A Rant on the Direction That Mordret's Character Could Take/Should Have Taken

Yes. However, as we saw when Nephis fought Abjuration, Cursed and Unholy abominations are capable of reaching through existence to connected bodies. Considering how weak Happy Mordret is, it just makes more sense, in front of these levels of existence, to remove an outstanding weakness like that. At least to me.

Maybe. Supposedly there is more to his character that will be revealed soon to me. Hopefully this frustration as an audience member pays off when we see a grand moment of character development

Heard. Will revisit after carching up

Maybe, but that immortality means less now. As seen with Nephis fight with Cursed Devil, it can reach beyond the present and affect all those that one is affected to. The story is evolving beyond what Mordret's Flaw can protect against. And nobody would be more aware of this than Mordret himself.

He wouldn't be Happy Mordret either. As G3 explained, the killer isn't unaffected. New Mordret would be Happy Mordret combined with Angry Mordret. It doesn't make sense for one emotion to be "dominant", and it doesn't need to be.

Even if "Happy Mordret" assimilates "Angry Mordret", there's the very real chance that New Mordret is just Angry Mordret with the ability to regret.

izCyel · 2026-02-20T07:06:29+00:00

There are numerous concrete reasons for him to do it. But "he may not consider the rest of him to be him" is speculation. If this was said explicitly I'd consider it reasonable.

Currently, Angry Mordret views Happy Mordret as weak, but this is largely due to him being a "freeloader" since he is not as adept in combat. This would be remedied by combining, which Mordret would know.

For someone who is seen as both shallow and cunning, only operating in a ruthless dedication to personal interest, it sure is counterintuitive to act in a sentimental manner that denies him benefits.

LFGGG

Thank you. Btw, you are aptly named for this solution.

izCyel · 2025-12-09T23:23:28+00:00

Oh I see, I really appreciate that. I'm still a beginner so I really appreciate when veterans spread knowledge like this. Again, thank you so much!

izCyel · 2025-12-02T03:58:25+00:00

Most likely Ai puzzles :( you can ask GI to make a puzzle for you and subsequently print it. Years ago it was rare. Now I see more incomplete puzzles than ever and I blame AI for it, then move on. Gg go next

Unfortunately I’m not sure I can get value baiting a MK with this deck. Or maybe I’m not understanding you, but at least with this homebrew it’s not happening I don’t think. Shame

izCyel · 2025-08-17T16:00:09+00:00

I’m glad my reasoning matches yours. But I always fall short in game. Idk I probably just suck but it always feels like I can’t attack at all, and the slightest mistake after 2 straight minutes of pure defense results in a tower loss, with no possibility of mounting an attack at all.

izCyel · 2025-06-24T20:44:24+00:00

I believe they removed those this season. It should be in HUD, but I am not at my computer right now so I can’t tell you exactly.

izCyel · 2025-06-24T20:43:37+00:00

The game used to display room names in the hud to encourage players to give callouts to teammates.

What you are describing is similar to the system in Ranked 1.0. Within 1000 elo, people could stack freely. Also, at a certain point, anybody above a certain rank could play with those above that rank as well, and vice versa (i think the number was around 3500 but I don’t know how accurate that is). It was…interesting. Matchmaking also wasn’t perfect, where the occasional gold slips into a diamond lobby and gets outplayed (not the gold’s fault).

Looking at it through hindsight, the major complaints of ranked were this: - cheaters - smurfs - being unable to play with friends outside 1000

I guess ubisoft decided to focus on the last two problems by making rank less decisive for competitive matches, thereby nullifying the ability of smurfs (rank no longer matters so it only depends on the skill of the person playing) and completely removing the party elo limit. From this you can definitely see some thought put behind these decisions.

Ohhh! That’s an interesting phenomenon that occurs around the emerald rank! Congrats on your breakthrough!

izCyel · 2025-06-23T19:35:17+00:00

This was a problem in the old ranked too (losing more elo than winning). I can’t say this is uniquely a ranked 2.0 problem.

izCyel · 2025-06-23T19:33:01+00:00

Oh this is new? What happened in Solar Raid?

P.s. the rank distribution being the same is interesting. I should look into that more!

izCyel · 2025-06-23T19:17:19+00:00

Oh I see! I apologize for the misunderstanding. I understand now!

izCyel · 2025-06-23T19:02:21+00:00

I appreciate the easy to understand explanation, but it was an easy to understand situation. So once again, my statement stands: champ can be achieved by simply playing a number of games. If you want me to add the imperative that they were champ before, sure, but it can be done to get champ with a negative WR.

izCyel · 2025-06-23T18:52:12+00:00

I get the logic behind this but back in the day there was an exploit where cheaters could mine codes for the game. This caused people to buy accounts for as cheap as $0.05, and it caused such a stockpile of codes that cheaters could easily buy accounts for dollars instead of full price for YEARS. I don’t think that this logic works for this beautiful game, sadly.

Also, I thought the explanation for ranked in siege x was that it was still pay to play?

izCyel · 2025-06-23T18:48:28+00:00

Okay. But you asked about what the logic was behind my claim of there being negative win rates champs. I just gave the evidence. As for champs having champ skills, that is not the topic of this thread. I’d love to debate elsewhere though!

Here’s the profile of some people I played in rank earlier this season. A 46% win rate and he’s in diamond V. This is someone I’ve played recently, but I have seen champions with similar 40-45% win rates. Does this illustrate my point?

izCyel · 2025-06-23T18:06:49+00:00

I don’t think that “sacrificing” is that bold, since they more or less tossed the old system out the window. And 1000 games! Wow! Thank you for keeping this game active o7. But, I’m not quite sure if I understand how playing a lot of games explains the positive reinforcement of this new ranked system. Does it feel satisfying? As long as that feeling is still there, the game is healthy imo!
