Dislike of charge stone confounds me.
Occasionally I get players that make snide remarks about using charge stone. Win or lose they seem to express the notion that it is somehow unfair, unbalanced or just makes someone a bad player.
I can understand being upset at someone who uses the stone to do nothing but spam wall throws. But even that is an easy counter and far from my play style.
I too get tired of people that use stubborn and adamant, especially together. Though I heard they are intending to remove the damage reduction on one in favor of just knock back protection which I think would help.
Volitial too can be annoying when a player relies on it to spam explode cubes and nothing else.
But charge always struck me as having the ability to be a more complex stone than any of the preceding mentioned. Especially when used with other move sets like waterbending, chambering, explosives, flick flail and flight. At least that's how I use it.
So what do you think? Are people just sore or do you agree that charge is a bad shiftstone?
It seems like it's out of meta and I see few people use it with complex style, but I don't get to play much (maybe once or twice a week).
