Didn't even take the time nor do i care too decipher more of your nonsense man. Thanks for taking all that time though to type up some more negative nonsense per usual.

 

Never change, pookie.

Please close @IMAGIRL

This is getting no where again.

 

Pox in a nutshell

 

I always hated Shadowshank.
Like, always hated. It w

 

not gonna lie shadowshank creates some hardcore salt if you get something with him. but that isnt ever gonna happen if your opponent has any kind of detection. anything at all that might reveal him then bang u probs just wasted 76 nora or need to invest another 60 in order to get him the kill asap.

Does he piss people off? Yes
Is he some mindless guaranteed kill? no

Also @super71 for reference here's a list of spells that will almost always lead to a kill. 1 per faction for simplicity's sake

Savage Tundra: Swap
Ironfist Stronghold: Hammerstrike
K'thir Forest: Grimlics Bane
Underdepths: Mindslicer Boomerang
Forsaken Wastes: Essence Drain
Forglar Swamp: Pygmy Hippo Stampede
Shattered Peals: Electrostatic.... something
Sundered Lands: Quickening

Note this isn't close to all of them. nor are spells the only ways these factions have ways to do things like these. Almost the entire point of spells is that you're paying nora for an instant result that champions cannot provide, thats why there are so many spells that lead to kills that is the entire point of spells. Some of them have further utilities for example hammer strike might also just be disabling a champ for a turn in order to cap a font. but that 1 turn disable can also keep the unit there long enough for u to just kill it across those 2 turns you have where he's stuck where he is.

 

Buff IS

 

The spells you listed for ST, FS, SL, IS have a lot of variables after the spell goes off. I have defensed pygmy spell pretty easily (Blockade or terrain) versus defending Essence Drain. Quickening they still use up a lot of nora and AP. Overall I think it is the combo of FW having easy ways to have spell defense (In some cases for free) and the insta kills with it. If it were either or it would not be so bad.

 

YEAH!!!
Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about

 

don't forget about onus of kiergana!

 

in what way does essence drain not also cost a lot of nora and AP? if it doesnt cost u any AP then you're wasting it.

The variables of swap are entirely decided by the player. IS is just a stun doesnt work if its on an unstoppable unit, great dont cast it on unstoppable. same goes for stampede and blockade units. every spell has a certain set of variables in which it is more or less effective and essence drain is no different

 

I would of said mandate of sheoul for ud.

 

Ret innit

 

IS is op

 

Well this just shows how ready you are to defend your pov...
Leaving all of the readers with the idea that maybe your reasons are not as well based as they appear to be... Consequently being interpreted as....

Lol sacrificial dagger being meta

 

Maybe people just hate feeling like they have no real interaction in being destroyed. DMZ everywhere, can't do anything. Slow death, only specialized decks can do anything. Soulreave, negates the vast majority of counterplay defensive options(wasn't an issue before it became more wide-spread), having to decide between positioning so that you can actually do things or so that you can't be murdered with mobi.

I, personally, usually just feel like instantly surrendering against FW. I bet if you asked ten people, eleven would tell you they hate playing against FW. Its not fun. The issue could simply be the design of the faction. You can have plenty of flavor without making it so unbearably un-fun to play them. FW players have every right to have fun. But more then any other faction, since always, they do so at the expense of those they play against.

Except Voil. Firk the Voil.
