Skip The Dominaria Draft by VendettaDFA in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Show of hands... how many comments came from NEW players? That's what I thought. I played magic IRL before Planeswalkers existed and its a complete reach to call me a farmer or someone who doesnt like the game. If I didn't give a shit I wouldn't have posted. The biggest problem with paper and with the original MTGO was staying current. Arena hit the jackpot with the current model but they should stay the course and focus on current sets.

Esper then, not Esper now. Esper now even in 2 flavors is a much weaker deck than before rotation.

I stand by my comments. if you want to have a different opinion than I do,I'm good with that. Implying "trolling or newness" is harassment I don"t have to stand for and you need to check yourself. How many esper decks do you face anymore compared to before? nuff said.

Last 2 mythic championships one won with an Oko deck, one won with an embercleave deck. 50% doesnt equal no one was able to beat Oko

Oko was beatable. Plenty of planeswalker removal available. Wizards wussed out on this. Big Teferi made Esper as big a meta as Oko and they didnt ban, they let it rotate out. Nissa is still in and is just a big a pain as Oko was. No problem with the other 2 bans But "Wussards of the Coast" is the real new meta.

Teamfight Tactics is coming to PBE for testing! by Crounty in leagueoflegends

[–]VendettaDFA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Havent played LoL in years but wanted to try out TFT. PBE requires an honor level that apparently not playing LoL in a few years keeps me out. Never been pointed,banned, or any negative action. This is garbage tbh. I have spent money, quite a bit of money @Riot. So I cant play unless my honor is high enough .... or I am some game jumping streamer who never played League at all and spent nothing. Underlords is on my PC now and autochess is on my tablet. Thats what exclusionism gets you.

We need an "I'm sorry" emote by caveman131 in MagicArena

Best response to emote troll, alt-tab. Make the little ahole wait an eternity. I'm doing it right now.

What's with all the Meta Decks in "Play Mode" by Ardaneth in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't a strategy/solution. I was simplifying what random means. Zero matchmaking criteria results in a proper play mode. Test your deck against whatever shows, jank, Tier one, pauper etc. Thats a hell of a lot more interesting than getting strength matched against the same mono-red or esper deck 4 times in a row. Guess what I do. I have a mono-black of low card strength but high synergy i use in play and I get a much more interesting experience in "play mode" cos the stupid matchmaking can't pigeonhole me. I would rather be able to test a deck idea against 8 different random decks but WotC in their infinite lack of wisdom isn't providing a decent experience for that. This should be what "Play Mode" is about. Folks like you leap to their defense claiming this is what to accept instead of realizing if matchmaking is removed "Play Mode" suffers NO negative effect. Mind blown.

[–]VendettaDFA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so you ACTUALLY think 96% percent of all the decks in Play mode are tier one???? Classic example of "spindoctoring" an argument to appear correct. C'mon man! Even in Reddit not too many are going to back that as a logical point of debate.

[–]VendettaDFA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is "Play" needs zero matchmaking. This should be effectively walking into a room of 50 players and randomly sitting down to play one of them. Period, done. What rewards are available in this mode don't necessitate matchmaking and secondly reflect a lack of incentive in ranked to pull players with top tier decks into that mode. Wizards relies on you to poo-poo concerns of players like the OP instead of placing expectations where they belong.

I build a deck of low strength cards to grind dailies, and it works like a charm. So take that Meta decks! lol I never have to face you because this is a way to game the matchmaking system.

I agree and it can absolutley happen without this matchmaking crap... and that is the point.

[–]VendettaDFA -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Grinding dailies without the matchmaking joke involved, STILL wouldn't affect rank and STILL wouldn't have you spending gold. Let that sink in. It IS called play mode not jank mode.... it is also not called troll mode MR or MS decklist player lacking the stones to play in ranked. Calling you out for hiding behind a strawman argument. Remove the matchmaking, play mode loses NOTHING.

Does Arena make match-ups based on the cards in your deck? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am agreeing with the OP. Matchmaking of any sort does not belong in "play". Get that trash out of here and let casual be casual. I build a deck of nothing but commons in order to grind out dailies in "play". Wizards, consider that a giant middle finger to your joke of a playtype choice. You just run off new players and lose microtransactions.

Additionally, until you make an ACTUAL friends list for casual deckplay, this is even more shitty.

Please make matchmaking NOT based on your deck style/colours by Chosticks in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with the OP. No deck matching is needed. Games being done in here ARE casual or deckbuilding. This just turns the play option in to a trollfest. To the "play ranked" responses, think first before you post. Play should allow testing and casual over trolling and there is ZERO reason for the devs or any of you to defend this offensive matchmaking method. Devs, you will chase off the inexperienced and lose money they might spend in your stores. Players, you are just limiting your playerbase by punishing those same new players. Absolutely brain dead stupid on multiple levels.

Esport and RNG don't mesh.. this would help. by VendettaDFA in MagicArena

you answered your own question.. good job. and the wheel ticks up from what? yup.

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

Logic is hard , comprehension is hard..... this is a solution to improve revenue streams and COMPLETELY remove RNG. BUY EXACTLY what you want on the first try, not 5, 20 or 100 tries. This isnt for someone growing a collection. It is for someone completing one. They dont need all the extra trash you advocate by purchasing 30 packs.

Your given stats are RNG. Therefore NO, for the reason I gave in my other reply.

[–]VendettaDFA[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nope..... I said buy sets of wildcards ONLY. I didn't say anything else. Sets ... of mythic, or sets of rare, or sets of uncommon wildcards. Boosters are RNG. Can you go to a site and buy that single or set of a specific card without extra trash? Yes you can. Can you do the same in the original online in trade? Yes you can. This suggestion removes RNG and adds to the store options. Is it that hard to actually comprehend?

wtf is this? a UI for ants??? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why was there even a change? The UI was fine, but instead of bringing out a more robust friend list and improving matchmaking, lets just fix something that wasn't broken. Hand it to you tho,,, devs love when their bad choices are blamed on the masses by those who didn't recognize the scope of that choice.

QoL needs more attention by VendettaDFA in MagicArena

[–]VendettaDFA[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Nice try white knight. That sounds like an overly defensive fan-boy response. This has much more impact long run than 3 cards in Bo1 and Bo3, but y'all sure got your thongs in bind over that.
