The Fush

I'd argue some of their games are looking "hella good fucking", though. Just some highlights for my list; Smash Bros. 4 is looking excellent to me just because all the mistakes it's looked like it fixed from Brawl and all the inventive and clever ideas Sakurai has come up with just make it look to be excellently shaping up. Smash Run, the idea of the Mii Fighters, customization, and newcomers that the fanbase was actually really hoping for; it feels like Sakurai has actually really listened to the community and savvily added features to the game out of our request and approval. It really looks like it's going to be amazing once I get it in my hands. Dynasty Warriors has always looked amusing to me because of just sweeping down tons of mooks; combine this with the roster of available characters from the Zelda series in here and some of the over-the-top action looking to take place from what I've seen of the gameplay, I'm actually really interested in getting Hyrule Warriors now. There hasn't been much shown of the LoZ Wii U title yet, but the concepts Aonuma seems to have wanted to bring back from the older games in the series looks like they're going to mesh in really well here, and it looks appealing to me. I'm pretty sure the older fans who loved the original Zelda are going to like this title aswell. Splatoon looks very creative and full of ideas for a new IP by Nintendo; the objectives and the ways they're carried out, the variety of items all associated with splattering paint, the squid form and some of the team mechanics seem like they mesh to create a really fun game. It may be a new IP but it looks to be a good one to me. Hoenn remakes are Hoenn remakes. Finally, I can't say much for Xenoblade X considering the lack of elaboration on the trailer's part, and the fact that I'm still waiting for the excessively British voices instead of the excessively Japanese voices (and that Nintendo isn't actually making this game but I feel like mentioning it anyway), but if Monolith is looking to live up the original Xenoblade then my expectations for this game are incredibly high. Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm hoping that the sequel will honour it's name. All this, combined with how much it looks like Nintendo does work for it's fans, has convinced that I want to buy a damn Wii U at some point in the future.

Obviously a recreation of "I'm Bad At LoL - Hacksters" and therefore contributes to the thread

I don't disagree that lately most of Nintendo's games have been geared towards a casual market, but I'd argue that the chain of decisions made during 2013 was a result of the classic bad decision to release a new console without any games to quickly follow up on it. I can't deny that Nintendo have made bad decisions and have shyed away from the competitive and less-casual fans until E3 2014 (IMO), but I disagree that they had little to offer to us at E3; I feel like you're shooting down everything they've shown without caring to evaluate (New Zelda is just "Skyrim-inspired", new IP looks unappealing, all games after Starfox 64 in the series have been bad so this one, which Miyamoto is overseeing and has had little elaboration on as of now must also be bad). also is anyone else really hyped for Xenoblade 2 because I am

This battle was one for the ages

I think you're misintepreting me again, as usual. I'm saying that it was an exaggeration to say that that was all they were releasing.

Wise words from the dojmaster Something I find that helps is that when I feel like doing a certain thing I just consider what I might be up against and that might make me decide to go through with it whether it's "meta" or not I'd argue that LoL definitely has some set idea in terms of a meta though, and that arguing that LoL has no meta is going it a bit far; going beyond the idea of solo top, solo mid, ad carry and support bot and solo jungler, the meta usually tends to promotes certain roles of champions to go in certain lanes; Mages in middle, Fighters at top, etc. I feel that the community's fixation on these ideas aswell as Riot's hesitancy to work out of them until a new season or heavy patch is what is making LoL grow stale to me and is why I think League Of Legends has the most constricted meta out of any moba I've played; as long as Riot is turtle-ish in it's methods it will never escape this problem and certain roles and champions in lanes will always be forcibly promoted and supported. It doesn't help that this, consequently, also constricts the build and items used in the meta. I understand that making the changes to pull through with this are difficult for the company to determine and decide, but we've had 3 whole seasons that have shown little overall variance in the meta's structure. I feel that LoL and it's community will never stop being conservative about the workings of it's meta, and that's ultimately my biggest problem with the whole game (although it doesn't stop it from being a good game, otherwise I wouldn't have been playing it for 2 years now).

That's an exaggeration.

In regards to Mael's general comments: Your points have some legitimacy to them; Amiibo seems like a very gimmicky route to take in terms of products that could encourage Wii U sales. But I feel like you keep going out of your way to shoot down new announcements and updates on games Nintendo has made; I can understand your anger towards the lack of innovation on Nintendo's part but that isn't the only way to keep new games fresh and your passion for innovation in games feels kind of like it's biasing your view towards Nintendo's decisions lately. Just saying. Can you honestly blame them considering they've had one of their lowest grossing rates in a long time last year? On an edited note yes I am all for a pokémon mystery dungeon that is not completely ruined in terms of desired gameplay like GoI was

Sorry, but I'm kinda reading "Nintendo needs to revive itself; how about some photography?". I don't see a game where you stalk and throw rocks at wild pokémon being brought back and reviving the Nintendo spirit.

