Oh don't get me started on Mirror crap. I had to bust my * in survival today to beat a mirror and cleanse team.

Wind main, Kakashi, Kabuto, and Kurenai. The KKK as I call them are the most unkillable team ever. If you try to debuff them at all you get mirrored. If you try to combo them you have to deal with return fire from Wind's Giant Rasengan over and over and over again. Plus this team has a crazy combo that leads to paralysis, ignition, AND jutsu denial. Kabuto's clones are just that extra helping of "I hate life".

Luckily you can keep trying in survival and I did find a comp that broke through it by finally destroying Kurenai. Thank god for Lightning Main's Lightning Armor.

Except it's not. Look at the ladder, all the top players are Wind or Fire.

The best lightning on our server is only 7th.

This is because Wind counters Lightning and has a Cleanse power while Fire has a passive that autoreflects status effects. So everything that's good about lightning these two counter hard. They also counter entire ninjas. Shikamaru is useless versus these two.

You failed to notice then that only 2 out of the top 10 are Lightning. With five classes, that's pretty balanced.

Sure, there's a ton of 100s as lightning but that's because bad players are bad and don't know how to strategize against damage dealers. So it ends up that whomever does the most damage wins. This is the same in games like Magic the Gathering where red burn decks destroy people. Heck, in HEX TCG there's a red burn deck making people cry in ladder mode, yet you'll never see that deck in the highest ranks. Aggressive playstyles rarely ever win against someone intelligent.

It's getting even worse here, Lightning moved down to rank 9. Notice how aside from two Azure Fangs, the rest of them are all Fire/Wind mains.
