  2. when are we voting on pix/veil/zigzagoon
  3.  
  4. [22-Feb-20 12:27 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  5. presumably after all the spl lc games are done this week, at the earliest
  6.  
  7. [22-Feb-20 12:42 PM] Coconut#8762
  8. if we're not organizing something now, it
  9.  
  10. [22-Feb-20 12:42 PM] Coconut#8762
  11. won't be done until probably the week after
  12.  
  13. [22-Feb-20 12:59 PM] Luthier#1578
  14. Ok
  15.  
  16. [22-Feb-20 02:15 PM] levi#6206
  17. I think zigzagoon is balanced
  18.  
  19. [22-Feb-20 02:19 PM] Coconut#8762
  20. I disagree with whatever levi says
  21.

  27. [22-Feb-20 03:07 PM] hongli#4483
  28. i still think veils are kinda dumb
  29.  
  30. [22-Feb-20 03:07 PM] hongli#4483
  31. tbh
  32.  
  33. [22-Feb-20 03:07 PM] hongli#4483
  34. i feel like it's not like there's zero counterplay but
  35.  
  36. [22-Feb-20 03:08 PM] hongli#4483
  37. a lot of it is mitigated by hypnosis
  38.  
  39. [22-Feb-20 03:08 PM] hongli#4483
  40. since pix can just get free turns to set up
  41.  
  42. [22-Feb-20 03:42 PM] levi#6206
  43. i dont think zigzagoon is broken
  44.  
  45. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  46. it's frail and predictable
  47.  
  48. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  49. it needs counterprep but as of now i dont see it being significantly work than say
  50.  
  51. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  52. the oras smashers or fletch or sth
  53.  
  54. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  55. worse
  56.  
  57. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  58. *
  59.  
  60. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] hongli#4483
  61. yeah i agree wrt zig
  62.  
  63. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  64. maybe the meta will develop s.t. it'll become worse
  65.  
  66. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] levi#6206
  67. i do think veils is broken
  68.  
  69. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] hongli#4483
  70. still think veils themselves might be problematic though
  71.  
  72. [22-Feb-20 03:43 PM] Shrug#7659
  73. i think the only way it's broken w.o veils is w heavy memento stuff
  74.  
  75. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] Shrug#7659
  76. i think veils the prollem
  77.  
  78. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  79. i dont even see ziggy as its best abuser
  80.  
  81. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  82. yeah
  83.  
  84. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  85. but the main abusers in vull/sprit/ziggy are all so different and so mu fishy
  86.  
  87. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  88. when paired w veils
  89.  
  90. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  91. i mean maybe it can be used as a breaker for other things on veils but like
  92.  
  93. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  94. it really provides nothing to the team
  95.  
  96. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  97. such a dead slot on veils
  98.  
  99. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  100. its still a good mon imo
  101.  
  102. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  103. when you already have a dead slot w apix
  104.  
  105. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  106. like A- or even mid A
  107.  
  108. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] hongli#4483
  109. well apix isnt really a dead slot
  110.  
  111. [22-Feb-20 03:44 PM] levi#6206
  112. its threatening for sure
  113.  
  114. [22-Feb-20 03:45 PM] hongli#4483
  115. it's fast, has a decent offensive typing
  116.  
  117. [22-Feb-20 03:45 PM] hongli#4483
  118. and can put things to sleep
  119.  
  120. [22-Feb-20 03:45 PM] levi#6206
  121. y
  122.  
  123. [22-Feb-20 06:07 PM] brewfasa#4532
  124. not sold on veils being broken yet but I do think zig might be more manageable than previously thought
  125.  
  126. [22-Feb-20 06:08 PM] brewfasa#4532
  127. there’s ways to prep for veils that aren’t terrible
  128.  
  129. [22-Feb-20 06:09 PM] Coconut#8762
  130. osh brought croagunk and cottonee and still lost to veils
  131.  
  132. [22-Feb-20 06:10 PM] brewfasa#4532
  133. do we still use single matches as proof
  134.  
  135. [22-Feb-20 06:11 PM] brewfasa#4532
  136. I’m js I’m not fully convinced yet
  137.  
  138. [22-Feb-20 06:11 PM] brewfasa#4532
  139. and we definitely haven’t given it time to marinate
  140.  
  141. [22-Feb-20 06:12 PM] Coconut#8762
  142. I'm not saying we do
  143.  
  144. [22-Feb-20 06:12 PM] brewfasa#4532
  145. ur saying we do what
  146.  
  147. [22-Feb-20 06:12 PM] brewfasa#4532
  148. o
  149.  
  150. [22-Feb-20 06:12 PM] Coconut#8762
  151. but he was clearly overprepped for it
  152.  
  153. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] Coconut#8762
  154. with a team
  155.  
  156. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] brewfasa#4532
  157. is gunk even good veils prep
  158.  
  159. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] Coconut#8762
  160. that clearly wouldn't be that great
  161.  
  162. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] Coconut#8762
  163. unless you were playing against veils
  164.  
  165. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] brewfasa#4532
  166. gunk is good lol
  167.  
  168. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] Coconut#8762
