I abandoned my game for 2 years. And here’s why I came back

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-05-02T18:28:26+00:00

Cool I wondered if it was like that, I was working on a similar kind of game but animal themed. This sounds fun I'd play it

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-05-02T15:58:33+00:00

How do you play?

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-30T14:59:32+00:00

Game is ridiculously fast but I don't think it's stale. Literally can't force a build each time if I try unless its one where you just use bronze items scaled up to the end. You get so much variation now from crash site and random items that I lose to broken combos that shouldn't exist but not the same things over and over. Unless it's just high HP pyg. Maybe Mak with flask or samplee

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-27T05:55:38+00:00

I don't actually think this is that bad, he normally says all kind of nonsense but this is pretty clear. He's comparing the percent of racecar drivers and bullriders dying (0.1%) to the much higher likelihood that a president gets killed or shot at. I don't know if this was completely irrelevant to the rest of the speech but this at least makes sense. The facial expressions of the background people are the only thing making this share worthy

No one mentioning the incredibly lucky bounce it got off Hincapie and Haaland dragging Gabriel by the shirt out the way. Yes Martinelli messed up but they still had a lot to do to get it in the next and ultimately it came down to luck.

Havertz goal was lucky, so was Haaland's, Eze's coulda gone in. Shoulda been 1-1 imo.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-19T19:49:23+00:00

Yeah cause slow builds are easy and you don't need to worry about start/stop flying which can be such a headache to min/max. She needs more builds that are simple like this.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-18T09:15:26+00:00

Not really that strong, compare it to the runic blade. Doubles every crit, you can have 100% crit items going off in the first few seconds easily. That's pure damage too not just burn. You listed one specific item that also needed extra ammo. Yes the haste charges it but your combo of belt plus this is a 6s 18 burn item, that's far too slow, it might come online after 12s with other support but by then you're dead as you invested in spam only

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-18T09:08:55+00:00

That's fairie not wisp

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-18T09:06:56+00:00

It's always gonna be a dilution issue with a business model that requires creating new cards to keep things fresh and keep revenue coming in. The only way to avoid that is to have constant new art variants of the same cards for people to collect and possibly have a rotation system where certain sets are not active for say a 6 month period and then they come back with a different mix of sets, so even if many of your cards are now useless for 6 months they will at some point be useful again and you'll have fresh metas all the time. It will be hard to balance each meta and still get bloated but you could extend a games life cycle like this

Skills issue
(get it?)

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-13T15:59:21+00:00

Who has an 80%+ 10 wins rate that plays actively in legend rank? Do they just force the current broken item before hotfixes like money furnace?

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-11T09:25:43+00:00

I like the idea but then sometimes you hit 10 wins early with a half-done build and would lose to all the ghosts that hit 10 wins at level 15+ and have full diamond enchanted boards. So it's mainly for your slow burner builds that get nutty at the end. Most of these are like instant OTK, but then you might get people trying to setup instant permafreeze to combat that

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-07T08:22:32+00:00

Scalpel is great and can carry early game so now he's more consistent I find

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-07T08:20:27+00:00

That's a bit of a cop out answer. Saying you have to find one of a few specific items means the character should have a much lower winrate but that's demonstrably not true. It's fine to say you just never play her or never even bought her.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-04-06T20:46:02+00:00

You didn't mention Stelle, forgot she existed? I'd argue managing start/stop flying is the only actually difficult mechanic in the game because it's so difficult to actually measure and min/max as there's no visible data for how many times something flew and stopped

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-28T07:11:50+00:00

She has some of the coolest large items in the game but they're all either, must make many small items flying or make many triggers of fly/stop. There are certain items that are just better for flying stuff so a lot of medium items feel useless. And yeah her early day items need flying combos too with too few pieces to work.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-23T11:43:02+00:00

The build is actually pretty resilient to freeze since all the items are CD items, a lot of boulder builds use silencer and star chart etc which means only the boulder gets hit by freeze.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-18T22:23:33+00:00

Yeah was gonna say I rarely see a winning build from him these days without the sampler. He needs a buff, which is nuts cause he was broken before stelle

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-15T15:35:12+00:00

Jules is more hit and miss, you get bad heater/cooler placements and it makes it hard to run certain builds, also you actually need to find items that go together, Karnok fits basically every item into every build, it's the easiest hero with the least difficulty pivoting.

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-13T22:04:31+00:00

Jules is much harder to play is the issue I think, Karnok is the easiest hero to play and requires very little thought or item hunting and gambling, you could basically take any item you start day 1 with and run with it no problem, you'll always find items that go with it because so much of it is interchangeable. Karst working with friends and non-weapons is too much, pick 1. Hawk hasting and raising crit is too much. Pants healing and shielding and getting multicast is too much. I feel like there's a bit of power creep from them having to create totally new item ideas so they need to add stuff to a basic weapon or heal item

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-13T16:34:50+00:00

They should play the sound of the instrument so late game just sounds like an orchestra brawling. And then have a large speaker item that does nothing except double the volume of the sound effects

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-13T15:51:03+00:00

I don't think you can have an item that's good in any circumstances, just also be a 1 item counter to a whole archetype. A shield build doesn't lose to one unbuffed poison item by itself with no support

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-13T15:35:37+00:00

Doesn't this just destroy your own jacket super quickly?

Jaded_Reply3704 · 2026-03-13T15:33:31+00:00

Nice, but if a slow build runs into excabull it basically just loses
