>>58185636Yea the saddest thing is that the game was actually in a comfortable spot where Darktina was still powerful but actually had counterplay to it. Espeon EX was pretty overwhelming but not oppressive, and defeated by anything that can oneshot to offset the healing.
I had the most fun in ranked these past 2 seasons. Sylvanny being brought in was really fucking stupid but it was just an overpowered tool that could be splashed into pretty much any deck that needed some early game damage. So it kinda worked out by being an equalizer. But now we're back to a fucking OP as fuck deck that doesn't have any real counters. I think the first season of ranked was like this? That's the only season I got Ultra in and didn't bother climbing to Masters cause it was so fucking boring. Every match was Darktina with an occasional Mewtwo making a cameo. Playing Meowscarada only worked as a counter half of the time since getting a stage 2 online is a lot tricker than just throwing fucking energies on your backline.
This season may also be another I just fucking let myself stay in Ultra 4 or something. Just not going to be worth the grind if every fucking match is Suicune Greninja. If you play the deck, your wins don't feel rewarding cause the deck fucking auto-wins. If you lose against it, it doesn't feel rewarding cause what the fuck are you even supposed to do to it.
They should have introduced a tool that reflects passive damage effects this pack. Then at least Oricorio could fair better. It'd still be a "counter" in the sense of Mewoscarada countering Darktina (as in reliable only half of the fucking time) but it at least gives a fighting chance that doesn't feel cheezy. Game went to pretty fun to no fun real fast. Even with their power creep it did feel like they were giving us more options. Now it feels like we have nothing but Suicune to play.
