site suggestion: we should be able to vote on builds

that way the better builds would hopefully bubble up to the top. theres some optimal builds that are pretty bad.

I feel like we should take away the "Optimal Build" part and just put "Possible Builds" so that way people aren't always trying to scurry trying to look for Distant Counter.

I don't care what the Optimal Build is, I'm not putting Distant Counter on Masked Marth. Doesn't really seem "optimal" in my opinion. -.-

Yeah. People(Not everyone, but a good bit) only look at the optimal build section, and don't try to make their own builds. And most of those builds use DC. Like, 75% if them. So possible builds is a better alternative.

Report

I agree. I feel like optimal is easily perceived as "this is what should be done" when the reality is builds will always be situational on what activity you're doing and what team you're running.

Report

Well it usually is the best way to make the most effective, optimal doesn't mean it's the only build you should use, if people can't realise that by themselves then they're idiots, there's plenty of builds right under them that they can use too lol

Report

Yeah, there are other builds, but "Optimal" usually means the best, so when practically every unit's (over exaggeration, I know, lol) Optimal Build is Distant Counter...

:l

But optimal also means the most expensive in my opinion. So why should I waste my resources, when my current set does what it is supposed to?
My example is Soliel. Optimal set-DC Slaying Edge. No thanks. I'll take my Wo Dao Draconic Arua Soliel.

You shouldn't if you don't want to, that doesn't make it any less optimal though, you people are literally just mad because you hate seeing optimal builds you can't use because you don't have the resources to waste on it. but those builds are there for the people who do want to invest that much because maybe it's their favourite unit and want to get the best usage out of it

Report

I'm not mad, and I have plenty of resources. It's just the optimal builds aren't always as optimal they seem. But if you really like the unit, go ahead and do as you wish.

"you people are literally just mad because you hate seeing optimal builds you can't use because you don't have the resources to waste on it."

Don't know if you even read my comment, but I'm not "literally" mad because I don't have the resources. I have two Hector's that I can fodder off for Distant Counter. I'm stating my opinion that Distant Counter is not always the most optimal A slot. While yes, Distant Counter is one of the most powerful A skills in the game, it's not always, in my opinion, the most optimal, which was my point.

Optimal means best, or most favored. Distant Counter is not always the best, and the "optimal" builds are definitely not always favored, especially if they're not being voted on.

Report

Distant Counter is favored over other A-Slots, but it's not the all around best. So I agree, and I do have the resources to do as I please with my units. And I don't hate optimal builds, I just don't like using them to much.

i believe they weigh being able to counter ranged units pretty highly so thats why distant counter is optimal on most builds and honestly i agree, it makes a big difference for many units to counter attack.

Yes, and be able to have at least 2 F2P suggestions, not just having 1 for some units and none for others.
