Life is hard
Cause I'm not there.
Cuz he can't land a q, and completely abandons in me a in vital 5v5 fight because "I'm low on health." (which we won anyways mind you, but took loses way higher than we should of, and I died directly as a result of that. Difference between a 4-0 and a 4-3 fight).
Waaaaaat
I missed one Q that would have gotten a kill. But still got the flash off of him. Idk if that's really the worst thing in the world. Also that fight wasn't 5v5, I had 1/3 health, no cooldowns, and was with the Braum who had 100 hp and no CDs, we were running, and you ult in far behind me. That's not a 5v5, and there's nothing I coulda done to save you there.
I played badly that game, but those were not good examples. General z0r pls
I'd rather have him stream League, this way I can watch. If he waits for X-Com then it'll only be available on VoDs and I don't want to slack more than I already do at work.
Turns out after picking Irelia back up she skyrockets into my highest winrate since Vi before pussy-meta and early s3 Leona. And is my only champ with k>d, apart from Pantheon ('cause only played one 13-5-2 loss with him). Not sure what to think. ._. Am I a 1.5-trick pony since s1?

That's not very nice to 12 year olds.
"Here Wave, let's sit you down right here next to this burning car where an enemy is hiding behind another car across from you, and you will never get a clear shot from this angle because GEOMETRY. Man, if Wave died my squad is going to suck, so you're important to me, Wave! OMG THE CAR EXPLODED!?"
The thing that was really bad was by retreating that far Lucian started backing up too. If he had been there earlier, we still probably would have won 4-1, 4-2. Trust me, suiciding effectively is my specialty.
Panth also flashed *before* you qed, so missing it is on you. Also if you had just changed your angle, he never would have gotten out in the first place (most likely). Also shoving up the wave when I said "don't bother" caused the waves to be in the wrong place when I got back, so uber consumable Panth shoved me out of lane by spamming his q, which meant he could roam mid with his ult easily (because he hit 6 first and I wasn't there). I mean this is all little stuff, but if you fix the early game problems you don't have to worry about blowing stuff late nearly as much because you'll be up 6-0 instead of down 0-3 10 minutes into the game.
There is basically no progression in this game. You play a few character for a few chapters... and POOF THEY ARE GONE AND NOW YOU PLAY THESE ONES INSTEAD BECAUSE FUCK YOU. It's really, really dumb.
I understand it's a sequel, but to bring out PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER FROM THE PREVIOUS GAME IS A TERRIBLE DECISION AND WHOEVER CHOSE TO DO THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT AND SHOT. Like, OK, Ike and Elincia I can understand, because they were some of the main characters in Path of Radiance. But Gatrie? Shinnon? Nephenee? Brom? Haar? Marakov?
I loved RD. I don't mind your characters disappearing, the game isn't about leveling your characters and becoming powerful and stuff, it's about looking at the mission at hand and devising strategies and tactics given the tools you have. You are a slave to what you imagine an FE game to be, Sufficiency.

Complaining about Nephenee? What is your major malfunction?

I've never had more than a couple so it's hard to wager how many it takes to get drunk(also because I never just drink Guinness so I can't judge based on that either).
I think they taste alright, not good not bad, but I drink them how you're supposed to(really fast) and never have curdling problems. It probably tastes fucking horrid if you don't get it down fast. I've watched a guy who can't chug to save his fucking life try to 'man up' and finish his out of principle and he started gagging something fierce, so that's what I judge it on.

No that's not the point. In fact, I think Radiant Dawn would be a far better game if there is no EXP system at all and no characters can grow in level and power.
The problem with Radiant Dawn, I feel, is the "negative possibility space".
let's look at these two (I don't even have the stats for Geoffrey anymore, but I think his stats are probably even better than Oscar's)
It looks to me that unless Fiona grows like crazy (which she does not, I saw her leveling once), there is essentially no way she will surpass Oscar or Geoffrey. At most she will be comparable to them, but with higher magic (which does almost nothing, by the way, beyond increasing her self-heal).
This is really bad because she joins pretty late but she is a non-promoted unit and she fills a unique role (the only chevalier on my roaster when she joins). This gives me an impression that if I spend the time to train her (it would be hard because she joins late and this game is pretty hard), she will be really good. But of course this is not the case and I might as well just ditch her for Oscar or Geoffrey. But guess what? I wouldn't know that for another 20+ hours of gameplay.
This is the problem. The problem is that the game seems to present me with a choice, but only to tell me hours later my choice was utter garbage. In fact Fiona can't even do that "end-game" level well because it's an in-door level and she cannot scale on walls.
I see that Meg may suffer from the same problem, but at least she specializes in swords and no other Generals use swords (Gatrie and T-something use lance, Brom use Axe now for some odd reason). Fiona is a bit difference because she has two direct competitions on her.
I wonder if it'll be the same for Edward. There are too many swordmasters in the game.

I've never drank Guinness ever, so idk how strong it is in comparison, since darker beer tends to get me drunker faster i noticed but i dunno.
I know youre supposed to drink really fast so you dont get the curdling, but aside from that ive always wanted to try one lolol.

I thought knights promoted into generals? Or is that game different
In general pre-promote units are traps and should never be used tbh. Only real exceptions that I can think of right off are Jaffar from FE7(he's 1 point from strength and he's pretty fast too) and Seth from FE8, who starts off high in stats and has good growths too.
