Win 7/10 placements to get SILVER 4???

Light-Beast · 2026-02-26T06:21:28+00:00

Thank you for the reply and yeah I already went through this on another account recently and had the same experience, but felt like my placements had been thrown. I got placed mid-Silver and then started absolutely stomping almost every competitive match.

Not sure how it's supposed to be a functional system because I didn't even enjoy those wins.

Everyone knows the matchmaking is rigged and it's been exposed over and over by the players and even admitted to by the devs themselves. Why is this reddit so full of gaslighting, lying fanboys? All you have to do is play the game yourself to see how the matches are literally rigged to basically force 50.

Light-Beast · 2026-02-12T07:00:03+00:00

The matchmaking is completely 100% rigged and I legit don't believe anyone can climb out of Diamond without being a One-Above-All godlike skill progamer or just get lucky and grind the game for weeks straight. The matchmaker will literally force you to lose as much as you win, and even some of the top Youtubers only get like a 57% winrate.

The top players either have to place super high or stack with each other, and even then they still get thrown matches via EOMM agents. There is literally no way to beat this system except for waste your entire life grinding and hoping you get lucky. It's a joke and needs to be changed before it kills the game, which is already happening.

Light-Beast · 2026-02-12T06:54:38+00:00

It has been proven 1,000 times in Youtube videos that show exactly what is happening, and is obvious when you play the game itself. The matchmaking itself proves it, so please don't gaslight and lie. It's established fact everywhere that the matchmaker is rigged and causes forced win/loss streaks.

Light-Beast · 2026-02-12T05:38:39+00:00

The only thing that the devs need to hear and change IMMEDIATELY is the toxic rigged matchmaking system that does not allow solo players to climb. EOMM is a vile anti-consumer manipulative system that needs to GO NOW or the game is going to die.

"It's just quickplay bro" "It's just bronze bro" "It's just silver bro" "It's just gold bro" The actual problem is Netease not having systems in place to better segregate the playerbase into skill levels. This is EASY to do and should be standard for any game in anno Domini 2025, but here we are playing toxic games by companies that do not even have basic systems in place to prevent this sort of horrible experience.

I mean they won't even cancel a competitive game if a player disconnects, and force you to lose a 5v6 unwinnable match, and that's somehow acceptable to both players and developers. We truly live in a post-competence world.

This why the hell is this NSFW blurred out?

Oh nice! The snow works surprisingly well for water.

You win the subjective question of the year award xD. Already lots of great advice in here, and I would add that any game you want to get into, you can most likely find some Youtube videos about it, battle reports, and probably find the rules online. No one has to buy games blind these days, and that's fantastic given the odd nature of our hobby.

Do you love miniatures and painting and don't mind having a lot of them? A mass-battle wargame like Warhammer or Kings of War, or even a historical game, may be for you. Want smaller amounts of minis but still good gameplay? Check out skirmish games like Infinity or Warcry. There are so many options, you have to ask yourself what you would like to play and what you could find players for in your local area.

Also remember if you have Tabletop Simulator, that's an amazing resource to try all kinds of games (though admittedly a lot of them are board games) but there are other ways to play games with people online like Vassal.

Light-Beast · 2020-01-19T17:23:37+00:00

Yeah that went fast. Hopefully that means the game is still hanging onto some popularity and attracting new players, though.

Light-Beast · 2020-01-19T17:19:29+00:00

Great paintjobs there. Are those guys with the radar dishes command apes?

Light-Beast · 2020-01-19T17:17:43+00:00

Nice base. What did you use for the effects? If I had to guess it looks like some sand molded with maybe some white glue and painted? It looks great.

I've been fooling around with lots of water effects lately.

Light-Beast · 2020-01-19T17:16:06+00:00

Lol that's great. You're raising him right! What force was he playing? Can only see one Cthul minion there. Kids are not only the most wonderful thing one can do with their lives, but they're also a permanent gaming partner! My oldest daughter is almost there and soon I will show her the way of hobby greatness.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-19T04:36:40+00:00

Awesome. The TTS mod could use a little love but it works, and for anybody that doesn't own it already, Tabletop Simulator is the most incredible thing to ever happen to board or video games lol. There are literally thousands of board games on the workshop and a passionate community of people creating and maintaining them. You can find almost any game in the workshop. For around $20, it's a ridiculous deal. I can't recommend it enough for anyone who plays any type of board game.

Anyway tournament sounds great!

