I have not included the links to the videos referenced because that would be repeating negativity which I do not believe in! Shoutout to @ASH-RAID for always being a beacon of positivity in our community!
Appreciate your content Saph. Remember that a lot of negativity in the online space is a vocal minority. I feel like most people playing Raid (like myself) are just doing our thing and enjoying the game as we go
And in all of what they've done hydra is still not working properly I still finding my champions attacking heads I don't click on I saw my champions still bypassing the head that consumed my champion to go and attacking different heads so with all these changes hydra is still not fixed
Sapph - You are NOT the problem. People who half-way pay attention to your posts and either (1) don't understand what you are suggesting, or (2) just want someone to blame ARE the problem. Keep doing you. You are awesome.
Hey Saph, ever since I started the game, I wanted a CC that went rly deep into Raid’s mechanics. You are that guy. It’s crazy how just 4 years ago, no one had a clue who were the champs with the best multipliers or how damage is done. You brought all that to the community along with HH. Your work is 1000% appreciated by me and I’m sure by many many others.
It's so funny how people act like you work at Plarium. They think you, and literally nobody else, not the developers, not the executives, are the reason that an $850 million dollar company makes bad decisions.
I think that might partly due to the fact that the term "content creator" is a little ambiguous. While it means someone who creates content for the game, in terms of videos, guides, and so forth, and not the game itself, I think that point is lost on a lot of people.
tell me another cc that suggested the serpents will buff to this extent , he pointed plarium to numerous bugs and issues, of course the look at his vids
@@albundy7725so we’re going to ignore all the simultaneous buffs he suggested in that exact same video? Surely Plarium can’t possibly come up with any changes on their own, anything they do has to come from someone else
I saw that video last night from that wizard guy and was just shaking me head at his logic...was the first time ever even hearing of him..not sure if he is just trying to make himself stick out with controversy or something..both you and Ash got some serious defense in that guys comment section though ;)
The Plarium devs will break things to hurt the community. When the CC's all say something needs to be fixed Plarium uses it as a chance to nerf us and pretend that they are trying to fix the problem.
I don't like it when content creators pile on and hate on other content creators, it's toxic. Especially in this case where neither you, nor Ash have done anything to deserve it. Keep doing what you're doing, Saph, I assure you that your community greatly appreciates your deep dives and eagerly awaits every video you drop. P.S. Give my regards to Ash, he's the best
best at what ? lol , making nonesense videos about top tier this , top tier that , is he a great guy ? Absolutely , but his content is repetitive same old 10 rank champions or random shard pulls ,
Yes they absolutely 100% should (and pay him a boatload of money as well then give him test server access as an aside), but that would mean they were interested in balance and quality of life which we know for a fact they are not, sadly...
Saph "the killer of fun". Just kidding. I think the biggest issue is hydra isn't fun anymore. There is no reason to push my account forward. I started doing hydra on full auto. I never do that. Just need to build a brutal auto team. Just keep being yourself.
It's astounding to me that so many people seem to believe that you influence decisions made at Plarium, an $850 million company. Do they genuinely not understand how corporations work? It's crazy. Keep up the great work, Saph. Love the content.
I think what might be a positive change to serpent will would be to make it so that instead of decreasing damage it makes the head unkillable but in a way that can't be ignored for the duration of the buff and then as the battle goes on the duration becomes longer and on higher difficulties it starts at a higher duration this way the head will be guaranteed their turns which according to plarium is the very purpose of the serpent will buff but players can still deal damage to the heads
I enjoy your content and ash's. You two have done nothing wrong. Wizard D is looking for attention to boost his channel. I watched his content and im personally not interested in it.
Yeah I watched his video yesterday and it's just sour grapes from a very mid "content creator"... nothing interesting or ground breaking in terms of content. Just whinging about not getting the views because he covers RSL like hundreds of others.
I really enjoyed running my trunda team. It took me over a year to get the speed tune i just couldn't get the speeds I seen on all the videos. I will miss watching my team and all the hard work I put into it.
It’s so stupid to think plarium would actually care what any of the CCs think. You have some of the best content for raid. Keep up the great work. And I agree 1000% on Ash. He’s the most positive person out there trying to do something good, always real. Been watching him for years. He always gives something for a good cause, and always says do not whale out, I only do it because it’s part of my job. Keep up the good work guys.
