I will take that response to the hypothetical as 'I will quit' then.

Well, might as well throw this in, maybe it'll help demonstrate the perspective better.

Assume that all CC have 10 'tiers' of effectiveness, and start at 5. Raising the tier offensively is hard. Raising it defensively is less hard. Generalizing...

Blind: 5 or 10s depending on strength
Flash Blind: 1s
Snare: 2.5 or 5s
Defense Down: 10 or 15s depending on Strength
Knockdown: 2s
Poison: 15-20s.

Every 'Tier' of Resistance drops duration by 20%. Every 'Tier' of 'Overwhelm' counteracts this (or adds 20% if no resistance).

The question is ofc, why '60% chance of resisting Blind' is better than '2-4s of blind from your build'.

The answer given is basically 'adapt to being blinded or not'. Which is possibly more dynamic than 'the offensive player adapting around the fact that their blind does not last long on this particular opponent'.

Obviously I don't see it, but honestly I just felt like putting this in a more concrete form.

They are always obtuse. It's required to be so when one is as deeply committed to ranger as possible as they are. If you aren't obtuse you can't make your point(arrow) go long and far. Just part of getting used to CROW3

(I say that in all sincerity)

Yeah it was just a joke about obtuse trajectory angles. >.> Glad the love landed.

And this is the key point. I was wondering if bringing it up with this argument would cause any shift, but I'm glad to see that it doesn't. It's really helpful for clarification of where one can reach a compromise and where one can't.

So there you have it, @beaushinkle .

"I will take randomly dropping and breaking a healing potion if it is required to preserve RNG."

Always believe what consumers tell you they want.

No matter what it sounds like, no matter how many things you believe you can see that they can't possibly want, that would result from it.

Verify for yourself, but always believe them.