I won like 6 out of my 10 preranking games using him and then I suddenly sucked at him i don't know what happened

come at me

I dunno he doesn't look that bad to me wf trainer looks the most meh so far imo

Well, game and watch isn't actually confirmed as a playable character yet; he just showed up in the trailer. Wouldn't be surprised if his reveal followed though.

nintendo won e3 go home now

nice to see you again mockingbird :U that feel when this is the most annoying exam week yet fuck maths

I'm going to go and look at why i even play support anymore now

if you compare me to you in LoL terms we can see that I bathe in the dosh of dragons and barons while you squeal at the thought of wraiths

OH MY GOD URGOTS MAY REJOICE AROUND THE WORLD AS THE BLESSINGS OF MORELLO HAVE FINALLY COME DOWN UPON US excuse to blast that passive on all day i kinda don't wanna see this in Talon's OR Jayce's hands tho

"If you don't believe what I say, that's fine, but please don't spread lies and propaganda." I'm sorry, but disagreeing with your opinion means I have a different one and if that comes across as lies and propaganda to you, then... well, that's your problem. And I'd absolutely LOVE to see your evidence proving that anything I've said implies that I'm heavily biased in favor of LoL, spewing forth hate of DotA and making incohesive arguments. Please differentiate between me implying the problem in LoL's balancing lying elsewhere and me arguing that LoL is the most balanced MOBA in the world and that DotA is a steaming mess. And please actually respond in a more civilized manner instead of labeling my opinions as lies and slander and misinterpreting what I've said; if you don't, then I see no reason in continuing this hollow argument with you.

lol feel when played a veigar game; kick ass for like 5 mins against malz top dies and enemy bot takes two towers and double godlike by 15 mins then I die a bunch because bot decided to gank mid and no indication was given because team didn't know how to map vision I then spend the next fucking 50 mins destroying their lives by getting ridiculously fed as much as i can but my teammates were still being derps and i got malz ulted and aced and then we lost because no matter how much i killed stuff we didnt have time to push or anything since we were so far behind in gold and needed to recover so it was kinda futile but i tried and i killed stuff and that was okay went 21/9 and then we lost because nidalee is a jerk and so is malz

cougar form is fine as it is considering the tradeback of being a squishy melee why don't they just deal with the actual fucking problem with spears I'm sorry, I wasn't aware your beliefs were numero uno around here. Can you at least respond to other people's opinions in a more respectful matter? Like Neo already, said, just because two games are part of the same genre, doesn't mean they're exactly the same in concept and features; you don't see people claiming that Mario and Sonic are both platformers and therefore have no difference in idea between them. I can definetely agree with some of your arguments; patch changes don't shift the meta at all, but that's because Riot tends to deal with problems in a more turtle-esque fashion, nerfing dominant champions in the meta instead of buffing ones that are more minor. Item choices tend to be unvaried because of this aswell; if there's just one kind of thing going on in the meta then there's usually only one kind of item to deal with it. People playing squishy mobile mages are gonna pick Athene's over Archangel's every godamn time because they're gonna be facing squishy mobile mages aswell, aside from the occasional Zed. But, no offense, you sound ridiculously biased against some of the properties of LoL; care to give examples of these terrible mechanics? Champs that were "useless" (which I'd argue is an excessive term) on release? Only one I've seen like that in a long while is Quinn (and even then that's debatable). Anyone dominant in bot lane nerfed down immediately? Well, try telling that to every balanced-throughout-the-course-of-a-match AD carry (hi Lucian) and every support with crowd control and defensive capabilities (Leona, Braum, Thresh, Morgana). The problem with league isn't that it's unbalanced, as every champion and item usually has strong potential and properties going for it, with the exception of low payoffs these days such as fuckin' Moonflair; it's more to do with how it refuses to crawl out of it's shell. Champions may be mostly balanced and items may all have the qualities but as long as league confines to one restricted meta there are items and champions that are going to see little to no use, competitive or not. Currently, the meta looks down on those with tradeoffs at certain points in the game, such as Veigar sucking early but being a holy terror the further the game goes on; this applies to Nasus and the like aswell. Veigar is a good champ in his own right but as long as the meta sticks to it's more approved roles then they're not going to see any use; it's the meta that's the problem, not the champions themselves. I'm not saying that every champion is balanced disregarding that factor (see Yasuo on-launch, current Sion, the nerfs that had to be applied to Kha'zix to stop him from devastating everyone), but they're not as ridiculously unbalanced as you say they are. I can't completely testify for dota's regard in balance, but the meta is a whole lot more free and varied there (if there even is one) and so it exposes the individual flaws and imbalances of each hero more, and that's why I'd argue DotA 2 is less balanced.

balance doesn't even exist in dota like there's non-ult globals, multiple availible flashes and crazy shit it's more like a hey go loco I have to disagree; the theme feels more like something from dota than the vibrancy league usually emanates from the rift.
