Suggeted Buff/Debuff Powerset: Internet Memes

Hello friendly forum faces, do you know what an internet meme is? Chances are, if you play a MMO like City of Heroes, and browse the forum... YOU PROBABLY DO. Wait, who said they don't? WAS IT YOU?!? Fine google it and I will wait until you return.

...

...

Alright, now that we all know what a meme is, here's my new powerset. It will be based around 9 selected popular memes, out of a huge pool of contenders. These are rickrolled-oops sorry, I mean rolled into one powerset. I won't explain the jokes, because as any decently read professor of humorology will tell you: "If you have to explain the joke, it isn't funny anymore."


1: Rick Roll

Buff. Target Player and 15ft AoE around them.
When you activate Rick Roll the targets on your team will have their CoH interface covered up by a video of Rick Astley performing his song "Never gonna give you up" on infinite loop. This video can be manually closed by the player at any time, but the memory of the event will be burned into their brain for all time. When you activate this power there is a chance for the targets to be unaffected and instead YOU will see the video. Yes, this power can fail and it can Rick Roll you.
Recharge: 300 seconds (this was calculated as the maximum length of time you can click on related videos on youtube before inevitably finding a Rick Roll.)


2: Arrow to the Knee

Debuff. Single Target.
I used to think this powerset was a good idea, but then I took an arrow to the knee. You fire an arrow from a bow withdrawn from "Hammerspace" with NO weapon redraw. You take careful aim and fire an arrow into the target's knee. This applies a 10,000,000 magnitude immobilize (unresistable) for exactly 5 seconds (unaffected by buffs and enhancements, unresistable) and during this time the target will describe one of their past desires, which they can no longer perform since taking an arrow to the knee. This dialogue could be repeated thousands of times throughout your adventure, due to lack of NPC text diversity. You killed their dream.
Recharge: 25 seconds.


3: lolcat can haz cheezburger

Debuff and minor damage: Targeted AoE 15ft (10 second duration).
Barrage the targeted foes with random cheezburgers and images of cats and poorly speeled capshuns. It is hilarious. The foes will have their movement and attack speeds debuffed by 40% and may become disoriented, while taking minor unresistable stupidity damage over time for 10 seconds.
Recharge: 30 seconds.


4: Rule 34

Debuff. Targets everything, allies, enemies, its effects are inescapable not unlike a black hole.
Nobody benefits, something, somewhere, somehow, something you loved dearly as a child and deeply respect... there is porn of it. Rule 34 can and will show you these images. The effects on the targets can range from mild disgust, to major disgust w/ nausea, to even pleasure if they are sick little monkies! Using this is a gambit to hope that your foes will be more adversely affected than your allies. May accidentally transmit computer viruses to affected targets.
Recharge: none, this power can be invoked as often as possible... hell it invokes itself pretty much all the time anyways. May cause permanent blindness.


5: The cake is a lie.

Lie. This power will grant you a tasty chocolate cake, it's so delicious and moist.
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: Huge Success. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. If you finish activating this power, there will be cake. Don't worry, any perceived danger is merely an illusion to "enhance" your testing experience. What does that mean? I can't tell you as part of a required test protocol. Now hurry and use this power to claim your cake.
Recharge: You're dead, but I'm still alive.


6: U mad bro?



Debuff: Targeted AoE 25ft radius 30 second duration.
Targets in the affected area get mad bro. Yes, this just happened, cry about it. NPCs will gain +100% damage buff but -50% tohit, 75%defense, and 75%resistance, with a chance to become confused and start yelling profanities at eachother. If used in PvP the targeted players will be forced to smash their heads into their keyboards in real life. Use of this power increases the likelihood of being "reported" by other players, but don't worry, they were just being little b*tches.
Recharge: 200 seconds.


7: Yo dawg I heard you...

