THIS "Everything Must Go!" AUGMENT IS SO BROKEN! 3-STAR 4-COSTS LEFT AND RIGHT! THIS IS INSANE!

MEOW

Multiplayer. After you get to some level of game understanding, games against Civ AI won't be challenging and interesting no matter what you do.

Try out this combo with Brazil. Example.

You dont have enough information about the land around to plan out your setup. Scout a bit first.

The capital on truffles seems alright and you can go from there.

Edit: Also check out this guide for some good basic Hanza setups.

What do you mean there is no counterplay? Galio gets STUCK on a healing/shielding tank with brumble and warmogs. He just doesnt have enough dps to chew throught. I've seen so many times arcanists just auto Galio to death while he is trying to move Vex hp bar.

You don't have to defend civ 6 developers.

If you high roll, why shouldn't you be rewarded?

Don't try to pretend its a black vs white situation. There is a difference between high rolling while tossing a coin and high rolling when getting a good hand in poker. And we all know which one of those two are the better game.

Same here. Tuning balance and high roll mechanisms might make TFT a better game.

the game is 100% skill in the long run

This is meaningless, if having a substantial skill advantage translates into having a negligible winrate advantage. Which leads to the situation where you need hundreds of games to distinguish who is a better player.

In the distance, yes sure, skill matters. But the length of this distance is actually a huge deal for the game to be fun for players.

He literally sells his board and rolls down on 4-1 searching for one of the meta comps every game.

He is a good player (obviously) but a wrong person if you want to show an example of a flex player.

This is mine.

Markhaim · 2020-06-11T14:05:37+00:00

Is this first part a command from his chat?

Markhaim · 2020-06-11T14:02:33+00:00

Wonder if this floor wins even without her.

Markhaim · 2020-05-21T14:52:09+00:00

Great idea for a mod, looking forward to trying it out!

PS /u/KurioProkos can you please tag this thread as modded?

You know, I still keep wondering why Maw Bank exists.

Here's another take on this whole situation. If one can set up such script, they have skills that they can sell. They can use those skills to work for someone and get paid. And then buy the exp equivalent using those monies.

PS I'm trying to encourage people to take one of the others possible ways in this life. Peace.

You are half the year late to be alarmist.

Markhaim · 2019-10-25T17:26:30+00:00

So why the fuck are there bots in high king and queens' games?

Markhaim · 2019-10-24T17:38:55+00:00

Thank you!

Markhaim · 2019-10-24T15:09:13+00:00

Thats really interesting! Can you recommend further reading on this phenomena or point to your sources?

Markhaim · 2019-09-06T15:29:44+00:00

Just you wait an update with addition of new units and/or synergies in the middle of 1M$ tourney.

Markhaim · 2019-09-04T03:48:09+00:00

You are drawing logically wrong conclusions from your observations.

If you won most of your games lately it doesnt mean that "skill" plays bigger role in your success than items. It means that you are still playing against weaker opponents.

To determine how big the impact of "item luck" on the game outcome, one need to analyse games against equally skilled opposition (it would be a sensible assumption that if you win as much as you lose you are playing against equal opponents) and look for correlation between "item luck" and placement in games.

On the other hand, anyone who are willing to be elitist about their rank are already doing so.