Saph don't worry about what anyone says about you - you do a great community service for the rest of us and we know you're well intentioned. You're one of the only cc's in Raid I watch because you back up your analysis with data and your videos don't annoy me with cut-scenes or clickbait.
I personally love shard pull vids, because when I see someone pull 300 shards for 2 gold pops. It lets me feel good about saving mine. on the other topic no one can be at fault for what happens in a game they don't own. The devs make the decisions based off of what they feel the game needs. Sure they may listen to CC's a bit, but ultimately every decision is made based on how they can make the most from those that are paying.
I meant no disrespect while expressing my opinion, and I apologize if there was any. might be a language problem. I am taking action to address the obvious hypocrisy in what I said, that will come out soon.
@@HHGamingNetwork Thank you Saph! like I told Ash, happy to discuss this for the good of the community, but won't do it now, because I want to avoid this looking like a channel boost move from me.
I got my second Trunda this spring. Mars or april I think. The first one I got back in 2021. Haven't done abything with the second Trunda until now, other champions have had priority before her. Trying to build her as a cc/burner to complement Trunda 1's raw damage build. Funnily enough, Trunda isn't in any of my Hydra teams yet, in part because even the first Trunda just have a 3 star blessing and you need to have the 6 star blessing to really push her A2 damage in Hydra.
The content you put out is probably the most useful content in the game. The problems/game errors that you call out are for the betterment of the player base. If you catch an error you inform your viewers of the potential problem so that they don’t waste resources before a rework is pushed out. It is not your fault plarium does not test their game.
I would prefer to see a rework of Trunda that gives her burn activation on the second A3 hit and for the A2, it repeats the first hit as an AoE and spreads Hex.
Hey, mate! I just wanna say that u doing great job for the community. I'm watching u since the very first video and I think u've done for community education more than everyone else. I appreciate u a lot and hope to see more of u'r content. Cheers ❤
As controversial it is the decapitated head hp limit is not from devil. Without that, everyone's best team was hitting easy for 100 billions. Now actually worth running your team on the higher hydra difficulty.
well said, it's too bad people only hear what they want to hear Refund / reset scrolls would be trivial to do, and then they can just fix Trunda and everyone will be happy again
Honestly I've given up playing raid properly currently. I log on do clan boss and my hydra keys and CVC. That's it, can't be bothered all of it after the hydra changes. I spent too many resources on champs for specifically hydra.
For what is worth, I've always thought and appreciated about you that you're shining a light on all these things, even if I do not necessarily always agree with all your takes, which is ok. Oof, hitting out at Ash considering the way he actually does shard pulls is a bit ehh
I appreciate that u bring issues to light and provide solutions. The sad part is that it appears that the people in charge do not listen. Looking forward to seeing u continue this at GodForge.
Love you Saph. I do disagree with your opinion of possible changes often, not cause they are "bad" ideas, but you often play the devil's advocate. They just feel like an "engineered" response to how to fix areas rather than a fun/creative way to fix.
Numbers don't lie, its not your fault, as an analyst myself i understand that things should just work the way they are intented or rather worded in the context of raid. Feel like folks are just fed up and have picked up pitch forks to just nail one unfortunate.
Keep doing what you've always done. We need a voice that is interested in the game, and not just themselves, whether it's from players, or CC's. Balance is fun imo.
Saph, you're the man. In MY personal opinion, YOU are the single most consistent champion for game balance that this game has ever had. People might not like what you suggest, people might not agree with your takes, but I have NEVER seen you truly advocate for something OTHER than balancing the game and making the game work as it says it's supposed to work. Keep doing you, man. Maybe Plarium will give you test server access!
I really appreciate all your thoughts on content and I find it nonsense of people point at you. I think its just bad human behaviour as they can't find some of the right Plarium person. Please keep on with ideas and your helping the community is much appreciated by the silent majority.
I appreciate you calling out bugs-it’s a critical part of improving the game. However, I’ve noticed that you often suggest solutions alongside the bug report as part of your constructive feedback. While it’s great to provide ideas, it can put you in the spotlight if Raid implements your suggestion and it ends up introducing new issues or making the content harder. My advice would be to continue pointing out bugs publicly but share your proposed solutions directly with them. This way, the focus stays on the issue rather than potential fallout from the suggested fixes.
Saph, I genuinely enjoy your vids and am always excited when you post because I'm about to learn something. Thanks a lot for all you do for the community.
