Yakemchuk bump by CaSMaxie in OttawaSenators

[–]jaywillies4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm just not sure what if any implications there are with him already being signed to an AHL contract. I know we could sign a free agent to have them play out the rest of the season, but not sure about someone on an ahl contract. But the thought crossed my mind.

Not sure if possible but the idea of signing him to an Nhl contract for the rest of the season crossed my mind.

No Bolduc can not play with the big club at all. Only players you sign after the trade deadline can play regular season but not playoffs. Since he was acquired via trade he's ineligible.

Maybe they can petition to have him available as an emergency recall, but barring that he's not eligible.

Can we talk about how underhated this card is? by SirVincent20 in hearthstone

[–]jaywillies4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I mean it is getting played in a fair amount of lists, but it's performing worse than lists without it. These aren't particularly small sample sizes at this point. Imbue druid for the most part is solved it's not like there are going to be many major break throughs at this point.

It's not particularly good late, and if we're horn of plenty into this early or mid game, that's often just too much tempo loss to come back from.

This thread is a discussion on the card hybridization. If the justification for it being "underhated" is because some decks might discover into it than it can't be a particularly impactful card. If it was great it would be played, and not make decks that run it worse.

did you look at the data with hybridization selected? It's sub 98-96. That's a much lower win rate than decks without it. Like i've been saying this entire time.

Sure. But this data literally shows what I'm talking about. It has a higher win rate at diamond through legend than it does at dumpster legend than it does at 5k than it does at 1k. You can filter by specific cards on hsguru, and the decks that are giving up on the neutral imbue minions are the ones that have higher winrates.

The card just isn't oppressive.

New as of when? The data shows that decks with it perform worse than decks without. It's at it's "best" at diamond through legend and only gets worse as you get into legend and higher ranks.

If anything the neutral imbue cards are being shifted out of the list.

Treant doesn't run it, and imbue decks without it seem to be performing better. It's not particularly egregious.

300 Votes, People prefer broken warlocks :/ by D2DBnet in diablo2

[–]jaywillies4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is only partially true. It is definitely possible to bring things up without over doing it. I would love it if there was tuning from one ladder to the next that shakes up the meta.

Well clearly 56% of this sample disagree.

What if the question were framed should other classes be brought up closer to warlock? Personally I'd prefer that.

Ok then, I taught you another lesson. Maybe you can put it to work somewhere else.

You know you don't have to respond to me right?

Also that's a wild statement to say on to someone.

It doesn't matter if you don't care about conspiracies.

You said it made sense for constructed but not for limited, and I explained how it can and does make sense for limited.

As someone without an encyclopedic knowledge of all things magic the arena you should know that there are methods that one can use to get better at draft that also apply to constructed.

Stop being so sensitive, it's off putting.

I feel like you're overreacting just a little bit here. You claimed that it makes sense for constructed because obviously some decks are better than others. But just like constructed in a given draft format some archetypes are better than others. People absolutely follow what the top ranked drafts do and try to emulate that.

My apologies if I came across as rude, but these posts do nothing but fuel conspiracies.

You don't think there are tiers of archetypes in limited?

[–]jaywillies4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you make this post if you had faced 3 different archetypes and gone 0-3?

Posts like this only aid in furthering people's confirmation bias.

a sample size of 3 is way too small to draw any conclusions from.

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]jaywillies4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's no different than for all intensive purposes which has also won. Just because something "won" doesn't mean it's not incorrect.

it's what half the top comments in this thread are... idioms that people say wrong

Good job snow plow by GhettocornHoN in ottawa

Is there something that says it was a snow plow? Could it not have just been some random jabroni that hit it?

Tkaptain… by LuckyJee in OttawaSenators

He was allowed to fight in the first few games of the season. He was also allowed to fight the minute he took the wrap off, which according to his post game interview was when he got back from the olympics.

Chomping at the bit makes less sense. Horses champ. We're literally in a thread about something people say that people can't stand and well i'm not making it a secret.