Buff: Single target.
Yo dawg, I heard you like buffs, so I put a buff in your buff, so you can be OP while you are being OP. When activated, this buff will take common examples of what the target already has (for example: SR Scrapper, this will be positional defense) and buffs their buffs with more of the same. As another example, for any Blaster, simply put the word DAMAGE into the sentence like 5 times, and make all their attacks have 50% more base damage. This might help those Blasters stop complaining about being underpowered, but don't hold your breath. Special mention goes to any Melee AT pairing War Mace with Energy Aura. This buff will only make them Stronger and Prettier.
Recharge: 60 seconds.


8 O RLY?

Buff: Single Target, lasts 240 seconds.
You tell your teammate a fascinating fact, which they seem arbitrarily skeptical about...

"O RLY?" They ask.
"YA RLY" You reply.
The target receives a buff based on the knowledge exchanged, and uses it in their righteous quest to defeat anyone whom they deem as "an enemy". During this time, they may pass this buff on to others using a similar ORLY YARLY exchange, but the buff must be identical since they are passing on the same information you gave them. Hell they are probably just cntrl-C and cntrl-V'ing it. You may however, recharge permitting, tell the same person some other cool stuff. This will give them multiple different versions of the buff. The internet is a big place after all, lots of facts to learn guys.
Recharge: 240 seconds.


9(Thousand): It's Over 9000!

Buff: Self and allies PBAoE 25ft radius. Lasts over 9000 seconds.
Hey Arcanaville, what does your data say about this build's power level? "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!" What 9000! Activating this power makes you and your allies so strong, that the foes can't even comprehend your power and will destroy their scouters in fits of rage. Unfortunately, you need over 9000 endurance to activate this power. Only a few (Goku) people can do that, and sadly you are not one of them. You can't use this power. But damn dude if you could it would make you guys so strong, you could like blow up a planet with just one finger or something... I dunno.
Recharge: close to 9000 seconds but not quite over 9000.




That's pretty much it, I sincerely hope the Devs will consider this powerset and add it in a coming issue. I tried to mix Buffs and Debuffs because that seems to be what most people enjoy the most on their characters. Tell me what you think!

I lol'd a bunch. Ty.

Somewhere Sad Keanu is shedding a tear that you left him of the list.

That Owl rules!

It's like being in 2005/2006/2007 again.

Shadow, the internet didn't stop, the memes kept going. I tried to mix some oooooold memes in with some more current ones like the Skyrim memes, but history is tricky business.

Never said they stopped, just all ones that were run into the ground :P. But I'm an ex-channer and hate memebase and funnyjunk.

I'm... sorry to hear about being an ex-channer. Those were dark times for many of us. One of the memories I can't burn from my brain is the first time I found that website. I don't bother checking chan anymore, unlike Newgrounds which constantly supplies me with awesome flash movies/games and I will check it every few weeks or so. Memes still find their way there too, but that's how it will be on any website with high enough traffic. How do you evade the memes, they even found you on the CoH forum? We even have our own CoH specific memes: Strong and Pretty is already an "Ascended Meme" since it became an actual badge.

Speaking of which, that meme with the little girl that says 'I can count to potato' found out about it, and the mother is super upset.

I'm kind of a reddit person myself now.

Also the downs girl's mom is blaming Facebook for it -_-;. I can see being upset over it but it'd be best to dive into a little more research than striking the first site you see; especially when Facebook isn't responsible for that content.

That's like holding Paragon responsible if a kid turns off the chat filter himself and then sees someone spamming profanity in the chat.

Also yes I was always a fan of the Strong&Pretty meme. That's kind of different. It's not something that's literally everywhere.

"I USED HUR DUR OVER 9000 MUDKIPS BATTLETOADS IS A LIE, BUT THEN I HERPADURIOTTKLGTH" D:

You forgot the Incarnate branch "All your base are belong to us"

How long until a Mod locks this thread for not talking about the powers in a more general discussion-like way or because of all the external links I keep bringing into this?
