PLEASE try and picture the word OPED as a word meaning a build which obtains unfair undeserving wins! Wut. Such thing as "unfair undeserving wins" simply does not exist. Either you win or you don't. And such thing as "OP build" does not exist either. It's simply the matter of finding the best build in the game. If that build happens to be on the OP class, just means that the class is OP. And, without a doubt, the best build is the one that can have the best % and/or best win/per hour ratio. These two don't work together. STR TlM is apparently the fastest, while Tank TlM is apparently the one with most %. Now, all this shows is that TlM is simply the easiest to create a good build. This itself doesn't make it OP. While it could very well be that it has been given too much freedom, and thus too much ease in making builds, the fact is that the current "best" builds are for TlM. Now, this just goes shwing the general lack of creativity of the community. A fair amount use a TlM. Why? Because it has been shown it can make some of the best builds with ease, and can even be copied with ease. Those that created these working builds still stick to the builds as they work. (Most of them do, anyways) The copiers and such stick to them too, and even if they tried something else, they won't bother changing class to try something. This causes the other classes to get much less spotlight in the eyes of the build creators and even the other players. Meanwhile, people look at TlM all the time, making it stronger and stronger. This whole thing is the reason I've stuck to a SC build. There was that one time where 50% of players I fought claimed "haha noob ur build suckzors cause SC" or something along those lines. It's been decreasing lately though. I made the build from a scratch with one single idea behind it: Make a build that works with maxed SC. Since level 28 or so, I can count losses against players of the same or lower level with a single hand, and those matches, were either some oddball build that may or may not work in general (Genious though, to take that build down.) or I simply paid no attention. All glory to them though. Currently, I stand at level 32, and since level 30, my win% has stayed at a fairly stable 80-90%. Let's keep in mind that I'm an terrible creator of builds (And possibly hindered by maxing SC), and how the build was never meant to be near finished yet, (I'll take more closer look upon it after I reach level 34) and we start seeing that the % is not bad at all. If these players that used their skills to create builds on other classes (And truly spend time on it), I'm sure there would be things that could match TlM in a way or another. Hell, even these players that currently use copypasta builds might do something if they tried, instead of sticking to what they know works. By all means feel free to use such builds, no harm in that, but it might create something new. ...I forgot what my point on writing this was halfway down. Sorry. EDIT: Also, as for stuns: The rate is fairly high. It is not "luck" to have one work. Or rather, not something you couldn't avoid. Luck is a skill. However, you cannot directly become better in luck. No, what you must do to become better in luck, is to MINIMIZE the effects of luck. In this, builds that require stuns are bad. However, with the rate, it is a valid strategy. I use stunning. It isn't completely necessary to gain it, and it is merely a bonus to the damage I aim to get from it, but it helps.
