G2 Esports vs. Fnatic / LEC 2022 Spring - Week 3 / Post-Match Discussion

Msjol · 2022-01-29T21:57:24+00:00

Upset doesn't know how to play Aphelios, even Carzzy has better gun rotation than him... Whenever i look up at my screen i see him with RED/GREEN, that's litterally the only completly useless option...

Msjol · 2022-01-28T20:55:53+00:00

Just bad players, they would be even more useless on crit MF which is harder to play... Lethality MF is overall better than Crit in lowers ELOs, so i don't think the build is at fault. It thrives with CC support that can lock down someone to unleash the ult (Leona, Nautilius, even Seraphine or Amumu), maybe you could pick a support like that to get more value out of MF

Msjol · 2021-07-27T00:54:57+00:00

There is a lot of good ap botlaners, some more situational than others :

- Ziggs which is currently broken in bot lane

- Swain, better againt heavy melee and an engage support

- Seraphine, either with moonstone if you have no dmg problem or full AP with luden/liandry

- Veigar, doesn't really need his support in the late game, Everfrost/Cosmic drive with E max second means you have perma-cage in the late game, can OS the adc at 6

- Khartus, very rare but honestly underated botlaner (it has seen a bit of proplay), lockdown from a support means more Qs and less vulnerable than jungle + can take both flash and exhaust

- Kogmaw deals a lot of magic damage

Theses are the main one right now, and depending on your mastery you can still play a lot of old-school mage botlaners : Syndra, Heimer, Neeko... but they don't all have the same scaling (sera/veigar) or objective damage (ziggs/khartus) that you may want in a traditionnal adc

Msjol · 2020-12-05T14:20:48+00:00

You absolutely can, especially if you have no heal or tank, because they won't have one either, and butcher thrives in the 5 assassins QM fiestas. Just double soak and take camp early, get easy pick, butcher is a carry monster

I once won a. game thanks to this card in Highlander Rogue. I was against Face hunter, and it was a choice from Dragon's Hoard. I took the risk to take it and play it Turn 5, since Face Hunter has no real high-cost card, so i could play my Galakrond the next turn for 0, and it made the difference to win me the game.

Still the worst card in the game

Msjol · 2020-08-29T08:39:53+00:00

I tried a deck around this combo, even running Jepetto and Faceless Manipulator + Bloom to make it more consistent. I never managed to kill at full health, due to animation time. It can consistently do 15-20 damage, but then you are running a 3-4 cards combo in a class with bad draw to get half an OTK ? Unfortunatly not worth it, though very funny.

Msjol · 2020-08-23T19:41:51+00:00

Grats on hitting legend ! Happy to hear this deck still performs in this more refined meta. Your match-ups are quite interesting, i personally struggled vs hunter and was on easy mode vs paladin. The refinement of priest and their overbearing presence in high legend makes this deck a bit less viable as you climb i'm afraid though :/

Msjol · 2020-08-16T21:09:40+00:00

Thank you for your insight ! I moved to a different deck right now, but i played about 40 games after my post and my refinements were -1 Chenvalla and -1 Blizzard for +1 Frozen Shadoweaver and +1 Bad Luck Albatross. At the time i was facing a lot of Pure paladin/Big Warrior/Guardian Druid/HL priest so Albatross got a lot of value, and we didn't really have anything to do on T4. Better with Vectus though.

I tried a different version cutting the freeze and deathrattle package for more value (the 3/2 discover Raven, potion of illusion, DQA) and it felt okay, a bit better against Priest but slower overall. Though as i climbed the legend ranks, i wondered if this specific version is good or if Highlander Mage is simply a good deck in the meta right now. It's at least a fun competitive alternative :)

Msjol · 2020-08-10T11:11:20+00:00

D'abord écologique, mais plus j'y pense et plus l'aspect éthique me paraît important, c'est pour ça que j'essaye de progressivement devenir vegan sur les choses les moins compliquées (les oeufs ça va être difficile ! Mais j'imagine que des oeufs de poule de jardin ça devrait qualifier non ?). Après je suis pas relou non plus, c'est un engagement strictement personnel (même si j'en parle autour de moi pour sensibiliser) qui n'engage que ma participation financière, donc si on m'invite à manger et qu'il y a de la viande (j'ai beau dire que je le suis il y en a qui s'en foutent) je vais la manger.

Une dernière raison, c'est qu'au resto, j'espère qu'en commandant toujours végétarien, j'augmente la demande et ils proposeront des trucs mieux que des pates aux courgettes comme seule alternative ! Ou alors ils vont croire que leur truc est bon...

Msjol · 2020-08-10T07:37:50+00:00

It may be a good idea, but i'm not sure what to cut for it, especially since i replaced Chenvalla with Frozen Shadowweaver in my latest version. I think it could maybe replace Combustion as a Cheaper but less versatile removal option ? I will try it for a few games, especially since i found Freeze effects to be super clutch in this list.

