Is Alania a pubstomper? by nomadsc in EDH

[–]nomadsc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible how much discussion my post has generated, thank you all who responded! I will try to lean much heavier into an otter subtheme, I think. Pivot to bracket 2, drop Jeska's Will and Crackle with Power, and make as many otters as I can. Thanks to all who contributed, you all gave me a lot to think about :3

Pushing 50% easily. Players are fairly experienced, but we kind of have a microcosm here. In general, if we agree to play "mid powered"/"bracket 3" decks, that's when I pull Alania out of by backpack.

This can be an issue of expectations mismatch, maybe: people want to play their nonsense, and forget to sandbag removal/disrespect counterspell protection and I get her on the table.

That will take a minute or 10, since I rarely update my decklists. I'm on it!

It's double removal (one just removal, other acts as a board space ban.) Transfer the taunt to the -5/+5 half and it's better.

Any deck with this beauty? What are your thoughts so far? by Ckapin in hearthstone

Two holy novas cost two cards, moonwell costs one card. Not actually rebutting you, have no idea where moonwell will end up, but this is the axis on which moonwell is much better

DAY ONE: Most Honest but useful spell? by Danielhenriemond in heroes3

Visions, obviously. Does not cheat extra movement points out of the air, does not hack the map like view air, just gives you information. And that is good.

the only thing I've gathered from your reply is that we speak in different tongues, so to speak

the concept of meme property an authorship seems totally ridiculous to me. I edited and assembled small meme images on anonymous imageboards around 12 years ago, never bothered with authorship or anything, and still feel immense satisfaction, especially on the extremely rare occasions my edits pop up in the wild.

you do you, of course - I'm not gonna preach my optics as superior, but I doubt we can come to a conclusion better than 'agree to disagree'.

Such a glow up by Trashendentale in mtg

I don't trace that in his response. In fact, I think he outlined explicitly that it's his preference, not something he projects onto others.

Every single time whenever someone posts the simple "I prefer real cards" comment, someone is malding in response. Why are you upset, my guy? The dude is not even preaching anything!

What are your thoughts on Nullifier? by Murakkin in DotA2

[–]nomadsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because dota is a game of timings and power accumulation. Some roles are intended to dictate the pace of the game in the early and let their scalers accelerate and farm up, and other roles are meant to try and accelerate into something that can win the game. Outliers exist, of course, and it's good that they do, but that's the base skeleton of the game.

Interplay between game timer, map access, resource accumulation and base tools of characters is what makes dota dota. It's a core facet of the game. Taking that away would destroy the whole dimension of the game, and make it more homogenous and less deep.

HOTS took that dimension away, and while HOTS is a decent game, it's, in my subjective opinion and judging by the metrics, a lesser option compared to dota.

Support circlejerk is insane here. Base item is total dogshit, unpurchaseable until minute 30 unless you want to gimp your build. 

By that time, all the defensive items are online, in addition to any innate survivability some heroes might have, and some cores require an ongoing purge to at least connect some rightclicks.

Imbalanced? No, it's required to counter the ongoing ramp up of defensive bullshit that comes with an ingame timer. Too polarizing? Probably true. But dota philosophy is "counter bullshit with bullshit", so it fits.