People wouldn’t be as pissed off if they hadn’t put a a competitive component behind us no one really give a shit. They also took advantage of the 1015 next bullshit people spend thousands of dollars on chasing some of these champions and that’s rightfully so I don’t agree that it should be targeted back at you, most of us have made suggestions
I appreciate what the CCs are doing in trying to help direct the game in a good direction with their feedback. I know plarium halfway acknowledged their changes were awful, and I know you are somewhat limited in what you can talk about, but in communications with them are you getting any impression that they are actually listening to how they can fix what they have done and intend to do so?
No, No, No... *everything* wrong in the world is your fault!! ;) No matter what any content creator suggests, it is up to Plarium to determine how the game should work. If we dont like what they give us then it is their fault and not CCs. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work, it is appreciated!
people don't understand that without Saph's work the game would be worse than it is, not the other way around. we do need someone who refutes the text in this game: how it is written and how it is actually interpreted comparing it to how it should've been written, coded or interpreted. how this confirms in a game and how does the multipliers work in a game explained in text. it gives a better view of the game and points out how it can be played better sadly there is currently one guy that's doing that job whom the majority of the community rely on his work -directly or otherwise- and that guy is him. keep up the hard work mr Saph the destroyer of champions ❤
Saph, just because you give an opinion on the game and that they listened to a part of your solution. Doesn't mean you are the reason that hydra is a mess atm. Keep it up and you do you :)
As bad as I hate the changes to Hydra. In the clashes I’ve seen from my clan and other clans, 1st to last place are a few billions apart; only like 1 billion from the last 3 spaces. The nerfs have done a good job regardless of how we feel.
That is definitionally not the case. How we feel about a piece of content matters because if we don’t like it we don’t play it. If people hate it and won’t play it then it is not a good change.
@ Regardless, if people are playing or not there’s no way to prove your statement unless you work at plarium because the people that follow these CCs and post on read it are a small percentage of the players that play raid. We can only go by the end results of each clash. This is what plarium analytics will show. Even if engagement is low, the company will just introduce some new rewards to make people play. Which then we still won’t know the true numbers because they will have to wait on analytics again. If players want to prove a point to plarium, they 100% quit or they push hydra as hard as they can with trunda teams to show that the disparity between first and last place.
saph i think you are the best cc out of the lot. the information and the knowledge is absolutely amazing. you built the optimiser and are just the brains. hope people start to leave your opinions alone. keep doing you
Sorry about the flak, not your fault. I like shard pull vids because seeing the disaster pulls encourages me to hang on to mine until a brilliant result is guaranteed
Good video and well said as always. I ran a Wixwell/Yannica team for two weeks. It was not a fun comp. I usually had to run it like 5+ times because RNG would ruin the run early and I am glad it is gone. I think there was nothing wrong with the concept but it was definitively cheese. Plarium definitely blew it, though, when it came to the method of nerfing it. They have been saying they want more viable team comps but their changes accomplish the opposite. Neither here nor there I suppose. I for one appreciate the unpaid work Saph has done for the game/Plarium. It is just too bad they aren't skilled enough at game design to use that free labor. Just my two cents.
Saph is not the problem, but he's ALWAYS The Imposter! I've told Simon that he's the reason I'm still in Raid. But really, his website wouldn't know half the mechanics of Raid if it weren't for you. So in truth you are the reason I'm still in Raid. Keep on truckin'.
Nah, you are the opposite of the problem actually. As long as you enjoy it, keep doing your stuff, it's one of the most legit content. Thank you for all your, literal, work.
What I like about Ash is just that...that he do things for mostly children (people) in need and I do not know Ash but the little he has told us about himself and is personal life a sense of depth to his content more than the explicitly that concerns Raid, the last thing we (the none CCs) needs and it goes for the CCs too is a toxic atmosphere when Plarium is making these bad choices for the game in general. Keep on what you do HH and that goes for Ash too I so like all of you just because you are all different, but I miss that YST do not do more content he is so funny and he is always so happy, I hope everything is alright with him he and Nubs coalition videos are so funny too. Sometimes I go back to certain very very old videos just because of the fun content not related to the game necessarily. I mean who can not laugh when JGigs is going on one of his RAID RANTS. Take care!
It's called creating drama to generate viewership. Saph keep doing what you are doing the way you are doing it, the majority of your suggestions have been excellent. People will always find reasons to blame and in this case very unfairly and in bad faith just to attract attention. This might work for them in the short term, but in the long term these kinda actions will only hurt them.
