This meta has been rough for lightning

[@Thunder_Mage]

@@Icedragon2k Yep, just gotta be patient and wait it out

Your ability to hoard is commendable, but the meta has moved on oh so far from your lightning team.
Guess you are going to be the real deal once young Owe makes his entrance (considering they make him strong).

Yeah I don't want to play whatever just because it's meta. That's not how I do things. Sure, I'll use the best lightning units that are available to me, but if there's no lightning in my team then there's really no point for me to play.
And I skipped a lot of the recent stuff because I don't have A2's VC anyway, so even if I grabbed Jeume and Cloud my team wouldn't be as strong as other people's. It would frankly be a waste of vis for me right now.
I'm fully prepared to not do great in this week's quick pick (and possibly next month's class match as well). I'm recording to give people and my guildmates something to watch, and I don't want anyone to think I ragequit or took a break from uploading just because of the current meta.

@@Thunder_Mage Why such dedication to lightning in the first place? :))

[@Thunder_Mage]

@@Mr6646334 A long, long time ago I decided if I was going to have a favorite element then I'm gonna go all the way with it and treat it like a religion. So whenever I play a game that has the option to play as or main a lightning-themed character (and/or a mage), I will always try to do that at least on my first playthrough.
The biggest influence for me as a kid was how in Pokemon gym leaders and elite four members always specialize in a single type, I admired the dedication. My favorite legendary was Raikou so I went with electric.

@@Thunder_Mage This is very interesting :)
This logic does hinder you from getting inot top gvg play where meta units/teams are required. I am in a top 5 guild, so I need to navigate between my personal preferences and guild's requirements. But as long as the approach makes the game fun for you, this is the perfect way to handle it.

@@Mr6646334 Yeah I'm in a top 80 or so guild so we can just play whatever we feel like
