Play enough Triple A titles and you’ll learn to hate RNG

This is underpowered. Typically 4 night abilities and 0 day abilities that do things to other players makes the class boring. Make the tier 1 infinite uses.

Also I cannot see tol adding a input mechanic where you type a question in and get a response it would have to be word for word and copying for some people is tough… therefore, this imo would not be a tol class but rather an fol class of added

RNG means that:

A: It is impossible for someone else to know what you got. A big part of this game is predicting how someone is likely to act and attempting to play around it, especially late game. Having an action literally be RNG means that no matter how good you are at predicting the player you cannot properly counter play their action.

B: It means that any outcome is less satisfying because you were never given any method of making a smart choice. If I chose a target correctly then I can feel like I played well (even if it was effectively random), but if I’m assigned a target (or in this case assigned a result on a target) then it doesn’t feel skillful to get the desired result

C: It makes the ability to unreliable to use. If something has a chance of failing without outside interference or poor targeting then proper play is to assume it will fail and not use it.

D: It is inherently swingy, the later in the game it is the more swingy it is. This is why RNG is only used in startup. You want to minimize swing as much as possible. Given an obvious right answer (perceived or actual) the person making a decision will make that choice almost every time. However RNG means that you instead have a game where you get it and a game where you don’t. Because of how balance works an ability using RNG needs to be potentially stronger and potentially weaker. This causes games where you get streaks of good luck and dominate with the class. And other games where you get streaks of bad luck and are useless.

Both cases are bad and thus RNG is bad.

I read this as Maximize and I was like wait what

#10

Maximum swing is just a chance of an insta-win vs insta-loss

#11

If that argument doesn’t change your mind, I wonder what will. :upside_down_face:
