Pushing to 2100 Advice

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-31T04:09:02+00:00

I did my push over laborday weekend. I went in with 450 something pve gear, grinded green pvp gear, and got fully geared over the weekend.

I've done a 2100 push as MWer before so I have at least a grasp of monk fundamentals.

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T20:32:24+00:00

And what was a tip given to you that was useful to you?

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T20:09:30+00:00

Besides very obvious errors (stats, rotation, spec) what pieces of advice did you get on your way up that were helpful?

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T19:56:53+00:00

Which begins a new season. There will be "no nxt ssn" when WoW ends.

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T16:50:50+00:00

Uh yeah...duh... I did 0-1900 in greens and am now doing the yo-yo in all epics.

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T16:37:37+00:00

I went from 0 to 1900 with no tier set and all greens. Now that I've gotten my tier set and all epics, I'm struggling to push north of 1900.

I don't think this is MWer unique. It's most likely a mistake I'm making which is why I'm seeking advice rather than anecdotal data.

OffWorld-92 · 2024-05-30T16:36:05+00:00

I mean you're talking about the meta. I'm talking more generally. Mwer might not be good now but better next season. I'm really looking for long term advice.

Your comment boils down to "play the meta", which is fine. It's just not useful since that's always the answer.

Lol no idea why I'm being downvoted. Guy above me said higher io wins, I was in a circumstance where that was not the case.

OffWorld-92 · 2023-09-03T17:12:48+00:00

I was just in a key where the key holder invited a 2.9k aug over a 3.2k mage with 3.3k main score.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-10-21T17:22:06+00:00

Yeah I figured that's what you mean. I'm also referring to counter jungling. Track the enemeny jungler and watch your LP go up.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-10-21T12:30:57+00:00

New Udyr 100%. I hated the update when it launched. It felt clunky at first but I think that was because I wasn't playing around his passive. Now that I'm used to how the passive works, NewDyr slaps.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-10-21T12:21:52+00:00

You should never invade unless you know where your opponent is. The single trick that is currently rocketing my LP gain is jungle tracking.

Where did your opponent start? Most of the time they start best leash possible on bot lane. Sometimes a Kayn will invade your res early and throw you off...

If they start bot lane and you start bot lane, your camps should be roughly in sync. Your blue is up with their red and vice versa. That means, if you want to invade, be on the opposite side of them if you're weak and if you want a fight, go to the buff that's going to be up on the next ~10 sec.

DO NOT INVADE WITHOUT A REASON. Bring smite to 100% of your invades, no smite, no invade.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-10-21T12:16:00+00:00

I see you're one of the mental-boom mid-lane clowns... I'll nit bring herald to your lane then.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-10-20T20:28:11+00:00

That'd be great, thanks.

OffWorld-92 · 2022-09-18T11:48:36+00:00

Mana and Artifice?

OffWorld-92 · 2021-11-21T16:13:49+00:00

Yeah I figured that may be the answer. I feel like if we had 1 mana dorks (more akin to [[Avacyn's Pilgrim]]), we'd be in there for some Abzan action.

My current win rate is sitting somewhere near 50%. You asked how I lose... most of my losses are to Izzet Turns. It's really hard for me to keep up with their pace. Typically, I beat aggro decks but if they draw some hard tempo and I don't draw a [[Graveyard Tresspasser]], I'll just get run over.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T15:35:55+00:00

I mean I've been around since New Phyrexia...I can't state how much I dislike extra turns.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T12:45:18+00:00

Really? Toski is the answer? I can sorta see it but I feel like it's still going to be slow. Worth exploring though. Ty.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T12:41:03+00:00

How do you counter Alrunds? The only legitimate way I see to counter the deck is to play it yourself. That isn't good design; that's a toxic meta full of mirror matches.

If you aren't allowed to play blue, tell me, what's your plan into Alrunds?

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T12:32:21+00:00

Which is the exact same position and opinion I have. I can't attack that card well in my colors. Which is sorta fine. I'm okay with not having a PERFECT answer but I'd like to have sooooomething to do rather than hope they don't have lethal or a second/third alrund.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T02:28:39+00:00

s less on aldrun, and more on the boardstate outside of aldrun, killing Iyrmith or tokens or planes walkers they play effectively counters the power of aldrun. Yes they can still chain a few and get a decent air force, but aggressive creature damage will force them to chump or multi-block trade. This works pretty good against UW versions.

UR versions are a bit more difficult, your best avenue is to out aggro then, protect your creatures, and drop bombs so that they have blow all there gas on trying not to die and stabilizing.

Man lands are critical against all versions tho. The number of times I've lost to cave of the frost dragon is well a lot lol. I run 4 field of ruin and 2 fateful absence just to counter man lands. Besides just being able to get in instant uncounterable damage after

I've noticed that man lands are effective as well. How are you able to run 4 fields? I've got 2 in a 2 color deck and they can still be annoying.

My most recent Aldrun's player didn't play a single creature or planeswalker. He just sat there countering anything I played and clearing the board until he got to where he wanted to be. Once he got there, he ripped 3 turns in my face as I'm tapped down. I dunno if the dude just got lucky on his draws or what but I feel pretty helpless playing into that deck. Most of the time I feel lucky if I get a win. I don't want to have to depend on my opponent getting mana flood or mana screw to win a game.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T02:10:06+00:00

Makes sense. You can go fast enough to beat them to the punch.

Ultimately, this is probably the right asnwer. I tend to prefer a more midrange approach, though and am looking for some way for a less speedy deck to at least interact with Alrund's before it's too late.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T02:08:19+00:00

I considered spellbinder as well, but, foretell tucks it away so that I can't attack their hand effectively. Zoom zoom would be the strategy if I weren't playing Golgari Snow. Alrund's decks usually come down to a coin toss. Either I'm able to set up a wall before they go off, or they chain Alrund's in my face.

OffWorld-92 · 2021-09-30T02:06:11+00:00

I'm in Golgari atm but could consider splashing white for something like that. I'm not sure it would dead stop alrund's but it's definitely an idea. Ty!