I appreciate your content and the work you put into it, especially since the other "data guy" CC (Chosen) has moved on from Raid. I'm sorry people are so apt to blame you for dumb things. You're a voice of reason, and that offends some people. Keep up the good work!
You're not breaking any rules or laws. You have fairness of the community in mind and intention. If people still have a problem with you...probably means you're doing something right, Saph. And you shouldn't stop 💪
saph the way they took hydra made me quit amongst other shit. you are NOT THE PROBLEM. I have come here to defend you as someone told me you were getting shit . Please keep up the fantastic work :) Trunda was the issue - no one would listen to little old me and I have said that for ages like you but no one will bomb me.... as I say chin up we love your info.
That Wiz dude has not made many friends with his video, so chill, the big majority of players are totally agreeing with you. To be honest, I am very much looking forward to Godforge because I know you (and the team) will do a much better job at balancing the game than Raid. And for some players playing a balanced game still counts!
I saw one of the videos blaming saph for everything and after watching it my thoughts were: "saph is living absolutely rent free in these peoples heads" and "wow this is taken out of context". The video hating on ash got on my feed and I just clicked "Don't recommend channel" lol, wasnt going to give that probable trash a view.
Community is going toxic due to plaruim ruining the game, I don’t know why ppl are coming for you Saph one of the most honest people in the raid community
Teox is not fun, hes OP... Saying Teox is a unity champion of course... you have to invest in any unity champions... now compare Teox to the other Unity champions... only Vulkanos is strong too, but Teox is not on the level of other unity champions, so yes, yous SHOULD advocate to nerf his a1... also nerf Narses and Taras too... that is fair... thats what you should do...
With that taught Galathir should be nerfed, Siegfrund too, Marius and so on... You need strong and weak champs in game, not something that brakes the game
A couple of times, you may have said things I might not agree with the item. Maybe goes as far as I wished you had not brought it up. I think you are a nice person who cares about the game. I get all the balance issues, but really they just needed to use points for placing. First place gets 25 pts, second 23. etc... a lot like f1. Total damage would be like whoever scores the most goals in a season wins the premier league. It's dumb. You do a great job, keep up the good work!
Chin up pal, people will always aim their anger at an easy/visible target and most of the time it’s unfounded and irrational arguments using hand picked quotes taken out of context to fit the narrative. Your videos always have been informative, well researched and to the point. Don’t change that, it’s great content and well needed, especially for an idiot like me that doesn’t understand all the nuances in the game.
They just mad cause your smarter than them or anyone at Plarium lol. Saph your awesome and extremely helpful don't listen to the 1% player base us 99% got your back and enjoy watching your videos!
Seems I missed some drama? Well. I don't care about such stuff. I appreciate what you are doing. Unofficial patch notes. game mechanic insights, number crunching,... helps me a lot and keeps ideas coming to my mind to build teams and champs on my account
They wont even let you in the CC program I doubt you are the root cause. I have never been a fan of your push for 100% DR on Serpents Will, I have always said should bot be 100% but just add an unkillable aspect to it so that the heads are allowed to take a turn no matter what. The main reason I said 100% was a horrible idea is doing so would be easy for them to take it too far.
Yeah its not a knock on people running - its more plarium made the whole encounter worse for the sake of stopping trunda being better and they failed so its everyone who suffers.
Saph cmon buddy let’s be honest. You give actual answers and think your opinions through before you speak and put it out there. What do these people do? Keep it up chief we’re all on the same team 👍🏻
i dont have a problem with a token system for sure, can i get 1 for every character i made for the entire CB team though, seeing as i wasted 5 champs to get the wixwell team and not just wixwell, without him the others are a total waste as well.
Saph…….you da man!! 😎No need to apologize!! Stand on business and keep doing what you do!! 💯 Always looking forward to your content! Haters will always hate! Stay Sturdy and get that +4 Whisper!! 💪🏾
Yeah, the drama CCs are just trying to make a name for themselves by bringing down others. Seen a few of the vids and wondered what info they added that helps players. It wasn’t much of any.
Just people taking advantage of negative sentiment by pointing fingers at someone other than plarium. As always people will choose the out in the open, "reachable" target. I think this is just plain stupid, as I enjoy the videos you & other cc's put out on a regular basis. It isn't hard to see that the issues with hydra, let alone that have come & gone with the game has been solely a result of plarium's own poor decision making. edit: & coding!
