then the fuckers nerfed it!

The most recent one would be Tenfold Flurry like Byrne mentioned, 10 arrows at once from a longbow does some serious damage.

Then there was the Focused Holy Bolt with a staff, with a high enough magic level that thing did some major damage at basically no cost.

Stealth Rock

The whole game had to be rearranged just so every team had a way of dealing with this one move



Oh yeah and Mega Ray

I cried like a little girl fighting this.

Extremely powerful.

in competitive pokémon, there exists a system of tiers that is based on how frequently each pokémon is used in the battle simulators--the more often a pokémon is used, the more viable it is in the metagame (because you wouldn't use a sucky pokémon if you wanted to win)

the main tiers are NU (never used), UU (under-used), and OU (over-used)
pokémon who are over-used tend to dominate the metagame

but there's also a special tier for pokémon that are too strong for the normal metagame--this is the "Uber" tier
this is where the most powerful legendary pokémon go (usually), and any pokémon that is considered "uber" is not allowed to be used in regular play

when ORAS came out, however, they introduced a slew of new mega evolutions
one of which was Mega Rayquaza

Mega Rayquaza is considered so strong, they banned from from Ubers
and now they have a brand new tier, "AG", "anything goes", where literally anything can go



it is the power creep

Jinx release.
That or when Taric had a .8 ratio on his W instead of a .4.

Some of the poisons for coating your sword in The Witcher 2 are pretty powerful. Makes fights super easy.

Any fucking machine gun in any game. Oh my god, just have a normal fucking gun and use the 30 or so bullets skillfuly, not fucking 200 that you can spray everywhere you fucking cunts.

Have you ever used the AR in Halo? Useless piece of shit until it was made decent in Halo 5.

Yeah LMGs were broken in BO2.

They were really strong but at least they were useful unlike the previous games.

the pistol in the first halo

what were they fucking thinking

They weren't, but it was a pretty beautiful accident they made.

Pre auto-update H2 dual pistols were quietly the most overpowered thing in the entire Halo series, but nobody notices them anymore.

My favorite shit to use in Halo 2. Dual pistols. That fire rate was off the damn charts.

Undertaker pre-nerfs.

At least you can't buy this little monster anymore.
