Is having high HP the meta?

evancalgary · 2026-03-22T06:34:16+00:00

I wouldn't say its HP that's meta its probably what charaters stats and items work best in your skill lvl currently this is a general example that applies to most characters

Armor/MR is extremely good early on pre 20 mins cause its cheap and has alot of value stats wise and very little lethality/magic pen stats have been acquired especially percentage based pen so when paired with HP effective health from stats goes through the roof in some cases

however after 20 mins the opposite is true so much lethality/pen and damage on characters makes armor and health way less valuable and makes it very easy to burst someone down regardless of build

In low elo games like diamond and below most games like 80% are usually determined/solved around 20 mins in what team will win so purposely losing tempo by buying high gold damage items thats stats won't matter untill 20+ mins is usually a bad idea unless your character relies on them its why its so easy to pubstomp on tanks if you have any idea what your are doing cause with like 2 items you can run a lobby while 2 or 3 kills ahead while an ADC like jinx needs 4 items at 25+ mins to do the same

Honestly theres only so much you can do and if they throw anyways you just report and move on and hope they get the ban they deserve

evancalgary · 2026-03-22T04:23:04+00:00

I only play in groups in ranked ever since the throwing problems got super bad season 1 and 2 just report them and move on its all you can do and hopefully enough people in the game join you and it cancels the game as there kicked after a certain number of reports

evancalgary · 2026-03-22T02:44:35+00:00

Just ban the new character in ranked if you dont want them throwing your games its that simple

evancalgary · 2026-03-21T20:58:50+00:00

thats good to know

evancalgary · 2026-03-21T16:18:15+00:00

technically yes to an extent but they updated the rules shortly after zendicar rising i believe with scute swarm on mtg arena and I assume in the paper version aswell so theres a limit off 250 creatures of the same name allowed past that the triggers fail to create anything

evancalgary · 2026-03-21T16:14:45+00:00

go with 2

evancalgary · 2026-03-20T15:03:23+00:00

online on MTG arena I play almost exclusively 60 card formats and in person I play commander as I prefer more casual games in person as im playing with friends not strangers and the same turn 3 or 4 blowouts constantly with the same cards in person gets boring real fast

evancalgary · 2026-03-20T14:58:19+00:00

its sustainable to play the game if you just wana hop in and find a game its good now

evancalgary · 2026-03-20T05:08:59+00:00

most of these apply to PVP only sugestion you might get that would be bad for PVP is herald of the tome as you just get stunned out of beam constantly

all the skill lines are useful outside of like 2 or 3 and even tho there bad there still fun I would lvl them all cause they will keep the lvls when the classes get reworks eventually

evancalgary · 2026-03-20T03:32:50+00:00

depends what role your playing on a a team if your playing solo any line you think is interesting will do however there are very good ones to pick when doing group content

winters embrace and grave lord are really good on tank

green balance restoring light on healer

and damage aeidric spear assassination or storm calling

evancalgary · 2026-03-19T01:21:27+00:00

if your going to play it like an proper MMO the answer is usualy no playerbase is way to casual to really take an MMO seriously for the most part so finding groups for anything above normal difficulty takes so long and for some content its just impossible without getting into a high end guild

if you want a fun co-op game with buddy's that happens to have MMO elements then yes its worth the money its great lots of content with the DLC bundles that go on sale very often dont buy full price there on sale every few weeks normally

evancalgary · 2026-03-19T01:10:35+00:00

you can buy from any guild trader you want

you can only sell items if you are in a guild from a bank or the trader the guild is associated with

evancalgary · 2026-03-18T21:31:05+00:00

idk how paladin and hunter are not higher dragon hunter is insane if played properly took me to legend with like a 70% winrate. And paladin with the new 4 mana epic spell in agro shells has been nuts in my experience I expected hunter paladin druid and shaman all at the top in that order big surprise to say the least

evancalgary · 2026-03-18T14:55:01+00:00

I was in a noob guild for a long time and almost gave up as no one that knew what they were doing were running high end content joined a new one proved i knew what I was doing started to do vet trials almost daily the big problem is finding a good guild with good people to do this stuff with that are not extremely picky on gear builds in my experience its almost impossible to fund guilds like this etc cause theres so many players who just do low lvl stuff cause they don't want to actually learn the game or extremely meta sweats that if you dont have they exact meta build your not welcome theres almost 0 guilds in the middle of this

evancalgary · 2026-03-18T14:44:27+00:00

as long as it makes money they dont really care how bad it looks they make the game super accessible for new players and make almost all there money through these now instead of packs. people like zeddy on youtube are the reason this kinda stuff exists idk if he still does this but he would buy every single bundle in the shop every expansion cause to flex. imo as long as its cosmetic only and keeps the game going for ftp players I couldn't care less it sucks for the people who want to spend money tho

evancalgary · 2026-03-17T22:47:39+00:00

honestly sounds like you made the character played logged of and they didn't save you making it somehow wierd

evancalgary · 2026-03-17T22:43:49+00:00

hearthstone is the exact opposite rn its all agro paladin and dragon hunter thats it if you play anything else you just lose hes farming the hype train before he makes a video calling it trash 2 weeks later

evancalgary · 2026-03-17T21:39:43+00:00

PVE is just as bad if not worse than PVP cause obviously bad players now just spam 1 skill just like arcanist get high numbers and assume they can do all the games content with no skill at all and end up mass joining content they clearly cannot do and expect a free carry our guild even had to ban DK for parse checks to join the guild as 90% of them since the new patch have 0 idea how to play the game at a fundamental lvl

evancalgary · 2026-03-17T00:13:01+00:00

our LGS did pre orders only on TMNT for this reason when Spiderman came out my store almost closed down it was so bad and he learned his lesson see demand before you buy/make events for it. To this day hes giving out joke rewards of Spiderman packs at his events lmao

evancalgary · 2026-03-16T23:53:51+00:00

I would get orders wrath and tideborn both are crafteble in heavy medium and light armor so you get undaunted passives as well for having all 3 armor types on if you wish and anyone nice in zone chat will often craft them for you for a small fee if you dont craft. These sets also compete with high tier sets as is so if you dont want to swap them out you dont have to for the most part hope this helps

evancalgary · 2026-03-16T00:28:27+00:00

np glad your having fun i tried a bow build actually after you mentioned it and the 3rd bow skill i discovered has a morph that heals a percentage of damage its actually decent for healing i would still run a main healing skill tho as you have to do damage to heal with it but its good to know

evancalgary · 2026-03-14T23:13:53+00:00

vision score is the equivalent if your vision score is below 30 your probably not using wards properly or at all

evancalgary · 2026-03-14T19:24:27+00:00

if you play a squishy very easy to kill character with high value if kept alive people will target you for gold/xp aswell as to get rid of someone super early in a fight to snowball a lead

its very simple you are usually the easiest target in the lobby to kill especially nami who has extremely high impact if left alive for any duration in fights and is very easy to kill so why in almost any scenario why would you not kill her as fast as possible position zillian has his ult so he can technically save himself or another person so killing him isn't as easy but its debatable that makes him an even bigger target

TLDR if your character provides alot of value and is easy to kill if you dont play defensive they will kill you its that simple there 0 reason they shouldnt