  169. he had a cottonee.
  170.  
  171. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] brewfasa#4532
  172. o ye cotton
  173.  
  174. [22-Feb-20 06:13 PM] brewfasa#4532
  175. but cotton isn’t good
  176.  
  177. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] brewfasa#4532
  178. haven’t watched match tho lemme do that
  179.  
  180. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] Coconut#8762
  181. it's a team that's clearly overprepped
  182.  
  183. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] Coconut#8762
  184. for veils
  185.  
  186. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] brewfasa#4532
  187. sure
  188.  
  189. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] brewfasa#4532
  190. one off match doesn’t sway me that much
  191.  
  192. [22-Feb-20 06:14 PM] brewfasa#4532
  193. when idt the “prep” is even that good
  194.  
  195. [22-Feb-20 06:15 PM] brewfasa#4532
  196. again why is gunk considered anti veils rly
  197.  
  198. [22-Feb-20 06:15 PM] brewfasa#4532
  199. when rocks dig is probs the best rocker?
  200.  
  201. [22-Feb-20 06:16 PM] LilyAC#7887
  202. yea gunk isnt even especially anti veils
  203.  
  204. [22-Feb-20 06:17 PM] LilyAC#7887
  205. imo osh's team just wasnt very good
  206.  
  207. [22-Feb-20 06:17 PM] Coconut#8762
  208. osh's team wasn't good that's the problem
  209.  
  210. [22-Feb-20 06:18 PM] Coconut#8762
  211. gunk is deffo a matchup fish though
  212.  
  213. [22-Feb-20 06:18 PM] Coconut#8762
  214. no one's using it in SPL for good reason though
  215.  
  216. [22-Feb-20 06:18 PM] Coconut#8762
  217. idk his justification for it
  218.  
  219. [22-Feb-20 06:18 PM] Coconut#8762
  220. but its undeniably a fish
  221.  
  222. [22-Feb-20 06:18 PM] LilyAC#7887
  223. wdym by thats the problem?
  224.  
  225. [22-Feb-20 06:19 PM] Shrug#7659
  226. i think the thing about veils is that the things that attack it directly are shit and the things that beat the abusers depend on the abusers, of which there are many
  227.  
  228. [22-Feb-20 06:19 PM] brewfasa#4532
  229. A fish for what lol
  230.  
  231. [22-Feb-20 06:19 PM] brewfasa#4532
  232. aren’t the abusers p defined at least for boe
  233.  
  234. [22-Feb-20 06:19 PM] brewfasa#4532
  235. bow
  236.  
  237. [22-Feb-20 06:19 PM] brewfasa#4532
  238. now+
  239.  
  240. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] brewfasa#4532
  241. bb pawn and Timburr aren’t rly shit
  242.  
  243. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] brewfasa#4532
  244. not to mention Defog
  245.  
  246. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] Shrug#7659
  247. i mean: drillbur vulla spritzee shellder cutie zig
  248.  
  249. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] levi#6206
  250. pawn is still quite trappable and burr loses to a fair number of veil abusers
  251.  
  252. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] Coconut#8762
  253. osh used a team that was dogshit
  254.  
  255. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] levi#6206
  256. the veil abusers are just way too diverse
  257.  
  258. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] brewfasa#4532
  259. ye just losing to an abuser
  260.  
  261. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] Coconut#8762
  262. in 99% of situations
  263.  
  264. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] brewfasa#4532
  265. doesn’t invalidate that it gets rid of webs
  266.  
  267. [22-Feb-20 06:20 PM] brewfasa#4532
  268. er veils
  269.  
  270. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] brewfasa#4532
  271. and at the point it’s just go
  272.  
  273. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] Coconut#8762
  274. just to make sure he didn't lose to np spritz and np vull and ziggy behind veils
  275.  
  276. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] brewfasa#4532
  277. ho
  278.  
  279. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] levi#6206
  280. like i dont think theres a real way to be comfortable against the veils archetype at all
  281.  
  282. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] Shrug#7659
  283. veils doesnt make these things twice as hard to beat, it squares the difficulty
  284.  
  285. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] LilyAC#7887
  286. no coco
  287.  
  288. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] Shrug#7659
  289. compounded by the number
  290.  
  291. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] LilyAC#7887
  292. because his team lost to veils anyway
  293.  
  294. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] Coconut#8762
  295. I don't think he had a bad veils matchup
  296.  
  297. [22-Feb-20 06:21 PM] Coconut#8762
  298. and I think he went in making sure of that
  299.  
  300. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Coconut#8762
  301. it's just that the "veils" matchup
  302.  
  303. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Coconut#8762
  304. is ridiculously diverse
  305.  
  306. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] brewfasa#4532
  307. what makes veils more broken in this meta
  308.  
  309. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] brewfasa#4532
  310. Than last
  311.  
  312. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] brewfasa#4532
  313. ik ik don’t compare w/e
  314.  
  315. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] brewfasa#4532
  316. just curious what the answer is
