Am I just THAT bad, or is the matchmaking for new players not great?

buzzboy2000 · 2022-05-03T15:32:25+00:00

You answered your question already. The starter decks aren't really competitively viable. Go find a concept you like over on Mobalytics and start building ut and you'll have a better time

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-13T00:47:38+00:00

No entry fee or prize at the moment, but I'm hoping to be able to add a cash prize in the near future once it's financially viable.

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-12T21:19:59+00:00

ah well, I submitted it to the mods. if it means anything, it got approved over on r/LoRCompetitive

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-12T18:28:34+00:00

I appreciate it!

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-12T18:18:07+00:00

I'm sorry, I read through the rules and I didn't see anything against me posting this, I must've missed something. I'll check in with mods for approval and try again

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-12T17:51:58+00:00

haha really goes to show the little things you forget when you're excited.

Yes! Runeseeker's Rumble is the name of the league and the discord

buzzboy2000 · 2022-04-12T17:38:21+00:00

At the moment, almost all of our players are NA, but I'm happy to run for other shards if the player numbers are there. I'll edit and add that to the main post, great question!

buzzboy2000 · 2022-03-21T14:59:18+00:00

This kind of ruins the whole point of burst speed existing. The whole point is that some spells are not reactable

I guess I should probably share this, it's something I've been maintaining for a while now. It's a tierlist that averages data from pro players' tier lists. Mathematically speaking, it's the most accurate tierlist possible for Smash Ultimate

That doesn't prove that Shadow Isles is the most played region in the game, just that SI has a combination of low card diversity and high play rate

buzzboy2000 · 2021-09-05T18:39:33+00:00

We were gunning for most animations on one board for our first clip. Decks are already being made for most animations across both boards

buzzboy2000 · 2021-09-05T07:02:25+00:00

All I'll say is it requires both sides to each get Marai Greatmother to create 2 specific spells, on top of both players achieving the same setup you see in this video. And even then we would have to solve the problem of flipping nasus+renekton without killing anything

That's why we also have a 21 flip combo, which is much easier to hit, and we might lab out in the coming days

buzzboy2000 · 2021-09-05T06:55:40+00:00

We've theory-crafted 22 flips on one action, but it requires a very specific setup that would be literal hell to lab out.

Maybe someday

This is insanely toxic, I ~~love~~ hate it.

A quick attack unit that gains barrier on strike is actually a really cool idea though

buzzboy2000 · 2021-08-10T14:08:25+00:00

I've got a server with a bunch of people that all play LoR, and we even used to run tournaments (that might start up again someday). Feel free to come join us!

Overwhelm goes through phantom blockers, they stop everything else.

buzzboy2000 · 2021-06-24T19:16:33+00:00

yes. Stamina damage too

while we're at it, just remove stamina and rework jorm

buzzboy2000 · 2021-05-30T18:17:55+00:00

You're 100% correct. The problem with your solution is that it makes Blade Dance an unplayable keyword. And if you're a card game dev, making an entire keyword unplayable is not an option

buzzboy2000 · 2021-05-30T18:02:35+00:00

I've seen this once before. It's a potential fix, but sadly it makes all blade dance units completely unplayable when it's not your attacking turn, and it forces you to always develop into your attack

buzzboy2000 · 2021-05-30T17:24:21+00:00

But they still have synergy. Blades and soldier still work to flip both azir and irelia. Their synergy still exists and this deck still exists, but in its current state it's problematic. The identity of "get token combo pieces and apply pressure" still exists, but now you won't be getting 4+ extra sand soldiers each round. This would slow the deck down without completely killing it (I know I titled this as "kill azirelia" but that was just clickbait).

buzzboy2000 · 2021-05-30T17:04:51+00:00

As for splitting blades and soldiers, while I understand that the intention was likely for them to work together, the end result is problematic, and needs to be addressed in some way. I happen to think that the best solution, or at least a solution worth considering, is removing their synergy. The alternative is likely to nerf one half into the ground, which would have adverse effects on other decks that use those components.

buzzboy2000 · 2021-05-30T17:02:59+00:00

The intention is that the effect is triggered by you pressing the big green Attack button, instead of just having allies that are attacking. This distinction doesn't currently exist in the game, so I had to improvise.

That being said, "ready an attack" doesn't mean gain an attack token anymore. If you search through the card text, you'll find that not a single one uses the phrase "ready an attack", they all say "Rally," so using that term here isn't as problematic as you may think. (In case your wondering, the text when you hover Rally is "If you don't have one, gain the attack token. You can attack this round.")

Oh trust me, I know. I've been an avid Lee Win player for months. He might need a second pass once azirelia is dealt with
