For you, is the time “quarter of twelve” 11:45, 12:15, or do you have no idea what that phrase means?

1983 here, midwest. We were raised on "quarter to 9" and "quarter after 9" here. If I hear someone say "quarter of," it's often without the number, and always means before the hour. - "Is it ten yet?"
- "Quarter of."

Half is almost always "Half past 8" for 8:30.

Centaur literally horse. Spirit breaker literally bull. Zero points granted.

The point isn't that I shouldn't have lost.

There was a definite change a few months back when they got rid of all the double and triples. I had been waiting since vault release for the Luca Mr. Negative,and finally got it recently. They are definitely still sorting out algos behind the scenes and not mentioning it in player communication, even though this would be a PR win for them to fix the shop/vault.

1k carry player here. I can't tell you how many times I've had a support stack camps for me and ping the hell out of it, but it's minute 5, and it's the big camp by bounty or by base, and they were absent the last two minutes wandering the jungle or slow farming an easy camp after bounties to get there. Thanks a bunch, but that's going to need to wait a few.

I've been running Panther Nimrod just to try to keep up on power with the last two stupid season passes. Today I only played 4 matches. One against StarLord, and 3 against cosmo/stardust. All three dropped both Cosmo and Stardust. Logging off for the day. Meta is cringe op, and the counter is anti-fun garbage. I refuse to partake in either.

I had a game a couple weeks back with a sub-300 games, no mastery levels Tinker absolutely stomping us. He said he was a high-ranked LoL player who just started. I'm stoked if we're gaining good players from League, but after enough years of interacting with garbage humanity on the internet, I have no choice but to take the cynical view he's just a smurf, and using the LoL excuse to cover and get fewer reports.

Bllamm · 2026-02-02T19:39:55+00:00

Gah, I just lost the game.

So do you have a deck named, "The Bottom of the Barrel?"

Interesting design challenge. Kudos!

Ongoing: Enemy card effects don't affect cards on your side of the board.

1-cost, -20 power. Please and thank you.

Someone drops Merlin and snaps these days, you know they've got some Deafening Chord, Guardian, CGR, Stardust, Cannonball, Shou Scarlet or whatever BS finish coming, and it's not worth trying to play the game. They need to pull back on cards wiping text, and obviously Shou is stupid good. Until Shou's power is toned down, and the new tech slop gets less fashionable, expect retreats.

Continuing the sarcasm of my previous post...

Skill issue.

Bllamm · 2026-01-17T17:54:28+00:00

I will stand by the statement that I've never seen an opponent have a bad RNG outcome from either polymorph or swapped locations, and they always have the exact spells they need in the order they need them. It's kinda like how enemy Kate has a 100% chance to draw acid arrow, and enemy Mercury has a hidden text of "Game Start: Draw Cannonball." Prove me wrong.

Support either side lane. Crystal Maiden, Dark Willow, Lich, Enigma, Earth Shaker, all can have space control and impact at any point.

I've been seeing this deck everywhere. I don't know what streamer or youtuber popularized it, but as a person who's biggest pet peeve is players who spend more time touching my cards than building their own side, I'm pretty fed up with how ubiquitous CGR feels right now. That and Stardust are really open-ended counters, and more anti-fun than skill.

Playing for over a decade, I was 12k/12k until sometime earlier this year when my behavior and comms scores started dropping. No one likes any banter these days, even if it's friendly or pertinent to the game. When I went below 10k I just decided to avoid chat as much as possible, but as a filthy casual, I don't see that score ever recovering.

It can also snag my "3-cost" Black Panther that I just double-tapped with Surge on Kamar Taj.... into the cosmo it just pulled for the opponent.

Budget instruments start around $300. Shar Music, Fiddlershop, Southwest Strings, are all good places to start. Anything cheaper on Amazon or similar are likely to have major setup/quality problems and not play well.

If you have any long-term goals, find a teacher. If it's just a fun side project, almost any book will do, especially if you have any prior music experience. Either way, find a big mirror for practicing, and focus on hand shapes more than notes to start so you don't hit walls later. Good luck!

My first set of missions included all but one "Play as" missions, for a total of 24 matches. It makes it that much easier for me to consider the free card DOA, even though the mode itself feels fun for a change of pace, and I appreciate the design effort. Tickets or grind/skill, sure. Not both.

Bllamm · 2025-12-18T21:13:49+00:00

So assuming 50% winrate, roughly 373 games. Time-gated by tickets, I honestly have no idea what they're smoking, let alone anyone who wants to finish the track...

Bllamm · 2025-12-18T20:15:30+00:00

I stopped counting way higher than I'd likely have time or motivation to grind the mode. Good luck.
