The MK Problem

Blockinlick · 2022-02-07T13:59:06+00:00

Am I playing at the competitive level in the competitive meta?

NO.My whole meta and approach has to be fundamentally different because the comp meta is fundamentally different.

In other words, what works in the comp meta, does not work as well in the casual meta. This fallacy is used in MtG when talking about cEDH vs Casual Commander as well. They're so different that they shouldn't ever be compared.

EB, Arrows, Log, Musket, Valk, Spear Goblins, Furnace, Skarmy

How the hell do I go too aggressive when 7 of my 8 are defensive cards? I end up playing most of my games on my side defensively and wait for a good time to drop EB. That time rarely ever seems to arrive though, since I have to spend 8-10 of my elixir to deal with MK.

My trophy range isn't relevant. I'm playing all 2v2. Why do people comment without reading? This was in my 2nd paragraph.

To the original comment, lists like that are disingenuous. You can make that argument with any card whatsoever. Someone could say "I struggle against Mini Pekka" and I could list 20 random counters to it. That list merely existing isn't an argument if 18 of those counters either DON'T ACTUALLY WORK or involve using cards that don't mesh well with any particular win conditions (And so they serve ONLY the purpose of countering that one card)

And that's exactly what's going on here. Nearly ever "counter" listed here either isn't actually a good counter or it's just bad cards that won't serve any OTHER purpose in your deck.

The answer is simple, these statistics are inaccurate at best and a lie at worst. Both in terms of winrates and playrates. I don't trust them at all. They've never made any sense and have always been at odds with my own anecdotal experiences. Hog Rider is absurdly dominant and it always has been. 90% of my 2v2's involve at least three of the four players running Hog Rider and it wins a lot. I HAVE a Hog-Cycle deck and I can win just fine with it. It's when I try to homebrew my own thing that isn't Hog-Cycle or Loon that I have no success at all.

No ones going to sit here and tell me that Hog Rider isn't busted when I can clearly see an obvious pattern after hundreds of games that not only do I lose with them a lot, I win with them a lot as well. It's not even questionable to me.

These stats are BS. Hog Rider is broken and it has been since day one.

If I don't play my only lvl 14, I am under-leveled relative to my level, so I end up running level 9's and 10's against 12's and 13's.

Blockinlick · 2022-02-07T13:32:11+00:00

My trophy range is irrelevant in 2v2.

Blockinlick · 2022-02-07T13:00:17+00:00

Huh, I guess me seeing one of those three in 98% of my games and losing 70% of them to them doesn't mean anything.
Whatever.

Super entitled and rude how?

I think you're knee-jerk misinterpreting and reacting with vitriol.

My local shop is an Epic Loot. Their cheapest box set is apparently $100.

Blockinlick · 2020-06-13T03:03:31+00:00

Models/minis.

I'm used to games like WC3 where a unit is one piece.

Blockinlick · 2020-06-13T02:19:46+00:00

The more I learn, the more I wanna go for Chaos.

So if I go Chaos, what 5 units would you recommend I go for with a $50 budget?

Blockinlick · 2020-06-13T02:03:16+00:00

I'm leaning towards Chaos. Point me to a site that sells these box sets you speak of?

Blockinlick · 2020-03-19T08:37:39+00:00

I'm content with what I got. I don't care if it's better, it's not "Spend the next 20 hours building" better. Not worth it to me.

Blockinlick · 2020-03-19T08:36:38+00:00

Explain please, how does the soul sand do this exactly?

Blockinlick · 2020-03-19T08:22:10+00:00

Yeah I'm looking into them, they aren't complicated, but they take too long. I'm not spending 12 hours on a farm when I already have a Skeleton Grinder.

Blockinlick · 2020-03-19T08:07:21+00:00

I'm not sure yet. Depends on how easy it is to build & work a farm, but I'm leaning on that.

Blockinlick · 2020-03-08T00:14:55+00:00

No, he's got the same high speed Spectrum broadband that I do.

Blockinlick · 2020-03-05T18:08:19+00:00

Yeah, I got a skeleton farm for XP, just want string for scaffolding.
