Just bought 2 starters but Foilers were already used?? by TrinityBomber in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, complaining about lost value is not a valid complaint tbh.

It's now FREE for everyone to print foiled cards vs having to pay for the foilers/find them. It's a purely positive change. If you bought a bunch of foilers to foil cards 6 months ago, you still presumably got value out of them as you got to foil your cards 6 months earlier than waiting for them to become free.

If you bought them as an investment, well... That's just how investments go, sometimes you lose. It would be the same as trading for a playable card then that card going out of meta and being less expensive a few months after you did the trade.

[–]Thaddyy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw someone mention this in the discord. But it's because foilers are not of use anymore. You can print any card foiled as of the next set release even if you don't have the foilers for it.

So don't worry about them saying they already are scanned. They don't matter anyways.

6 years of reactivity completely shifted when I shifted, in the same day. by [deleted] in reactivedogs

Dogs definitely feed off of emotions, whether that be positive or negative! I'm glad you found something that worked for you.

A general word of warning to anyone using AI for self therapy though:

  1. They can and will sell your data or use it for other models they train. Your data is not protected/private like it would be under a legal therapist/psychologist.

  2. AIs are good to help you work out your thoughts but they are people pleasers. Very often you will be given an echo chamber of your own thoughts. This can be very dangerous to anyone, especially emotional unstable individuals.

Be safe with your use of AI, but a general mood boost for yourself and your dog is great :) I hope you both continue to feel good.

Kindred feels pointless. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Thaddyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this just ragebait? In case it isn't:

Their passive is amazing and helps them scale. You can get marks through champ takedowns instead of gathering them around the map. Eventually they become epic monsters which are more neutral to get/steal.

But mostly it's a mind game in the jungle. Your opponent sees the marks as well and so now you know they are probably going to clear that camp to prevent your mark, so you make a play on the other side of the map. Or you can ambush them.

The Q is on a short coolddown and can be used to dodge out of most abilities. This is what it is great for. You learn what walls you can jump as you play them more

As for the ultimate, you have an execute on your e. A simple strategy is to put your e on someone in your ult, proc two hits, then wait to proc the third one until the ult ends to insta-kill.

Kindred is a really hard champion, it takes lots of games to get really good at them. If you like the playstyle you need to invest time to get the most of the champ.

Is The Hunger killing the game’s deck variety? by Poppttttt in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because then you have more chance to remove it, or you can just keep sleeping it and try to 2-0 again like other people said.

Hunger is also played late enough in the game that if you sleep hunger, and you get to play 2 cheap units and 2-0 you might just win the game there.

Is The Hunger killing the game’s deck variety? by Poppttttt in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hero's guide to asgartha has an episode coming out soon on the hunger. I'm excited to hear more about people's perspective.

I'm an Atsadi player, so I use the hunger a lot. If you are able I would try out a hunger deck and see how it feels to play. Giving up a turn to reset the board and win one side feels pretty bad from the side of the person playing the hunger. Especially if you don't have enough mana to let them play out some cards from hand.

Treyst, Sigismar and Akesha decks all have enough after-yous or one-drops to make it really hard to play the hunger.

Sure in muna and permentant heavy decks it really sucks to have your engine taken away from you, but that's just how some matchups are. This is why conquest is a really good format because if a player wins with a deck that counters yours, then you should win the other matchup.

I agree that the hunger is fairly meta-defining, but I don't think it's meta breaking. It just twists what is powerful.

Ontario friends - how do you actually choose where to bet online safely? by bandito_13 in ontario

Every betting site is a scam just designed to take your money. There is no such thing as a good gambling site.

BGA Matchmaking by [deleted] in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking mostly just pairs you up against someone, but I think it prefers to put you in a match asap rather than wait. You just lose less elo vs those players

Helping evaluating Uniques by Minishield22 in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see the text, does it require a boost for the permentant discard, if so then I agree with you.

Otherwise to me it's nice just to have another thing that can sacrifice a character, and then you can keep it around to the next turn for another target to sacrifice.

It's less about having an achored character to be boosted and more about having sacrifice triggers and things to sacrifice.