Let me understand something So 90% was ok with trunda, and other hydra teams. 1 % could have get those hydra teams to do that damage. 9 % cry to nerf it lol. The other thing is yall expect them to nerf one broken team, but leave the other broken teams in the game?? (Taunt was broken ) (Wixwell was broken) raid said as well they didn’t want people to just landing dec speed on decapitated head and doing millions of damage, because that wasn’t how they wanted hydra. So………. yall ask for nerfs and fixes and didn’t expect this??
Saph, you don’t know me and I have to say that I support your strength of character! You are a true advocate of fair play and integrity. I didn’t agree with Wizard D and a few others who were blaming you for the decision making of Plarium. What he did reminded me of doxing and I was saddened by his decision to make you a scapegoat for Plarium’s actions. Wizard D left me no choice but to unsubscribe to his channel, I did that yesterday before you even made this video. What
Its sad when a small cc tries te get views by spreading misinformation and calling out bigger cc’s. Love your content and can’t wait for your content on the new CB.
i just dont get why not nerf Trunda... they nerfed Tormin, Rotos and others... if you dont like nerfing Trunda, then let go crazy and revert all those Tormin changes... lets get the arena cold again specially with this speed meta that we are now
not sure I will ever get Lamasu.. out of every single clan siege to date I have only won a single 1. they really need to fix/rebalance matchmaking or add bot clans

I think a minor solution would have been to implement not being allowed to use multiple copies of the same champions on teams. And

When was the last time anyone pulled a Trunda, the shard pull system is the true problem.
I've had her 6 star soul since January, now if I could just pull her.
Boozor pulled her on this 1+1.
I really want to pull her but have not in five years
I got my second Trunda this spring. Mars or april I think.
The first one I got back in 2021.
Haven't done abything with the second Trunda until now, other champions have had priority before her.
Trying to build her as a cc/burner to complement Trunda 1's raw damage build.

Refund / reset scrolls would be trivial to do, and then they can just fix Trunda and everyone will be happy again
Honestly I've given up playing raid properly currently. I log on do clan boss and my hydra keys and CVC. That's it, can't be bothered all of it after the hydra changes. I spent too many resources on champs for specifically hydra.
For what is worth, I've always thought and appreciated about you that you're shining a light on all these things, even if I do not necessarily always agree with all your takes, which is ok.
Oof, hitting out at Ash considering the way he actually does shard pulls is a bit ehh
I appreciate that u bring issues to light and provide solutions. The sad part is that it appears that the people in charge do not listen. Looking forward to seeing u continue this at GodForge.
Love you Saph. I do disagree with your opinion of possible changes often, not cause they are "bad" ideas, but you often play the devil's advocate. They just feel like an "engineered" response to how to fix areas rather than a fun/creative way to fix.
Absolutely fine to disagree with me :) I enjoy the perspectives people give that is healthy
Numbers don't lie, its not your fault, as an analyst myself i understand that things should just work the way they are intented or rather worded in the context of raid. Feel like folks are just fed up and have picked up pitch forks to just nail one unfortunate.
Keep doing what you've always done. We need a voice that is interested in the game, and not just themselves, whether it's from players, or CC's. Balance is fun imo.
I appreciate you identifying and articulating issues in the game. You are NOT the problem. Keep up your great work. 👍
Saph, you're the man. In MY personal opinion, YOU are the single most consistent champion for game balance that this game has ever had. People might not like what you suggest, people might not agree with your takes, but I have NEVER seen you truly advocate for something OTHER than balancing the game and making the game work as it says it's supposed to work.
Keep doing you, man. Maybe Plarium will give you test server access!
I suspect they are actually undercover plarium employees who are trying to drive Saph away from raid. Cuz Saph keeps exposing their bad practices.
AUX 1 says "allo"! Love when we pop up in your vids, mate.
Would have been so easy to fix just by making Serpents will cap any incoming damage at 10% like the max HP cap.
I really appreciate all your thoughts on content and I find it nonsense of people point at you. I think its just bad human behaviour as they can't find some of the right Plarium person. Please keep on with ideas and your helping the community is much appreciated by the silent majority.
I appreciate you calling out bugs-it’s a critical part of improving the game. However, I’ve noticed that you often suggest solutions alongside the bug report as part of your constructive feedback. While it’s great to provide ideas, it can put you in the spotlight if Raid implements your suggestion and it ends up introducing new issues or making the content harder.
