harming potions
« on: February 04, 2013, 02:34:19 pm »
I was wondering if we could ban the use of harming pots in e4 fights because they make things way too easy. Before this wasnt a problem because prot 4 armor would protect against it but now every pot does like 6 hearts of damage making them super op.
im too lazy too make one of these :/

I guess the way to go is spamming instant health splash potions on yourself.

Too bad your opponent can just hop in the splash from the healing potions. :p

Too bad you'd also take damage from your instant damage potions too.

Depends, there are certain ways you can throw the harming potions to avoid taking the damage.

Maybe ban potion effects in the Kanto elite, but still allow them in the Johto elite?

I think it's an interesting problem but raises a big question: What do we want from  elite fights? Do we want who can do the most damage in the shortest amount of time? Do we want an epic battle? Do we want a fight that uses strategy, thought and intellect as well as bronze and hardwork? To eliminate potions, we have to break down what we want the champion to be. Does it take real skill to spam potions? Does that take blood and sweat and hours of training? Is that what we want our champion to reflect?


Like I said, interesting question. I'll be sure to bring this up at the admin meeting.

I like this. And it would also provide a bridge in the difficulty between current Kanto elite and Johto elite, because they currently have the exact same rules.

I don't want to have a difference in rules with the elites personally, my view is elite is elite, there shouldn't be a difficulty curve or "elite junior division" when were make mention of the "best" pvpers on the server
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out.

Gyms in Johto are generally harder than Kanto. But, it was just a suggestion.

I'd support a ban on harming pots.
