6.1 Kaiten Changes

[Kabooa]

You're right - there are fundamental differences that makes my comparisons flawed, and the same can be said for literally every analogy ever made. My point was removal from rotation, which you've largely rebuked - fair enough - and the reduction of variety, which you've largely ignored, all the while bringing up new facets that weren't part of the original comparison to illustrate flaws. It'd be like if someone said that tuna were like the chicken of the sea because they're both a major food source and you ignore the fact that they are indeed both major food sources and start pointing out that tuna don't have feathers, chickens can't breathe underwater, etc.

I wouldn't say I ignored variety reduction, more that there isn't much to say. It happened. It sucks that it did. I don't think Samurai has been lowered to the same state as Machinist, let alone in a position to look up at them. That is why I focused mostly on exposing the flaws rather than looking at the merits.

That's the main thing I want to avoid: I want to avoid any Dev thinking there's even a whiff of the population who want Samurai to be more like Machinist.

I'm also not going to tackle that analogy, if you don't mind. The short version is that the premise isn't contestable. They are both food sources. Yes indeed.

The comparison was specifically OGCDs that are used frequently, but if you want to completely recontextualize the comparison, even though it has nothing to do with my original post, sure, let's compare:

But just to clarify, would you be having more fun if Kyuten / Shinten nullified the other's cost so long as the prior spent Kenki? (AKA they worked just like Richo/Gauss)
