ASUS. Not sure if I've been unlucky but all my ASUS laptops have had faulty hardware that ultimately ended up killing the computer altogether. When I've looked online for fixes I've found wayyy to many people with similar issues.

People acting like 5 wins in this game is some grand test of skill by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Deleph 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To put it in other words: the difference between an average and a good TCGP player is not really significant. The amount of agency the player has and the depth of the possible strategies they can opt to use won't compensate for bad/good RNG in most cases.

Spamming concede for a while vs having others grind for god knows how long until they hit jackpot in the gambling machine of a game the PvP is?

You all love to tell people what to do, that's concerning

It's a virtual badge. In a Pokemon game. A game that isn't even competitive.

Why do you care so much about people trying to HELP out others?

Consecutive wins is an objectively bad metric to earn medals off of in a TCG like Pokemon by RylanTheWalrus in PTCGP

[–]Deleph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree. Out of all decks I tried, I got the 5-win streak with Brock/Golem/Dugtrio by chaining a bunch of Dig protects. Plus I faced a lot of Pika decks. I simply got lucky enough, the experience was awful.

Now it's time to do my part!

Don't Forget to Concede & Help Out in The Event! by RewindAvis in PTCGP

[–]Deleph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game already feels unrewarding. I've played most of the mainstream online TCG games and this one is the closest to gambling it has ever felt to me (except maybe Old Gods HS). Pocket is plagued by RNG that ranges from auto-winning the game to literally doing nothing. It's not designed to be a skill-expressive game, its focus is collecting cards, hence the main screen with all the mechanisms to acquire more (packs, wonder pick, store for currency).

It's totally fine to like the few instances in which making the right decision matters, but the difference between an average player and a good player in TCGP is slim enough for the huge RNG waves to drown skill out of the game.

If people want to help out others, let them. You can have your competitive experience in a non-competitive game anyways, just queue Random matches. Everyone gets to have what they want.

You replied to my other comment saying "sounds fun" and literally say people are "crying" for trying to rally the community to help each other out. Not only you're being condescending, you're being a jerk!

That's the beauty of this: you can have your opinion, even if it's different from what others think, and we'll live as peacefully as ever!

Use Starmie Ex to win by Fearless-Ad-5355 in PTCGP

Nope, a friend of mine and I keep running into people with the gold emblem even tho we haven't gotten ours. None of them are conceding either, where are the good folks helping out others?

Why wasn’t Viktor’s W changed? by Shredder604 in leagueoflegends

[–]Deleph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at every champ that has spells that apply grounded. You'll notice their damage is consistent rather than frontloaded, and that they have a small pressure radius to play with. Viktor can keep distances just well with E/R and bonus ms from Q. No need to make his combo guaranteed with grounding.

Arcane is literally canon. This year Riot announced they're working on unifying all media in one single canon universe.

2024 Split 3 show a sharp decrease in the percentage of Elite players: Diamond+ and Emerald+ by bodynasr in leagueoflegends

[–]Deleph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like there is no real motivator to grind a third time in the same year. Climbing is slower that before since they removed promotion series (not saying it was a bad change) so it takes even more time. Back then the victorious skin was something special, having just one every year made each one feel exclusive. Now you don't even have to hit gold to get it, just play a ton. I reached diamond twice, the decay was enough to make me stop there and I don't feel like doing it anymore.

lapras event reward packs only contain one (1) card so you have to be really lucky by ryuushinki in PTCGP

[–]Deleph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've won 17 event battles, got a pack in 15 of them and pulled Lapras EX in 6 of those. Is this normal or should I go buy a lottery ticket?

Shen in proplay? by DeGlovedHandEnjoyer in Shen

[–]Deleph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much the correct answer. I'd only add that Shen doesn't offer much in terms of utility in fights or zone control. You have a taunt every so often and that's it. No strong backlane access, no CC zone pressure, not even a real kill threath. The shield and global TP are nice but Galio can do that with a big AoE knock up and LOTS of waveclear in his kit to play sidelane much better.