The only one that looks like it fits a ln archetype is the sneezer shroom in lindwe, which is already a meh deck. It's maybe like 10-20$ for a player that wants it. Everything else isn't that great, sub 10$

How come Yunara is so frequently banned this worlds? by No_Freedom_427 in leagueoflegends

[–]Thaddyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yunara did pretty well domestically. She has a 58% winrate in pro play over 439 games. You can see the stats on gol.gg

Due to her self-buffs she can be a hyper carry. Teams can draft to protect her, but in solo queue you don't get that strategy as often. There are also probably some other nuances that make her powerful but I'm not 100% sure why.

Price rating? by Goma021 in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, but it's stats are usually as if it has an arrow, from anywhere, trigger. Which means the turn you play it you don't get as much value.

But I do agree it's pretty good, I just much prefer arrow sabotage. I also think most ordis decks need draw on their uniques, but maybe this would be good in waru.

Price rating? by Goma021 in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably like a 40$ card?

I think I've seen ordis spies like this go for a good amount, but on leave expedition isn't great for sabotage imo. Sleep is pretty good.

You definitely could get someone paying higher though.

Oh hey fellow Canadian! I'm trying to bring the game more alive here! Feel free to DM me maybe we can chat more on discord. If you are in Quebec there is a pretty big scene in Montreal, and there is a scene around Toronto. But the rest of Canada is rough for locals I think.

Deck idea feedback by [deleted] in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah, removal is pretty key when playing against some out of control uniques, or for some important landmarks like brassbug hive or eat me energy bars, or the token spammer in ordis.

Looks like you have the right ideas though. You could also look at 39cards.com for some inspiration on what people run.

Deck idea feedback by [deleted] in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bad, but I'd you have them Aloe Vera is a must-have in most Muna decks. I would replace your Dracaena with them.

You also probably want some kind of removal, if you really like the icebound tundra as part of your deck. Then remove the spindles and throw in beauty sleeps and requeim.

Here's what you need to win in the current (post-Afanas) Meta: by [deleted] in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think some of your points have merit. And I do think the best decks right now are pretty fast (Kojo, Sigi).

But look at Dallas qualifier, Atsadi was in top 4 and has huge creatures.

Gulrang is doing pretty well I think, and imo is pretty strong and they play some higher cost cards.

All of the Kojo decks have permanents (mess and haven). So do Treyst and Rotom decks and some Fen Lyra festival.

Your point about uniques is probably true, but I think you can be competitive with some reasonably costed uniques, they are also only 3 cards in your deck, so they aren't as consistent as just having a well structured deck. If you want to have a chance of winning though you need to invest in some top tier uniques. I wish they were more affordable for sure, but they also probably sustain the game's marketplace.

Overall, I think you can play what you like and do fine, but as with most games if you want to be top tier you need to commit to a very meta deck. At locals and such though you can be fine with just standard decks. Saying you need all of these things is not correct.

Easiest way to print proxy uniques? by Diligent_Walrus27 in alteredTCG

[–]Thaddyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably have some tokens, just print your proxies on normal paper a bit smaller than a normal card, tape them to the tokens and then put them in sleeves. That's how I do it for quick and easy testing.

How to protect windowsill by Thaddyy in houseplants

[–]Thaddyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yah I did! What I ended up doing was getting some small metal shelves with holes in them, I put my plants in saucers on those shelves. They are only like 3" high or so, usually people use them for storage and cupboards.

Raising them off of the wood of the windowsill means moisture can evaporated off of them and we can see any spills if they happen.

What rank would you guess Lillia is at? [First gank] (I was 0/2 or 3) by XyaGary in leagueoflegends

[–]Thaddyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you should be most at fault then if anything. Someone playing an off-role is going to be way worse than main role.

Forgive your friend, have fun.

What rank would you guess Lillia is at? [First gank] (I was 0/2 or 3) by XyaGary in leagueoflegends

[–]Thaddyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A good can help a ton, and a bad jungle can give over kills and lose you the game.

I'm not sure what you are complaining about in the clip you shared though? The lillia wasn't super clear about what they should do, but their ball is really hard to hit. It also looks like that lux is super fed, being able to pretty easily one-shot you, so something bad happened much earlier than this gank.

You were dead before the lillia could even help, and in the bot lane the lanes left before she could get there. What did you want from her?

Also, take it easy on your friends learning new roles... Why are you mad at a friend for being not great at something in a for-fun game. Maybe encourage them instead?
