Pavlov posted:Oh, well if it's a gimmick team Nuffle can probably forgive you. You must have done something else to piss him off. It could just be confirmation bias to some degree and having too few games for "proper statistics" to kick in. Losing a guy every kickoff has happened very, very often. But I haven't kept track mid-match, because I'm busy trying to keep the remaining dudes alive. It's possible I'm just looking for Nuffle's blessing in the wrong place. I mean, I HAVE only lost one match with them. And usually there's still six to eight dudes left on the green at the end, that's something to cheer for. In an argument over the general usefulness of ST, it is the obvious choice in most situations. In a situation where you're not purposefully trying to limit your TV, I would take the stat and hope for the best in the vast majority of cases. That said, if you are limiting TV, 50 is a lot. That's a blodger and then some. It's 10 short of a whole 'nother lino. Duuk fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jun 21, 2014 |

Yeah, Nuffle shows his blessing and curse in very bizarre ways. I was taking my Los Angeles Bloodlines (Undead) for a spin to try out my new shiny Pass Wight, Sebastian LaCroix, and ran into a 1450 TV Chaos team. Almost everybody on that team had Block (except the Mino and maybe one or two Beastmen), several guys had Claw. I had only a few guys with Block beyond natural skills. I was ready to abandon the match at any given moment, should players start dropping, and was expecting the worst. The game turned into a bloodbath, but not in the way I expected. By halftime, I had Badly Hurt three guys and KO'ed two, whereas he had KO'ed one and Badly Hurt one. By the end of the game, eight of his players had gotten injured, two with stat losses, whereas I had two guys injured, one missing the next game. I still lost 0-1 on a last turn TD because I was too busy having a great time murdering dudes and the dice went his way at one point. I also didn't throw a single pass because there was too much punching going on. I've also killed four players with this team so far in four games. Things are going surprisingly well.

It's me, I'm the monster. But goddamn is Khorne a lot of fun to play once you get a few skills. Also, read the chat box. I am a very chatty blood bowl player. I insult you, and my own players.

I tried playing this game because of this LP, trying out an Amazon team, and I suffered 8 Cas (3 of them Dead) in my first game. I still don't think that's anywhere near as tragic as what just happened to Flesh Prince. Goodbye, sweet prince.

Well you can't say Beefslab is any worse than The Flesh Prince now. If most of the players in our dugout right now don't stand up next half we are hosed, straight up. Most of our important positionals are in there

Veloxyll posted:SDS, how are you wrong about skills so often Chaos Pact, OP team, throw a Mino in there, have them do mino things, cool big guy alongside the others. Chaos, dull team unless you build them for agi, stick a mino in the team, use them like a Beast of Nurgle, use them like a Rogre, use them like an Ogre team Ogre, whatever, it's all good. Chaos Dwarves, add a Mino, don't just be a Bull Centaur and Guard/MB/maybe Claw Chorf team. Cool.

 Soviet Red is the best god drat team. And yeah, blitzing Stalin basically spelled your doom. You don't invade Russia, and you don't blitz Stalin.And so far, blitzing Stalin is 2 for 2 as far as somebody eventually committing suicide is concerned.

Man, you guys were harsh on beefslab. I mean yeah he dubskulled twice, but he also helped keep the pitch clean with equal success to the thirster until you sacrificed the flesh prince to it. Nuffle must truly be pleased with you, that's two dead dead players already.

Yeah Wights are sort of weird because I seem to recall they're not raised with Necromancy per se. They're ancient warriors who rise from burial mounds with crazy magical death blades that Necromancy just wakes up. Also as I think about it bringing undead things up against Khorne was just begging for trouble, I mean they can practically see the skulls right there waiting for them to grab them and lay them on their dark god's throne. Can you blame them for getting all punchy to take those precious, precious skulls?

So, the modus operandi when facing Dwarves, especially as a squishy rookie team, is just "don't do it"? Because I just started a new Wood Elf team, went into matchmaking on Auld, ran into Dwarves, and then abandoned. But that wasn't the weird part. I then went into matchmaking again, and ran into the same loving dwarves. This time, I decided to try and play. I ended up kicking to them, they got Quick Snap, got into good position, made four blocks, one of which ended up with a Lineman taking a Pinched Nerve and one ended up surfing another Lineman to death and I abandoned again because gently caress that noise.

jBrereton posted:Be two squares back so they can't quick snap into you. And yes, you can dodge the match I guess, that's an advantage of online leagues. Give it a minute before you queue again and you're unlikely to run into the same team twice. Well, being back wouldn't have helped, as the four blocks were my three guys on the LOS and a blitz by the Troll Slayer. I just switched teams instead (Norse now), hoping the TV difference would keep me from playing them, and I just got a High Elf team, so I guess that worked.

Soviet Red fills the most important part of making a Blood Bowl team, having a good gimmick. It isn't as well done as some of my teams for puns, but it has a fun gimmick. Also, fun fact about Cyanide Blood Bowl. By default, General Giorgy Zhukov is censored and you can't make a player with that name. You actually have to go into the game files and delete the censored list for the name to work. Gaghskull fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Well your LOS is usually a write-off against Dwarves unless you outstrength and outguard them. There are some teams that can (Lizards, Chaos, Nurgle, Orcs, Ogres, and Khemri, plus probably a couple I forgot), but most realistically can't.
