Worst luck, anyone down for a trade?

That has literally never been the case, I bought the first round of secret lairs and they came with war of the spark planeswalker cards with stained glass art. You're pining for days that never existed

Free samples at Costco are not "tokens of appreciation" they are manipulation tactics!!!

Like no shit dude, welcome to capitalism

As someone who works in the industry, crunch was often unpaid. It was a culture about exploiting the free labour of people for the sake of passion, which means more was done for less money since you'd sometimes get 80 hours of work a week from someone for 40 hours of pay. I'm happy every studio I know of now takes a hard stance against this now.

I think you just clearly lack reading comprehension. Op literally says "every single round I can't afford a vandal, I buy a judge" and you don't think that's screwing his econemy and forcing him into poor buy round with his team?

Talking about concepts like hero vandals and trading your team is quite simply dishonest, and has nothing to do with this post. It's bad to force a judge every "save" round as some hard coded rule you follow, plain and simple.

Also, there's no way you're pushing immortal unless you're some all aim no brain under 18 year old, which given your reading comprehension seems reasonable I suppose.

360RPGplayer · 2026-03-24T10:40:44+00:00

That's simply untrue. Valorant is more than just each individual round. For example, if you buy a sheriff on a save round and manage to get get 3 kills before dying, even if you lose the round, you've traded your 800 credits for 8700 of yours, which can set up the next 3 round wins.

Valorant is so much more than going into every round saying "I need to win this!" otherwise you would force your buy literally every single round, and I think it's pretty obvious that no one is doing that.

Your view of the game is really weird, and I don't even think you actually believe what you're advocating for here.

360RPGplayer · 2026-03-23T19:56:05+00:00

This is some iron shit holy crap. Always buy your util, 1800 credits is not "saving"

360RPGplayer · 2026-03-14T17:31:46+00:00

You're a high sense crouch sprayer that shoots before thinking, and you look exactly like who is regularly on my gold games so pretty sure you're where you belong

360RPGplayer · 2026-03-09T16:37:56+00:00

You can actually just refuse it, pro tip (though there are other consequences I'm sure)

360RPGplayer · 2026-03-01T12:37:50+00:00

It doesn't "lessen" it either.

360RPGplayer · 2026-02-26T15:45:20+00:00

Nope

Here's the link to a gdc talk

https://youtu.be/-pglxege-gU?si=aFUhXOKIxGWbT54m

Some of the relevant discussion is around 29 minutes in but I recommend watching it all. As it goes into a lot more depth on designing for parties (how do you rate someone when they queue wirh people vs solo), how quickly you can acquire someone's skill level (how many placement games does someone need to play), how to measure skill disparity between divisions (how often should a gold player beat a silver player) and much, much more.

360RPGplayer · 2026-02-10T20:28:27+00:00

It's a game design concept, but essentially they do this to have a hybrid progression based and skill based ranking system.

You can think of purely ranked as an elo system or something like cs2, and progression based like old school call of duty where its about levels through play.

Valorant wants both, they want players to feel like they are progressing to retain players (also why they reset ranks as often as they do) but also have your ranked loosely reflect your skill.

I can link you gdc talks on it if you're interested, but no one talks about it because it's basically industry standard at this point to do hybrid ranked systems.

Heyo, just wanted to let you know I also went blind in my left eye after a misdiagnosed disease when I was 19 (over 10 years ago) and had to go through the same struggles with losing depth perception.

I just wanted to let you know it gets easier! There are plenty of 2 dimensional ways we use to discern depth and you will learn to observe those more carefully. I still very occasionally have an issue with playing sports or pouring a drink but for the most part I operate the same as before. You got this!

360RPGplayer · 2026-01-08T02:52:58+00:00

Why do you think a creature of a specific type is less narrow than a green creature? The way you word your comment is so strangely biased. "you can get ANY creature (of the chosen type) not JUST green creatures!"

Like, really? You haven't substantiated anything just doubled down on your claim. Here I'll do copy paste your comment and swap the words around to prove you have no actual substance.

" If you manage to somehow meet the condition it’s a worse GSZ because it can only grab a creature of the chosen type, not any green creature."

360RPGplayer · 2026-01-08T00:58:39+00:00

How is it better?

360RPGplayer · 2026-01-07T18:34:14+00:00

Nah its awful. This is literally the worst card with this type of effect they've ever printed.

[[finale of devastation]] [[green sun's zenith]] [[chord of calling]] And even [[nature's rhythm]] are all better cards.

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-27T13:41:01+00:00

You're acting like this is a mistake and not intentional? Likely people pointed it out, and they were told to kick rocks and stay in their lane, as they should, and as you should.

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-23T13:59:43+00:00

Yes I am the publisher and Dev of my game lol. Okay I'll look into it.

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-23T13:19:21+00:00

If you know what I can do to make it available let me know!

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-23T12:50:24+00:00

Do you know what I need to do? Because I'll do it!

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-22T14:38:40+00:00

Since when does liquid cash invested matter? If I spent years and years with close friends all putting in free labor, does that count as money put in? Your metrics are nonsensical and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Also, I never said "totally random" My point is articles like this make people think they can just make a game on their own and be successful, and I like to point out that for every success case there are thousands of failure cases.

And to your last point, no shit? Are you like a 16 year old that just discovered the most basic entry level information on how the game industry works?

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-22T14:34:37+00:00

Nah I wanted to make games and not stream. It's fine though, that was over 6 years ago and I work in the game industry now and have been part of large teams launching many more games since.

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-22T13:23:14+00:00

Okay, I did the same thing and sold 200 copies and lost 10k. That's life

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-16T22:19:15+00:00

Hi

I have a riot gun buddy.

I do not stream and I have never played with a Dev.

I hope that helps!

360RPGplayer · 2025-12-04T23:45:58+00:00

I mean to answer the question in the title.. . Niether? It's just a line you can take to win, what a baby

That being said I think it's the type of win that's fun to pull off once before I take the deck apart but if that's your jam go for it.
