SCs other than the vq

I actually see the reverse in most cases recently (and this is not specific or directly related to you, personally, btw). I see a lot of "It's not invincible" (whether clams, ermor, pangaea, whatever ) being used in response to "It's over-powered". I also see a lot of "Well, you just don't know how to play" in response to the question of something being over-powered. Finally, there is the "Your point isn't valid because it's just a trend" argument.

So what your saying in essence is: If there is a way to beat it, or any number of ways and it has been shown then it can still be overpowered because not every nation/player/skill-level can do it? What other rational are you looking for? If it's overpowered that means to me, that it gives more than it should for it's current cost/use. But the determination for that is how abusable it is and if any thing/style can measure up to it. Then if there are none, it's a singular instance, if there are others, what is the commonality or why are these other not considered the same?

I respect that a lot of people know more about the game than I do (maybe most people !) but that doesn't make them impartial, it doesn't make them logical, it doesn't mean they don't have personal agendas and it certainly doesn't make them right. Credentials only get you so far.

All of those points could be presented to each and every one who presents a point pro or con, so you have to follow the path of what seems more logical to you personally and go from there. There is no way of getting around personal preference of how you play the game and the results you have viewed for yourself.

Like I said, I am not trying to crusade against immortality or VQs or clams...in fact, I don't think we are that far apart from agreement here, anyway...but if something just doesn't sound right, I might just voice my thoughts, noob or not.

Which you should do. I don't believe anyone was shushing anyone or saying "Your opinion is worthless" but more along the lines of "maybe things are not so black and white, this is why".
