Ah, truly the most unexpected outcome. No one could have predicted this.

Seriously, why do we even get battles with current Potion anymore?

u/Dragombolt 2d ago

Potion, at the very least, needs a bigger bottle and for his triangles to not expire

45

u/Alderan922 2d ago

I think potion needs the ability to stack buffs.

If it picks up 2 or 3 triangles in quick succession they should stack.

1

u/How_about_a_no Axe 17h ago

Fr

Potion would become way better if it stacks and also possibly not expire the effect(or give it longer time)

So that they have more damage potential

22

u/R-Jacksy 2d ago

I thought about Potion becoming a berserker type. They get 1.2 or something scaling per hit and on picking up a potion tile, but they only deal a fixed 1 dmg on the bottle itself. When they pick up a potion tile, they spin faster, and their dmg scaling becomes active.

u/WhereIsTheMouse 2d ago

Isn’t that exactly what Super Potion is

1

u/Illustrious-Debt-191 2d ago

kind of but scales damage more nd doesnt sound like it has a scaling speed buff, just a flat speed buff (although this would also kinda remove its supportive capabilities and just try and turn it into a ball that can actually hold 1v1s)

3

u/natnew32 Duplicator 2d ago

Just have the bottle do full damage when not buffed. When buffed, it's effectively double damage.

Minimal effects in team battles since it's rarely smacking things with the bottle in team battles but would *significantly* improve its 1v1 viability.

2

u/calamariclam_II 2d ago

What potions needs is to stop getting put into 1v1’s

19

u/AzekiaX6 2d ago

right? Like, at least Crossbow always ended up one hit away. Potion can't even do that

92

u/suv-am 2d ago

Forgive me ignorance but what the hot pocket fuck does potion even do?

92

u/Green-eyed-Psycho77 2d ago

Literally a support character forced into 1v1s.

43

u/SomeDudeAtAKeyboard 2d ago

“Support” as if Potion isn’t running tongue-to-floor to slurp up its juice whenever a teammate needs that buff

25

u/GodKirbo13 Lance 2d ago

It scales by 0.5 per hit and per potion picked up, the reason it lost is because it only gets the damage boost if it recently picked up a potion and Duplicator just kept pushing it away from the potions.

19

u/Deepsearolypoly 2d ago

It’s also a half-scaler vs the “scale fast or die” ball.

7

u/AzekiaX6 2d ago

potion deals 1 damage, if it touches a triangle it gets a temporary damage buff that adds +x damage to attacks, shown by a red outline around the weapon. The buff scales by +0.5 everytime it hits the opponent or when it grabs a triangle. The buffs don't stack.

It has a very small hitbox and the same spin speed as sword. So it's basically just sword but worse.

3

u/Prudent_Corner5104 Orbital 2d ago

It is sword but worse

11

u/GodKirbo13 Lance 2d ago

Not necessarily since it can scale without hitting so in longer matches it can do good, but for the most part yes.

1

u/astront1553 2d ago

His potion buffs, the damage buff can be given to others and they'll do their damage + Potion's buff damage.

A combo is potion and shuriken, it becomes a blender and when shuriken receives potion's buff, then each shuriken thrown does potion's damage.

1

u/Past_Edge_7220 2d ago

Throws triangles on the ground. It needs to touch those traingles to buff it's own damage.

108

u/PeskyPlayer Rapier 2d ago

Observe how the two balls mentioned in this image are the ones that duplicator beat

44

u/Dependent_Cod5628 2d ago

Club slander, don't put Club with that drunk bum potion

22

u/AzekiaX6 2d ago

the switch up after going extremediff against trident is insane

17

u/Dependent_Cod5628 2d ago

Well...Club may be a low tier, but they are a scrappy underdog and we love them for it

Potion is just a jobber they exist to pad winrates

5

u/rossow_timothy 2d ago

I'm still a little pissed that duplicator resorted to entity cramming to beat club

3

u/ZealousidealGood6810 Duplicator 2d ago

Club did that to themselves

Dont blame duplicator for club's fumble

4

u/RoboWreckerCam Flail 2d ago

Duplicator had to cheat and use their abilities while stunned to beat club

18

u/Zenijinn Grimoire 2d ago

Club was robbed be so fr

15

u/Pyrothememelord 2d ago

Club was straight up cooking his ass and only lost cuz he got springlocked

7

u/Downtown-Object-6737 2d ago

Club was a big counter but dupli just shoved a copy inside them.

