This game rules. IMO it's better than Eternal as an overall game, and better than Magic Arena as a BO1 game. Heck it might be a better mechanical game than Magic. Just have to see how the development works over time.

Bust Rodd posted:There’s frankly way too many different mechanics that have basically no counter play for this to be a stronger game mechanically. like Fiora for example there are just too many decks in the game that has literally no way of stopping that win condition, or puffcaps. There is nothing in MtG as annoying as Puffcaps. I don't mean game card mechanics, so sorry for lack of clarity. I mean the actual way the game works.

Pilchenstein posted:I've not had a single opponent that wasn't playing a control deck today, it's been utterly loving mind numbing. I'm definitely seeing a small increase in direct-damage based removal decks. Small sample size, but yeah. Qubee posted:Ended up in a mirror match, was totally respectful to the opponent. I was coming out on top though, just overall playing better and making better trades, but zero emoji spam other than starting wave. 3rd round he plays a Laurent Challenger, so I play one as well. He attacks so I just block it. Next round, I summon a 2/1 challenger, he summons a 2/2 and 1/1 spider (from that card). I skip and he attacks and drags my Laurent guy in with his one. I prismatic barrier. He gets his 1/1 spider to single combat and break the barrier, but I single combat his 2/2 spider, get hit by the 1/1, and finish off his Laurent. So 3 kills for my 1. Yeah, I really want to finish some Demacia midrange beefer deck. They are statistically amazing right now. ShaneB fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Mar 25, 2020 |

Just build Elusives. It's dirt cheap and extremely good all the way to masters. edit: however I found it dull after a bit and have been much more interested in Discard aggro with Draven/Jinx. It's so much fun and nearly as good, statistically. ShaneB fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 29, 2020 |

Since the game is on mobile if you get the apk directly, I've had more screwing around time on the game. I've realized that on non-ladder about half the players either instant concede or are AFK. It's amazing for XP. I've just hit 13+ vault already. If they want to play it out I'll either play or concede.

The real problem with unranked is most people, and I literally mean more than 50%, aren't playing unranked to actually play.

I've been using this week to test farming Normal mode for XP. It's mildly tedious but incredibly easy in your down time or if you have the mobile app. Based on .. maybe nearly 100 games, I dunno, I'd say about 1/4 of my games actually happen. Maybe half scoop immediately or if you indicate you will be playing at all and aren't also scooping. Another quarter just rope and never concede, but don't actually play. The last quarter are games that happen. Sometimes I will scoop if the matchup is horrid and they wanna play, or I mulligan and have like 4 5-drops, but I'll just play those out for fun. I'm currently at +4 bonus capsules past vault13. It's ridiculous. Certainly not something I wanna do every week I guess but it's so easy and mindless, and part of the run of the game for me right now is just the carrot of getting to a high collection percentage and also preparing for the new cards/set coming later this month. It's also been really good for moving me into the higher reward track bonuses on the regions to finish those off at least to 18 each (the last champ wild).

No Wave posted:I don't get it. I've played normal probably 100 times and have only gotten instant concedes 5 times. I see Zed/Hecarim more than anything else. I'm jealous, really, I'd enjoy the free XP. I also see the same people surprisingly often. Like I've definitely seen 3-4 of the same account names at least 4x this week.

mistaya posted:A LOT of this game revolves around playing unit cards only when they can be protected. Like, you can play Zed with three mana. Then your opponent kills him with a 2 mana spell. poo poo. Or you can play Zed with 6 mana on the following turn, and then when your opponent tries to kill him you have three mana to use a spell of your own to protect him. They end up trading their spell for your spell and Zed goes on to do Zed things. This is what you want to do with your barriers vs. Frostbite. If they have a wolf on the board and you have a Garen in hand, don't play him until you draw the riposte to protect him. A ton of this game is basically maximizing getting more value out of a card than your opponent, for sure, whether that's a small mana advantage in the example you are giving, or 2-for-1'ing them. If your 2/4 challenger unit gets 2 of their units off the battlefield, that's a huge win for you.

I found Frejlord heavy Ashe decks to be absurd, and I know Elusives is nearly busted if you get a concentration of Elusive units.

I've been messing with the Draven/Ez deck that basically buys time until you drop a leveled up Ez and go off with a bunch of Burst spells. Kinda fun, in the "I know this has to be irritating my opponent" kinda way, but not my favorite deck.

Yasuo is gonna tilt me for awhile now I sus. What removal deals with him cleanly besides like a 4 mana beam or Vengeance at 7? Hope to Guillotine him? Going to have to go back to trick-based stuff I guess. I figure a go-wide deck should be good enough against people trying Stun stuff, right? Can't stun all my stuff...

Bust Rodd posted:I would argue Runeterra decks don’t have more wincons, every deck just runs less removal than other games offer. This game seems very engineered around big clogged boards smashing into each other, which is why elusives was such a boogeyman for its entire existence. It's still a t1 deck.

Bust Rodd posted:This is sort of how I feel about the entire game. I just don’t really enjoy the way these champs snowball, I feel like this game has less counterplay and there are too many cards where the window of opportunity to get underneath them is only 1-2 turns, which would be fair if removal was good and reliable, but it isn’t. If you're not into it feel free to just stay in the magic thread

Been playing this for a day on Normal, seeing a lot of actual decks (besides not much Demacia mid), and am like 12-2 or so? It's very fast. https://lor.mobalytics.gg/decks/bqaagh7lke2725ciovt0 I was contemplating ditching a single Blade's Edge and a Statikk Shock for 2 Brothers' Bond, but interestingly killing your own creatures to avoid lifegain or drain from your opponent is frequently worth the 2-for-1, along with removing cheap blockers on the other side. I still am not sold on a low-damage spell like Statikk over maybe a singleton Jinx, but it DOES cycle or can be pitched to a Rummage or Get Excited if you need to I guess. I do frequently love Brothers' Bond + Used Cask Salesman, however, as you can get some blowouts there. Late game fuel from the Chump Whump + Rummage duo is really nice, as well.

Pilchenstein posted:This is pretty fun and it seems to actually force Ez/Karma players to get involved in the game but they still usually win and it seems to do really badly versus spiders, at least at my skill level Yeah spiders is probably just better. I definitely beat most slow decks with it. But I've switched to spiders again for trying to get to Plat. 2 wins left. Edit: I think I won like 8 or 9 straight to make plat, sheesh.
