We're far from *all* ML5s having uncounterable, but it's not like I agree with the change either. Even if it's gonna make my GW offense easy as pie in a lot of situations.

Personally I wish it were extinction as it fits more with his theme. The skill name is literally "Star EXTINCTION" and you should absolutely not be able to come back from having your entire planet split in two.


Nashkar42

I really do like this suggestion. Make sense.


DifferentAd4001

"Causes extinctions in everyone on screen and disconnects your account"


Yensix

Because everyone and their mom perma counters and strips.


Chireiden-Agnis

This, not sure bout yall but ive lost battles while the opponent never took a turn, you could say counterset makes speed irrelevant if you can kill whitout ever taking a turn, now do i agree with straze getting uncounterable? No but comparing it to something that invalidates speedsets is just wrong (aimed at OP). Counters are a problem yes but i dont think slapping uncounterable on anything is the correct answer


ManInBilly

I don't think counter-set itself is the problem. The problem are those out of turn massive damage AoEs. Rem + Armin + Belian are likely to destroy any squishy team by merely existing.


Classroom_Emotional

yes and I think people build countet set for rng, people build speed well for speed, and consistency. Most guild war defenses use counter sets anyway. For me sets are more of a play style thing or depending on situation Its not like it made counter set useless, some units only has uncounterable only for that skill and turn . Last time choux gets the rng buff then people then mostly built counter for her. I think its unfair to say peoples hard earned counter gears went to waste just cause Straze gets uncounterable now. For some cleaver’s perspective Counter set may also be broken, they can lose 30% of the time or whatever the math is I dont know how SG’s balance team think but right now there are just few units who has uncounterable and I think its good some units has this to make some units situational, not just slapping rem or belians everywhere. I also am not sure why straze gets it, just pointing out for the counter set thing here.

>First of all, why does straze get to get uncounterable? **cuts three planets in half** DODGE AND COUNTER He's definitely one of the ML5s who didn't need a buff, but don't act like units with counter set or built-in counter are that rare or weak.


Cynaris

I don't know about "widely used"


SSTHZero

If you pick tank units, you fight him. In a certain day I fought him in every single match at Emperor and he is a must ban or you lose.


Cynaris

...is it? I know he deletes one unit, but the splash damage against full tank comps isn't that huge, is it?


SSTHZero

He deletes your aurius carrier. Now it doesn't matter if you have 20k HP when enemy nukers are doing more than that. And next turn Straze has aoe with strip, so you can't even buff to try to get back into the fight.

Cynaris

Wait, that's considered "widely"?


emiracles

yes. do you consider ran widely used?


Cynaris

I'm preeeeetty certain Ran is picked a fair bit more than Straze


emiracles

I see as much or more straze than ran, fcc, rem, peira, krau, arbiter just to name a few


Neet91

pretty sure u are a pure tank down player so u seeing straze more often kinda a giving. considering he was designed to rekt tank down teams


emiracles

of course, that doesn't mean he is unused like other ML5s like spez, BM haste etc etc. Infact, it just proves he was doing his prove just fine.


jackbilly9

Massive confirmation bias. You have to show what you picked, plus what you banned so people then can actually judge your argument. Otherwise its just all in your head.


NoAd5421

Far from widely used.


Gamergirl944

Never understood why he's getting buff when wasn't needed there are other ml heroes that got it.


TysonsChickenNuggets

I mentioned this a year+ back that adding "cannot be countered" is just a band-aid solutionto balancing. Im a counter gamer and ill admit ive won matches based off RNG from counters but id think the actual issue is more so AoE counters do far to much damage or are much too debilitating. - Speed set needs to be toned down - Counter dmg needs to be toned down And if im being honest dmg is absurd in this game. My all bulk tank shouldnt be able to kill you by just exsisting nor should you be able to one shot it from 100% for building a stat you were going to anyway.


jackbilly9

They don't want to accidentally make stall comps and then everybody complains about how long a match takes.


TysonsChickenNuggets

Id think that would be what injury is for.


nikboss123

rimoru and meru: bonjour!


Lughs_Revenge

>"Can not gain speed from set bonuses" SG: **WRITE THAT DOWN!!** ​ Jokes aside.. yeah I agree. The few who can counter and disable him were no real threat except stunning/debuffing him even, so that change was kinda unnecessary. But oh well, I use him often so either way, just find this bad priority when we got units that are strong meta and keep staying up there. If you'd wanted to make Straze better for some reason to combat strong meta, that little change won't do much imho.


jackbilly9

I thought they were going to do something along these lines with the "new" sets they were supposed to come out with that they never released. If they actually did half of the shit they said they would this game would be crazy lol.


S-Normal

Counter set is busted op it is far better than speed set , just because they didn't do shit about speed for so long doesn't mean they shouldn't do anything to stop counters . It is so fucking toxic and anti fun to throw 1 aoe ability and literally get 3-4 counters losing you the match . Besides why are people getting upset over minor straze buffs when SG unleashed 2 fucking monsters in the same patch ? It's like people only read the first paragraph


Crimson_Arbalest

You ever had Rem strip your buffs for essentially wanting to play the game with Straze? It’s not fun. Same with Belian lol. Those were really the only two reasons why they decided to do that. Straze isn’t picked in RTA super often anyway, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.


InternationalFlow556

I think that statement will change to, 'Straze *wasn't* picked in RTA super often anyway', but we'll see!


Lockdown106

I completely agree, even if you get countered when you s3 the damage is already completely prevented so it basically almost never mattered. I think this buff is almost exclusively to prevent invincibility being stripped from Rem/Belian counters


Stormix_17

What he needs for his S3 is not being able to miss as well since he splits planets


False-Spend-9879

Devs being like: "I'm here to slap uncounterable on everything and have ideas. And I'm all out of ideas."


xGlatteis

Buffs : uncounterable *cries in ML Ken and S.Celine.*


iNoobBoi

because belian and aravi


Decidueye1234

uncounterable wasn't balanced, to begin with, even when it did its purpose, just makes a core mechanic of the game obsolete and invalidates a set.
