Trickster is my favorite Killer in DBD. Is he super strong? No. Is he the hardest Killer to master? No. Do I find him fun to play and play against? Yes. I find throwing knives at people extremely fun. I typically use them even when it's better to just M1. Why? Because it's fun and I like being a show-off. Why play optimally when you don't have much desire to win and you prefer to have fun instead?

I like his lore and design. I wish one of his other cosmetics were his default ones, though. I also question the designs of some of them xD; I'm not into K-Pop anymore but I used to be. I listened to music and watched shows with Bestie. That was a million years ago... I also was heavy into Visual Kei for a while so I just like stuff like that. I didn't have a favorite band but Bestie does - Dir En Grey. She LOVES the band so much. Her username is Deer in Gray because someone referred to her as that xD

I know people don't like Trickster and that's fine. What bothers me is people deciding how I'll play based on the Killer I'm playing. I'm usually pretty chill because I have the most fun just fucking around while playing him. I want to chase people, stab them a lot, hook them twice, and let them go. I don't go out of my way to ruin matches for the Survivors and I typically don't play like a dick or BM. I've had people say "Wow a Trickster with a personality!" Is that rare? If I do end up playing like a dick, it's because someone provoked me. I've caught Survivors griefing their teammates so I wasn't very nice to them. I've seen people ragequit over petty shit so I smacked them on the hook for ruining the match for everyone.

I recently hit 501 matches with Axl, and thought it would be fun to look at the distribution of characters in the tower as I got to that point.

This data comes from a 10-and-a-half-ish day period from roughly 08:45 September 13th to 23:30 September 23rd. Most of them are Floor 10 and a couple Celestial Challenges, with some Floor 8 and 9 from when I immediately started with Axl.

First, a graph of the raw numbers. Not much to say here, but it is an extremely uneven dataset.

Now, things get fucky. The distribution of the characters was so skewed that I had to split the pie chart into two pie charts, one with all characters who had more than 4% of the total matches, and one with all who had less than 4% respectively. The numbers don't perfectly line up, but whatever - this is the best I can do to make them all visible. (and nago still doesn't show up :p)

Here's the raw data, it was genuinely impossible to put in a pie graph with everything visible.

The most interesting thing about this data to me is that I-no, Jack-'O, and Johnny are so common, and that Nago and May are so uncommon. Johnny makes sense, he got crazy buffed so more people are playing him, however, as far as I know not much has changed about I-no and Jack-'O. I really didn't know anything about fighting them until these 501 matches due to how uncommon they were. I barely saw them, I-no especially. Nago and May I remember being EVERYWHERE, but they just kinda vanished I guess.

Not included here are the winrates because I fucked up when I sorted and didn't feel like putting them all back in the right place. Stand-outs are a 100% rate against May and a 0% rate against Nagoriyuki. I managed an average winrate of 55%, by some fucking miracle.

Slayer, of course, occupies the top spot for matches. I admit I have been seeking out matches with him - I know how to fight him, and his strength has attracted a lot of players who don't quite have a complete grasp of the fundamentals (or who just don't know how to fight Axl,) but this was never more than walking up to a terminal with a Slayer when first entering the Tower.

The takeaway from all of this? IT WAS HELL. ALMOST ALL OF THE TOP 9 CHARACTERS I FOUGHT ARE THOSE THAT WILL WIN AFTER TAKING NEUTRAL ONCE. FIGHT FOR A MINUTE AND LOSE BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM YOU ONCE. Was a lot of fun though! Don't let tierlist position keep you from playing the characters you love, and GO FUCKING PLAY AXL LOW.

All of this data was taken from RATING UPDATE. It's really cool go check it out.

the season 3 gio experience is doing increasingly fake chave trovao setups and realizing literally nobody besides gio mains actually know what the real ones are

Honest to god it's me and Millia players against the world. I get it now. Millia players get behind me- oh god. I'm sorry I forgot they took away the corner steal so you can't. Sorry. Please don't cry, I didn't mean to- aw man.

Watching a Splatoon 1 stream at this time of writing and thinking about the early days of Splatoon where it was fun the first few days, then it just got really bad really quickly. And then the E-Liters with Damage Up came and decided you're not allowed to have fun anymore.

Not gonna lie, I will miss it a little bit, there's a bunch of stages we'll never see again unless they bring it back for any future iterations and a couple of weapons and clothes that'll never see the light of day (The Squid Girl tunic for one) ever again.

But what I won't miss is the hideous meta. Apparently it's turned into an invincibility fiesta where you spam kraken and bubbler the most and that sounds terrifying.

The only thing I do not like about Splatoon 1 going is the fact that Moray Towers is among the last four before the servers shut down. That map should die and stay in Splatoon 2 and Smash Ultimate forever please and thanks.

slayer players are geniunely so stupid its amazing

theyll do 2K into their stupid stomp literally no matter why their stupid halfscreen punch didnt hit, even if they see you blocking low.

i just watched one stomp because i was too far away to hit. baby-tier behavior.

dead by daylight's lightburn was actually a really good mechanic but because it was the last vestiage of "certain items r specially good against certain character :)" it was axed and while in the process did make wraith and hag be in better places (probably, idk how the adjustment has been affecting hag and i didn't mention artist or spirit bcuz i have no idea how their buff from that is treating them >w>) they cld've removed wraith's unneccesary vulnerability and make hag reworked hag's traps without in the process buffing nurse and removing the actually really good idea of "since this item affects killers but some are way way less affected we can give them their own interactions!"

Nerfing P Mappa into being better and creating a favorable RPS where Slayer can counterhit you with one of his best fucking starters is exactly what I expect from Arc System Works when it comes to Guilty Gear Strive I'm not even a little shocked by that LMFAO