My advice would be to continue pointing out bugs publicly but share your proposed solutions directly with them. This way, the focus stays on the issue rather than potential fallout from the suggested fixes.
Saph, I genuinely enjoy your vids and am always excited when you post because I'm about to learn something. Thanks a lot for all you do for the community.
People wouldn’t be as pissed off if they hadn’t put a a competitive component behind us no one really give a shit. They also took advantage of the 1015 next bullshit people spend thousands of dollars on chasing some of these champions and that’s rightfully so I don’t agree that it should be targeted back at you, most of us have made suggestions
I love your input, ideas and critical mind when it comes to this game - one of my favorite creators - thank you for all that you do!
Different take, stop giving plarium ideas let it rot and focus on getting godforge right. Plarium won't ever change sod them
I concur!!!!!! Forget this stupid game.......I can't wait to get into something else
I appreciate what the CCs are doing in trying to help direct the game in a good direction with their feedback. I know plarium halfway acknowledged their changes were awful, and I know you are somewhat limited in what you can talk about, but in communications with them are you getting any impression that they are actually listening to how they can fix what they have done and intend to do so?
No, No, No... *everything* wrong in the world is your fault!! ;) No matter what any content creator suggests, it is up to Plarium to determine how the game should work. If we dont like what they give us then it is their fault and not CCs. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work, it is appreciated!
people don't understand that without Saph's work the game would be worse than it is, not the other way around.
we do need someone who refutes the text in this game: how it is written and how it is actually interpreted comparing it to how it should've been written, coded or interpreted. how this confirms in a game and how does the multipliers work in a game explained in text.
it gives a better view of the game and points out how it can be played better
sadly there is currently one guy that's doing that job whom the majority of the community rely on his work -directly or otherwise- and that guy is him.
keep up the hard work mr Saph the destroyer of champions ❤
Saph, just because you give an opinion on the game and that they listened to a part of your solution. Doesn't mean you are the reason that hydra is a mess atm. Keep it up and you do you :)
As bad as I hate the changes to Hydra. In the clashes I’ve seen from my clan and other clans, 1st to last place are a few billions apart; only like 1 billion from the last 3 spaces. The nerfs have done a good job regardless of how we feel.
That is definitionally not the case. How we feel about a piece of content matters because if we don’t like it we don’t play it. If people hate it and won’t play it then it is not a good change.
@ Regardless, if people are playing or not there’s no way to prove your statement unless you work at plarium because the people that follow these CCs and post on read it are a small percentage of the players that play raid. We can only go by the end results of each clash. This is what plarium analytics will show. Even if engagement is low, the company will just introduce some new rewards to make people play. Which then we still won’t know the true numbers because they will have to wait on analytics again. If players want to prove a point to plarium, they 100% quit or they push hydra as hard as they can with trunda teams to show that the disparity between first and last place.
Screw the haters, You're Awesome Saph. If they listened to you properly they wouldn't be in this situation with the community.
See Saph over here being a grey Jedi. Bring balance to the force bud!
just wonder, what type of content 'raid content creators' help to implement, or was suggested by them which is already in the game???
saph i think you are the best cc out of the lot. the information and the knowledge is absolutely amazing. you built the optimiser and are just the brains. hope people start to leave your opinions alone. keep doing you
The guy who called out Ash for shard pulling LITTERALLY STARTRD THAT VIDEO BY PULLING SHARDS. As I posted on his video - he was clout chasing
People are giving too much credence to your influence on Plarium, when they won't even let you into the CC programme
Saph, you're great period. Anyone who blames you for whatever is foolish.
Your content is awesome Saph! Thanks for calling out the nasty irrational bullies. Keep doing what you are doing!
Master baiter. I even defended you. Chill Saph. It is plarium fault. You are sometimes wrong with conclusion, but provide us with facts and data.
Sorry about the flak, not your fault. I like shard pull vids because seeing the disaster pulls encourages me to hang on to mine until a brilliant result is guaranteed
Good video and well said as always. I ran a Wixwell/Yannica team for two weeks. It was not a fun comp. I usually had to run it like 5+ times because RNG would ruin the run early and I am glad it is gone. I think there was nothing wrong with the concept but it was definitively cheese. Plarium definitely blew it, though, when it came to the method of nerfing it. They have been saying they want more viable team comps but their changes accomplish the opposite. Neither here nor there I suppose. I for one appreciate the unpaid work Saph has done for the game/Plarium. It is just too bad they aren't skilled enough at game design to use that free labor. Just my two cents.
