ITT: Bad players unwilling to put effort into team building and thus seeking to downplay skill and make luck more relevant as a direct result. I use RNG abuse and Dazzle to suppress luck as far as possible. I win and lose by skill, and preparation is half the battle.
RNG abuse can be done by anyone and is actually fairly simple to do. Most of you are simply afraid of the commitment. It is a process, yes, but it can be done and to even compare it to hacking is the height of all ignorance, bordering on insulting as a matter of fact.
Hackers who "only" hack max stats for themselves (analogous to a good RNG abused team) are still cheating because they do in ten minutes what I do in a month. Obviously most of that time is spent waiting for Braves but from deciding "my team needs my Falco to become a Draco" to getting back online takes four weeks. And, furthermore, these hackers are becoming the minority. Boosted/max Move and Imhullu are prevalent, among other nonsense like Torches and boosted range/invisibility. This is what cheating looks like- proper preparation cannot make you totally invincible.
Furthermore, I'd rather face a hacker who only gives himself max stats than the army of scrubs my win record is clogged with. (Then again, hackers tend to be terrible players, so I'm screwed either way.) Non-RNG abused teams are an utter waste of time in a majority of cases. If I see one more Marth, hacked or otherwise, I may stop playing entirely. People go online with units with single digit stats! Why?
And what the hell is the alternative? Let the RNG decide who has superior units? That's fair! This is a game where one point of Speed or one point of Def makes the difference between getting killed by two units or by one, and that's an enormous difference. Just think about how long it would take for people to play through the game multiple times, looking for five units who get smiled on. Of course, then you're still not arena abusing like you should and you're still at an enormous disadvantage. If you want to play Gimp Mode, find other like-minded individuals and play your own variant. Don't shit on the rest of us (me?) for being willing to put effort into things. We (I) don't want to waste our (my) time slaughtering your team anyway. See my Caeda and surrender.
You wouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight. Learn how to get your units' Def stats up and quit whining. You don't want people to use non-capped units, you want people to use units with garbage stats like what you got stuck with so you have a chance in hell of winning! To complain about RNG abuse and/or arena abuse is ignorance and cowardice, nothing more.
Or you could explain what the just about perfect number of chapter saves, in just about the perfect number of chapters are for. If you didn't immediately make the connection between chapter saves and rerolling stats, maybe this isn't the right game for you.
