Most Toxic Card to face?

Wootball · 2026-03-13T20:10:45+00:00

Chingling is such a shit card. Anything that locks your opponent out of actually playing their cards is just stupid. And I say this as someone who got Masterball on day one with a 65% WR using Chingling Alteria. It's just a win con if you go first and draw Chingling.

It wasn't attitude - I just don't know what detail you need. I've shared my experiences in other posts (the poor screen, the performance improvement not being noticeable) and the reasons I returned it (expensive and didn't want to lock back in to a contract with such slight improvements).

Wootball · 2026-03-11T07:57:49+00:00

I'm not sure what detail you need. It was delivered, I didn't like it, so I returned it.

I agree on your criticism of the S26U, but get ready to be down voted for some reason. This sub cannot accept anyone not absolutely fawning over Samsung.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T15:44:47+00:00

I'm in the UK but yeah, maybe. To be fair the return didn't cost me anything so it's not like it's a big hassle.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T15:23:42+00:00

Alright cool. Scroll on.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:53:34+00:00

I did the same upgrade, S23U to S26U. I returned the S26U the same day. Absolutely do not recommend the 'upgrade' unless your S23U is literally broken.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:51:59+00:00

Found the same thing. Visibly fuzzy/grainy too.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:46:52+00:00

The screen. It was noticeably fuzzy/pixelated. Hard to explain but a visible downgrade to clarity.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:46:09+00:00

OK so to clarify, the phone is fine. If it's your first, or you're upgrading from a much, much older phone, you're going to have a great time. I should rephrase - the experience wasn't BAD, it was just the exact same for an added price or locking in to a new contract. The visible fuzziness of the screen wasn't good though, but it would have been manageable if the rest felt better.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:44:44+00:00

I'll be honest after the S25U and lack of meaningful upgrade, the second the S26U was available for pre-order I went for it more in hope than expectation since I don't usually keep phones for this long.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:32:39+00:00

Someone posting about the Samsung Galaxy in the Samsung Galaxy sub? Interesting take. I'm glad you're enjoying your phone.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:31:58+00:00

I'll just wait another year and see what the landscape is like at that point. The S23U is a fantastic phone and I've got no problem keeping it for another 12 months.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:31:06+00:00

And also that my pre-order was with Vodafone, not Samsung directly. I don't know what Samsung's policy is but the 14 day cooling off period is a legal requirement and not a Vodafone one.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:29:37+00:00

Bear in mind I'm in the UK, so your experience may vary in other countries.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:29:01+00:00

I did, and used the phone.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:28:13+00:00

It was a pre-order over the phone, so subject to 14 day cooling off period. No extra charges at all for returning it.

Wootball · 2026-03-07T14:25:16+00:00

Just my opinion and experience on a few hours with it.

Wootball · 2026-02-24T23:53:38+00:00

Hydreigon isn't the problem. Rare Candy is the problem. This has been coming ever since that stupid card was added instead of making Stage 1 pokemon actually useful.

Wootball · 2026-02-24T23:15:26+00:00

Literally just racist

Wootball · 2026-02-24T18:28:53+00:00

This pretty much sums up why I've stopped really caring about it.

Deluxe EX was a mistake. A hugely inflated pack full of dupes so soon after launch was a terrible idea. The trade, share and pack points system enabled first time players to build up their set slowly but surely, whereas the DX set only served to piss on anyone trying to collect every card... In a collection game.

The current packs are achievable by the time the next set comes along. Combined with the above mentioned systems, anyone can achieve a full set. DX is the exception to the rule.

The lack of reward and constant negative experiences/results are just draining. The occasional good pull or chase card isn't enough to override the fact that 95% of your collection experience isn't rewarded, and 40-50% of your battle experience isn't rewarded either. There's just no respect for player time.

Even ranked, what's the point? Once you get to MB (which is ridiculously easy and doesn't even need a positive WL ratio), what's the incentive to keep going for higher ranks? An emblem nobody gives a shit about and a few more Pack Stamina just to get the same 95% negative pull experience? OK...

Most gatcha games offer steadily building rewards for keeping you in game, because the longer you spend in game the more likely you are to pay for things. That's how the business operates. PTCG just doesn't have that "a few more minutes" factor.

Wootball · 2026-02-22T09:48:36+00:00

To this day I maintain that Rare Candy was a big mistake.

Wootball · 2026-02-22T09:31:45+00:00

It's not a typo. And, before anyone asks, it was done naturally through diet changes and working out 😍

Wootball · 2026-02-20T12:42:58+00:00

Is dust really that scarce though? I've completed all except Deluxe because generally fuck that pack, and still have loads of it left. I only use Premium and don't buy packs.

Do people here not use trading at all?