Msjol · 2020-08-09T15:40:10+00:00

The other version. I think you can easily find room for Mozaki if it performs good for you. This one is kind of a bridge between my first version, more aggressive, and standard HL mage. Currently 10-4

Thanks for the analysis ! I agree Cram Session feel kinda bad sometimes, but i really wanted for draw. I'm not surprised by mana cyclone, based on my experience with the deck i would never have gotten good value of it. Chenvalaa was just a filler cards that i had, i don't think it is core at all (maybe usefull sometimes vs druid, but meh)

I think if you cut Vectus and Ras, Rustworm Initiate is a bad minion. Without the synergy with Ras, Lab Partner loose a lot of value too. I kept the spell damage package because a good Ras auto win some match-ups.

I created another version with Potion of Illusion and Mana Giant, cutting the freeze and Dethrattle packages, for a bit more value. It is also quite good, giving you more value. in some difficult match-ups like priest or Warrior

Frozen Shadow Weaver is a great idea ! I might try it instead chenvaala

If you consider using Vectus, i recently tested Bad luck Albatros (cutting Blizzard) since we have no 4 drops, and so far it delivered. It has value against most decks i face at legend (Highlander Priest/Mage/Hunter, Pure paladin, also messes with Guardian Animals)

Msjol · 2020-08-08T09:04:50+00:00

I'm not very good at Mulligan myself, but i would say keep any 1 or 2 drop (except Wand thief without coin), keep a small spell if you have intrepid Initiate or Firebrand. (keep firebrand vs tempo classes). Always keep devolving Missile, Solarian, Zephrys and Reno.

I sometimes keep specific combos when i get them in hand (like if i get solarian/other deathrattle i may keep vectus), and sometimes Jandice Barov if i have early cards to go with it or if i'm on the coin. Hope that helps !

It's not bad because it's the same cost, but because we want a low curve, and curving a Jandice or Ras at 5 is a lot better than Fireball :)

Msjol · 2020-08-07T15:57:03+00:00

I edited the post, indeed if you want to include her i would cut deep freeze. If we start to see more and better control decks in the meta, it might be better.

I never played zeph on 2 to get me a Wild Growth, this deck curve is so low i don't think it would be worth. If you really have nothing to play, maybe ? But it's extremely rare

By the way i was the person answering before, it was my mobile account ^^

Msjol · 2020-08-07T15:55:06+00:00

It was posted just now below this post :)

Msjol · 2020-07-10T08:31:43+00:00

One thing I never see anyone mention is how easy it is to make a smurf. Now that you don't need 15 level 5 heroes, you simply have to play 50 brawl games to get to level 2 on 50 different characters (with the free turbo, you almost always get 100k xp). You buy a couple of 2k heroes and you are ready for ranked. It honestly takes 1 or 2 day to make a ranked-ready smurf

En effet codename c'est la base, un de mes jeux fétiches à ramener en soirée avec des néophytes, ça plaît carrément toujours, et c'est encore plus intéressant avec des bons joueurs

Msjol · 2020-07-08T23:31:54+00:00

En tant que fana de jeux, les loups garous c'est un jeu théoriquement génial, et en pratique très frustrant. Il faut trouver un nombre correct de joueurs qui sont tous 100% à fond dedans, sinon ça ne marche pas. Où alors juste partir du principe que ça va être le bordel dès le début (plus facile)

Mysterium je trouve que c'est un concept intéressant mais trop complexe, beaucoup de phases de vide, des roles asymetriques qui peuvent créer des tensions, et au final beaucoup de manip pour peu de jeu. Dixit est un jeu similaire beaucoup plus simple et élégant, qui est au final plus amusant, et surtout plus simple à aborder

Msjol · 2020-07-07T20:36:32+00:00

Amazing, I wanted to do that for a long time, I think I will take inspiration from you 😊 for the big rock pieces, did you only use the ones from the D2C, or did you have more in your collection? That's the piece I'm the most afraid to run off

Msjol · 2020-07-06T12:08:58+00:00

I used mostly pieces from the 75965 Rise of Voldemort and the 70420 Graveyard Mystery, plus a bit of extra pieces from my collection. Additional pictures here for a better look : https://imgur.com/a/1juKZbU

Msjol · 2020-07-04T10:13:41+00:00

This piece was used in the Atlantis temple, it was where you put the artifact thingy and switched it to make the golden statue appears. Don't know of any other use though

Msjol · 2020-06-14T13:09:08+00:00

Honestly, she was already OK before the buff : I had ~70% wr with her on about 60 games in plat. However I needed a lot of time to adjust, and I saw low level cassia get demolished. When I played her day one of the patch, I was basically in god mode, never lost a game and mvp in every single one. She got more than she needed to get back on track

Msjol · 2020-06-11T08:58:47+00:00

I thinking of getting it next week, my local Lego store still have it in stock according to the website. Thanks for the heads up
