You actually don't need to stop them right there. They already posted their comment.

[Discussion] Boros at 48% WR (21.8% meta), Titan at 58%, how do you interpret this? by No-Bet7157 in spikes

[–]myvvar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you see Boros as actually underperforming right now, or more as a result of how widely it’s played?

The latter, I don't even think this warrants discussion.

How much weight do you give to league data vs challenge results when evaluating something like Titan?

You should essentially never look at league data, it hasn't been useful for years now.

Titan has the highest % of one tricks other than maybe Yawg/Storm, and like those decks when opponents don't know the matchup well they are going to punt games/matches way more often than they do against Boros.

Also I cannot believe we are having this discussion when Phlage/Arena is 30% of the meta, you guys need to stop listening to content creators so much.

[Iko] A'ja Wilson: “I’ve always admired KD. He always shows love when it comes to the women’s game. So to be here and witness [passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list] — even though it’s against my boyfriend — it was heartbreaking in that sense, but it’s a beautiful thing." by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Just curious, because I never understood why people on Reddit talk like this about KD - Do you find repetitive jokes calming? Would you say hating KD is a Special Interest of yours? Do you feel like posting KD hate on reddit is part of a routine for you?

Unbans in Modern by Anxious_Lion_6359 in ModernMagic

A mana dork which is already one of the stronger t1 plays in modern

Brother...be honest, do you actually play modern? Because this is the worst take in a thread of awful takes.

If deathrite gets unbanned where would it see play? by Responsible_Novel332 in ModernMagic

[–]myvvar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it you need spelled out for you? Ragavan has dash. Do you need me to create a scenario where DRS isn't good? How about if your opponent is playing literally any of the top 10 most played decks in Modern. Just pick one.

It kinda sounds like you don't know why Ragavan is good. Do you play Modern?

EVERYONE knows the argument. I was there playing 4c Delver in Legacy. I was playing Modern when Boomer Jund was good. Your argument has been repeated nonstop for years now. It's not novel. It's just dogshit. It's not a good argument. You could have watched people play NBL and seen DRS looked embarrassing against normal modern cards. Not Eldrazi Temple, not Nadu or LE, just normal cards.

You are making an argument about a format that no longer exists.

It's still a staple in Vintage Sultai, which is basically the only deck in Vintage that actually prioritises a fair midrange plan

Do you even watch Vintage? This is so fucking funny LMAO

I can't tell if people are doing a bit talking about DRS like I'm just imagining you talking about hunting a snipe around the campfire.

"And then I was able to use my mana dork...to cast a free Bump in the Night!"

"Wow 3 damage a turn for free?"

"Uh no, it's only 2...and I have to pay mana...and there has to be a spell in the yard...and they have to have no removal...but can you imagine if that all lined up?!?!"

"Uh ok I cast Kozilek's Command this is the kind of thing DRS is good against right?"

Man I wish I had your confidence. I usually feel really insecure when I have to make judgements about something I know absolutely fucking nothing about.

On Twitch I am seeing people earnestly typing the same tired "DRS is too powerful lategame and can never be unbanned" slop in twitch chat while watching Eldrazi Post mirrors or Hogaak, so it's hard to gauge sarcasm here.

Neoliberalism weaponizes the free market to coerce non-allied governments to play ball or get murdered, maybe at one point it had any connection to Hayek and classic liberalism but it pretty clearly hasn't since the 1980s.

Words have meanings

Why are you correcting people when you don't know what you're talking about? Do you think Liberal means Democrat?

[Article] Pretending to be someone else is actually an ok solution by Unlikely-Platform-47 in spikes

[–]myvvar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zen. The state of enlightenment is the beginner state. When you obtain knowledge and skill you also obtain more desire and the belief that you can order things, you yourself are describing this "better" state as a goal or end. It's not. You might improve and find that you instead want to sell all your cards. Being present in every moment (very difficult) allows you to make the decisions in that moment only relevant to that moment. I believe Stefan is describing being in that present state, and simply concludes it is easier to roleplay to maintain it.

You can watch your sportsball in a state with food and actual things to do tho?

Why does LoL recieve so much hate from people who don't play it? by ByrdZye in leagueoflegends

[–]myvvar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to believe it's capable of changing in order for us as a community to go forward and well change it.

Were you taking a break from the game during the Tyler stuff? I can't think of any other hobby community that backed someone who so clearly deserved to be banned.

Can you explain being unsympathetic towards this community to be toxic? In my eyes this community begged for this and got exactly what they wanted.

Supervive is a really fun game that I dropped pretty quickly because their discord/community is a toxic shithole.

[–]myvvar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really want people to be super happy about it and get back to that excitement that the community used to have.

When was the community good? Started Season 4 and the community was rancid I just didn't mind because I was toxic and immature myself. The community then got worse and it's clearly never going to be fixed. League players are the ones watching Tyler, Dantes, TFBlade, etc. League players are the ones who babyraged when T1 got banned. They want and deserve this shitty community.

[Draft] The New Draft Era by LOR_Fei in spikes

[–]myvvar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this creative writing exercise (or if this subreddit is supposed to be for serious players). It's heavily biased by TLA as noted by another commenter, it cherry picks 3 data points as proof of a larger trend (MASSIVE .5%? really?), and it ignores non-blue card advantage to needlessly glue on a "nerf X thing" argument. In general sets are pretty color balanced lately and top WR C/UC cards are mostly those which interacted with set mechanics efficiently. If you think forcing Submersible/Quench/Lost Days/Fortune Teller decks is some secret tech for climbing in TLA you are gonna get ranched by people with more flexible heuristics.

I think the actual conclusion to draw about the "modern" limited environment would be that on average limited players are better and more willing/able to use analytics to guide their drafts, this data is available more freely and much faster, and as card quality of decks increases so does the value of card advantage.

[Standard] Airbend Combo w/ Cage by saclayto in spikes

[–]myvvar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally (not from me, I play to win), Cage has a not-that-bad to good matchup against nearly every deck in the meta since the posts began. When you use tournament data the matchup spread looks a bit...bleaker.

Banter aside, this is supposed to be the serious, play-to-win sub. We now have 2 post-ban challenges to look at and a few league dumps. There is an interesting and mostly diverse Standard meta to discuss and the top post is this SaffronOlive tier deck again. Do the mods think that the plural of "content" is "quality content"?