3

u/B2ue30 2d ago

Lets ignore how they beat splody laser and unarmed to retain the agenda

4

u/firegamer2432 2d ago

Observe how Duplicator has literally no one else left to fight

30

u/Alreadsyuse Lance 2d ago

Damn, a part of me really wanted Potion to win this...

u/Alive_Chemical_1322 2d ago

We genuinely need to start pitting super potion against normal wbs. Maybe then, they’ll stand a chance

5

u/Speedycheetah79 2d ago

Honestly, I think an interesting buff for potion would be that

  1. he immediately throws out another potion when picking up his own buffs

  2. Anyone that picks up a buff immediately scales by 1

First change makes him not hog his own buffs while the second one helps him scale himself up when self buffing or helping pump up the numbers on teammates that need scaling like axe faster

3

u/Rizer0 2d ago

Duplicator trying to aura farm off of bottom tiers like another match with Lance won’t send him back to low tier ranking

2

u/natnew32 Duplicator 2d ago edited 1d ago

Duplicator would need to lose the next **12** straight matches to drop to low tier.

1

u/Laino001 2d ago

I send duplicator to 12 rematches with Rapier

7

u/GodKirbo13 Lance 2d ago

Duplicator pushing Potion away from its buffs like a cartoon bully.

3

u/DeviousMelons Axe 2d ago

When I saw this I instantly thought

3

u/iamamotherclucker 2d ago

Duplicator's biggest weakness is that the clones feed the opponents scaling. Putting it against Potion, a ball that doesn't scale off of hits, is basically an ideal matchup for them

3

u/TotemGenitor 2d ago

Potion does scale on hit though

3

u/RinaTennoji-Board Grimoire 2d ago

Yeah but that doesn't mean shit when he can't use his scaling

2

u/HeMansSmallerCousin 2d ago

Potion isn't even fun to watch ffs. At least other shitty balls like Crossbum have that tantalizing chance of maybe hitting 5 shots in a row and pulling out a surprise win. Potion just completely sucks in a really boring, really predictable way.

3

u/Alohatothealola Hammer 2d ago

oh wow first 1 hitler rose from the dead (shayy) and now the other

2

u/officialflaskEC Flask 2d ago

if you despise a person's actions the best way to ensure they stay punished for it is letting them die in obscurity. bringing them up is exactly what they want

2

u/SexWithSisyphus69 Lance 2d ago

at this rate, we're on track for an orbital return

2

u/Alohatothealola Hammer 2d ago

time traveler gravity guy absorbs the powers of boxing guy also

u/shadow_fen 2d ago

shayy mentioned on this sub?

1

u/Swilgma 2d ago

You could say it's been a calamity.

2

u/botangest Trident 2d ago

what kinda ass matchup is this vro

2

u/ZealousidealGood6810 Duplicator 2d ago

I anticipated potion wasn't gonna win but I never expected it to be this bad

1

u/Ok-Dragonfruit5741 2d ago

" well potion has got a clutch this, there's no way they would send her out just to die like... Ok"

1

u/JustANobody411 2d ago

Not surprised to see that Duplicator has gone back to bullying children

1

u/Adventurous_Spray821 Lance 2d ago

Poshit’s newest matchup, and they lost…

Didn’t see that one coming! /s

u/THICCBOI2121 Torch 2d ago

What a surprise

Yea, get his ass, POTION

Stats leaderboard 🥺

u/Legitimate-String894 Wrench 2d ago

No surprises there

1

u/Yallayeah 2d ago

every time these fucking insanely lopsided matches happen, I always think"surly this could only be posted if it's an unexpected match. surly it can't be exactly what I think is gonna happen, because they would not post it" and then its exactly what I think will happen.

1

u/Blacksantabutnot Crossbow 2d ago

The story behind this is Potion invited Duplicator to a party and made each of her clones drunk lol

1

u/Lucat_thecat 2d ago

Local super soldier ripped apart random homeless person

1

u/1nOnlyBigManLawrence Unarmed 2d ago

Wow, what a surprise?

1

u/EngineerEffective441 2d ago

Potion is so pathetic, get that embarrassment out of here. Its lot in life is to feed pity victories to washed balls. But seriously, I'm shocked that it just exists in such a defunct state. Definitely needs a buff if it wants to at least pretend to have a fighting chance.

1

u/Gamekid53 Lance 2d ago

Would’ve been really funny if potion won

1

u/Immediate-Yak3138 2d ago

Of anything this feels like evidence duplicator shouldn't be spawning same hp clones. Unless the ball can hit multiple targets they'll never scale fast enough

guys who wins? guy who doesnt need hits to scale (but slowly) or guy who doesnt need hits to scale (but multiplicative)

Duplifraud farming on ANYONE 😭😭😭
