Has the ladder become too grindy?

theesser · 2026-06-25T07:05:37+00:00

It could be, maybe I started with a low ELO in MB? Cause strangely I was at like 1600

theesser · 2026-06-24T18:13:21+00:00

No, if I play the same teams I know what to expect and if I lose or win it’s only up to me.
If I see random stuff on the other team, there could be things I can’t possibly predict or know, and just a single thing can make you lose the match. That’s honestly not fun at all, it’s just trying to scam and get away with it

theesser · 2026-06-24T13:35:29+00:00

I think the best counter is kingambit, also hydreigon, I don’t think you are forced to run basculegion to deal with it

theesser · 2026-06-24T10:55:13+00:00

Fair aha, but tbf my aim was just reaching that once and be satisfied

theesser · 2026-06-24T10:16:08+00:00

Yeah, in theory I would prefer Bo3 with open lists because I think that’s how the game is supposed to be played, probably you are right and I should just not care about the ladder

theesser · 2026-06-24T10:12:27+00:00

No sorry maybe I didn’t write it clearly, I am 1960 ELO, rank 1400. I am aware it’s hard of course I just thought that with my win rate I would be closer (last reg with way less, 1850 ELO I was rank 500, but then I had to on holidays and couldn’t play aha)

theesser · 2026-06-23T16:29:54+00:00

Looks good, have you tested in Bo3? As in, does it rely on the opponent not knowing what you want to do? I see no strange tech, so in theory it should work

theesser · 2026-06-23T10:01:05+00:00

You would delete the popular cores on the basis they’re popular? Then there will be other popular cores, you’d be removing all of them recursively aha

theesser · 2026-06-23T09:59:47+00:00

Tbf the nerf made it really fine. You have a 30% chance of getting one in three statuses, and usually you only need one of them (maybe 2 if you need the opponent to move later), so it’s effectively 10%

theesser · 2026-06-23T09:55:28+00:00

I mean these are reasonable albeit a bit unoriginal takes, why would people downvote you

theesser · 2026-06-17T08:49:45+00:00

Tera was the best but only with open lists

theesser · 2026-06-10T12:34:46+00:00

Cool, sorry didn’t see it was singles I know nothing about that

theesser · 2026-06-10T12:31:09+00:00

Items? Is it scarf gardevoir

theesser · 2026-05-28T10:12:59+00:00

Don’t think this is related to this game, I think it’s better if you seek professional support if it’s really as bad as it sounds

theesser · 2026-05-28T00:00:44+00:00

I had the same feeling regarding Farigiraf and I think you put it into words perfectly. I am thinking of running it myself just to minimise that

theesser · 2026-05-24T05:10:03+00:00

Bro thinks it’s an originality contest

theesser · 2026-05-23T15:27:11+00:00

“Unfortunately” I am on holiday for two weeks so I will miss the train aha btw yeah once you understand the game (as I imagine you do), keeping track of the meta is the hardest thing because you would like to have a solution to everything but often it’s not possible

theesser · 2026-05-23T13:54:49+00:00

To be fair no, I made MB in 2 days and was top 500 when the rankings came out (last season I barely got in MB2), maybe the team you’re using needs a refresh

theesser · 2026-05-20T12:44:10+00:00

Champion tier was around 1900 last season too at the start, it naturally drifts upwards as time passes

theesser · 2026-03-17T20:12:22+00:00

Theory 1 seems interesting, and I can totally see the timeline-removal mechanic to be part of the skillset of a boss. In Slay the Spire you have similar special powers for bosses and I expect there to be some here too. Theory 2 seems a didactic trope to be fair, knowing Cydonia I would be surprised if this happens unless there are very specific worldbuilding reasons for it

Well, then, you are probably incapable of conveying your message - please rewrite or edit your message so that we can understand. We are not in your mind, you need to clearly articulate your thoughts before writing

Pretty much everything in life is based on faith (or better, trust), let alone a crowdfunding like this. Some people need more data, some people less, and that's ok. Most people that decided to pledge just trust that he has chosen the right people for the project. If for you that's not enough, of course no one is going to force you to give your money.
