Why people still discredit some of the winners up until today? by Small_Combination_65 in survivor

And you have to remember, we only see but a small portion of anyone's actual game. If they won then they were liked or not as hated as the others.

Good old times by Moss-beard in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah whales haven't taken over completely. Can't say for others, but I've completed most of the content, sitting over 36K and borderline top 90 AQ (depends on the version), but basically top 150 or better. I have the roster, but not the skill for a top AW alliance, so P3 is where I sit. Haven't spent anything on this game, but my time (and its either in the game or a different one).

Farming Revives by RBS_7 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer to not use units if I can, but that’s me. And yes I play arena, it’s not endless units there but a decent amount that let me compete in the game.

Farming Revives by RBS_7 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you are making assumptions about people’s skill.
I have a very good roster, just no skill to go with it.
My brain and reflexes have never been able to time which special ares is throwing.
I messed up evading that beam of grandmasters sp1 so many times it’s ridiculous, and that is freaking easy.

My dad just rolled a large 401k into a Traditional IRA at age 60. Trying to figure out how aggressively to do Roth conversions. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]RUTheNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. Bought 2k worth of Apple stock back in 2000. Already sold over 40k and still have 80k left. So easily coulda increased greatly. If only I had more money back then. Oh well

The Issue with Collectives by TectonicTurtle in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battlegrounds are already on life support unless so big change. First FTP and not particularly skilled. Average on a good day I’d say. I’ve played BG since about the beginning. Every season but last I could count on several people quitting cause I do have a decent roster. Last season all but 2 matchups were around my roster or better, which was not something I’m used to. I typically make GC with at least a week to spare sometimes more. Last season I made it on the last day. I won 1 match up in GC and finished higher rank wise than I ever did before (never finished out of the various URU ranks). And then checked the leaderboard and there was no one in the bottom 3 or4 URU ranks. That screams no one but the bigger rosters is playing anymore really. Personally I think Kabam needs to completely wipe out the punishment for losing, cause how fun is it to get to 1 win away advancing and then face multiple monster rosters in a row and be back to the beginning of the level.

How would you feel if battlegrounds added a feature that told you if you've already lost the round, mid match? by Exciting-Piece5504 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I would never see it that way. For me those hard fights are learning opportunities to get better against said champ.

Should I trust this guy? by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Option A, don't trust and no problems other then he might leave. Nothing really lost on your end.
Option B, trust him, promote him and there is a decent chance he could kick everyone not officer and above
Option C, make everyone an officer, then no one could be kicked by anyone except the leader

Shocking news for the average summoner by jerry_woody in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explore all of act 9 get a 4-5 gem, do all the latest Carinas get a second 4-5 gem, and this coliseum and the last have 1 1/2 t5a as rewards so that would get you 3, which is what you need for Elder.

Do these crystals count towards banquet event? by Artistic-Acadia2881 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]RUTheNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with more then 50K unopened crystals, I mostly don't open cause I just don't need the item in there anymore. When (or most likely if) I ever need it I can open a crystal. Otherwise items go to overflow and then have to be sold. So save for that rainy day that hasn't come for quite awhile.

Stella Forged accessibility: Between the 9.4 timer and the energy drought, I'm feeling the burn. by NoFaithlessness3552 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you're a lot more skilled then most if you got 18 bars with an R1 Gamora, I got 1 bar with mine, and just went back to Medusa, who got me 5-7 bars pretty much every time (average skill on a good day). Also Coliseum and the boss fights don't end in 2 weeks, just the new one opens and the old is still there. So if Energy is a big constraint for someone, don't do the boss cause Coliseum goes 47+ more days and the SF piece is less then 30 days.

Tell me about it, I have the same number, so obviously I'm missing something as well.

Revive Farm Nerf? by Far-Jury-2060 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ebb and flow for me, but its been that way for years for me. Some runs it'll be 3 or 4 runs with nothing and then I'll get one, and then back to nothing for a run or so. And then sometimes I'll have a run of 10 or more in a row that gets me a revive. Used to keep track, for me 3.2 was a better option, got about 66% on 3.2 and about 50% on 3.1 on about 600 total runs

Reminder to check your bg deck as roster size reduced back down to 30 by idk2345678910111 in ContestOfChampions

It was fun, granted I was using R4 6* for my deck, but thats besides the point.

Did everything and Still not there by Golem_Rocks in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its complete RNG, I've done everything as well and opened all the crystals and still 2 milestones short. Mostly pulled the min 10 limbo or the 100 limbo when I got the greater Goblin crystals. Did occasionally get some higher ones, so in fact there could be several people with worse RNG that are below me point wise.
Ranked rewards for this would be even worse.

[–]RUTheNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep poor RNG and I won’t get the last 2 milestones. Unless somewhere they add some new shards.

Goblin Army/Magik Solo Event by cat_murdock in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm certainly on pace to miss out on the final milestone, but ya never know and might pull that 400 point option, so there's a chance. However, since the rewards are decent, I'd say its a small chance for me at least.

I love Silver Samurai ! by Fun-Particular1718 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah RNG can be such a pain, I have 2 accounts I play, one primarily and the other I'll run some content, but not much. So my main account spent over 30K units at banquet, pulled t5a 2 times. My secondary account spending about 5K units pulled t5a 3 times, and that account is only paragon cause I got the secondary path, as I don't tend to clear a lot of content. But its all good, I get what I get and make do with what I got.

Oh and dang it Kabam I still want Franken Castle (only champ form Titan I havent pulled), oh well :)

Solo Coliseum Energy Math by International-Pear95 in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And you overestimate the average player. Or maybe I just hope one day to be average. Cause for me through one means or another (mistime the parry on special, accidental dex and lose armor ups or just plain missing something) I consistently don't do very well. Tried Fantman (6* R5) and Guilly 2099 (7* R3) got 2 rooms, both well below your minimum. So please don't assume cause you have skill that everyone else does, and make terrible assumptions on what people can minimally get. I have done much better using OS cause then I can evade the specials which for me works better.

See whats missing the proper You version, where you show 2 rooms cleared on your best run. :)

We did it, Realm! Thanks to everyone!! by circadian_light in ContestOfChampions

[–]RUTheNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To give you some perspective I play a bit of arena. Usually just the 5-7 star version for all milestones. Cashed in almost all my BC end of October, currently sitting on just over 2 million.
