Do you not realize how contradictory that statement was? Either it's too early to tell or not, why are some people completely wrong about a character if the game has just come out? Your logic doesn't add up hereHey Everyone!
So while I'm not against the general sentiment of thinking of ways to improve your character, what bothers me is the fact that when I look through these threads, 70% of the posters have no idea what they're talking about yet. I'm seeing incorrect descriptions of characters' strengths, complete lack of understanding of character weaknesses, and lots of talking that suggests people just need to play/lab more.
So for now, if I see anything along these lines, I'm going to close it.
For guys that want to discuss these things, just do it in your individual character forums, where (presumably) people know a little bit more about your characters' toolset. But right now, we need to be engaged in a period of learning, and not telling the developers what to do with the game 2 weeks in.
So I'm suggesting we all just take a deep breath, relax, and dive headlong into understanding and examining the game. Then in a few weeks, we can revisit this stuff and people can compile their suggestions into something more meaningful.
Cool? I love you guys -- hang in there!
It's never to early to be caught stating something completely opposite to how a character functions in-game
Exactly. So why would it be too early to determine better characters if you can clearly tell that some are better?
Yes yes yes, because we always know which characters are worse than others weeks after release. Sometimes we even know who is bottom 3 after two weeks.
Tell me, when do we know that it has stopped being too early and we can decide on balancing? Is there a cue? Is there a timer? Is it when new tech stops being discovered? Is it when new tech is discovered?Yes yes yes, because we always know which characters are worse than others weeks after release. Sometimes we even know who is bottom 3 after two weeks.
I just gave you an example of a "F tier bottom 2 character" that was later found to be #1 in the game and later on banned after being fully explored. These are the types of assumptions you make when you barely know the game two weeks in. That's why it's too early. Or should Hilde have been "buffed because she was obviously D tier"?
My statement still stands...
Strawman.
Wasn't Morrigan considered bottom tier until ChrisG discovered the Morridoom team?
This is actually a fair question if you think about it.
I was always certain it was when Reo releases his tier list.
It isn't really something you can answer black and white though. Like, you can't say "in 3 months we will commence balance talks" lol. I think it's a grey area where you simply have to know what you're talking about. I could tell you the ins and outs of Raven's MUs against the entire Inj1 roster, but wouldn't dare say I can comment on a single MU in Inj2 yet balance-wise, regardless of the ones I find easy and the ones I can't win.
I wouldn't be too scientific about it -- but it seems like once you're past the 3rd or 4th week people start to have a better idea what's going on. Just observing the ratio of information to misinformation in these threads right now though, we're not really there yet.