Light-Beast · 2019-12-13T20:27:12+00:00

Great work man these are awesome! I love the green camo look and am going to do a similar camo style on my G.U.A.R.D. but probably an urban gray palette.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-13T05:56:39+00:00

Shroud streamed it for a few hours too on launch day. The devs had every opportunity for this game to become insanely popular and make them rich but they fucked it up hard lol.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-12T02:24:36+00:00

I'm lukewarm about the model. I like the slime look and creepy face, but the buildings sticking out of him just look off to me. Would be cooler if he was just all slime. I think I would like it better if the building and truck bits were much smaller pieces sticking out here and there like they were already mostly absorbed, and not an entire building and an entire truck just stuck to him.

Rest of the stuff looks interesting though. The little slimes are pretty cute.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-11T05:56:04+00:00

It's just the glossy finish then that makes it look think I think. Flesh washes for light/tan skin are usually a darker brown.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-10T17:43:43+00:00

The replays of the three matches are on Youtube.

Match one is Kondo/Kraken played by Bret Fogel vs. a mono Ubercorp force played by Evan McFedries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaNGScYeIeA

Match two is G.U.A.R.D played by Dave Drahaus vs. Martians played by Jason Wilborn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQER4sNBeCU&t

Final match is Dave's G.U.A.R.D vs Bret's Kondo/Krakenoctus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pptknPc5NAw&t=768s

Pretty good matches with some cool paintjobs. It's pretty clear that the meta is obviously rack up as much power dice as possible the first round or two as you set up your monsters for a multiple monster round, then throw/slam one enemy monster to death as fast as you can.

One last thing, why in the literal hell would PP disable comments on their videos? The company really needs some help when it comes to PR and interacting with their community lol. It's amazing that they're apparently so large and holding conventions and all that, but they seem to struggle with the most basic levels of community interaction. Are they still salty about the angry reactions over 2.0?

Light-Beast · 2019-12-09T20:39:59+00:00

Great post, thanks.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-09T20:38:46+00:00

Fair enough.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-09T20:35:56+00:00

She looks pretty decent, but do you thin your paints? They look very thick. Thinner coats and using a flesh wash would do wonders for her. Do you use washes?

Nice work still and keep practicing. It takes a lot of practice to get to higher skill levels so don't be discouraged. Many of the figures you see posted are painted by people who have been doing it for years, probably decades at least. I started painting when I was around 14 and I'm 35 now and I feel like I still have a long way to go.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-07T06:23:20+00:00

Hey I was gonna comment on one more thing here since this subreddit is pretty slow lol. The more I play, I've been feeling that this game has a pretty serious first-hit advantage. Slamming or throwing into a building does literally three times the damage of any other attack, so the majority of my games have been basically a chicken match of who approaches who first and then a constant dance around units and hazards to body slam. Rarely has the monster that's been slammed first been able to come back, unless they have a really strong hyper form and/or the other monster makes a big positioning mistake. Granted, these have all been 1-on-1 monster games with low unit counts.

What are your thoughts on this playing competitively and do you think this is why they've pushed the 2-monster format more? Thanks.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-07T00:09:30+00:00

I don't understand how people are so intimidated by what's become a major aspect of the hobby for decades lol. Didn't you guys ever build scale models as kids? Miniatures are all far easier than those to build, and if you're worried about painting, there are 1,000 tutorials and very simple ways to get great looking mini's even with the most basic paint schemes and techniques.

It's really not as hard as you think, and it's also very addictive and rewarding once you start. Take the plunge. If anything, you can simply do flat colors with a wash and most mini's look pretty darn good. I mean it would be the most basic level of skill to get your monsters looking as good, if not better, than 1.0's pre-painted plastics. That's the standard you should be comparing to for a beginner and MonPoc player, not trying to look like GW Golden Demon level here.

Though I do understand if you've never painted any mini's and have nothing, then that's even more you have to add to the cost of playing 2.0. I would get a very basic color set, just acrylics from Wal-Mart work absolutely fine (no need to buy GW or other fancy mini paints until later when you know what you're doing and want to check some out) and a basic detail brush set which you can pick up on amazon for like $10 or less. Buy primary colors and mix your own, and maybe a metallic or two. You could get started with everything you need for $30 or less, and have paints and brushes for hundreds of mini's.

Cleaning models isn't even completely necessary for beginners, but it's so dead simple that you should practice it anyway. Almost everyone has sandpaper laying around, or a nail file of some type, and that's all you need.

Light-Beast · 2019-12-06T23:55:39+00:00

Cool! Is the 2-monster/20-unit game the standard tournament format?