  317.  
  318. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Shrug#7659
  319. the barrenness of 18 / 19 game to mind right away
  320.  
  321. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Shrug#7659
  322. came
  323.  
  324. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Coconut#8762
  325. I think the sheer amount of offensive options
  326.  
  327. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] levi#6206
  328. no gastbra or fake foo
  329.  
  330. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] levi#6206
  331. r the biggest ones i think
  332.  
  333. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] brewfasa#4532
  334. abra I think is big yeah
  335.  
  336. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Coconut#8762
  337. no gastbra
  338.  
  339. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] Coconut#8762
  340. is huge
  341.  
  342. [22-Feb-20 06:22 PM] levi#6206
  343. well even gastly could sub on stuff
  344.  
  345. [22-Feb-20 06:23 PM] Coconut#8762
  346. stalling turns is more challenging
  347.  
  348. [22-Feb-20 06:23 PM] Shrug#7659
  349. even something like mag gave u a pix switchin and turns
  350.  
  351. [22-Feb-20 06:23 PM] Shrug#7659
  352. w volt
  353.  
  354. [22-Feb-20 06:23 PM] levi#6206
  355. there might be smaller stuff too but im not as comfortable banking on them yea
  356.  
  357. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Coconut#8762
  358. I think if we're moving forward with a qb or suspect
  359.  
  360. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Coconut#8762
  361. it should probably be veils
  362.  
  363. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] levi#6206
  364. uh
  365.  
  366. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] levi#6206
  367. we could just formally vote on both veil and zig
  368.  
  369. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Coconut#8762
  370. ziggy reminds me of BW.
  371.  
  372. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] levi#6206
  373. ig
  374.  
  375. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Coconut#8762
  376. in a lot of ways
  377.  
  378. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Shrug#7659
  379. i will put my biases on the table: i dont "like" veils and wouldnt have been sad if we banned it gen 7
  380.  
  381. [22-Feb-20 06:24 PM] Shrug#7659
  382. but now it rlly is something different
  383.  
  384. [22-Feb-20 06:25 PM] Shrug#7659
  385. as other ppl have articulated
  386.  
  387. [22-Feb-20 06:27 PM] levi#6206
  388. reminder that at least one council member (tazz) thought it was busted in sm too
  389.  
  390. [22-Feb-20 06:27 PM] levi#6206
  391. @tazz
  392.  
  393. [22-Feb-20 06:27 PM] levi#6206
  394. 😠
  395.  
  396. [22-Feb-20 06:39 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  397. veils felt a little like old gens baton pass teams last gen
  398.  
  399. [22-Feb-20 06:39 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  400. like it was agreed that it was an unskillful archetype of a team
  401.  
  402. [22-Feb-20 06:39 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  403. and you had to go out of your way to actually make sure you dont lose to it
  404.  
  405. [22-Feb-20 07:06 PM] starmaster#8286
  406. i def wouldnt call osh's team
  407.  
  408. [22-Feb-20 07:06 PM] starmaster#8286
  409. over prepped for veils
  410.  
  411. [22-Feb-20 07:06 PM] starmaster#8286
  412. how is lo cottonee even good vs veil
  413.  
  414. [22-Feb-20 07:06 PM] starmaster#8286
  415. its fucking bad vs veil
  416.  
  417. [22-Feb-20 07:06 PM] starmaster#8286
  418. idt his team was good vs veil at all
  419.  
  420. [22-Feb-20 07:45 PM] Ninja#8225
  421. it looked like a Heysup team
  422.  
  423. [22-Feb-20 07:46 PM] Ninja#8225
  424. ig pawn gunk is ok vs veils
  425.  
  426. [22-Feb-20 07:46 PM] Ninja#8225
  427. I’d rather get rid of veils than Zig though I hated veils in SM too
  428.  
  429. [22-Feb-20 07:47 PM] Ninja#8225
  430. I don’t rly think they contribute positively
  431.  
  432. [22-Feb-20 07:50 PM] levi#6206
  433. it would be an apix ban not a veil ban
  434.  
  435. [22-Feb-20 07:50 PM] levi#6206
  436. right
  437.  
  438. [22-Feb-20 07:51 PM] hongli#4483
  439. well snover + ice cream mon veils aren't really the issue
  440.  
  441. [22-Feb-20 07:51 PM] hongli#4483
  442. so yeah
  443.  
  444. [22-Feb-20 08:00 PM] LilyAC#7887
  445. itd just be hail veil vanillite
  446.  
  447. [22-Feb-20 08:01 PM] LilyAC#7887
  448. but thats just a worse screens cutie
  449.  
  450. [22-Feb-20 08:09 PM] Luthier#1578
  451. agree with lily on this one
  452.  
  453. [22-Feb-20 08:09 PM] Luthier#1578
  454. manual screens seems so ass
  455.  
  456. [22-Feb-20 08:09 PM] Luthier#1578
  457. that extra turn needed to set up the screens is so bad for tempo
  458.  
  459. [22-Feb-20 09:01 PM] Serene Grace#5243
  460. i thought oshs team was bad vs veils
  461.  
  462. [22-Feb-20 09:02 PM] levi#6206
  463. why is gunk good against veil
  464.  
  465. [22-Feb-20 09:03 PM] Serene Grace#5243
  466. its not
  467.  
  468. [22-Feb-20 09:03 PM] Serene Grace#5243
  469. its good against shellder thats about it
  470.  
  471. [22-Feb-20 09:07 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  472. i think the idea is to get webs up and set up gunk
  473.  
  474. [22-Feb-20 09:07 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  475. and then its good vs veils besides vullaby

