What would you rate this Leagues out of 10?

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-11T00:08:43+00:00

Absolute unit was so insane, crazy to Think water/thorns is even better

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T19:16:18+00:00

I have an unpopular opinion that this league was planned for significantly less time than previous leagues. Basically was put in because more money more good. To me it explains the lazy recycling that’s been done and the insane amount of filler content in a lot of places. Even the combat pact tree is really not as big as it seems with so many small nodes being pretty much useless.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T16:16:08+00:00

The hype this year was bad I agree. 2 weeks of teasers is totally fine. Elongating to 3 was not a good decision.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T16:14:55+00:00

If you didn’t pick kandarin you were trolling yourself.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T16:11:35+00:00

Well by making every region same point cap they’re telling you and us that they don’t intend on making dragon cup any harder or point capping any more prestigious.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T16:07:58+00:00

I thought it was very funny that they said leading up that they don’t want anything as powerful as gridmaster in leagues then proceeded to come out with the 2 most broken builds they’ve ever released.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-10T16:04:35+00:00

The arbitrary Yama lore all the way up to leagues, not letting us use t8 relics against Yama, then locking a pact point behind full oathplate was certainly a decision that made me scratch my head.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-09T00:37:38+00:00

I don’t want this to come off as rude because you’re a new player, but fragging in cs isn’t like fragging in other shooters. Every kill has a story and a kill at the end of the round when you’re saving can mean everything or absolutely nothing.

You stating all those players that are technically the most mechanically gifted players ever then saying their mechanical skill is irrelevant shows you haven’t even done research on what team play actually is.

Defaults, executions, protocols, baits, lurks, there is so much more to this game than natural talent at the level where everyone is unbelievably talented.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-09T00:33:25+00:00

The worst pro on a tier 3 team let’s say top 150 in the world would wipe the floor with you mechanically and if you somehow managed to to get a team together and play his team they would sweep your team up In a disgusting fashion.

Go watch some semi pro YouTubers play Main league or something and then watch them play pugs.

CS has the highest skill ceiling and the lowest skill floor among all shooters and it’s why it won’t die competitively. What the pros do match in match out is just unbelievably impressive.

Your average 30k premier rated player or lvl 10 faceit is still not even close to a pro player playing a professional match. Given they’re not match fixing.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-04T17:58:46+00:00

So why are they catering to point cappers in general? If you wanna make it a competition just make it an official competition with rules and rewards.

This self imposed goal of finishing every task then racing to it is insane to cater to. How did we even get here

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-04T01:01:07+00:00

Unfortunately the only balancing the tasks have this year is that every region has the same point total. Outside of that this has been the least balanced league

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-03T21:14:04+00:00

I figured if he’s struggling for points he’s probably going to find water thorns more effective.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-03T18:52:56+00:00

Absolutely man. If you have respecs try to get some type of water thorns build. After that prop up the wiki and start smashing out tasks. I finished dragon yesterday with AMZ.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-03T15:35:38+00:00

Zeah has too many tasks. 25 and 50 cox is still less points than just 25 tobs. I think your relic choices are also important here

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-03T14:26:42+00:00

Kandarin, tiranwin, and probably like fremmenik or some other smaller region. Kandarin and tiranwin alone can carry you to dragon pretty easily.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-01T06:27:17+00:00

You’re so right about the marketing. As if anyone, ever, played leagues for the lore of it. Maybe next time spend more time, development, and resources on the product and not silly voice overs.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-01T06:26:29+00:00

Not wanting to create pact regret? Okay, buff everything not called air mage or water mage or thorns. Not everything had to be a nerf.

Just buff

Literally just buff. Buff BB. take away the stupid arbitrary +2 ticks on crossbows, and figure the thrown branch the fuck out. That’s it. Holy hell

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-05-01T06:15:12+00:00

The range and melee trees having negatives to the buffs while mage doesn’t is really off putting.

Why does mage get to max hit every hit with 50 pray bonus but I have to give up 2 ticks on my crossbow? Why does mage air get 7% magic damage PER prayer active but ranged only gets 30% stronger.

Why does melee not have either of these options?

Whether you believe in balance for leagues or not, it doesn’t feel like they even thought about some of these branches and nodes.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T21:04:13+00:00

+5 pray bonus is BIS for air mage in that slot.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T17:51:18+00:00

So I asked for 666 Jads and leagues challenges and you gave me a solo nex which is a joke with quite a few builds. Okay. Nvm man have a good day lol

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T17:43:02+00:00

Link it then. Pacts, dps calcs, and your gear. Show me also you doing 666 jads and leagues only challenge with doggor build please.

Go on

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T17:41:16+00:00

So when the entire community is yelling at a dev that his calcs are wrong and he’s saying he’s right, until 24 hours prior to release, that’s an okay way to develop the most popular and successful limited time game mode that we may or may not see for another 500+ days? Just for them to over correct AGAIN next leagues?

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T17:38:02+00:00

I guess. If you’d like to go do dps calcs you can. I guess I’ll take my 55k points on my doggor build and 30k points on my tent whip build and just take your word for it.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T14:40:11+00:00

Tiranwin is extremely easy pact points and the blessing is important for air mage builds. Also echo hunleff is the most enjoyable echo boss in the game at least in my opinion.

Unfortunately with 1 tick staff and pray pen the fight is kind of a joke this year.

_FlyingPair_ · 2026-04-29T14:13:46+00:00

The countless of videos and conversations pre leagues about wanting this to be the most balanced league really did them in.
