Ever since Garnet Anarchist uploaded his "OP 10 with no uniques" challenge run, I feel like the consensus on OP 10 has been shifting to where people think it's actually not unbalanced. It's just properly challenging.

And to those people I have to say: Stop it, get some help.

Garnet Anarchist is not representative of your average Borderlands player, or even your average hardcore Borderlands player. He's a turbo autist who plays Borderlands for a living. And even in that challenge run that gaslit you into thinking OP 10 isn't that bad, he had to cheese the tutorial boss by breaking its AI.

It was a novel twist when they did it in Persona 3. You finally accomplish the goal you spent the whole game achieving, only to realize it was all a ruse and you're now in the third act.

But Persona 4 and 5 get really carried away with it, each game having no less than three fake out final bosses, or rather 2.5 in Persona 5's case because you know going in that after Sae's Palace you catch up to the prologue but the characters repeat that this is the end of the game ad nauseam.

I know the creature side is very useful, but the spell side just seems laughably bad. Like "Why does this even have a spell side?" levels of bad.

You pay 3 mana... to give your opponent a free card. Like why? I can only assume it was a silver bullet for some hyper-specific scenario in one episode of the Joe anime and literally never came up again.

Their pets can't deal damage for beans.

They're so fragile that it feels like their pets are babysitting THEM rather than the other way around.

They got internet funnyman ProZD to voice a guy whose whole character is being an emotionless robot that doesn't get humans.

And even at their BEST they play like store brand Zane. Grab a high fire rate weapon with lots of projectiles per round and then double them, but they have none of the other things that make Zane actually fun to play, like the movement speed, shoulder cannon spam, and not being knocked over by a gust of wind.

IDK I want to believe that it's a me problem but Fl4k just seems to have NO redeeming qualities.

I have five but I don't want to dismantle one now if there's a realistic chance I'm going to get a full refund in three weeks, especially since it means I'm probably going to have to take the whole deck apart anyway.