Saph is not the problem, but he's ALWAYS The Imposter! I've told Simon that he's the reason I'm still in Raid. But really, his website wouldn't know half the mechanics of Raid if it weren't for you. So in truth you are the reason I'm still in Raid. Keep on truckin'.
Nah, you are the opposite of the problem actually. As long as you enjoy it, keep doing your stuff, it's one of the most legit content. Thank you for all your, literal, work.
What I like about Ash is just that...that he do things for mostly children (people) in need and I do not know Ash but the little he has told us about himself and is personal life a sense of depth to his content more than the explicitly that concerns Raid, the last thing we (the none CCs) needs and it goes for the CCs too is a toxic atmosphere when Plarium is making these bad choices for the game in general. Keep on what you do HH and that goes for Ash too I so like all of you just because you are all different, but I miss that YST do not do more content he is so funny and he is always so happy, I hope everything is alright with him he and Nubs coalition videos are so funny too. Sometimes I go back to certain very very old videos just because of the fun content not related to the game necessarily. I mean who can not laugh when JGigs is going on one of his RAID RANTS. Take care!
Never ever let the keyboard warriors of the internet bring you down. You bring real content while the rest copycat one another. Keep bringing it Saph.
It's called creating drama to generate viewership. Saph keep doing what you are doing the way you are doing it, the majority of your suggestions have been excellent. People will always find reasons to blame and in this case very unfairly and in bad faith just to attract attention. This might work for them in the short term, but in the long term these kinda actions will only hurt them.
I appreciate your content and the work you put into it, especially since the other "data guy" CC (Chosen) has moved on from Raid. I'm sorry people are so apt to blame you for dumb things. You're a voice of reason, and that offends some people. Keep up the good work!
You're not breaking any rules or laws. You have fairness of the community in mind and intention. If people still have a problem with you...probably means you're doing something right, Saph.
And you shouldn't stop 💪
saph the way they took hydra made me quit amongst other shit. you are NOT THE PROBLEM. I have come here to defend you as someone told me you were getting shit . Please keep up the fantastic work :) Trunda was the issue - no one would listen to little old me and I have said that for ages like you but no one will bomb me.... as I say chin up we love your info.
That Wiz dude has not made many friends with his video, so chill, the big majority of players are totally agreeing with you. To be honest, I am very much looking forward to Godforge because I know you (and the team) will do a much better job at balancing the game than Raid. And for some players playing a balanced game still counts!
they dont need nerf, they need buff more champions, for get more combination to beat hidra.
I saw one of the videos blaming saph for everything and after watching it my thoughts were: "saph is living absolutely rent free in these peoples heads" and "wow this is taken out of context". The video hating on ash got on my feed and I just clicked "Don't recommend channel" lol, wasnt going to give that probable trash a view.
Keep do what you doing , your knowledge is really up there.
bro some ppl are just brain dead just do ur thing we appreciate all the work u do to help us
Community is going toxic due to plaruim ruining the game, I don’t know why ppl are coming for you Saph one of the most honest people in the raid community
Teox is not fun, hes OP... Saying Teox is a unity champion of course... you have to invest in any unity champions... now compare Teox to the other Unity champions... only Vulkanos is strong too, but Teox is not on the level of other unity champions, so yes, yous SHOULD advocate to nerf his a1... also nerf Narses and Taras too... that is fair... thats what you should do...
With that taught Galathir should be nerfed, Siegfrund too, Marius and so on... You need strong and weak champs in game, not something that brakes the game
I think Plarium follows your suggestions a lot of the time. Like Mighty Uugo change as an example
A couple of times, you may have said things I might not agree with the item. Maybe goes as far as I wished you had not brought it up. I think you are a nice person who cares about the game. I get all the balance issues, but really they just needed to use points for placing. First place gets 25 pts, second 23. etc... a lot like f1. Total damage would be like whoever scores the most goals in a season wins the premier league. It's dumb. You do a great job, keep up the good work!
Chin up pal, people will always aim their anger at an easy/visible target and most of the time it’s unfounded and irrational arguments using hand picked quotes taken out of context to fit the narrative. Your videos always have been informative, well researched and to the point. Don’t change that, it’s great content and well needed, especially for an idiot like me that doesn’t understand all the nuances in the game.
