If you are watching this under the pretense that they are going to create 'new tech ideas' in every episode, you are watching for the wrong reasons. Yes, augmented reality/matrix plug in/brain wave input has been done before, that's not the point. The writer is showing an example of situations...

?? It'd be easier to balance. It gives a bigger margin for error. If they accidentally print an OP card, not just one class has access to it. If other classes had spirit claws, totem golem and maelstrom portal, midrange shaman wouldn't be as dominate. As for what others have said, yea I was...

I think this expansion is going to have some kind of neutral class cards, like maybe they can used by multiple classes. They changed ethereal peddler's wording and said it was to make it work better with future cards. So, for example, a spell/minion that can be used by Rogue, mage and warrior...

I'm sure if you play the match up right it can swing quite a bit, too. A lot of shaman players probably over-commit to the board, thinking 'lol he isnt doing anything, im gonna crush him' then get brawl'd. Might be same for good control warrior players too, though. You probably play the match...

why wouldn't it? They have tons of win condition level threats, so if you just space them out it so you don't get wrecked by brawl, seems like a winnable matchup. Vicious syndicate has it as a 49% winrate for shaman, so pretty close to a coin flip.

I'm through 5 episodes, one left, and so far it has happened in each episode, but not all at the beginning. So, I think it is intentional by the writer/producer of the show, or possibly just a subconscious word association thing that each director has coincidentally put into their episodes due...

Spoilers for all current matches below

There are more good 'mech' cards that you might play anyway? Its still broken as shit, but i can at least see how someone bad at balancing thought it was fine. If i were to remake it, id make it a 1/3 that gets +1 permanently f you have a spellpower minion when its played.

You've got it totally right.. but for whatever reason I'm one of like a dozen people in the world who thought avengers2 was still pretty good, it's the bottom of tier1 for me. I think a lot of people liked it well enough when it came out, but the people who hated it swayed a lot of people's...

Fair enough. Guess everyone uses the internet differently. I just know I'm tired of seeing everyone calling each other cuck all over the place. I don't know exactly where it happened, or why, but I'm getting tired of Gretchen's depression shit. In the first season, her and jimmy seemed like...

I'm gonna feel dumb if I'm just now noticing, but is it a recurring gag that they start each episode by having the character looking/look into a mirror? I just noticed it on the first two episodes of this season, and Im vaguely recalling it happening in other episodes as well.

I'm not quite through with episode 1, but the first half was annoying as fuck.. started getting good halfway through, just before the truck lady.

Well, just got off work, gonna head home and can't wait to check this series out based on what you guys are saying. I'm glad it sounds like it's a pretty good match so far. If I post about the game, I'll make sure it's in spoiler tags for first 24hrs at least. I think that's a fair rule for...

Does your wife not use the internet? :-D Cant seem to get away from the word on the net lately.

Loved that. The show throws the occasional 'wtf? moment in here and there that have all been hilarious.

Check out the eternal thread. I posted recently, and dont want to derail this thread too much, but it was very good at first, imo. But, my most recent post over there outlines a few of the problems i have with it now. Eternal the Card Game

I have yet to find a honeydew only vape that i liked, but when it gets mixed with other fruits it has made some good flavors. Every company does their flavors a little differently, too. Im always weary about buying a flavor without trying it, even from my favorite companies. In any case...

Once they get to a certain point in the game, if they win a teamfight they can push down a lot of towers/inhibs before the enemy spawns too. The only way to change that would be to massively the defenses of structures or lower respawn times. Both of which would lead to long, stalled out games...

wow.. you really never comprehended that was the exact point I made. YOU said Which is what I was responding to. It was never an analogy for the current meta, it's a way to understand how metas change when wins/losses and eliminations are introduced during an event or tournament. I...

I said, in a hypothetical example as an illustration, that if shaman had a 100% lossrate against mage, 100% winrate against other decks, and 50% winrate in the mirror.. that they would thin out 'a bit', not completely. Paper becomes a larger percentage, not the 'largest' percentage yet. Shaman...

err.. no.. it isn't. Exactly.. Although, it's now mage followed by shaman/rogue in 2nd, then the rest clumped together.. paladin fell pretty far down after all the recent changes. But, it's not all 'anti-mage' decks at the top end, aka priests, it's still mostly mages. The only class that...

I oversimplified it, but I think you read it wrong a little too. Paper would be the one that is 50% favorable, 25% poor, 25% tossup to start. Think you meant paper in the first sentence, and rock in the second. However, when you run it out, the rocks start to thin out a bit from beating each...

I said that I thought that C9, in this current year's worlds, making it out of the group stage, was the first time an NA based team had done so since the koreans rose to power. I.e. ignoring the first season when it was all NA/EU teams, and s2 when they still hadn't solidly become the reigning...

oh I see now. Yea no, the design team 'designs' the mechanics of the cards themselves. The actual rules of the game are very similar to magic, as a result.

Not sure where that comment is coming from.. don't think they were ever trying to copy MTG's art style. It's more steampunk/western mixed with fantasy as well. There's tons of guns/cowboys/etc..

unless shaman is literally like 75%+ of the field, or you find a deck with a positive winrate against them AND decent chances against anything else, playing an 'anti-shaman' deck that loses to other stuff is probably a bad idea. MTG meta gaming has taught me you'd rather play the shaman deck...

This isnt season 3? They went 3-3 in groups this year. I said this was the first year a NA team made it out of groups, by actually playing their way out. I thought you were making a comment about c9 making it to quarterfinals back in season 3 or so, when they had a bye through groups.

They made a point of lingering on a screen of windows 3.1 in one of the shots, which seems like potential foreshadowing that microsoft will be involved somehow. It may have been to establish the time change as well, but they managed that in other ways. I could see another time jump between the...

I don't understand the point here.. The players that have a decent shot of getting 12 wins, which is who this seems geared for, don't need the rewards that much. The golden legendaries, maybe, but most of the rest aren't all that important to people like amaz, reynad, etc.. Even those players...

so.. I can't fully explain why, but I seem to have lost interest in playing this. I got heavy into it, finished a couple tier1 aggro decks and tier2 feln deck, grinded up to gold in ranked and draft.. then I kinda stopped playing for the last week or two. I think the gameplay and meta is too...

In season 3? Yea maybe, I don't recall exactly but they used to do something like that, but if so then my point still stands. It's the first time an NA team has actually fought their way out of groups into quarterfinals, I believe. I could be wrong. TSM also got very close, and it's almost...

Yes and no. If riot's plans dont make them enough money, then yea possibly. Or, the most popular teams wont focus on winning, since they can make more from streaming, but an up and coming team will have to in order to sell their team icons and such. In other words, teams like TSM with super...

Monte had 'monte's musings' video recently about TSM/NA that explained the situation really well, and why TSM dominated the last split. So, normally a large amount of income for NA teams comes from their streaming. They get some sponsorships and income from Riot now as well, but their...

Because, even the best reactionary tool (aka 'answer') is still happening the turn after. You can't do it during their turn like in other games. But, yes, the more competitive players would love if there was non-RNG cards that could combat the RNG cards. However, they'd have to be very good to...
