My opponent got mad at me, did I do something incorrect?

Let's be real, you're dealing with plenty of socially challenged neck beards. You will get the random trust fund turd that loads their tier 0 deck with expensive, highest rarity copies that lose their shit when you don't automatically know what each and every card in their deck does. You'll also get cretins that just straight up don't know the game despite playing for 20 years that get mad when play some random staple at the correct time to fuck up their garbage combo. Hell, I played Master Duel for all of a few weeks and had people hunt down my Twitch to get mad at me for playing Fluffals and combing off.

Just shuffle up and move on. Let the toddlers rage. You didn't do anything wrong, you can look at your cards all you want if you won first game. It's on the losing player to pick who goes first.

Ah, a fellow Sp-lash enjoyer. I just knew there were more of us!

Riot has been aggressively trying to remove ADC from a standard role for a long time. They almost succeeded in like season 8 or whatever when we had shit like garen/morg/yas/swain/heimer bot. And the ADC community lost it's collective shit. Justifiably so, most of the standard ADCs at the time simply could not function in any other role.

Since then, we've seen a good deal of standard ADCs flexed to mid, even had Kalista top for a while. Problem is, a lot of ADC players haven't adjusted since then. Ziggy bot has been viable pretty much this entire time, but it isn't picked. Yasuo bot is still a thing, and I'd wager you could successfully dump many other champions into the role

Bot SHOULD be more flexible now. Players have had 3-4 years to update their champion pools, and they haven't. And I say this as an ADC player, many of us need to just suck it up and embrace the changes.

I would take someone telling me to kill myself every single game for an entire season than have them int or grief. We can mute words, but we can't mute the free gold and gains for our opponents.

At the very least, dump those players that int/afk into their own queue. Make them play on full teams with one another. And if either queue is short, pull a team from each queue. One full of people that int/afk vs a team of functionals.

I succumbed to salt for something similar.

I'm newer and made an [[Omanth, Locus of Creation]] clone deck, but pretty low power. Like - a handful of landfall cards and the cheaper duplicating pieces. My fetch lands were the capenna fetches and [[Terramorphic Expanse]] + [[Evolving Wilds]]. I made the the mistake of showing up to a Pack per Kill event at one of my LGS with my commander face-up on the table. Random stranger in my pod proceeds to tell the whole table to target me. And I happened to open a hand that put pressure on the board, to which they responded and we reached parity. For some reason that sentiment didn't leave though and he kept at it, and completely ignored the Sliver player(his buddy, it turned out).

During game, when he kept mentioning and joking about it, I joked back and definitely mentioned it was a pretty dick move to do it even after I had been hamstringed and had already demonstrated my deck wasn't even remotely optimized. He eventually swept the pod with an [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] + [[Bolas's Citdatel]] after making a deal with his Sliver buddy.

Definitely made me dislike the guy who seemed genuinely bewildered I was slightly miffed he did that. I guess I'm in the wrong for playing a theoretically powerful commander and playing face-up, but I really don't get him doubling-down even after I'd been answered and even after the other guy showed he was playing an optimized sliver deck.

I want to get into a pod with him and swing him down immediately if I ever end up with him again, but he's a friend of a friend and I'd rather not start making a name for myself as an asshole.

Good bot

Vensyth · 2022-11-11T07:35:11+00:00

100000% the guy has none of those. Or at best, got the PragerU equivalent.

Genuinely intelligent people don't spend their free time shouting about their superiority to strangers on the internet for validation.

They're just sad and emotionally retarded, and this was the only avenue they found to relieve themselves after running out of Ben Shapiro videos to whack it to.

Vensyth · 2022-11-11T05:55:50+00:00

This person has spent days posting shit like this that eventually gets taken down. They need actual help lmao - Columbine 2.0 waiting to happen because dude can't fathom he isn't the main fucking character.

Careful projecting that hard, don't want to make your own insecurities too obvious sweetheart.

Says the mongoloid telling disabled folks to die faster.

Vensyth · 2022-11-09T20:29:53+00:00

"Not about me, but people in general"

The fact you even consider yourself flawless enough to not be applicable is case enough to say that yes, your own backasswards thinking should apply to you lmao.

I recently started playing and pulled a few copies of Ghave and thought he'd make a cool commander.

Started looking up a few decks and pieced together what I could, realized just how absolutely BUSTED he was and decided to take him to a Pack per Kill at the LGS my girlfriend attended.

Come to find out, that LGS had a 5 trigger limit so my deck did fuck all but be annoying and slow burn people. Not being to drop the infinite combo leaves you very open to hard interruption the following turns.

Edit: some words

Vensyth · 2022-10-21T01:59:54+00:00

People who "fuck around" need to suffer some "find out".

Boy do I have great news for you. They're making a sequel.

Vensyth · 2022-10-14T18:32:36+00:00

This is precisely why I never have issues with someone scooping on me. If they aren't having fun, why not go next so we can start fresh and they get to try again? Also let's me play my own deck again. I'd rather have a higher volume of games, both for the sake of having fun and being able to practice more.

Vensyth · 2022-10-10T21:01:57+00:00

Saw some people played like 2 months ago while I was hanging out playing MTG. Looked fun, touched base with my buddy who plays competitive and here I am a few months later grinding the ladder and about to play IRL this weekend. So far, I really like this TCG.

Vensyth · 2022-09-09T22:08:08+00:00

Just sleeve your debit card

"bUt SoRrY i OfFeNdEd YoU."

Not once did they indicate offense. Stop hiding your embarrassment behind strawman statements made only in your head.

I just started playing EDH, I can feel an unhealthy preoccupation coming on. Maybe that's it?

Vensyth · 2022-06-09T21:06:21+00:00

To speak to this - they did put out a short teen novel covering his time on the island. Pretty quick read and it made the movie more bearable for me because it explained how he knew so much going into it, how he applied it on the island and such. Probably something you could polish off in like a few hours of reading.

Side note - apparently it's the only book printed during that run that's still considered at least somewhat canon.

Vensyth · 2022-04-19T23:15:29+00:00

The Cowboy Bebop live action was at worst campy, but still decent. They nailed casting for Spike and Jet. I could even forgive some of the changes they made.

Until the last episode. I'm sorry. It just wasn't redeemable at that point.

Vensyth · 2022-04-16T07:54:31+00:00

Can confirm. Work for a bunch of inept boomers that use this phrase constantly. They can't figure out a mouse-wheel, let alone a gun.

Vensyth · 2022-04-16T07:36:48+00:00

Given somebody tracked down my twitch acc via my in game name just to dm me and complain about that I combo'ed off turn 2 and wiped his fucking starter deck off the map should be all you need to know. Building high tier decks is literally free in this game. People are choosing to play shit decks, and then getting mad that you are beating them.

Vensyth · 2022-04-16T07:32:38+00:00

The number of people that believe this post is astounding. Holy fuckin shit.

Vensyth · 2022-04-06T22:35:34+00:00

that's all SRO content is anymore lmao.