They just mad cause your smarter than them or anyone at Plarium lol. Saph your awesome and extremely helpful don't listen to the 1% player base us 99% got your back and enjoy watching your videos!
Seems I missed some drama? Well. I don't care about such stuff.
I appreciate what you are doing. Unofficial patch notes. game mechanic insights, number crunching,... helps me a lot and keeps ideas coming to my mind to build teams and champs on my account
They wont even let you in the CC program I doubt you are the root cause. I have never been a fan of your push for 100% DR on Serpents Will, I have always said should bot be 100% but just add an unkillable aspect to it so that the heads are allowed to take a turn no matter what. The main reason I said 100% was a horrible idea is doing so would be easy for them to take it too far.
Trunda is such a pain to run now. The guys grinding 3+ billion are not cruising to it. Its extremely challenging and the score is deserved
Yeah its not a knock on people running - its more plarium made the whole encounter worse for the sake of stopping trunda being better and they failed so its everyone who suffers.
Every team is a pain to run now 😂nobody is cruising to a competitive score with ANY team. You're working no harder than anyone else.
Saph cmon buddy let’s be honest. You give actual answers and think your opinions through before you speak and put it out there. What do these people do? Keep it up chief we’re all on the same team 👍🏻
i dont have a problem with a token system for sure, can i get 1 for every character i made for the entire CB team though, seeing as i wasted 5 champs to get the wixwell team and not just wixwell, without him the others are a total waste as well.
Saph…….you da man!! 😎No need to apologize!! Stand on business and keep doing what you do!! 💯 Always looking forward to your content! Haters will always hate! Stay Sturdy and get that +4 Whisper!! 💪🏾
Yeah, the drama CCs are just trying to make a name for themselves by bringing down others. Seen a few of the vids and wondered what info they added that helps players. It wasn’t much of any.
Just people taking advantage of negative sentiment by pointing fingers at someone other than plarium. As always people will choose the out in the open, "reachable" target. I think this is just plain stupid, as I enjoy the videos you & other cc's put out on a regular basis. It isn't hard to see that the issues with hydra, let alone that have come & gone with the game has been solely a result of plarium's own poor decision making. edit: & coding!
Let me understand something
So 90% was ok with trunda, and other hydra teams. 1 % could have get those hydra teams to do that damage. 9 % cry to nerf it lol. The other thing is yall expect them to nerf one broken team, but leave the other broken teams in the game?? (Taunt was broken )
(Wixwell was broken)
raid said as well they didn’t want people to just landing dec speed on decapitated head and doing millions of damage, because that wasn’t how they wanted hydra. So………. yall ask for nerfs and fixes and didn’t expect this??
Saph, you don’t know me and I have to say that I support your strength of character!
You are a true advocate of fair play and integrity.
I didn’t agree with Wizard D and a few others who were blaming you for the decision making of Plarium. What he did reminded me of doxing and I was saddened by his decision to make you a scapegoat for Plarium’s actions.
Wizard D left me no choice but to unsubscribe to his channel, I did that yesterday before you even made this video.
What
Appreciate all your support! I do what I do for the fairness for everyone!
Raid is killing themselves and it looks like it’s deliberate
Its sad when a small cc tries te get views by spreading misinformation and calling out bigger cc’s. Love your content and can’t wait for your content on the new CB.
i just dont get why not nerf Trunda... they nerfed Tormin, Rotos and others... if you dont like nerfing Trunda, then let go crazy and revert all those Tormin changes... lets get the arena cold again specially with this speed meta that we are now
I blame you for stubbing my toe.
My apologies! Damn Creators wounding raid players haha
just to let you know. I RESPECT your opinion!!! keep your credibility even if its not popular!
Saph, I pulled some voids the other day and didn't get a second Yumeko. Why did you do that to me?
Im just a menace everywhere!
not sure I will ever get Lamasu.. out of every single clan siege to date I have only won a single 1. they really need to fix/rebalance matchmaking or add bot clans
2:40 "Find me a raid content creator that hasnt done a shard pulling video " ... Samsolstice?
And then you see who pushed the hate towards Saph, i think it balances out
bro missed the point 💀
The problem is that Plarium is the real life personification of the BP oil spill CEO from South Park... we are sorry.
Does it again lol
idk how people jump to the conclusion you're the problem. Thats wild. You are a value add. Great insight.