  481. it's a bit limiting in how you can use it. I think it's good but some matchups are just fuckin impossible for it
  482.  
  483. [22-Feb-20 09:49 PM] Quote#9846
  484. veil is super good though because we have so many stupid abusers and not enough reliable counterplay

  500.  
  501. [22-Feb-20 09:50 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  502. or are we actually trying to make the tier enjoyable this time around
  503.  
  504. [22-Feb-20 09:50 PM] LilyAC#7887

  536. foo wasnt that big of a hold up
  537.  
  538. [22-Feb-20 09:51 PM] levi#6206
  539. mainly gastbra ya
  540.  
  541. [22-Feb-20 09:51 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  542. you needed to be 24/15 foo to have a chance at not dying to zig

  545. fake out was rly nice tho
  546.

  554. now we're missing gastly/abra/staryu, right
  555.  
  556. [22-Feb-20 09:53 PM] Coconut#8762
  557. no magnemite

  578. no z moves makes it harder as well
  579.  
  580. [22-Feb-20 09:54 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  581. veils made it possible to run z moves on stuff like shellder too though
  582.  
  583. [22-Feb-20 09:54 PM] Coconut#8762
  584. I think that's pretty minuscule in comparison
  585.  
  586. [22-Feb-20 09:54 PM] Coconut#8762
  587. because it helped the veil user
  588.  
  589. [22-Feb-20 09:54 PM] Coconut#8762
  590. as much as it did the non-veiler
  591.  
  592. [22-Feb-20 09:54 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  593. z move shellder has a really hard time setting up w/o veils
  594.  
  595. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  596. like you get ohkoed by spritz moonblast
  597.  
  598. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] Quote#9846
  599. yeah it helped both sides but it's still one less tool for the non-veil side
  600.  
  601. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  602. one less tool
  603.  
  604. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] BurntZebra#8147

