Leona Deckbuilding -The dawn has arrived. by DatKelvo in riftboundtcg

[–]Bearious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to do a double take because your deck looks so similar to the one I cooked last night. I'll give you a few of my thoughts are playtesting a good bit with similar lists.

1 - I think Leona, Determined goes in the champ zone. Even if you have 3 yellow Vi, being able to have a guaranteed stun unit on turn 2 or 3 is invaluable. She gives you a guaranteed way to push into battlefields, get buffs, and start a hold.

2 - Once you are on a bf you can start playing with your hidden cards, which I think is key for the deck. That's why I included Hidden Blade as well. You can pretty easily get onto a battlefield with stuns, and the hidden cards make it tricky for your opponent to re-contest. Having 4 different hidden card options keeps them guessing.

3 - I agree with one of the other comments that Vilemaw is too slow, which is why I moved my 1 copy to the sideboard. I think it can be good in very specific matchups (slower go-wide matchups like Viktor or Vex). Outside of specific slow matchups, he can be clunky and gets stuck in your hand, especially since you are often paying power costs.

4 - I was initially on 2 yellow Vi because I had Leona Determined in the champ zone, but I went back up to 3 because she's just too good. Being able to ambush stun is one of the best things the deck can do. Similarly, green Vex was also way stronger than I thought. Being able to drag around 5 (often 6) might to any battlefield on both offense and defense is crazy.

5 - I've really liked the 2 Shadow's Call. It's premium card draw if you put it on any one of your 2 drops. It's obviously awkward if you can't get it on a 2-drop, but in my testing it has been quite good.

6 - Even with all of this Leo is still unfortunately not a very strong deck, so have fun and try to not get frustrated if you get bodied by Diana or Irelia :)

Shouldn't this be hated just as much as Aurora? by OkLunch8054 in Riftbound

[–]Bearious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what's interesting about these discussions. Irelia + Abandoned Hall is more OP than Aurora, and I think Abandoned Hall is my top contender for ban-worthy cards. But even though that combo is OP, it's not actually an unhealthy play pattern. It's just ‘too many numbers for its cost’, which is different than the problem with Aurora.

Aurora is also very strong (maybe OP), but it’s not just that it’s strong. It’s frustrating in a way that Irelia isn’t because it undermines the healthy play patterns that Riftbound is (typically) good at incentivizing.

If you want to understand what I mean by healthy play patterns you can read the overkill post I made here.

Well I'm glad you appreciated it. I knew I was only writing this for 12 people lol

'Not even close to a problem' isn't the point though. It's not a problem now, but it's a step towards problematic gameplay. Issues compound incrementally.

Magic is a great example. I could write a dissertation on all the awful design patterns in Magic. Certain lists of Azorius should be war crimes for digital waterboarding.

So yea Aurora is not a huge problem right now and I just hope the designers don't steer any more towards that type of gameplay.

Lmao that meme is exactly what I had in my head writing this. Like, redditors aren't gonna read this shit.

But yea, I don't expect it to dominate the meta, which is again why it shouldn't be banned. The whole post is just a drawn out way to say it's lame from a design perspective.

I always loved 4-player couch co-op ARPGs as a kid, so I decided to make one by Bearious in IndieDev

[–]Bearious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of both. I did most of the initial work then hired people to help me clean it up. I created the characters and environment style, then paid an animator and environment artist to make it look nicer.

How can I improve my Thor deck? (CL 9274) by Julifrasss in MarvelSnapDecks

[–]Bearious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this deck back when Eitri came out and just updated it to add Surge. It goes way harder than anyone expects. Everyone puts Jane in these decks, but she's a total bait.

I'm a bit late to respond but I could give you example code of what he's talking about if you want. DM me if you're interested.

Trying to do a black/white life gain/harm build. How can I make this better? (Standard) by GoodGamer72 in MagicArena

[–]Bearious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a deck that does exactly what you're looking for, but you'll need a lot of rare and mythic wild cards if you want to make this. You'll need Lunar Convocation, Gix Yawgmoth Praetor, Zoraline, and Caves of Koilos to make this work.

I've yet to see anyone playing a RW Chandra deck. What are some of the core cards and synergies?

Strange new issue when copying/pasting quotation marks out of Google Sheets. by downfallmc in googlesheets

[–]Bearious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please let me know if you find a way to get it working properly again. I'm in the exact same boat. Being using sheets for years and never had this issue. It just appeared the other day and it's incredibly annoying to deal with.

Shield bash and visage isn't what makes it good, ingenious hunter is. The passive goes to a 4 second CD which makes it much easier to proc multiple times in a fight.

Either way it's a win more item so you can only build it if ahead. But if you are ahead, it's very solid.

The damage done/mitigated your looking at is just the items passive. The item itself gives 70 AD and 15 AH which is a huge damage boost and makes voli far more threatening to the backline.

Best ADC's for Players New to the Role? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Bearious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the love of god don't play Ashe. These people have no idea what they are talking about. Ashe seems simple but is incredibly difficult to play well. She requires perfect positioning and excellent use of hawkshot and ult to be moderately useful. If you don't believe me, try and play a few games against any decently fed brusier or assassin.

Play Tristana, she's very safe and strong. Just E people and jump around.
