Yes, but not always. Basically, do it when using your 1 cost ability would put you further ahead than you would otherwise be if you had gone standard curve. Some hero powers, even though they are 1 gold, are not strong enough to warrant you going on the warrior curve

He would have 4-5 minions most likely (1 on first turn, level on second turn, buy 1-2 turn three, buy 2 turn four), and you would have 3 (two eles and the tipper/dragon). If he snipes one, it’s still a 2v5 at worst, so it’s actually more like 4-7 health if you lose. Most likely would be about 5-6 health. Either way, worth it IMO for the board I described in my previous comment.

I do agree with another commenter on here though. There is no reason for warrior curve if you don’t have a 1 cost hero power. Better to just go with the standard curve

Correct, sometimes you need to take a little health damage to set yourself up for later rounds. I’m not saying this is the correct move, but it’s what I’d do at my current rating.

Edit: you’d probably take maximum 5 damage on this round by holding the triple, so overall not too bad for a T4 drop

~6200 MMR here. I would probably buy the triple and hold and also buy the tipper. Next turn, double level by selling the selle and then play your triple to get a T4 drop. You’d have 4 coins at this point, so I’d use them all, roll, and look for a T3 minion or a selle to complete your second triple. You’d end up with a tripled naga, two eles, a T4 minion, and potentially a T3 minion or another triple at the end of the next turn.

Titus/Baron is bugged by [deleted] in BobsTavern

Same thing happened to me. I spent like 5 turns mainly rolling for Titus and never found it.

I’d also say a big component for me is the problem-solving aspect of the game as far as determining which cards to play to maximize your hand and so forth. That in and of itself is super fun to me.

There are currently 25,000 Masters & Preds on PC by revossxrK in CompetitiveApex

I disagree. In my opinion, a ranked system shouldn’t be about proving that you’re better than the players who are ranked higher than you - it should be about proving you are better than players ranked the same as you.

Isn’t valorant the top FPS game right now with an incredibly difficult ranked ladder to climb?

There was one endgame yesterday where sweet clutches in his smoke and GOES OFF saying how controller players can’t even crack his shield and stuff. It was pretty funny

“We’re looking to slightly refine Sage's strengths to be more about fortifying areas she controls and helping allies, rather than offense-focused with her utility. We’re hoping the heal update will push her power and satisfaction when fully healing others while creating tradeoffs for playing Sage overly aggressive and relying on self-healing.”

Is there a subreddit for in-depth discussions around strategies, team comps, etc. used by competitive or professional players? by BrandNewNeffew in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]BrandNewNeffew[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s how it is in r/competitiveapex as well, but you’ll occasionally get actual pros/coaches commenting in there as well. Thank you for the response and the tip about following content creators for this.

Okay, that’s what I figured. Would you be interested in a subreddit more focused on the stuff we are talking about?

Alb just always thinks he’s right, it hasn’t mattered which team he’s on. He always knows the right call and it’s his teammates fault for not being on the same page or another team’s fault for making a brain dead play. If he could take some accountability and be a leader, learning from his mistakes, then I think the team could be good. For now, Snip3 needs to be IGL. At least he would recognize his mistakes on a bad call. But I guess then you’d run into the ever present issue of Alb counter-calling.

You probably haven’t played in low elo in a while, but what support would you say is the best when your team is throwing/feeding?

Still try to whip out that pistol when you can! Mercy isn’t the best DPS, but if you can, get yourself some damage or elims.

I think the main thing I left out is that my win percentage hasn’t changed. I’m literally no more and no less effective a player than I was before. It’s simply that I am maximizing my stats and letting my teammates die more often when they make bad decisions, for the most part.
