Hey,
Sorry to bother, but I need to ask for your thoughts and your permission on maybe posting a thread in the staff discussion forum regarding how we format profiles for Glass Cannons. I've noticed an issue in the way we format the AP, Durability, and Striking Strength sections for Glass Cannon characters, as they're inconsistent in how we organize them.
Some profiles like
MCU Sorcerers,
Legionises from Astral Chain (pre-sync),
Human Torch,
Magneto,
Sans, and several others have:
Tier/AP: X-X physically (or just no word at all), X-X with X
Striking Strength: [Insert "Physical" Tier]
Durability: [Insert "Physical" Tier](, X level with Shields/Forcefields/Magic Shields/Against X attacks/etc.)
Whereas other glass canons such as
Dabi,
Raven (Teen Titans),
Toph and
Katara, and most other benders,
Comics Strange, and many others don't even mention physical stats in their "Tier" section and instead just use whatever their AP is with their regular means of attacking alone. Their profiles look mostly like this:
Tier/AP: X-X (with X)
Striking Strength: [Insert "Physical" Tier]
Durability: [Insert "Physical" Tier](, X level with Shields/Forcefields/Magic Shields/Against X attacks/etc.)
I believe this is an issue because on one hand, people don't often take a look at the Durability section, and often times just naturally assume it's equal to their Tier/Ap sections, unless said sections mention a physically tier, as that indicates that their actual physical statistics are lower than their typical means of combat, leading people to check the Dura section. On the other hand, the tier/AP sections are meant to indicate a character's destructive capacity, and more often than not, Glass Cannons typically prefer to NOT fight through physical means, and instead fight with their powers, so some could view it as not making sense to list their physical statistics in the Tier and AP sections.
Do you think this important enough to warrant its own thread in the staff discussion, and if so, do I have permission to do so? I've asked Ant, but they said they were unsure and said to come to you.
