Going to join the Feller forces here.

Just watched a member of jempire (gasp) get 19k with mindless full combo flourish spam... again...

Watching people dance around with a brandish, dash toward me, i dodge behind them, fire at them, my bullet connects... then suddenly they swing at air and hit me from 6 blocks away.
I understand latency - learning how to dodge mindless flourish AT is doable. But with around 100 ping this shouldn't be an every game thing.

Polaris was bad enough, but the sheer amount of people abusing this crap is absurd.

"Wow, you got 20k in LD? you're amazing!"

"Nope, just brandish AT and low ping. I'm really not that good, just want to frustrate people and abuse the hell outa the mechanics of the game."

I can only play maybe 2-3 games before finding a player who abuses the brandish AT then immediately throw up in my mouth before quitting to play something else.

A big thank you goes out to all you AT champs! My SK play time is now down to near zero :). You're helping me kill off a hobby i used to enjoy.

Can I tempt you with the lovely world of being a bomber? We laugh at swords, AT or otherwise.

19k full combo is nothing... I can do 25k+ full combo...

I suggest you to be a Polaris is spammer, is really funny and watching people rage at you and insult your family will make you laugh and forget the other spammers.

LOL @ OP.

You can't expect people to adjust their playing style towards you..
Adapt yours towards how they play.

Be that against the current playstyle (Chaos clones) or towards one player.
You will have to do this every day, every game, untill the end of times.

My sweet blue

Imagine that against 20 ping ASI VH Brandish with argent/valiance/alchemers cutting your attacks with AT + random spam.

I have to face those players with 250 ping( in my best shape ) 350 in normal days, and still I'm usually AT the top.

There are players that are a joke, and I can make a list so long that can go around earth like 10 times, like my boneless...

...connection! He's talking about his connection. See, not only does it not have bones, but I hear Feller's connection is laggy.

Yeah Flood, sorry to hear bout your latency. But if the AT guys are predictable enough, if you get that latency fixed you can probably just hit either one of your Dashes to skedaddle in time to avoid it.

I don't like AT and I think it should be removed, but it is so funny to see you complainning about AT.

The first thing you do when you switch to your sentenza is to toggle AT on -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0V5mVEJJxE

So, it's ok if you use with your guns? But it sucks if brandish users use it? Sounds legit.
100 ms of ping is bad? I wish my latency was only 100. D:

I stopped using AT since the sprite update. I tried using it again for a game or two then stopped this past week. (made a player rage quit because of it, and I know how that feels. Pretty hypocritical of me)

Being beaten down by brandish AT disgusted me so much I don't want anything to do with it anymore. I've found that my survival rate has increased since I no longer rely on it (this was actually suggested to me a few months ago, but I was too stubborn to give it a try).

And I wasn't saying that 100ms was bad. I was saying that since I have 100 ping hitting me from 6 blocks away from a regular brandish swing is just ridiculous. I'm thankful for what I have.

That being said, LD has been good fun lately. Good people in my matches the past couple of days, so thanks SK community.

@Doctorspacebar
That plan sounds so good in theory :)

I fought against flood

He is not using it.

Is easy to recognize, specially with fast guns. Is almost impossible to get near to a player with AT + Valiance + Antigua line.

Sorry you haven't fully been enjoying your time in Lockdown recently, you've asked me before about my Acheron as to how i always seem to hit you. Besides connection, I have lots of ASI built into it.

For pure gun I've been rolling with Valiance, Storm, and Biohazard lately. More recently i've been sneaking a flourish into my gun loadouts to punish swordies when they miss or are too predictable.

I had a polaris rather then a supernova, but vendored it. That gun doesn't need to be in my hands.

Sentenza is my favorite gun Voza. It's highlighted in all my vids :).
