    Adding to the above post, I don't really count on any grass to switch into wellspring except amoonguss (locked to stall (bad)). All of them get knocked or U-turned on and fall apart, rilla isn't exceptionally poor in this regard. You can at least win vs it 1v1 by threatening ohko or momentum...

    Man why do yall think rilla is bad to begin with, I really don't get it. The rilla hatred is crazy. Wdym pecharunt doesn't hate knock?? Wdym the only reason to use it is glide? I'm not even talking about some magical new set I came up with, I have found plenty of success simply with band by...

    Roaring Moon Suspect — Qualified Discussion

    I promised I wouldn't vote ban to protest tera anymore, but I still think moon is broken enough to get the BAN vote from me this time. I went into it a little in this video where me and finch talk about tera. I think what's most important to recognize moving forward when tiering with tera is...

    It's a common misconception to see the ladder community and tour community as two separate groups when in reality there is tons of overlap. Tour players like to hide on alts when testing teams to maintain as much of an element of surprise as possible, because unexpected techs can make a big...

    This is getting pretty off-topic from OU so I won't go back and forth on this, but if we pretend tera blast stays legal, there's two things I'm interested in: Firepon and Electro Shot Firepon is dummy strong but there's a chance that hazards/prio/zama/pecharunt/dnite/raging bolt etc is enough...

    My "right idea" about what would be good for the meta was a tera ban LOL you're damn right I gave up on that So given that, I'm going to be realistic about what will and won't get banned from this point forward and vote accordingly. I really doubt gliscor is going anywhere, and I don't think a...

    I really enjoyed recording the vid, but there are some things I didn't get to and haven't said before, so I'll say it here: I think it's really lame that we never got more survey data on how people feel about banning tera. It polled poorly once and then just never showed up again, even though...

    Tusk is objectively not that big of a threat in the meta rn. It sees high usage primarily for its utility in checking a few things and removing/setting hazards, not because it's ending games. I also want to say that high usage =/= unhealthy, broken etc. You can look at metas in the past like BW...
