Theory crafting? How about experience? How about all the enemy MCHs I make short work of because I saw them waste their Stun Gun and I wasn't even in range? Or the ones who aren't doing the damage I'm doing (to THEM, not ice. If I wanna hit a training dummy, I have 2 in my yard)? OR the ones who try to fit all their damage into a 10 second window, fail to break ice or KO a player, then are at a loss AND without one of their best ccs because they wasted it to do damage they could've otherwise achieved without wasting it? Did you even WATCH the video?

You and several others even noted that it was generally a better thing to not do that, yet you're stubbornly trying to defend something that's situational at best. Situational, which I never disagreed and even said in the video might be necessary at times, but not something to rely on. This means it's generally NOT a good thing to do. Not in Shatter, and certainly not in any other mode, however much they are or aren't played.

But nah, you go ahead and keep doing that. I'll keep not doing it and teaching MCHs who want to be more useful than "top ice burst" for their team not to do that.