  617. im not sure where my analogy was going
  618.  
  619. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] Coconut#8762
  620. NP Spritz wasn't really an issue with veils last gen
  621.  
  622. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] Coconut#8762
  623. but now I'd say it's pretty prevalent
  624.  
  625. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  626. im not talking about np spritz
  627.  
  628. [22-Feb-20 09:55 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  629. well
  630.  
  631. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  632. i think my favorite veils team
  633.  
  634. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  635. was the magby spritz one
  636.  
  637. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  638. probably because it sort of dealt with the common problems with veils
  639.  
  640. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] levi#6206
  641. np sprit was quite good on veils last gen too
  642.  
  643. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] levi#6206
  644. worse than it is this gen for the reasons veils in general isnt as good i think
  645.  
  646. [22-Feb-20 09:56 PM] levi#6206
  647. err

  656. eh
  657.  
  658. [22-Feb-20 09:57 PM] BurntZebra#8147

  667. [22-Feb-20 09:57 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  668. or well
  669.  
  670. [22-Feb-20 09:58 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  671. 100% to ohko
  672.  
  673. [22-Feb-20 09:58 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  674. but 50% to not get hit in the process
  675.  
  676. [22-Feb-20 11:48 PM] Serene Grace#5243
  677. as it stands I think id vote no ban on veils and zigzagoon

  687.  
  688. [22-Feb-20 11:52 PM] levi#6206
  689. I don’t think ziggy should rlly be considered until we’ve dealt w veils based on responses so far
  690.  
  691. [22-Feb-20 11:52 PM] levi#6206
  692. I’d prefer qb
  693.  
  694. [22-Feb-20 11:52 PM] hongli#4483
  695. there is a ton of stuff that i wish we could do sooner though

  698. Just bc it’s faster
  699.  
  700. [22-Feb-20 11:52 PM] hongli#4483

  711.  
  712. [23-Feb-20 12:21 AM] brewfasa#4532
  713. it’s def not qb level
  714.  
  715. [23-Feb-20 12:26 AM] starmaster#8286
  716. agreed
  717.  
  718. [23-Feb-20 01:02 AM] levi#6206
  719. i do think its qb level
  720.  
  721. [23-Feb-20 01:03 AM] levi#6206
  722. i think it exacerbates mu issues way too much if youre weak to any of the veil abusers
  723.  
  724. [23-Feb-20 01:04 AM] brewfasa#4532
  725. this isnt something thats sweeping the meta
  726.  
  727. [23-Feb-20 01:04 AM] brewfasa#4532
  728. its not as easily abusable as even floon
  729.  
  730. [23-Feb-20 01:04 AM] levi#6206
  731. a veil team isnt going to have a more than 50% win rate against other good teams probably but it feels like most games are either going to be 80%+ or 20%- in mu
  732.  
  733. [23-Feb-20 01:04 AM] brewfasa#4532
  734. and thats qb for u?
  735.  
  736. [23-Feb-20 01:04 AM] brewfasa#4532
  737. after admitting that
  738.  
  739. [23-Feb-20 01:05 AM] brewfasa#4532
  740. there is absolutely no basis to qb this rn
  741.  
  742. [23-Feb-20 01:05 AM] levi#6206
  743. and while i think that was fine when veils was a mid-low tier strategy in sm, i dont think its reasonable for a top tier strategy
  744.  
  745. [23-Feb-20 01:05 AM] levi#6206
  746. i do think thats a qb yea
  747.  
  748. [23-Feb-20 01:05 AM] brewfasa#4532
  749. where are u getting this 80/20 shit

  791. even w/o the numbers
  792.  
  793. [23-Feb-20 01:07 AM] levi#6206
  794. a veil team isnt going to have a more than a roughly even win rate overall* against other good teams probably, but it feels like most individual* games massively favour either the veil team or the opposition, based on the veil team's selected abusers, to a much larger degree than other archetypes
  795.  
  796. [23-Feb-20 01:07 AM] brewfasa#4532
  797. what is "other good teams"
  798.  
  799. [23-Feb-20 01:08 AM] levi#6206
  800. non-veil thats solid
  801.  
  802. [23-Feb-20 01:08 AM] brewfasa#4532
  803. how can u say good teams have an even win rate and then say they dont
  804.  
  805. [23-Feb-20 01:08 AM] brewfasa#4532
  806. in the same sentence

