Even though I'm usually against ideas like that, it's true that MB are overpowered, and it's really sad. The whole variety in teams is usually MB, or BD trying to counter MB. I know many people play other classes, but it's what I often see :/

More than a few were calling anbu assault tactics OP straight away and they were pretty much proven right. I cannot remember the last time I saw an Earth player lol. They had shields nerfed (were annoying but going from 50% to 20% is pretty brutal) and gained a totally useless mystery while being weak to lightning. However the immobilze and new standard attack are pretty good.

I play Earth, and Earth is pretty interesting too. While I agree midnight needs to be toned down, but I don't understand why people abandoned Earth. It got mostly nice improvements, and I use it to combat lightning mains, as a way to do anything against them. You might try, don't use Earth as a tank, but as a support ;p

If you cant beat them JOIN THEM :)

Well they nerfed the super armor passive maybe it's now add defense but doest add resistance anymore, that why he can't compete anymore after 2.0, it's like everybody else got buffed and he got nerfed

Fi...cough... re main

Defence Knowledge was added though, which is much better imo. Also, Universe is OP, his last mystery is a neat thing to have in case of GNW1010, KK Gaara, Tendo, and other chakra consumers :p

It might be just me, as I entered earth main after losing all hope for fire, without even looking at his abilities before, but Earth seems to be 2nd best main atm imo.

if teams all have same power.. its not a matter of lightmain why u lost so badly. its simply ur strategy and teams.

cursed hidan or itachi/sasuke susano can be considered op. the rest is more about building proper teams imo.

using a hinata against MB works wonders. if they dont run immume even danzo/asuma can blind em. if they run immume they attk only once. thats not rlly much o.o if they use lightblade they attk only front.. kimimaro X.x if they use lowest health hinata stops em round 1 second round just attk it.
hinata even blocks cursed hidan round 1 :P shes no joke current meta imo :D

without knowing exact teams no way of knowin why u lost so badly but i can tell u it wasnt becuzz lightmain is verrrrry op ;p hes very good true but to be considered OP and in need of nerf is a stretch.

You are right earth is in a really good position atm he mb not the op tank anymore but he is an awesome support

and like a few already said GNW is mostly about good teambuilding
your 3 teams in a field need to have synergie and its helping if you know what you will probably be fighting against (look what teams their strongest players are running, which rares they have)

You went up against 3 heavily stacked MB sweep teams, you run a second rate Azure team relying heavily on T2 Mei to win. I'm not surprised you'l of died as fast as your implying.

:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

If you are not playing fire/wind/lightning, Expect to lose. This is just a fact. You have to learn what meta is in and use it to your advantage. If you don't you can only blame your self. Also the reason why at the current time it seem like lightning is rekt everyone is because most of the ninja who are strong atm are Sword ninja or lightning. If you want to play VS lightning learn to do it. For GNW its quite easy to beat Lightning because you can get 3 wind mains to decimate their passives. If you think Cused Hidan teams are bad do a full fire team with fire shield. You will not get tagged. So how about instead of whining about who main is OP, how about you learn to fight it. This is mean but its the truth.

LM isn't OP. And in GNW there arent OP mains, just OP tactics.

Even the strong nins like Kyuubi Naruto, Susano's, Cursed Hidan etc can be countered.
But only if you actually build a team TOGETHER. GNW is about team play and make a team that works together.
Don't just go in with your strongest nins, that doesnt work at all.

Wha...

I will have to echo the aforementioned statements about GNW: It's about 3-people team building. Ask yourself: What was the formation on your side? Did you guy properly back each other up or were you sabotaging each other (for example: cancelling each other passive barrier?)

Take a look at your opponent. A 3 Midnight Blades team... is actually pretty logical if you think about it: 3 Anbu = 75% Tai buff and heal (and if they have Guy or Darui/Danzo it will stack even more attack/ninjutsu). So, how about learn from that and apply it to your team next time?
Edit: Still don't know how to feel about people suddenly rush to Lightning... Once upon a time Lightning was pretty rare post lv 70.

Looking at what you are saying, i have to disagree, i myself splay MB and vs opponents on the same power i have some i deal 3-4k dmg per hit with my Blitz team, and then there are ppl on the same power as me taht stacked defensive stats instaed of offensive and only take up to 2k dmg from my attacks.

If 3 MBs in GNW destroy what you have against them, try a change of tactics.
if they use a Darui or Danzo barrier, put someone with higher over all initiative in the team so you wil l get the barrier instead of them, or disperse their buffs, Interrupt lightning armor, or just use an effective team,
For example.. lets say your opponent are 3 MBs with Iruka AsumaWB Darui, then try something like 3 CF with an onoki or Kazekage team with Jigokudo, sure they might kill 1 of your ninjas, but you wont care about it.

Instead of Complaining about the meta, try to counter the meta, find ways to win vs what you think is unbeatable! or why do you think there are still so many Water and Fire mains around ? they found a way to deal with MBs, so why don´t you also find one ?

3 MB, 3 konan, 3 tendo, 3 gakido = GG agaimst any other main even if they run the same team because lightning can fuel tendo round 1, gakido makes it immune to cc and tendo is naturaly immune to interupt so if lightning main gets move 1 lightning armor off then 3 tendos aoe the entire team. 3 tendos hurt even when ur equal power i took about 9k damage to each of my nin round 1, how is that not op?

no other main can run that team because it wont generate enough chakra

also everyone has tendo

2of your MB were weaker than ours and my lineup ruin them in1vs1 :) but whatevr just like on the server, you think you're always right and know everything :D

C'mon, another one of these threads? Literally every main is good right now, it just depends on your ability to create a team and the ninjas you have.
