I didn't lose to a team, I lost to a gear set, that's what I'm frustrated about. I get beaten every day, I take it for what it is. Sometimes their team is just better, other times their champs are built better, sometimes the RNG didn't go my way. More often than not it's my mistakes, like bringing Rotos team against UDK team or forgetting to bring Harima against Mortu. You live and you learn, those are mistakes that you learn to avoid and builds you aspire to. Losing to Stoneskin set is none of that. I might as well have lost a dice roll.
If they didn't have Stoneskin, I would have beaten them the first time; after I knew they had stoneskin, I beat them....there is nothing about the team that was unbeatable, that's my point. Based on what I saw, I had them beat. But you throw in hidden variables that change the entire course of a battle, you're fighting an RNG battle at that point.
I get it, "eeeew, speed teams are so level 80"...Yeah, when I have 6 go-second teams to go around, I'll ditch them. Until then, if I come across someone with 2 speed teams and I only have one go-second that can hold its own against a speed team, I have to use a speed team against a speed team. And I guess I'm rolling the dice on whether it's a speed team or a speed team in Stoneskin. If you think I somehow feel defeated because of something I had no way of knowing, not a chance. I feel frustrated because the only factor that influenced that battle is one I had no way of knowing.
