You would be totally right, if MyNet would stop locking important cards (like Amalgation cards) that newbies need to progress behind ranking like they are doing now and were NOT doing before.

Tide is inconsequential in the long run. If you are missing Tide, you just need one more proc per battle. Hiraga makes a much greater difference because being able to do a 20+ mil overkill in EH determines whether you can actually get points fast enough to rank or be forever behind, no matter how many other GURs you have.

The game is different now from when you played, and you really need to actually read what people are complaining about before trying to dismiss them. Back in the old days, you will catch up if you play for long enough since you just need to be able to kill AWs. Right now, that's not the meta at all.

LAWs having real skills isn't what matters. Summer Snow is a useful LAW with a real skill, and yet, even as an unleasher-nuller she's nothing like the game-chamging Hiraga or HH. The amount of points you get with a 25 mil overkill is 4-5 times as much as that of a standard 999999 overkill on all enemies. You don't just compete with that using "good cards". You do it with salvos and salvos only.
