    even with the main carries the guides say i’m just getting absolutely mulched

    You really really need to use the tactical equipment drops that come from dropping an operator on top of another operator.

    Like deploying a cheap 2-3* defender first then putting Mudrock on top of them gives Mudrock +1 block and 40% DEF.

    Or you can do crazy stuff like drop 5 cheap snipers on a single spot then throw down Goldenglow, Eya, or Suzuranne or something and watch them mow shit down with the extra 200 attack speed.

    Blame the US holiday. At least there are no Canadian teams playing an afternoon weekday game on a day that is a US holiday but not a Canadian one. That happens a decent amount.

    Invest into your 3*s, do not sleep on them. They're cheap and easy to build and are more than functional for new players and will be your work horses until you get your roster built up. I recommend Fang, Ansel, Kroos, Midnight, Orchid, Popukar, Melantha, and then any of the three Defenders (Spot, Beagle, or Cardigan) you don't really need all three but 1-2 is fine. Catapult and Lava if you need AoE.

    Similarly 4*s are also quite good, there's some standout ones including:

    - Myrtle
    - Gummy
    - Vigna
    - Click
    - Ethan
    - Cuora
    - Perfumer
    - Sussurro
    - Vermeil/Meteor/May/Jessica (Kroos is top fucking tier for 3*s but you'll want more than one Sniper, so pick 1-2 from here)
    - Podenco

    Those are the high priority ones since they're just Good, little bit lower priority but still Good:

    - Gravel
    - Rope
    - Shaw
    - Gitano
    - Shirayuki

    Bit more niche but they're useful niches. Gitano and Shirayuki are AoE and you'll want those before the other three, but eventually you'll want a Puller/Pusher with Shaw and Rope, and then Gravel is just incredible. Niche as hell but no one else in the game can do what she does. She can stall enemies, redirect/soak ranged damage, tank in a pinch; lots of things.

    Make sure you keep Amiya leveled (goes without saying). 6*s and 5*s are really strong and powerful, but very expensive to invest into. Get a core team of 3*s and 4*s first, then start dumping resources into your 6*s and 5*s. You're good to invest into like, one solid 6* carry (Pozemka, for example, is god tier so investing in her is a good idea!) but not at the expense of your core 3*s and 4*s.

    Related to the above, but because friend supports scale down to whatever your highest level operator is, I highly recommend picking one of those useful 4*s and rushing elite 2 on them (personally I'd pick Myrtle, but any of them are fine).

    Most of the turbo hella busted 6* units don't become turbo hella busted until they hit their elite 2 promotion and have access to their skill 3, but promoting a 6* to elite 2 is very expensive and time/sanity consuming for a fresh player. On the other hand, promoting a 4* is significantly cheaper and easier, and once you have any elite 2 unit on your roster you can access the turbo broken elite 2 friend supports to carry you through some of the more challenging stages.

    This is especially useful for the annihilation maps and the more challenging event stages, where oftentimes you can get by with your low rarity squad as blockers/utility/bodies while you borrow a friend support Summer Chen/Thorns/Silverash/whoever to DPS everything down for you.

    I'm glad the Ottawa home announcers are complaining about how bad the reffing is in Ottawa favor and asking, live on the air, if the refs have ever seen a hockey game before.

    Make me feel a little better about Ottawas 4 powerplay goals on 15 powerplay chances

    Edit: 9 goals in the game, 2 of the at 5v5, both for the pens. Fucking gross.

    Apparently Ivan Provorov skipped warmup the other day because the Flyers we wearing Pride Day sweaters during warmup.

    Then the You Can Play project put out a tweet saying "there must be room for people that don't want to by an ally" and deleted it shortly afterwards

    My understanding is that the pride warmup jerseys are something the players themselves decided to do. Not participating in something that your entire group of peers decided was a cause worth supporting all on their own feels much worse. Laughton and JVR launched a a local LGBTQ+ youth program.

    See, here's the thing about Provorov. He does get to say "I don't believe in this, so I won't do it." He is fully entitled to that, and tell the world that is his opinion. I have no problem with that.

    But he also has to live with the consequences of putting out into the world that he's a bigot and a homophobic person. He has to deal with the questions, and the media, the organization, and more importantly, his teammates.

    Let me be clear: Ivan Provorov is a terrible person. And he rightfully gets to take the full brunt of being a terrible person. But he does get to be a terrible person if he chooses.

    Texas, the next limited, should be the endish of April since golden week seems to be the spot for the next limited banner. Besides her, Mylnar is like the next version of SilverAsh I guess?

    And then Stainless is the other cool one; I don't know if you call him meta but he's got some cool unique skills like letting you charge Thorns-style skills without needing an enemy present.

    Schedule is kind of weird though because we're supposed to get CC next and Dorothy was already delayed. And I dont think there's enough space for the new units and reruns that CN had between Gaviel and Texas.

    I'm an oilers fan, and I was initially extremely confused the fact that Stuart Skinner was picked as the other all star goalie from the pacific.

    But then I thought about it for 5 minutes, and realized that.... there are no good goalies in he pacific division this year. Logan Thompson of Vegas is already going, and he's been by far the best goalie. After that it really is either Skinner or Markstrom.

    I had one dude on Twitter go "But Martin Jones!!!!" except that Martin Jones has the 63rd best save percentage among goalies in the NHL this year, and I will go to my grave proclaiming that wins are not a goalie stat.

    Martin Jones looks good because the Kraken are great at defence (go figure since they loaded up at their draft)

    Both him and Grubbauer are pedestrian at best but the team in front of them makes up for it. Dangle talked about it earlier this week but I don't remember details.

    Martin Jones completed a streak of going 12-1 and 2 shutouts. His save percentage during those 13 games was .887. take the 2 shutouts out and the .sv would be somewhere around .850. He's not good, the team is.

    The Kraken are actually not even that good defensively. But when your shooting percentage as a team is at historical levels, you are often outscoring your opponents and winning games 5-4.
