What I find funny is that the Ambassador was made to reward accuracy, its weaker on everything compared to the normal revolver AND has increasing spread with following shots, only the first shot being accurate, so its going to get nerfed because its too strong in the hands of a skilled/accurate player. There are other ways to balance that, but what do I know?

What might be an interesting rework is the Ambassador no longer gets headshots but gets reverse falloff, kinda like the crossbow. Gets a damage boost at mid-long range, but gets an even heavier damage penalty in close range. Something like: Short: 35 damage Mid: 55 damage Long: 75 damage You can two-shot light classes at long range (though the drastically increased spread and removal of perfect accuracy makes this unlikely with rapid fire) but get sharply diminishing returns the closer you are to your target, making it a real shitty personal defense weapon. But let's be real, the people that get mad over any class in this game having ANY kind of effective long range capability are going to be mad regardless unless the rework makes it a close range weapon entirely. Valve could change it to have one shot in the chamber and a 5 second reload and people would STILL get butthurt over taking 120 damage from long range. Some people just have an irrational hatred of any engagement that doesn't begin and end at shotgun range.

how are you not blind by now

On the part about change, I'd say, if anything, the Smash 4 community welcomes change, because they are able to. Diddy was OP as hell, hoo-has out the ass, people wanted that changed because he was far superior to any other character, people wanted other characters to be viable, and so Diddy got nerfed. Every character in the game received balance patches that the people wanted. If anything the Melee community is resistant to that form of change because it's not possible. Melee is out, it's over a decade old, it can't be patched. But from what I've seen, Melee is all for change in terms of practicing and perfecting other characters who aren't the top tier, trying to bring them up and show that they can be used viably. That's exactly what Amsa did. Amsa came out of Japan from fucking nowhere and beat Mew2King (the 4th best Melee player in the world) and he was playing Yoshi. A random guy playing a mid-tier character beat a lifetime pro playing a top-tier character, because he played his character well enough. It caused people to rethink the tier list and how characters are used, and Amsa gets a ton of respect for it. And you call the top dogs in the Melee community childish, but at the same time want to see the winner hurl insults at the loser? Losing is already bad enough, there's no reason to be a dick and pile insults to the guy's face on top of it. Just shake his hand, show respect for your opponents.

who are you he hates esports and only likes watching amateur competitive players shittalking each other incredibly lame attitude but whatever

this offends me on a primal level as a (former) competitive tf2 player basically you want to be able to watch an esport without the players getting any of the remuneration they deserve from being at the top of a highly competitive and incredibly skilled game while I don't follow smash at all, I can tell you that the reason the competitive community doesn't like the changes you were describing is because either they decrease the skill based nature of the game, or in the case of the Project M mod because it increases the barrier of entry to an already small scene. and if the most important aspect of watching video games to you is seeing people shittalk each other maybe you should find some other hobby

I always felt like the Mario series needed more T-rexes and body-snatching.

Still waiting on my F-zero reboot tho
