-Change the blaster rule.
-How can you make 1vs1 in EUR if the server does not work?
And not having EUR server and doing everything in US will be unfair...

Contri saying they are official makes them official.
There was 0 competition in this game and the developers didn't give a shit about the PvP (and looks like it's happening the same with PvE now) so the community had to do everything and set their own official competition

PS: Zainj kill yourself.

Fine w/e. It's not like it matters if it's called official or not.

No Blaster line other than normal damage
This rule is pretty silly when Chaos/BK is banned. That's why people frequently consider them so OP - you can buff up their damage a lot but unlike Valiance you can't use Ancient Plate or super UVs to tank it.

Good luck, anyhow! I'm too distant from the LD community nowadays, especially now that Eu games are so uncommon and you always have to deal with lag.

Specialised blasters have the same damage as Valiance. In many cases, specialised blasters will do exactly the same damage as Valiance e.g. in the case of Arcana and Valiance vs Chaos. Riftlocker and Phantomos will do 25 more damage in that scenario.

Class sets have the same specialised defence as glass cannon sets and 140 normal defence, so the difference between Valiance and Phantomos on Snarbolax will be about 20 damage, while Arcana would do about 40 more than Valiance. However, this is only on high damage bonuses, which is why blasters are perceived as overpowered strong. That, and people only invest in normal UVs.

Since blaster damage is pretty low without bonuses, base defence (100) is around the threshold between linear damage reduction and the fancier logarithmic reduction. This means that only a small amount of any additional defence is significant; extensive defence stacking becomes redundant quickly. In the case of Valiance vs class sets, your defence is well beyond threshold values when the Valiance is at no damage bonus.

For your reference

I challenge Boss-Pnxdz

Challenging Boss-Pnxdz

I am also questioning why he was placed on the leader boards as Boss and Murderhaze haven't dueled.
Quoting this rule: "Challenge the very last person on the rankings and link your YouTube page. Free slots? First come, first served."
Maybe I misunderstood the rule, but I thought you have to challenge the last person on the leaser boards regardless of whether or not there are free slots.
