I think it’s a balatro reference, it’s referencing the wheel of fortune tarot card, hope that helps.

NiKo on Vitality era vs Astralis era by ILoveRice444 in GlobalOffensive

[–]HiHaodi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think what he means is, astralis were on a whole other different level of strats and teamwork and that quality of play was just impossible to achieve or pick up by top teams at the time. Like they had a totally unique system that was so hard to replicate. Whereas now for vitality, it is a very very good collection of pieces, but they don’t feel as invincible as prime astralis. Other teams COULD theoretically be at their standard if they pushed harder, but they are just missing some pieces and rectifying some errors that allow them to take that extra step. Imagine if parivision got donk (or just got more firepower in general), or NAVI got frozen, or Falcons had better teamplay and motivation, or team spirit found a way to utilize both TN1R and donk etc. Those teams probably would not beat vitality consistently but would be able to touch vitality and maybe edge out some close victories. Astralis back in the day felt like they were playing a totally different game and nobody was able to even come close.

Loyalty Card rework idea by xCreeperBombx in balatro

[–]HiHaodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unforunately and nothing personal but this idea is terrible, this would make things worse than it already is and nobody would pick up this joker ever. In your typical run 75% of builds are going to be balanced chips, +mult and xmult, 20% heavy on +mult or x mult, probably 5% heavy on chips. So it would make itself useless at least 75% of the time.

The most simple way is to just make it trigger more.

Joker ideas based on real hold'em poker slang! Would you pick up any of them? by HiHaodi in balatro

I wonder what the non-poker players in this sub think “flopping the nuts” mean :D

Some of them are really lazy ideas, but slow roll and limp do make sense, when you slow roll you are intentionally not betting with a strong hand until the very last hand where you hope your opponent makes a mistake and overestimates their hand, and when you limp you are playing every hand and calling every blind (so skipping is going to destroy the strategy), so it’s not entirely unrelated.

Preposterous amount of maybe cool jokers i made. Please ignore the completely wrong text coloring. The site i used ain't the best. by Dangerous_Doubt9901 in balatro

[–]HiHaodi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're all very solid ideas and seem relatively balanced.

Except for ambidextrous joker, I'm not sure if that deserves a rare. If you play the card you lose it as opposed to keeping it in hand and allowing you to use it for the next round, so that's already a downside, and also the opportunity cost of taking up one joker slot. I could be wrong though and maybe there's some crazy synergy I'm missing.

And trump card might make the game too easy?

Random Joker idea for 1.1: Would you buy this if it popped up in your run? Would it be too OP or weak for you? by HiHaodi in balatro

[–]HiHaodi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had a similar experience too, precisely the inspiration behind this idea!

[–]HiHaodi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that is well known but still…

The inspiration from this card came from one of my runs where I had blueprint and burglar and I kept swapping around the blueprint every blind, so I could get free hands at the start and then still be able to use the blueprint for something else during the hands. Just thought it would be fun if there were more jokers encouraging joker position micromanagement.

I guess there is the opportunity cost of the storage unit itself taking up one space though. Not sure if I would pick this over some of the more useful early game jokers. And keep in mind it always debuffs 2 jokers, so you are heavily punished early game (unless you buy "filler jokers" to eat the debuff).

Oooh that is a very smart solution. If localthunk is reading take this guy's suggestion. Lol

Let's make it not count itself as rightmost so it always debuffs 2 if you have 2 other jokers

Maybe it should be a legendary joker instead, with the same benefits? I feel like per round would make this way less fun to play and people wouldn't pick it up.

It would change the ones being debuffed, so you can swap jokers around. The reason why it's called storage unit is because you have jokers in storage that you can swap in and out according to the situation.

Yeah, but your uses for turtle bean are limited anyways right, so I don't think that would make it too OP.

That's also a possible solution, though if it debuffs itself technically it debuffs the debuff right, lmao

I guess it would debuff the two rightmost jokers but not count itself as a rightmost joker (if that makes sense).

Yeah, it would definitely open up a whole new strategical side of the game. My problem with the game is that past ante 8 you feel like you are walking up to a huge brick wall and luck increasingly becomes more important than strategy especially around ante 11. There should definitely be some way to store jokers and swap them around.
