    I feel like normal cattle cows could be in S teir as well. They just have a slightly different play style. They sacrificed a lot of their play time for optimizng their build to be able to exploit the insanely OP human player's defensive infrastructure like fences, walls, guns and even human pets to keep them alive. And as a result they're able to copensate with an enourmous boost in the sheer number of playtroughs. Probably the most of almost any mammel except for maybe pigs and some small rodents. It means they don't really have to spec into any defensive stats or any main stat at all for that matter, except HP, and get a very easy playtrough most of the time. If you think about it, their play style is a lot more like mice/rats but way bigger and easier.

    I really like the stand alone videos on specific animal family groups, but I’d also love to see videos on certain outliers of said families that people seem to label as superior to the rest. For cattle it’s the gaur, ratites the cassowary, deer it’s the moose and as of late giant anteaters have been receiving credit for being able to fend off jaguars. I’d love a video discussing the cassowary, maybe calling it something like “The Problem with Ratites” given their general low placement on the tier list?

    • @rl9217
      @rl9217 Před rokem +40

      “Are all ratites low tier?” might be a more fitting title since people sometimes seem to also bring up the fact that Emus alongside cassowaries shouldn’t be F tier, the group of birds is so interesting so their own stand alone video discussing which place higher then others would be great. He already hearted the original comment so I hope that means the idea might happen one day, I love the more bird based videos.

    • @antarath517
      @antarath517 Před rokem +51

      I would suppose that the large dinosaurs were probably banned because they started to stifle build variety. I think the devs really wanted to see what a mammalian meta could look like
      Some of the builds like Notharctus simply got improved in general, so they lost their playerbase over time. Niche optimization is what's killed most builds, since you'll find very few that are willing to play a build that's slightly worse in every regard. It's also very hard to get into a legacy build when there are no mentors willing to take you under their wing.
      Builds like humans and cyanobacteria also alter the game rules, making a lot of builds less viable.

      Noobs clown on them because they game over when flipped on their backs, but I'd like to see their main stay in the game for this long, let alone without the ability to flip back on their feet. Any build that has been in the game for this long in spite of all the power creep is successful by default. Sure, stuff like mosasaurus looked cool and was absolutely oppressive back in its day, but where are they now? Some might argue that losing their playerbase equates losing the game, since spawning in new players is the main quest. Legacy builds deserve respect, even if they don't have all of the fancy features newer builds may have.

      Idunno, I feel like walls are C-tier at best
      sure they may have some of the highest defense stats in the game, and this stat can be further boosted thanks to the fortify ability from friendly players... but it comes at the cost of having all other stats near completely bottomed out. Not only does this mean an attack that can bypass a wall's defense will almost certainly cripple if not outright defeat it, but it also means that wall players are heavily reliant on other players to do much of anything. Heck, they're so reliant on other players that they can't even complete the game's main objective of reproduction without another player deciding that another wall player should be generated.
      A fun gimmick build, sure, and a strong defender at that. However, the over-reliance upon other playerbases to function severely cripples the walls' capabilities as a class. Now if they give it mobility or hunting skills in a future update, I can easily see it becoming a top-tier build, but for now it probably sits firmly in C-tier.

The guy had a gift for storytelling and by the end all of us felt a lot of empathy towards the plight of the poor buffalos. So right after he gets done telling us about how they're doing better now but really pulling on our heart strings to make us care about them, he ends with, "Oh and where we're going there's a restaurant that serves bison steaks you GOTTA try them they're so delicious."

      Actually that might make sense tho. Animals like cows, pigs and chickens are incredibly numerous because we raise and eat them, and encouraging people to eat bison might do the same, especially since there are between 200,000-500,000 Bison being raised for meat. Plus Bison will also attack and kill other bison during mating season so it’s not a problem to take one or two out (and perhaps enjoy the meat while you’re at it) to help keep the population healthy.

      Gaur are strong but do not seem nearly as aggressive as cape-buffalo. Just look at any footage of a tiger attacking them. It's hardly a struggle, because the tiger just grabs its throat and the guar just takes it. Hardly kicking, thrashing, or charging as expected with cape buffaloes. Their horns also do not do nearly the damage as a cape-buffalo's, due to more awkward shape (recurving almost behind their heads and not very sharp). Albeit gaur attacked by tigers are normally smaller females and make up a very small part of a tiger's diet; tiger actually prefer deer and boars. Thus didn't evolve under the same constant regular stressors as cape-buffaloes, which are regularly hunted by lions and hyenas.

      I don’t know if he would make one SPECIFICALLY about okapis. Also predators can smell them from far away which takes away from their stealth..maybe he could make one on the giraffe family (includes okapis)

      @@VelociraptorWithInternet true, but the fact to they can already walk within 30 minutes of birth is amazing. And unlike giraffes, they only have one natural predator(the African leopard) while giraffes have many predators. A video comparing the two would also be quite good, though
