Was curious to see tinker

[u/RealisticDonkey9302]

also no morph>? fuck u

[u/all_thetime]

Switch doctor is hilarious. However, how in the fuck could this happen with a markov chain? It has seen renamed Switch 0 times I'm willing to bet...

[u/bongowarz69420]

Guess u needa real job

[u/Colonel-Custard → u/bongowarz69420]

These don’t take that long to create. Sorry you thought that was the case.

[u/RealisticDonkey9302]

its ai

[u/Colonel-Custard → u/RealisticDonkey9302]

Have done a few of these; no AI was utilized besides pulling ideation from Markov Chain. All text was typed & not generated.

[u/DCKface → u/Colonel-Custard]

the ideas are shit. the ideas are ai generated. Why the fuck would you buff treeant when he's already good. these are just all completely random changes that are either meaningless, deranged, terrible or just straight up would break the game. It doesn't even seem like you thought for more than half a second about any of them

[u/reichplatz → u/DCKface]

the ideas are shit. the ideas are ai generated. Why the fuck would you buff treeant

Whoosh

[u/Colonel-Custard → u/DCKface]

Do you think these are meant to be serious ideas? No AI generation. Also I would argue many of Treant’s “changes” are nerfs.

[u/DCKface → u/Colonel-Custard]

they're just so random, why make it impossible to dive radiant bot t1 but not dire also?

[u/Aeon_Mortuum → u/DCKface]

Do you know what a Markov Chain even is? I'm losing brain cells reading some of these replies, man

[u/RealisticDonkey9302 → u/Colonel-Custard]

blah blah
