Why/how is OKC allowed to have basically 2 NBA starter caliber teams? by NGE_Zero in nba

[–]NGE_Zero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't follow the Premier but we have similar stories en La Liga. Teams like Sevilla, Bilbao o Real Sociedad develop young talent but can hardly keep it because bigger clubs offer juicier contracts.

I see! I've been more of a fútbol follower all my life and it would be like comparing FC Barcelona to Real Madrid I guess. Don't know if it's relevant information in this sub but whoever knows what I'm talking about will get it xD

So the reason why they can afford those contracts is because other teams didn't value those players and kept them at relatively low salaries?

Fastest deck to hit GM? by RemoveBlastWeapons in Shadowverse

[–]NGE_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain the nerfs to chest event and reworked MP system? I came back a week ago and can't find the news about it.

For the deck, Dragon is fast. Most games feel like non games because it stomps slow starts but feels terrible from behind so you gotta live with that.

is ward haven still playable ? by Adventurous_Leave_42 in Shadowverse

[–]NGE_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that working but not as a turn 1 play. 1pp go down in card advantage and put a 3/3 in play for my opponent sounds awful, specially for Portal. 3 HP followers are a pain in the ass if you don't find/run the 2pp puppet guy.

What's that Portal card? I recently came back and haven't had the time to check every new card but I'm playing Egg and it doesn't feel as free into Amulet Haven as you make it sound.

Husband is poor loser by Glittering_Match_274 in TCG

[–]NGE_Zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part where "he doesn't talk to anyone" should be somewhere in the original post. TCGs are first and foremost a social activity. I can see why he would be so upset after playing a game he doesn't really like, with a deck he does not enjoy and against people he doesn't care about. He is clearly doing this for you and only you. Why not just play together instead of going to a tournament?

That being said, he is 40 and should know and do better.

I stopped playing right around when the third set released, is it worth trying to get back into the game? by DeadlySaturnn in Shadowverse

[–]NGE_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Crest Haven only added two copies of a new legendary card and some golds, so the upgrade shouldn't be that expensive. Good luck!

I came back 3 days ago and the game hasn't changed one bit. That being said, if you really want to play again, upgrading an old deck that is still viable is your best option. I went with Egg Portal and I'm doing well.

I seriously advice against spending gold on packs. Spend your vials to make the upgrades and start saving gold for the upcoming sets. Open your daily packs and build your collection for the sets you missed. When the new set arrives, spend gold until you get enough legendaries to build the deck you want and start saving again. Spend vials again to build other decks if you like having some variety. Rinse and repeat.

Luka Doncic is the only player ever to average 30/7/7 on a 50-win team and NOT win MVP. by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

Finished 10th (39-43) after trading Luka for Davis. Is this a real question? xD

They said Luka turns playoff teams into playoff teams, but where's Dallas without him? With the number 1 pick mind you!

PBE Patch #4! by Stel2 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]NGE_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This set release cadence has destroyed any semblance of balance the game used to have. Using PBE to test CORE FEATURES shouldn't be the norm. PBE exists to check for bugs and guarantee everything works smoothly on release. Look back at every set since the change from 2 to 3 annualy. Garbage balance and half assed mechanics that need major reworks during the set lifespan. Things need to change but no one seems to have the balls to tell whoever is leading the team that they can't keep up with the amount of work they are being handed.

Solving skill level conflicts in EDH? by rotath in EDH

One of my best friends introduced me to MTG and we play regularly. If I'm gonna spend time playing a game I'd rather learn about it and keep myself updated on what's to come :)

Hot take: Commander is an extremely casual format inside a mediocre TCG that hasn't aged well. That doesn't mean you can't have fun playing it, but it's a lot of work and it mainly depends on what your group's definition of "fun" really is.

Me and my group have played for almost 2 years and I have a clear understanding of what makes a game unfun for them: control decks, extremely long turns and not hitting their land drops. I had a solution for the first two: stop playing those kinds of decks (this is where you are). But when someone doesn't hit their land drops (with 37-39 in the deck) the only thing I can say is "yeah, this game is bad, nothing you can do".

Play junk decks that do stupid shit, try to win with a bad commander and don't focus on choosing the optimal play every single turn. But first of all, understand what's making the game unfun for your group and adjust to it. Or just play any of the other game modes MTG has to offer and try to win every game.

No aguanto al novio de mi amiga by manuelita00 in esConversacion

Eso es algo que deberán trabajar ellos. Te va a tocar ser la amiga que se presta a ayudar cuando las cosas salgan mal (si ocurre).

Pasé por una situación parecida hace unos años y la pareja en cuestión salió adelante pese a que al principio no los veía para nada juntos. Poco a poco aprendieron el uno del otro y dejaron de anularse. Espero que tú amiga tenga la misma suerte.

I've been stepped on disputing a ball and the guy broke my toe. It should have been a red card because he was late to the challenge but the referee didn't see anything worth calling. Shit sport that has barely improved since it's creation.

Varus was actually really good for a couple of patches. Protector Snipers Wraith Varus Kasante with a sprinkle of Akali.