  823. [23-Feb-20 01:10 AM] brewfasa#4532
  824. overall it doesnt have a good wr

  840.  
  841. [23-Feb-20 01:10 AM] brewfasa#4532
  842. would equate to overall wr

  845. ok
  846.  
  847. [23-Feb-20 01:10 AM] levi#6206
  848. it averages to 50% so its not too strong in that sense
  849.  
  850. [23-Feb-20 01:10 AM] brewfasa#4532
  851. that is way easier to say than what u were sauing
  852.  
  853. [23-Feb-20 01:10 AM] levi#6206
  854. but its a matchup fisher way more than anything else
  855.  
  856. [23-Feb-20 01:11 AM] levi#6206
  857. i personally think this is already clear cut enough to warrant a qb

  874. [23-Feb-20 01:12 AM] brewfasa#4532
  875. im tryna wrap my mind
  876.  
  877. [23-Feb-20 01:12 AM] brewfasa#4532
  878. veils is entire archetype too
  879.  
  880. [23-Feb-20 01:12 AM] levi#6206
  881. haters
  882.  
  883. [23-Feb-20 01:12 AM] levi#6206
  884. floon wasnt broken
  885.  
  886. [23-Feb-20 01:12 AM] brewfasa#4532
  887. which we've been tryna save
  888.  
  889. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] Serene Grace#5243
  890. timburr getting defog is a big deal
  891.  
  892. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] Luthier#1578
  893. i think what levi is trying to say is that its an incredible mu fish fatty
  894.  
  895. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] Luthier#1578
  896. but when it gets the mu fish correct its over from the start
  897.  
  898. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] Luthier#1578
  899. if it doesnt, its over
  900.  
  901. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] Luthier#1578
  902. and roughly half the time it auto wins
  903.  
  904. [23-Feb-20 01:14 AM] brewfasa#4532
  905. ye i get that now
  906.  
  907. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] brewfasa#4532
  908. he was just making it extra confusing
  909.  
  910. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] hongli#4483
  911. defog is incredibly easy to work around on timburr
  912.  
  913. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  914. im still on the edge about
  915.  
  916. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] hongli#4483
  917. for pix
  918.  
  919. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  920. if it being qb'ed or suspected
  921.  
  922. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  923. im not sure which would work better
  924.  
  925. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] hongli#4483
  926. just put timburr to sleep or disable it like you've been running
  927.  
  928. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] brewfasa#4532
  929. its rly not as easy as ur making it out to be
  930.  
  931. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] levi#6206
  932. qb faster suspect slower
  933.  
  934. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] brewfasa#4532
  935. imo
  936.  
  937. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  938. either way i do believe that it should be abnned
  939.  
  940. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] levi#6206
  941. i dont want another two weeks of this in the meta 😭
  942.  
  943. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  944. like i think the community would agree
  945.  
  946. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  947. the thing about levi takes is that i will never understand him cuz
  948.  
  949. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  950. hes serious half the time
  951.  
  952. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  953. ex; veils
  954.  
  955. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] Luthier#1578
  956. but then he was like
  957.  
  958. [23-Feb-20 01:15 AM] levi#6206
  959. meta disc hasnt done much but its p much universally pro-ban from what i read
  960.  
  961. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] levi#6206
  962. i mightve missed sth tho
  963.  
  964. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  965. no i dont want drif to be banned
  966.  
  967. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  968. like???
  969.  
  970. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] levi#6206
  971. well
  972.  
  973. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] hongli#4483
  974. he was serious then too
  975.  
  976. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Serene Grace#5243
  977. meta disc doesnt vote
  978.  
  979. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] levi#6206
  980. the issue w drifloon is that
  981.  
  982. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] levi#6206
  983. it isnt broken
  984.  
  985. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  986. ok anyways
  987.  
  988. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] brewfasa#4532
  989. i also agree community would be pro ban
  990.  
  991. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  992. all i wanted to say is that either way i think veils should be banned because i think its unfair and not competitive and doesnt stimulate thought
  993.  
  994. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] brewfasa#4532
  995. but that sometimes stems from just not wantign to deal w/ shit
  996.  
  997. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  998. and because i want it banned either way
  999.  
  1000. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] Luthier#1578
  1001. i want it done as soon as possible
  1002.  
  1003. [23-Feb-20 01:16 AM] brewfasa#4532
  1004. which admittedly i would rather not deal w/ veils
  1005.  
  1006. [23-Feb-20 01:17 AM] brewfasa#4532
  1007. in builder
  1008.  
  1009. [23-Feb-20 01:17 AM] Luthier#1578
  1010. because its affecting the current meta
  1011.  
  1012. [23-Feb-20 01:17 AM] Luthier#1578
  1013. so i am in favor of the quick ban but
  1014.  
  1015. [23-Feb-20 01:17 AM] brewfasa#4532
  1016. but from matches so far do i rly think its broken? nah
  1017.  
  1018. [23-Feb-20 01:17 AM] Luthier#1578

