Mega Evolutions are actually good now in Pokemon GO

January 5, 2023December 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments buff, mega evolution, mega pokemon, pokemon

When Mega Evolutions first came out in Pokemon GO, the system was genuinely not very good at all. The costs to Mega Evolve were really high, they didn’t last very long and getting mega candy was genuinely a chore. However, these days, Mega Pokemon are way more accessible. To the point that they are actually worth using. They last longer The first major change to Mega Evolutions was to make them last longer. Originally, Mega Pokemon only lasted for four hours, before turning back to normal. This was changed to 8 hours, which gives players plenty more time, especially in… [Continue Reading]

On No Longer Worrying About Balance

September 15, 2022September 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments archons, balance, buff, helminth, new war, warframe

Back when Deimos first cane out, the infested room in the back of our ships was reworked. After obtaining a module from Son, one of the Entrati family on Deimos, we could rework the fleshy infested space into a way to, well, change things. By sacrificing a Warframe to the Helminth, we could take one of that Warframe’s abilities, then put it on another Warframe. The Helminth system ended up proving to be be quite popular. While it is a pain having to re-farm for Warframes we already had or needed to subsume, we gained the ability to be quite… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Rework Yareli

July 22, 2021July 15, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buff, rework, warframe, yareli

I’m going to honest here, Yareli isn’t that great a Warframe. She’s too small and cute to be chopping Grineer in half. But Yareli’s biggest problem is that, well, she doesn’t do that much. There’s no niche for Yareli to claw out for herself, and most other frames are more useful. But not all is lost. Digital Extremes are known to buff weaker Warframes. However, WHEN a Warframe gets reworked is often somewhat random. And if it’s not random, it’s close to a release date for a Warframe’s Prime variant. In the mean time though, I’d like to have a… [Continue Reading]

A Long List of Little Things I Want In Warframe

April 13, 2019April 11, 2019 Medic 0 Comments buff, MOA, quality of life, ramble, warframe

Ages ago, I had an idea for a series of articles about things I wanted. I sat on the idea for ages though because I honestly didn’t really know how to do it. The original article was going to be about Elder Scrolls 6, with me loudly arguing about wanting the game to happen in Elswyr or Black Marsh, simply because Bethesda have already pulled off incredibly cool, alien landscapes in previous games. Then it all fell apart when TES6 was teased at E3 because clearly it wasn’t going to be set in either place. At the same time, I… [Continue Reading]

Why are we buffing Medic again?

July 10, 2016 Medic 0 Comments buff, medic, meet your match, update

Hey, do any of you remember when I wrote an article explicitly saying to NOT buff Medic any more because as a class we’ll be too powerful and start to fuck with the meta of TF2? You know, this article? I clearly said in it to not buff Medic because he’s in a plenty good enough. Let me repeat myself. Medic is a super strong class that is pretty simple to play but very hard to be a pro at. Having a Medic on your team does not guarantee you victory, as a Medic can’t physically carry his team in… [Continue Reading]

Why Does Valve Keep Buffing Medic?

January 12, 2016 Medic 0 Comments battle medic, buff, criticism, medic, nerf, tough break

Do not buff Medic! No, seriously, don’t. That seems like an insane thing to say, considering I’ve been calling myself Medic, The Medic, BLU Medic and many other variations of the word for the past three or four years now, not to mention the fact that out of my 1700 hours of TF2, about 900 of them are as Medic. But hear me out for a moment. Medic is the most powerful class in the game. No one else has the pushing power capable of taking down sentries harmlessly. No one can stand in the way of an Ubercharged power… [Continue Reading]

Pyro has been reduced to a W+M1 machine

December 23, 2015 Night 0 Comments balance, buff, nerf, phlogistinator, pyro, w+m1

When news of Tough Break broke (mind the pun) I expressed how excited I was. That was mostly due to the plethora of balance changes, some of which many of us have been whining about for years and years (Half-Zatoichi crits, for one.) On first glance it really did seem like a nearly perfect update. In practice, though, you’ll find pubs flooded with Phlog Pyros. That’s because this update destroyed Pyro as we know it. All-Class – Base weapon switch speed changed from 0.67 seconds to 0.5 seconds … Pyro – Pyros like to collect rainbows! Extinguishing a teammate will… [Continue Reading]
