Re: ever find that one team...?

To weigh in on MPD, I find it to be double edged in that it both encourages creativity (using a counter pet that you might not otherwise use) but sometimes has you using a pet is suboptimal against other popular teams.
Right now, I am using an infected squirrel. Some idiot keeps running a triple MPD team. My team has an S/S rabbit and a squirrel but I've found that given the right amount of anticipation on my part, I can almost solo all three with the infected squirrel. This requires dropping an infected fungus on a turn where they do not decoy, and then using Stampede to clear the decoy and double the damage.
The squirrel can be so-so in other MUs as I find the third skill option to not be as complimentary as I would like. I'm using an H/P right now. The P/B might be more effective in other MUs.
I can't help being competitive in this game and to echo an earlier poster, I get most unnerved when people stack the same pet. Those teams are arguably the weakest IF the opponent knows what is coming. Yet with a battle queue like we have, you usually don't know what you are going to face. In other words, these types of teams are designed to exploit the format.
Pet peeve number two: teams that stack pets that have long animation sequences. The Weebom, imo, is the worst offender as far as this is concerned. It's humiliating enough to lose to triple Weebom--having to sit through the damned efforts of each one to run into the back line at a labored pace really unnerves me.
This thread is really informative. I am glad to see people sharing pet teams.
And to the @ss who plays triple MPD, at least have the courtesy to not go AFK when you are losing to me.