  1287.  
  1288. [23-Feb-20 01:26 AM] Luthier#1578
  1289. cuz fimp is the strongest prior in the meta that hits it

  1420. [23-Feb-20 02:00 AM] levi#6206
  1421. I do not think that apix veils is "too strong" in the sense that you disadvantage yourself by not using apix. However, I do think that the support it offers is comfortably beyond any other move, mon, or archetype in terms of forcing matchup issues, and that it is banworthy on those grounds. Being able to double a mon's defenses dramatically reduces the amount of counterplay for any offensive abuser, frequently shrinking them to just a couple of checks in the case of the most powerful abusers. The important bit is how any offensive abuser can benefit - Spritzee, Vullaby, Shellder, Zigzagoon, and Rufflet are probably the most prominent, and while a team can be built to acommodate for some of them behind veils, the reduced pool of checks for each of these behind veils means that you'll almost surely not be able to avoid being easily swept by all of them. Compare the degree of either how much harder a mon is to check or how easily a mon can abuse veils to, say, webs. Veils itself has more counterplay because it's temporary and broken by brick break, and in general, a veils team probably isn't going to have a more than a roughly even win rate on average against other good teams. However, it feels like most individual games will massively favour either the veils team or the opposition, based on the veil team's selected abusers, to a much larger degree than can be said for other archetypes.

  1429. [23-Feb-20 02:27 AM] Quote#9846
  1430. that argument somewhat feels contradictory to me. The argument seems like it either wins hard or loses hard, but somehow will end up being about even? That doesn't sound like a very good strategy to me.
  1431.  
  1432. [23-Feb-20 02:28 AM] Quote#9846
  1433. I understand the argument that it might not have a lot of counterplay, but if that's the case then it's clearly broken.
  1434.  
  1435. [23-Feb-20 02:31 AM] Quote#9846
  1436. If you have to play/build sub-optimally to beat it, then that's a problem with the strategy.
  1437.  
  1438. [23-Feb-20 02:32 AM] Quote#9846
  1439. I personally don't have a problem with tilted matchups in games. It's a natural occurrence in competitive games and there are risks associated with simply having good or bad matchups
  1440.  
  1441. [23-Feb-20 02:39 AM] levi#6206
  1442. im saying it’s more prominent at forcing mus than the other available strategies
  1443.  
  1444. [23-Feb-20 02:40 AM] levi#6206
  1445. also wdym 50% against other top tier strategies isn’t very good
  1446.  
  1447. [23-Feb-20 02:42 AM] levi#6206
  1448. like is massive mu fishing not banworthy anymore
  1449.  
  1450. [23-Feb-20 02:42 AM] levi#6206

  1452.  
  1453. [23-Feb-20 05:42 AM] Quote#9846
  1454. I don't really get the vibe of it forcing MUs other than bringing a thing or two to deal with it and playing properly.
  1455.  
  1456. [23-Feb-20 05:43 AM] Quote#9846
  1457. and yea 50% against some top strats isn't bad but that just makes it good, not amazing.
  1458.  
  1459. [23-Feb-20 05:44 AM] Quote#9846

  1496.  
  1497. [23-Feb-20 08:11 PM] BurntZebra#8147
  1498. i think apix has a bad presence on the meta
  1499.  
  1500. [23-Feb-20 08:11 PM] BurntZebra#8147
