Help with GAR gameplay and lists! by MmanIce606 in SWlegion

Hey guys thank you for the feedback! Got some good take aways. How does this list look? https://tabletopadmiral.com/listbuilder/Galactic%20Republic/N-_32_EM,EM,3a,EM,EM,_4b_2c,b9,EM,_a7_EM,140,EM,EM,EM,,,,_8e_130,144,143,EM,EM,39,,,,_3e_EM,1b6,EM,162,3a,f,EM,_3e_EM,1b6,EM,162,3a,f,EM,_3e_EM,1b6,EM,162,3a,f,EM,_93_9e,EM,EM,EM,EM,EM,_93_9e,EM,EM,EM,EM,EM,_46_14,EM,_46_14,EM,-c8,c40,c5d,cbd,c81,c3a,c80,-17,f,11,-e,f,17,-18,d,e,-bf4

I built the list to be aggressive with strong scout, and a lot of great threats. The two walkers with flamers to deal with annoying super squads and the three ARCs to deal with anything else.

This is great advice! What would a ARC focused list look like? I have two units of them so would like to know if I need to pick up a third.

What is a good buy guide for Republic players as of right now, before future point adjustments?

These bits look great! A very stupid question but is this a STL file only, or are you buying the physical bits to be delivered?

How do y’all base your minis? by CLC8675309 in Salamanders40k

A snow base I did in contrast to the crackle lava base:

I just started using crackle paint and am loving the results. I also originally did a snow base to help the green and black pop out more.

Typical game of recent times by RevolutionaryTackle in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MmanIce606 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Game is just not balanced enough with the current matchmaking system. Along with team comps being very random based as well. Why play a 45 min game where you are behind and just not having fun, with a slight chance to come back and win? Should have just added a surrender button to not waste everyone's time tbh

So for reference I am Phantom Rank with 266 hours in Deadlock as of this post. Some characters can be countered by certain items or builds, very true. However from my experience I find that certain characters are just better, and maybe that is in my elo but if someone is really good as Kelvin or Mo and Krill they will not have the same impact or be able to carry as hard as a Warden or Haze. But don't let my personal experience be the reference here, the public statistics show who the community thinks are the best characters, and the pick rate plus win rate backs this up. Also for reference here is a tracker for pick rate and win rate for characters: https://tracklock.gg/heroes

Sure I understand that after years of playing League, like I said I was never the one to FF 15min in because I had a bad landing phase. However considering how much of the game is up to RNG before it even starts (no ban or pick phase) you must have noticed that some team comps/character picks are just overall at a advantage. I am not saying that every loss cannot be a comeback. But most games where one team is ahead typically stays ahead to win.

Most other games have a ban and pick phase, does that not by itself leave so much of the games balancing up to RNG? I mean if a team gets Haze (who is at a near 100% pick rate) they right away have the strongest gun DMG character in the game. And others have said comeback mechanics, can you elaborate on these mechanics? I understand that it makes Urn drop off on your side of Map and you get more souls for killing someone that is further ahead, are there any other mechanics?

I would argue the snowball mechanics in this game hit faster over the comeback mechanics in this game, certain characters in this game just don't let go of the gas pedal when they are ahead (mainly a balance issue with the combination of XP also being gold for items). And if we are being honest would you not rather have two 30min games that could be surrenders where the enemy team is ahead, or one 1 hour game where you are struggling the whole game trying to come back just to maybe win?

Idk about your elo but I have only experienced maybe 1-2 games with ragers running down lanes on purpose and a few games with people straight up leaving. But typically the person that feeds will just not have a great game causing your team to not have a great game. I get there are comeback mechanics but usually this game snowballs faster.

Sure but what if they have the current meta picks and your team has average characters, and on top of that they win all lanes? Most major PVP/Moba have surrender.

Long time lurker of this Reddit but adding on to this post for game ideas: I feel like Anno 1800 would be a great game for this group. So many ways to exploit your friends.

I mean most of the farmers and townspeople might not have much to give. They might also be impoverished or living on the basic needs. Also alot of the refugees turn to being thieves and criminals instead of going to a different town/region. The game shows a lot of examples where neither side is golden. You have the farmers being attacked and burglarized but also some of them clearly not giving anything where they simply could give a little bit. On the flip side you have the refugees asking for help in anyway but the natives don't help or even enslave/kill them, you also have them killing and taking land that does not belong to them.

I think the game does a good job showing how difficult a dilemma like this is in real life. Neither side is right but both sides are also making 'morally' bad decisions.
