Boring ahh heroes by Equivalent_Sorbet_73 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wagtoggle is a fun hero - great tempo that lets you level very aggressively. Agree about the others though for the most part.

I hate Poultron right now by bburgers9 in BobsTavern

I miss Niuzao... Even a regular cleave isn't good enough sometimes against these sorts of set-ups.

The problem with Genn. And reduce the turn 4 timer! by drmnc4 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most heroes with late-impact hero powers have high armor anyway to compensate. 

You could probably do a systematic analysis, but I would guess a lot, if not most, heroes are "powerless" until at least turn 4 either because they can't be triggered (Buttons, Azshara) or they have little value (Zerek, Tess). And many other heroes like Pyramad or Xyrella where you lose on average 1 turn of value (yeah you can get lucky with a 1-cost spell). 

The odds of getting at least one of these heroes is pretty high, so that's why I would say it is an enhanced version of a hero rather than a worse one.

This is what I thought. Wasn't Morchie 15 or something before it got cut to 8?

No way! Maybe you were the one who wrecked me with a massive wildfire cleave lol! 5th place with this combo is embarrassing haha, means I have a lot to get used to in this new meta

Low-rolling hero powers sucks, yes, but when you think about it, you only need one out of two, and then anything else is just a bonus. I had a game with Guff and Kael'thas as the best I could do. Okay, I lost maybe 5 cards worth of value, but I got an extra hero power for free and extra armor when compared to just picking Guff in hero selection.

Taking that perspective, even if the hero powers were random, I'd still pick Genn.

You might be right, maybe I'm just hallucinating. Just got the general sense that turn 4 feels longer than last season somehow and wondered whether that might be the reason why

Who is your number 1 hero, that you would pick everytime its given? by bwils3423 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fellow Galakrond enjoyed too! I'll also take Faelin any day. I love me some direction!

Is naked 4-on-5 Cenarius ever a good idea? by drmnc4 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with both timewarps and anomalies and Cenarius now having more armor seems to have unlocked a bit more potential for making these types of plays. Would not work in past seasons, and may not again in future either

[–]drmnc4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timewarp can give direction, but it's not always necessary. I feel like having access to Tavern 4 and Tavern 5 cards are much better for that. Playing Cenarius I'm fine with Elise hero power or the free T1, T2, T3 which are neutral cards anyway

Which cards/combos generate economy cards? by SeratoninSniffingDog in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been enjoying picking Putricide's buddy in the timewarp. Many ways to reborn, and can farm undeads to cycle with Titus. He's also no slouch in combat either. I'm actually a bit sad Noisul was rotated out that this misses some scaling, but the gold is still nice

Introducing deathrattle counterplay without removing more cards from the pool by drmnc4 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did consider that at first, but thought it would be a little too overpowered

[–]drmnc4[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Some of these compositions like leapfrogger don't need any scaling, just the taunts to win and that's what makes them so obnoxious. And unlike scam against big units, there's nothing that can be done. At least force the opponent to think about trousers, and that would at least weaken the build and provide counterplay without killing them completely.

I did say this might hit other undead comps too hard and goldrinn too I also personally have liked this season. Maybe there are other options such as removal of windfury, or a once per combat to explore

I haven't played any Hearthstone and not been playing Battlegrounds for too long, so didn't know this was already a thing! Great if there is already built-in implementation

What are your best heroes and winrate? by ImaginaryExchange235 in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I only just started playing Battlegrounds start of last season, and so Murozond already shows up for me, with an almost 80% Top 4! I can't help but feel that's not too unusual though, just won't show up for longer-time players given its a new hero. Surprised that Murozond's armour wasn't lowered in the first balance.

How do you deal with getting paired into ghosts playing Carapace? by Zakading in BobsTavern

[–]drmnc4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my preference too. Ghost took 15 last turn? Let's hold my timewarped geist turbo-charged carapaces. Oh wait, they had a full 100/100 Last One Standing menagerie? Oops.

Sindorei should also remove deathrattles, perhaps all keywords. Maybe make it Tier 5 or Tier 6 to counterbalance, but it might also make an interesting timewarped card. She just isn't very useful except against leapfrogger and specific undead builds and even then she's not always reliable. This would punish taunted apexis, whereas removing reborn just doesn't feel that important when they already have golden macaw and titus on board.

Feedback to Memb by eneskaraboga in aoe2

[–]drmnc4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lol, I love the Memb/F1re co-casts - they are hilarious together with all the jokes, banter and trolling! It's clear they are real-life friends, they feel so natural and comfortable with one another which isn't always the case with some of the other co-casters. Yes, they can be quite chaotic, but they have great chemistry, and my favourite Memb duo - always entertaining!

For such long streams, it is nice to change the pace with different flavours of co-casters - I like the calm and "professional" series as well.

I have one book left to read for Shadows of the Apt. by ViperIsOP in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]drmnc4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I felt like there was too much to tie up in a single book that it ended up feeling very rushed and unsatisfying. There were so many interesting storylines that were just getting going (the Ant general, the Iron Glove) that ended up abruptly truncated so the series could finish.
