How dare you... I've defeated GM Jimmy. I am the most prolific PvPer in the game. I just really like Charlie's idea and honestly he should probably have an Emmy.

Amazingly great suggestions!

You neatly cherry picked... nevermind Offensively it creates a higher skill ceiling. Blazing bolt, if you're using this you already have a flatter skill curve. Im not going to go into all of rares strats current/old/and future just to try to convince a contrarian of something. Yes it is useful for more than just BFR (to Silent Method as well). Emps using it increases the skill ceiling as well, because emps can actually do more now and impact the game harder. Which in a meta with this stupid levels of damage, that's awesome. There's a reason why people cry when Xhiggy rings against them. I don't see heal timings being better now, but we don't have empirical evidence to support that, just my feeling from ringing and kickball. There are a lot of aspects to a good emp that people seem to just completely not understand. Crey only enhances that. Doing more is more impactful. The lower the team size the flatter the skill curve. I have no interest in debating 2v2s.

Completely disagree on this. I'd go as far as to say you're wrong. A good player using redraw animation cancellation vs a a bad player using redraw animation cancellation is a far bigger gap than both not using it. With the abilities being used currently there isn't a huge benefit to using it on say strangler or dominate your ending attacks in a spike. With it you add in the option to use things like BFR etc as extras or fit it in a chain that you normally wouldn't, now when it comes to good players using BFR vs bad players the bad player is still going to get himself/herself killed or be off target. A good player can relock onto a target enhancing the skill ceiling, the skill floor goes up but not at as high a rate as the ceiling does.

Redraw animation cancelling creates a larger skill ceiling so I can see why some people want to remove it. It only gives an advantage if you're good at it. We've seen people that can't reach the higher levels of the skill curve say things like "Melee is dead" "Bring back travel suppression" and this chirping sounds very much the same to me. If you dont understand what you're talking about it's probably best to actually get educated on the topic first.

Could you update this with players that have ACTUALLY emped in the last month? Thanks in advance.

The first 7 on my list are all Xhiggy

I'm pretty sure Hot has calculated everyone's defiance while he plays with them.

I know this has been very controversial, but I'll stoke the fires a bit more. Anyone that would even attempt to rank players without seeing PoVs (which are banned) would be an idiot, welp I'll be an idiot. Here is my list of top 10 offense that aren't on RARE or GBoTI (way too biased to include them). 1. MJB - One of the most versatile callers out there. Solid on any AT. 2. Gunrock - Strong calling or locking for Incursion, the backbone of that team that has one of the strongest offenses in the game. 3. Silent Method - Possibly the top evader on this list. Reliably on target. Doesn't have to play blaster. 4. M3z - One of the best locks in the game, a top tier click locker. I'll take his blaster or stalker any day. 5. Pixel - Though absent lately, one of the most consistent callers in the game. I wasn't quite sure where to place him on this list tbh. 6. Spec - Reliable caller, quite survivable. 7. Artic - The second half of the dynamic duo back boning Incursion. Another of the top tier click lockers. Can play any AT. 8. Larry Lobster - The best hibes in the game. 9. Void - Reliable lock, can actually AS on a stalker. 10. Dak - Very torn here between a plethora of players, especially quite a few on GGz. I gave Dak the edge because he can play any AT, call, or lock. Like I said doing this without seeing people's PoVs is pretty much guessing. This is my best guess based on the information I have. Really the difference between them is so minuscule, everyone has gotten so much better since live. I hope homecoming can get a deal with NCSoft soon so we can resume content creation and get those PoVs out there.

Please do this!

I know us PvPers would be interested in a little PvPvE. There is another thread here with people posting times that is getting a little traction so perhaps this could be a thing.
