lol

#

Nerf the tip 15 in degree to their strength in the meta. Keep the middle 15 the same. And buff the bottom 15 in degree to the viable

chilly island
#

Ok so if I buff Grypolyth, nerf dscorp, and leave tuoramoloch unchanged, what's going to happen there?

peak herald
#

Why is tuora unchanged? It's bottom 15

#

It would get buffed lol

chilly island
#

Ok wait I see what you're saying now

#

Although compsor is still a top 15 unique

peak herald
#

I was just going with your numbers 😂

cold frost
#

As much as I would agree with this, asking for a singular nerf for something that isn't the most problematic creature at the moment wouldn't really do much. Compso gets nerfed, Dsungascorp, Geminideus, Atroc, Kyrie, etc are left unchanged, there's not much to gain out of it.

chilly island

Toura is fine staying as a raid unique, not sure how to make it pvp viable without removing its raid niche
