RMT of the Week V6: Week 4

[TPP]

RMT of the Week
co-hosted with Sun, IronBullet and Snowy.
​

Want your team noticed by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team and writing up your RMT to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! The aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve. There are a lot of teams out there that are well-built and presented, but often left in the dark. Not anymore!

Concept

• Every week, we will nominate a few teams as candidates for the RMT of the Week.
• These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving of the award.
• At the end of the week, the winner will be the team that receives the most votes.

Prizes

So what's in it for the winners? Well, the winning team will be announced on social media. It will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be posted in the OP for each week, and people are encouraged to rate it. Winning the RMT of the Week also increases the chance of having your RMT added to the Team Showcase, subject to review, since it brings it to the notice of the staff. Finally, the winner will have an opportunity to give a brief interview.

RMT Requirements

• Make sure your team is viable and effective: This one is self-explanatory. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1; a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
• Your team should be well-presented: Wouldn't you enjoy posting in a thread more if it was visually appealing? If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to improve the quality of your RMTs, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
• Be nice and receptive to people's opinions: No one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person!

For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. For friends of the people whose teams get selected, the same goes for you as well: please don't post the link in chat rooms to try and get people to vote.

The first time someone is caught cheating, their team will be disqualified and removed from the ongoing week. If someone is caught cheating for a second time, they will be permanently banned from the project.

[TPP]

We caught up with Week 3's winner Serene's Grace to ask her a few questions about her LC RMT: Northern Lights

1. Can you give a brief description of your team? What do you think is the reason behind its success?
My team is basically a "Light it up" style hyper offense where you set up the conditions to win, in this case veils+rocks, and then attempt to steamroll through with high powered sweepers. I think the team is successful because Aurora Veil is so damn powerful. It becomes very difficult to try and stop sweepers when they only take half damage.

2. Have you received any useful feedback for your team?

Yea sam-testings gave me good advice to add Hydro Pump on Shellder to muscle past common steel types as well as Mudbray.

3. Is there any advice you'd like to give to RMT posters?

A lot of RMT's end up being do nothing balances which aren't very productive to rate. When making a RMT make sure the team has a plan and purpose; that way it helps people understand your thought process and more importantly and makes sure you yourself are making something worth building and rating.

4. What are your thoughts regarding SM LC?

Definitely a lot of room for innovation, I think Aurora Veil is amazing, just need to convince the masses that its not a gimmick.

Thanks for the responses and congrats again!
