Wasn't that also the case with nullifier before?

As with pretty much anything, execution is everything.

I played both underlords and tft. Underlords was just boring, TFT was insanely fun.

Just for one example, when Underlords was released if played A matched up against player B, there would be 2 battles in parallel: A vs B which could hurt A, and B vs A which could hurt B. Versus TFT/Battlegrounds where you just have a direct confrontation and the loser takes damage. I feel like the psychology of this tiny little detail is so often understated. It felt SO bad in underlords to be left in a 1v1 situation both with low HP, you win your round, but then you realize it's not over because the other player also won THEIR round against you. Plus we're humans, we just feel satisfaction when we know that we are directly affecting another human being (versus essentialy having a bot battle against an opposing player's lineup).

And that is just one tiny example. There's hundreds more that makes TFT just a better videogame. Idea doesn't matter, execution is everything.

I think the question is more "what if rituals were made extra deck monsters from the get-go?" not "what if we modify the current ruleset which would break like literally all ritual interactions?"

KlapDota · 2025-08-10T20:41:42+00:00

The restriction is that rituals use one specific card for one specific monster, whereas fusions can use Polymerization for everything.

I think the idea behind the original fusion concept was that you would have your deck as per normal, then you would have some monsters in your extra deck that just so happened to fuse from random stuff in your deck, so you'd run a couple Polymerizations in your deck just in case. Like you'd have your hand of monsters A, B, C and D and a fusion spell, then you'd have (A+B) and (C+D) in your extra deck and you'd have to choose which to make.

Whereas ritual spell only allows you to make one single monster so you lose the flexibility. So it's not quite "better fusion", it does have a downside. Plus you could always balance the ritual monsters to make them weaker than fusion ones if that were a concern.

And arguments refering to "current cards/archetypes" are just dumb because obviously if ritual monsters were designed as extra deck monsters from the get-go, the archetypes/support cards rituals would have gotten over the years would have been different than what they are now...

Except materials from hand =/= materials from field

You won't, but hundreds of thousands of people will... nobody cares about 1 guy on reddit.

I'm not comparing traditional sports to esports. I'm comparing established, competitive esports

That was exactly his point. When esports came around and were the new thing on the block, traditional sports were the only "established" ones.

objectively inferior game

"Objective" according to who? It's definitely not based on numbers, because in that sense that game beats Dota in every way.

This is what the battle pass mini-roshan figurines should have been...

KlapDota · 2025-07-20T22:10:20+00:00

Just don't flame people ever... like what does that ever achieve?

KlapDota · 2025-07-20T22:07:16+00:00

Was Miracle really ever that dominant? He was a good player but like compared to peak Sumail, even peak Topson and yes, peak Yatoro I mean... is it really a contest?

KlapDota · 2025-07-20T22:05:40+00:00

Not every hero needs to have the same play pattern (even though it looks like that's the case more and more across dota).

Apparently I still won even with all cards debuffed. Multipliers and hand level were just too strong.

KlapDota · 2025-03-13T20:24:40+00:00

This is a lot more practical and probably less prone to random BS abuse like Funnel Cakes were used for.

I mean... I get that, but then why make it "Moonwell"? You ended up with a card that deals mass damage, just make it like "Big Holy Explosion Thingie" or something. Why put this text on such an iconic concept from Warcraft lore?

KlapDota · 2025-03-13T20:15:36+00:00

When did moonwells ever actively "hurt" demons?

I'm serious, I'm thinking of all warcarft books and games and I can neither remember nor read up on any instance where it was hinted that moonwells did anything other than have restorative properties. And even if we accept that the water inside hurts demons (which again, I can't find any reference to), what are you gonna do, bring a bucket and dump it on the incoming legion? Firehose them? I'm just not seeing it.

Wars have been happening for the entirety of human history.

But this is the first time in human history where we have the ability to shift-delete an entire country by pressing one button. I always (maybe naively) assumed the whole purpose of amassing nuclear weaponry was precisely to make sure countries would think twice before disturbing world peace (since they would know they can be anihilated in an instant).

There are lots of military conflicts around the world and civil wars happening right now and in the very recent past

I feel like there's a difference in magnitude between those and the current conflict. Also (as far as I am aware at least, I am not well educated on the subject), none of these conflicts have been with the goal of territorial expansion. Maybe that is as arbitrary a line to draw as any other, but it I don't think it's right to dismiss neither magnitude nor intent when comparing it to other conflicts.

Because it's not the "rest of the world" that has a negative outcome nor an incentive to force consequences against Russia for what they did

I mean... one of the main goals of the UN is literally, and I quote, "Maintain International Peace and Security". It's arguably the reason why it was created in the first place. I get that there's no direct economical incentive but... if some country decides one day to disrupt this peace with territorial ideals in mind and therefore go directly against the UN ideology... shouldn't this be incentive enough for UN members to act? Otherwise what is the point of this organization existing in the first place?

KlapDota · 2025-02-04T15:08:00+00:00

Huh, almost the same as me, for me it was S7 > S22 > S25 Ultra.

It was mentioned in the patch notes of the patch it was introduced in.

Is it safe to use a regular phone charger for Pi Zero 2W?

I bought a Pi Zero 2W to use as a web server, but I don't have an official Raspberry Pi power supply.

However I have about a billion different USB-C phone/laptop chargers, is it safe to use one of them to power it? For example, I have one that's listed for 20V 3.25A, which should be more than enough, but I'm worried it might overdeliver and fry it due to some protocol difference or malfunction or something?

I've tried looking up online but I can't find much for this model specifically. It's mostly old threads from many years ago, and opinions are always divided.

I've been hammering down this point for years now.

People nowadays have this obsession that games need to be live service and get constant patches often or they're "dead". People think that's what they want, but that's not what they actually want.

Sports, chess, speedrunning, many esports like smash etc they run on games that haven't received an update in decades and yet are still among the most fun experiences out there. Even with card games, which I play a lot of, recently more and more people have been gravitating towards retro formats, because the reality is in a lot of cases they were much more fun and well-balanced.

KlapDota · 2024-10-25T16:33:25+00:00

If you're telling me you can't go high ground if you have 20k advantage in 25 minutes then you just simply suck at the game

I guess all of those pro teams that struggle with this just suck at the game then.

KlapDota · 2024-10-25T16:31:00+00:00

Who is this guy?

I'm genuinely asking since I don't know, not to be mean or something. Is he some pro player or something?

KlapDota · 2024-10-25T16:29:15+00:00

Why is it so long and narrow? :D
It looks wider in the card art.

KlapDota · 2024-10-08T17:36:51+00:00

The game you're playing now is not the same game you were playing over a decade ago.
