#i'm normally positive but tbh that shit grinds my gears

Not to be controversial on main, but I really hate posts about 'unshippable' muses and roleplaying anything other than romance, and that comes from a place of seeing those posts all the time; often to the detriment and shame of people who may only roleplay for romance and/or smut. From personal experience, more often than not, it creates an atmosphere where people become too frightened to approach people about potential ships and end up being weird about it ooc. Just state your boundaries on the tin rather than making vague illusions to it in your reblogs. I'm someone who fucking loves ships; I have a deep, vested interest in them. I also love platonic ships. I really hate the weird puritanical nonsense of 'uwu, i am above base shipping!' yeah ok shut up.

So since I've seen people doing mhw monster tier lists, here's mine!

I'm also gonna go over my top tiers (S+) and low tiers (E-):

Bazel (seething and normal): my blasty babies, i can AND WILL kill for both of them. Theres a reason I have both of their complete armor sets after all, despite them not helping much. Plus his theme is fucking AMAZING!!!!! I just wish seething stayed an invader, I loved when bazel just showed up during quests.

S tier

Dodogama: Obvious reasons, plus I love his fight.

Nergi: his gear? Love. His fight? Love. His appearance? Love. By far my favorite fight base world, with how it becomes much easier the more you learn it, perfect example for a good monster.

Ruiner nergi: same with normal, except better fight and worse armor.

Banbaro: as a Hammer main, he's so much fun to fight, plus he's the perfect amount of goofy yet still cool. Just wish he wasn't an invader (THE WOOLY SNOW DINO SHOULDN'T BE IN A FUCKING VOLCANO FOR FUCK SAKE!!!)

Raging brachy: Damn is his fight fun! Difficult as hell (but not too insane) plus his gear is fucking AMAZING!!! I've grinded for his gear a shit ton, and still am not sick of him. The music for the final zone as well us amazing!

Safi: I love that we get to fight the adult version of xeno, and while color wise I prefer xeno I still love safi. It feels like they looked at normal and at xeno, saw what did and didn't work, and using the new improvements added in iceborne made a FANTASTIC fight! (Tbh I wish he was the final boss for iceborne, feel if would have fit, but still like it.)

E Tier

Jyuratodus: dumb fish, like lavisioth yet worse, overall an uncreative and uninteresting fight (plus his mud and the fact he's almost always in deep water combined with water blight is a pain in the ass.) At least beotodus isn't as bad.

Legiana: First of all, I hate iceblight so that alone makes me not like legi, plus the fact she's always in the air doesn't help. She always felt like the lamest and weakest of the 4 apex monsters in base world, and felt even more so upon iceborne.

Pink rath: never really liked the look of pink rath the color not suiting her personally. Fighg wise, she's just rath but more annoying, with pink rath and tempered rathian feeling almost the same.

Barioth: too fidgety and agile for it's size, made worse by it's annoying wind and ice blight attacks. Feels like they took the worst of narga and legi into one monster tbh.

Lavisioth: pretty much same as jyura, except stronger and even uglier. Having fought mhgu lavisioth, mhw one feels like a downgrade.

Kushala: I fucking HATE his fight. The constant flying (made worse for at and mr with flash resistence) combined with the giant annoying tornadoes capable of locking you out a zone or in a corner combined with his wind aura make him my least favorite elder dragon. The main reason he's not lower is cause I love his looks and concept.

Nightshade: just like normal paolumu but spamming sleep non stop. Low tier and forgettable as well as annoying.

Rajang: Combine the speed of odogaron, strength of deviljho, thunder blight, and constant bouncing when enraged (which lasts forever if you cant cut the tail. I play hammer so.....) and make it simultaneously too small to reliably hit and have moves with huge hitboxes and you got the hell that is rajang. At least his gear is nice.

Brute: same as tigrex which I'll talk about later, but at least his gear is awesome a d he has a better color, so he's higher.

Burn in hell Tier

Behemoth: Nothing but a blight causing constant pining tornado spamming tanky piece of shit. Looks ugly, is a pain to fight (of which in base world is recommend with how good his gear is) and his pain in the ass meteors, I hate him.

Shreaking legi: Everything bad about legi dialled up to 11, constant blights, never lands, and always has a normal legi following around. Just a pain in the fucking ass to fight with no positive difference.

And last but not least, Tigrex

FUCKING TIGREX

WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I FUCKING HATE THIS ANNOYING ASS PIECE OF SHIT BITCH!!!!!

Huge hitboxes? Check! Extreamly quick? Check! Giant aoe attacks? A million checks! Meh gear? Check! Ugly colors? Check. Meh design? Check (at least those last 2 fixed with brute). Ever since I first fought it in mh4u I fucking hated it, and on top of that it's a fucking invader, so I have to deal with it NON FUCKING STOP!!!!! FUCK TIGREX, MAY THIS UGLY ASS PIECE OF SHIT BASTARD BURN IN HELL FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY AAAAAAAAA-

Moral of the story? Bazel is amazing, and FUCK TIGREX!!!
