took forever to render these videos, and then i had to upload them to streamable anyway since they were too big to get under 50 MB for a post. either way, two runs done with ellen, one with buffs off, one with buffs on. i play like trash in both of these, especially the buffs off one, since I haven't played unbuffed ellen since she got buffed (obviously) and she feels absurdly gross to play without her new moves now. i wasn't trying to make it look worse on purpose its just rust and i didn't want to play it for longer than i needed too. either way, without the new glacial wave attack, i have to spend way more time dodging or fielding lyacon (who actually has an invincible dodge counter) to deal with the spin attacks. this means ellen is doing less on-field damage, not using her stacks, and is building less energy and decibels, which hurts her stun rotations. i literally almost did not get ult in time for the first stun in the unbuffed rotation because she builds decibels way slower with her old playstyle, which is absurd. i genuinely can't understand what you could be doing to think that her changes are a nerf.

gear disclosure for transparency:
M1W1 ellen (hugo engine)
M0W2 trigger (qingyi engine)
M2W1 lyacon (hellfire)
ellen is on woodpecker 4pc + B&B 2pc
trigger is on shockstar because i can generally get an extra stun out of the run with it, didn't happen this time since i played sloppy though. proto punk might be better.
lyacon is on summit.
also, in the time i was rendering those I did some more attempts on marionettes and got another 2K points. i think if i was autistic enough to try and optimize freeze procs so they always landed inside stun, i could consistently pull off 34-35K but i don't think i want to sweat that level of optimization right now.
this took so long that this guy might not even be reading the thread, but he annoyed me so much that I had to do this, since Ellen's buffs are the most fun thing they've added to the game and he was being beyond retarded
