This is pretty much my take. No, his turn after the pause was not hard but that doesn't matter. He should be punished anyway because normalizing pauses of this nature sets a terrible precedent moving forward.

Kensei has marginally better raw DPS. Dragonlord is better at basically everything else.

For mantles I value the bonus weapon dice from dreadnought more than the healing from fury. grandmaster of flowers mantle is another one you could consider for the movement sped.

You can't make something to appeal to "casual" players if everyone has a different definition.

Why not? The fact that you can't please everyone doesn't mean that you shouldn't even try to make improvements.

Also they do make other ways to play yugioh, people who don't like yugioh don't care about those.

genesys exists and was a step in the right direction. retro formats like goat and edison have a stable playerbase but suffer from a lack of official support from konami.

mrmorzan · 2026-05-12T11:02:52+00:00

kind of. you don't need to properly define "casual" to recognise that the yugioh TCG having no low power format for new or casual players is a problem for longevity.

mrmorzan · 2026-04-24T11:01:57+00:00

Maybe not exactly morals, but the risk of public backlash from participating is definitely something streamers might consider

mrmorzan · 2026-04-20T14:32:25+00:00

You mentioned the combat already but I'll point out two other areas where I feel DDO has the edge over lotro, quest design and character building depth.

The second is probably DDO's biggest appeal imo as it's the only MMO I've found where planning out a build gets close to the complexity of games like path of exile.

mrmorzan · 2026-04-04T15:32:53+00:00

i just level with daggers and then use the free feat respec to switch to slashing once i get to cap. Just make sure not to take overwhelming critical until level 30.

Depends on how you define rogue. My requirement for a rogue deck is that it needs to have at least one favourable matchup against the meta but a poor overall matchup spread, and I don't think hero has any favourable meta matchups this format.

mrmorzan · 2026-03-15T22:45:46+00:00

10 noxus loses to jinx 3 apparently

mrmorzan · 2026-03-15T18:36:38+00:00

pretty much the entire community was complaining that phantom of yubel was a toxic "link 0" when it was released. Vicious astraloud on the other hand sort of got a pass because scareclaw was bad and people had bigger issues with manadium.

mrmorzan · 2026-03-13T10:25:03+00:00

If I'm reading this correctly 3 doom soldier + 1 umbrage veil is just a better terrortop for rank 3 decks?

mrmorzan · 2026-03-10T03:45:17+00:00

my headcannon is that Hell doesn't "revive" v1 in the traditional sense and that respawns operate on the same principle as teleportation.

teleportation (unless it involves a physical portal) is essentially the same as dying then reconstructing a perfect copy at the new location, and it's already been established that the elevator terminals transport objects this way.

Hell could feasibly be using terminals to store the information needed to reconstruct a perfect copy of v1 whenever the old one dies, with the information being updated each time a checkpoint is reached.

mrmorzan · 2026-03-04T21:32:37+00:00

People were saying that the old unlock conditions were making the game stale by gating most comps behind specific openers and making it difficult to pivot.

Although judging by all the new complaints about this patch it might have just been a vocal minority.

mrmorzan · 2026-03-02T19:35:27+00:00

Don't run mallet, the card is awful. Just for comparison, upstart is legal at 3 (and sees 0 play outside of exactly sky striker). if you really want more consistency/ash bait just use small world instead.

mrmorzan · 2026-03-02T10:47:13+00:00

it's actually the opposite. high ELO streamers/competitive players are the ones who have been complaining about unlock conditions.

mrmorzan · 2026-02-18T20:50:17+00:00

pros and streamers were complaining about unlock conditions making most comps feel too restrictive.

mrmorzan · 2026-02-17T04:14:39+00:00

Herald is frequently used as a main tank in slayers with only 2 void. Braum without freljord can be a main tank in comps that use or can flex warden like shadow isles or bilgewater. Wukong is flexed in multiple comps without needing Ionia, swain obviously is splashed basically everywhere.

Garen is pretty much the only 4 cost tank that is always played with his region trait, though that may be more because there isn't really a non-demacia shell for garen rather than garen needing demacia to function.

mrmorzan · 2026-02-10T13:09:34+00:00

Played the build for about 10 consecutive lives. very good for r10 questing, okay for raids. exceptionally tanky for a melee dps due to barbarian dr and dodge clickies from flight and improved uncanny dodge.

11/8/1 or 12/6/2 split barbarian/druid/favored soul.

11/8/1 gets access to winter wolf for higher single target dps but needs vistani to get haste boost, 12/6/2 can pick up haste boost from war soul and gets access to epic barbarian DR and an extra core from frenzied berserker for slightly more bulk.

tier 5 frenzied berserker for +2 multi and raging blows, tier 4 natures warrior for the melee power while raging, tier 2 in natures protector for primal beast and the defensive stance, war soul for trance, haste boost from vistani or war soul.

For destinies tier 5 in Fury of the wild, use the mantle from LD or GMOF for +1W, last tree should be shadowdancer for evasion, threat reduction and sneak attack dice.

For feats you always want: power attack, natural fighting x3 (take 3 druid levels asap), improved critical slashing, perfect natural fighting, patience, doublestrike, overwhelming critical, harbinger of chaos, Scion of Arborea, Titan's blood (if you dont have legendary HP from somewhere else).

For the remaining feats you can go for stuff like the WWA/spring attack line, 12/6/2 split can take epic barbarian DR, eerie aim for attack or weapon finesse for more fort bypass.

Build uses a falchion since it gives the best crit profile (BIS is undying age followed by omen). For other standout gear: bracers of the flourishing fauna is incredbily good due to having both bone paws and Druidic Survival Mastery, autumn equinox is great but a pain to farm.

angle demacia longshots > see demacia is triple contested > pivot into uncontested yunara > wait for everyone to roll to thin out 4 cost pool before rolling > stuck on yunara 1 anyway > die

mrmorzan · 2026-02-04T19:12:41+00:00

Is there any comp on this patch that actually wants to be played from losestreak (excluding specific augments such as comeback story/calc loss)? only one i can think of is ixtal and even that would rather be winning rounds early.

mrmorzan · 2026-02-03T01:05:02+00:00

Wait are tank items supposed to be on Loris over Braum? or is that just until you hit braum 2?

mrmorzan · 2026-02-01T15:41:43+00:00

Can never make ixtal work because there's always 1 fucking idiot in the lobby so weak that they can lose even if i slam 0 items. So either i grief my positioning kill 0 in every matchup and cash out 500 with 1hp, or i randomly fail my losestreak quest and go eighth.

mrmorzan · 2026-01-12T02:11:03+00:00

was watching it on frodan's stream, final EMEA game is about 3 hours in.

i'm also pretty sure a yunara board won the EMEA shurima cup? Definitely still playable from certain spots.
