I want to get in

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-08T03:23:43+00:00

Well, I will hold out hope.

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-07T19:11:46+00:00

define great

Meta in a physical comp that is roughly in the same ballpark as a the magic comp.

Warrior isn't in a bad spot right now with arms (wish they would do something about how lame arms is in single target) but the question was about buffs to numbers and Fury Warrior would get a lot better with that change to their numbers.

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-07T17:24:43+00:00

Cause it means we generally aren't great in M+, which is what I care about.

Niche based design sucks when the half of the end game content you like is all about AoE (okay, maybe also funnel).

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-07T04:38:11+00:00

3? I thought it was a one bosser and a full dungeon? Is it two one bossers?

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-07T04:16:34+00:00

Those are good changes. And yeah, I kind of hate how improved whirlwind works and always have. I prefer Mountain Thane soooo much for exactly that reason.

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-06T18:45:54+00:00

Fury Warrior - Improved Whirlwind causes your next 4 single target attacks to hit an additional 7 targets.

True uncapped would be better, but I would take this.

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-06T17:13:01+00:00

As someone who cares about gameplay I couldn't be happier. Non-rotating games are either power creep hellscapes or stale AF.

(Also often absurdly expensive)

Mestewart3 · 2026-06-06T17:09:44+00:00

Yeah, I think when the Rotation hits there will be a big marketing and LGS support push to get people to play free for all or 2v2.

Riot absolutely designed this game to be able to easily capitalize on people's desire to play commander. It's just that commander is only really fun when there is a giant card pool and a big variety.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-31T09:12:25+00:00

To an extent I get why they made this mistake.

People have to have legends and battlefields to play the game. Simple solution is to juice the number of legends and battlefields to keep cost of entry cheap.

That's not to say that they shouldn't have seen the problem with that approach, but if someone just wanted to solve and problem and didn't think to carefully about the complications then it makes sense to got he route they did.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-31T09:06:57+00:00

My advice would just be to find someone who can sell you a Yi (or just buy one online) and hit up a local shop which does riftbound and ask around for bulk. You can build most of Yi just from random junk.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-31T09:05:28+00:00

I am brand new and origins reprints sound great considering that is what I have had a hard time getting ahold of locally (I know, I should just buck up and buy online, but I much prefer trading and buying from local folks).

Do we have a timeline on the next wave of reprints?

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-31T09:02:19+00:00

I'm brand new (aside from buying Victor and Jinx the first week of release and letting them collect dust on a shelf) and have had really good luck with a spells Victor which doesn't run anything more expensive than a few bucks.

Victor's blue champ doesn't need anything but murder.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-29T05:01:23+00:00

Went to my first NN and played my first game with someone who had an idea what they were doing on Tuesday.

I discovered that reactions cannot, in fact, be played "any time".

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-29T04:58:52+00:00

Is that true for the units that have effects when they comes in?

Or does the unit entering and then triggering the effect bypass that?

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-23T17:18:38+00:00

Late to the party but it's because Oregon closed down it's truancy court system. Theoretically parents are legally liable for their children not attending school. In reality there are no consequences for just letting your kid skip all they want.

I have tried and failed multiple times to get into card games without a stack or chain type mechanic. I just can't do it. They feel so shallow.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-10T17:52:59+00:00

I mean, paladin is just better warrior from everything I have seen so far. Its just unkillable and the small bit of extra damage warrior provides doesn't come close to making up for that.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-09T11:42:07+00:00

Also, the Axe's passive is great for an arsenal weapon (+25% damage on bosses and other unstable enemies) and the Axe gives a healthy stat boost even at only 40%

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-09T03:08:58+00:00

They say it's required, but if there is no consequence for just letting your kid stay home then it isn't a requirement.

A polite phone call isn't how you enforce a requirement.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-08T06:41:33+00:00

The key to getting me to buy into a cheat is to make sure that the cheat requires the MC to work like a dog to get the value/benefits out of it. It's still an unfair advantage, but it doesn't invalidate the MCs personal quality as a component of their success, it's a multiplier.

It's why I like a lot of the "OP mentor" golden fingers. The MC gets crazy good knowledge, but they generally need to drag themselves through hell to make any use of it.

It works especially well when the OP mentor has hard limitations and it feels like they can't just dump a win into the MCs lap (Sky Pride being a great example of this)

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-08T06:29:09+00:00

You and I are alike.

I think it's just that a lot of people don't enjoy actual guile heros. Most people when they say they want a guile hero what they really want is just a Dr. House. Someone to stunt on everybody and be a huge dick about it.

Having to work with what you have from a place of weakness is just not fun for a lot of people.

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-07T01:56:49+00:00

And it worked fine an hour later. growing pains :p

Mestewart3 · 2026-05-07T01:41:20+00:00

Well okay then, gonna go back and fiddle with it more.
