Also worth noting , unless you use a lot , buying in bulk to save a few bucks will just lead to you wasting it or throwing it away eventually . Buy what you can use , and don ' t skimp . Things like saffron , if you see a big and cheap bag of it , that stuff won ' t taste like anything , and it might even be fake . Those tiny , overpriced containers of saffron are accurately priced , it takes a lot of labor to collect that tiny amount . <| sep |> Master Rahool would love you <| sep |> No . There is literally NO counterplay to Vio other than have vio , be faster . Even then , if you don ' t get vio procs , you ' re probably gonna lose . I guess one shot everything is an option ? But guess what , that means whoever goes first wins anyway . Vio puts too much RNG to the game . It eliminates nearly every form of CC as being a viable option . Monsters like Theo , SINGLE TARGET NUKERS , shouldn ' t be able to clear your entire team in one turn . It ' s broken . It ' s not fun . The only people who think Vio is fun are the ones riding Vio procs to victory . You don ' t have Vio ? You lose in PvP . The argument of whoever is faster wins with no Vio isn ' t really a good one either because right now it ' s whoever procs Vio morefirst wins which is the exact same thing , but left up to RNG . when you combine that with the fact that Vio procs so much more on defense people have tested , and it ' s about 2 x as often it means that the game is skewed towards the player on defense . Vio fucking sucks . It makes new players hate PvP , and puts experienced players in the same position you ' re arguing against , with a bit of RNG involved .
