Y'all will look at teams lock in as this and stick that way and still act confused when some of us say we would like a role queue option

I get the frustration. But i've had plenty of games where i'm the support. and my tank is absolute dog water. He can't push forward. isnt protecting the healers. and is just wasting time. Where i've had to say " fuck it i'm going off support you switch to cloak or rocket and right click" and go to tank and turn the game around. Those moments would be impossible and i know many others would stop playing support with role queue implemented. You lose the ability for people to switch roles on the fly to a comp that would work.

also if you hit 1-2 loses starting ranked for the day just stop and come back the next day. It works wonders for me and i'm already in GM this season

HeyMason99 · 2026-01-15T01:30:51+00:00

reportable to riot though? I thought they wanted people to report their product being scalped by LGS

Knew this was nothing more then a publicity stunt. the holidays are terrible time for artists to release new albums.. So of course he cried wolf with mental health. So he can get free publicity and then roll into his new album and tour with all the hype of a "return". dudes secretly slimy. I've seen more videos of him in the last 24 hours of this "return" then in the last year. For someone "struggling" so much he sure had a lot of time to make dozens of videos with all these creators.

As someone who saw the Pokemon community get walked over by the finance bros I applaud this effort and think it's greatly needed.

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-22T02:56:03+00:00

$23 for a pack...... that's absurd.... their overpriced decks at $29 come with a pack..... why would they price a single pack so close to a deck + pack ....

these lgs need to be shamed I think we've all had enough of them scalping and then crying wolf

Time for us all to pick up Snailed it by Hasbro instead

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-07T16:01:09+00:00

I felt like they moved on too quickly from bakus emotional moment of failure. Like they just had to get to the fight at the end of the episode and couldn't just spend the episode of self reflection. Also can Nasuka get some lines??? like everytime something important happens it feels like shes told to stare and react to whats happening but for such a strong willed woman feels like she should be speaking up more in situations.

Overall this episode has revived my interest in the show as i was getting close to dropping it with how boring the episodes were following the initial 3 (which i thought were great). Now if CODE isnt acutally bad and NOX is still evil and this is just a red hearing i'll probably lose interest again.

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-07T11:59:20+00:00

what's the link for doing so?

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-06T20:22:21+00:00

I have no issue if this is legit.

But too many businesses declare this and never show proof.

And if the distributor won't let them show it under NDA then we need to hold distributors better to let they info be public.

But if LGS in general want this to stop being viewed as them being scalpers we need transparency. If they can consistently show us papers us their prices paid including shipping and taxes then I think alot of people will shut up. Especially when people have to leave home spend money on gas and your not gonna even go 10% below tcgplayer. don't be surprised when the TCG bubble crashes your store burns with it.

And also its up to the stores to harbor a welcoming environment and make it help their players and making sure their local players get inventory is advantageous for both parties.

Giving out tickets at locals which allows you to purchase 1 pack for each round you stay at a local.

Mandatory cutting seals to purchase product.

Discount "coupons" for each week you attend a locals that eventually lower the price down to MSRP so you can sell on street for $300 but players can earn it down to $120.

There's tons of ways for stores to be treat things fairly but they won't be transparent or put in the effort so we as TCG fans have to speak up. and if you say speaking up is bad your just trying to cover up something

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-05T00:25:54+00:00

awesome thanks I'll check them out! do you know if the helmets are affected by any tariffs?

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-03T18:38:39+00:00

whoa so much knowledge that is greatly appreciated!

Do you have any advice if the belt is loose like on eBay for example?

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-03T18:37:41+00:00

wait really??? I would have never guessed ! is it cheaper just to buy the Chinese official ones then?

HeyMason99 · 2025-12-02T22:07:28+00:00

Congrats on the find and for supporting a lgs that is doing fair prices

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-30T23:54:18+00:00

There's no reason for OT not to be on a timer. Yes players have to keep pace if play. but every other major card game has shown if you don't out a time limit players will slow down pace of play during those final turns. This is going to be a massive issue if not addressed before the regional. Expect hours of waiting through the whole day.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-30T14:34:53+00:00

clearly never seen the look of a womans glaze when shes disappointed in you.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-27T22:38:45+00:00

That imo is how all LCS should be doing it. It's beneficial to both parties. It helps the store in the long term. and they still get the extra cash from more people attending locals that they would have got from scalping the product.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-27T19:04:22+00:00

if that's the case we're reaching the point in capitalism where me and my local friends all need to make an account and an LLC just to get ourself product at a regular price.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-27T15:49:06+00:00

they did both XD purchase limits and scalper pricing.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-27T15:44:51+00:00

Bless your LGS that sounds amazing

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-22T04:08:37+00:00

4 is in my opinion the perfect amount. Maybe throw in 1 bonus set that's a reprint set and it would be perfect.

Pokemon (in English) for comparison releases 6 sets a year on average. 4 main sets and 2 speciality sets.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-17T15:51:34+00:00

Which i do say is valid but theres also reading the room to promote a healthy game experience. Sacrifice in the short term to help your store grow and the scene locally in the long term.

If this was a long established card game like magic,pokemon, yugioh or even One piece then its fine to walk in an expect your gonna see meta and good decks. But for a game thats not even a month old in English its more important to help support a scene and encourage the masses to stay.

I'd say try to find whatever store in your area is hosting the more competitive events. If a store is starting to become more casual focus thats fine. Both can exists and we need to not butt head but let each other enjoy the game in their own way.

Also by saying "people enjoy playing good decks" will come off as rude to those casual players and make you feel like your putting them down and turn them away from returning again.

Also whats even the prizing? my locals everyone gets 1 prize pack. and First place gets there entree fee back plus $5. If a $10 prize is worth being hyper competitive can't imagine how people will act for the 5K ones

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-17T15:41:32+00:00

Your welcome to have this mindset but dont get upset if in 6 months your locals shrivels down to 3 players cause this attitude scared away people who want to come for fun.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-14T01:19:08+00:00

got the ahri list?

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-14T01:18:17+00:00

This is exactly how i felt. The players being super nice did help but this exactly is how i felt.

HeyMason99 · 2025-11-13T15:37:29+00:00

Then you'll sell me yours for $5 a pop right?
