WRITING NOW. --- The Guardian http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/w/page/107662131/Guardian%20(Destiny) People really really didn't like the Guardian's upgrade ability and I never got why. Actually, OK, I sort of do - it lets unforeseen factors come into your match and hose you when you should've won, but it's all deterministic and only dependent on your ability to politically outmaneuver your opponents. If you get rocked by it you kinda deserve it IMO. It may not be the most popular ability but I think it deserves to stay - it makes the game more complex in all the right ways, and also leads to hilarious matches. Past that, The Guardian suffered from some odd problems. First is that their build wasn't updated to what was endgame gear at the time of their release, second is that nobody knew who the fuck they were. It's weird, because Bungie is a pretty household name, but only GANON seemed to really know them. We never got a super good gauge on their respect for that reason. At least their base ability was super, super good. Pity we never saw it used in a way that matters! Should They Stay?: Are they in Destiny 2? If so yes. If not, no. Nobody has a huge attachment so newest version takes precedence IMO. Happy Mask Salesman http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/w/page/102032284/Happy%20Mask%20Salesman I don't like HMS. I really, really don't like him. Not as a character, he's cool that way, but as a build he's super random in all the worst ways, ranging from a billion options with lots of irrelevant effects, to RNG based effects, to the possibility of turbofucking you over if you roll Majora's Mask and then kill one of your mercs (hi Alany). This build needs to go back to the shop for a total refit, or be scrapped altogether. Should He Stay?: As is, no. Iconic enough character, but the masks are a trash fire. Harth Stonebrew http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/w/page/109308877/Harth%20Stonebrew My dislike for Harth is well known. I don't like the fact he was inserted as a mean-spirited dig at GANON, I don't like he was deliberately not balanced at all, and I especially don't like how sloppy his wording is. Add on that stuff like Yogg Saron is the wrongest kind of RNG that can steal matches at random without being able to defend against it and fuck this shit. Should He Stay?: No. Total refit or bust. Haseo WHO IS HASEO http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/w/page/102493117/Haseo THIS IS HASEO No but seriously, Haseo is a solid merc. I don't like that his awakening stuff is suuuuuper high CD (Demon Awakening has the single highest CD of any ability that isn't variable I believe? And it's really not deserving of that much recharge), but WHO IS HASEO is a lovely ability and he's a solid merc. I feel you can probably do something better by giving him either Data Drain or Skeith as an ability, and I'm not 100% sure he's 5/week tier and not a high power 4 (quick question Ky Kiske or Alucard vs Haseo, who ya got?), but all in all he's fun, .Hack got rereleased with new stuff recently so he's current, and he adds something to the game. He deserves a place in it. Should He Stay?: Yes. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:894633295] in Hypothetic... [t:76193541]...</cite> <quote>OK, it's time.
