I was 13th, dropped to 22 last week because i really feel like i'm not playing to win

bronze spire
#

didnt everyone hate vertical rogs?

sinful hornet
#

when they're broken sure

tropic forge
#

doing crazy shits trying to enjoy the game, but it's worthless.

#

Is go with the broken, or lose a lot and end feeling bad.

bronze spire
sinful hornet
#

i think they shot themselves with the smurfs ban, u could've had people at the top play smurfs to test

cyan olive
#

ok, so it is same as in ascendant, when 1-2 rogues were "op" splash, like just put in lura/rhampy and kill some backline, other guy has to giga position or flip side

sinful hornet
#

other guy has no counterplay now he has to choose what he gets fucked by

cyan olive
bronze spire

#

I got a game, what com p do I play hollow^^

bronze spire
#

see a lot of people using 1-2 rogues as a liability too

sinful hornet
#

but it doesn't, there's loulura + fernite + synalph or pho and goliant in a team how do u position with psyons

#

u can't, u either stat check them or not

sinful hornet
#

meanwhile everyone complains about corner comps but that's the most grief positioning vs anything with no rogues

cyan olive
#

game feels giga laggy uff

sinful hornet
#

not for me

bronze spire
#

but if this didnt counter it than couldnt you just say the same thing in reverse

spring basin
#

I'm not sure what the player quality was like when you played, but people have gotten better, and the standard is much higher than when I started. I'd say most players in the top 50 can beat me if RNG favors them or if I underperform. That said, it also has to do with agency being pretty low at the moment.

bronze spire
#

the rogues dont do as well vs fighters. Kind of just gives them free pathing onto opponents fighter

sinful hornet
#

i mean i agree with this but because game agency got lower

tropic forge
# spring basin I'm not sure what the player quality was like when you played, but people have g...

Yeah, this is also true. But i don't really care to play vs 10000 good players as long as i have fun and the game doesn't go about who goes the most broken OP build and RNG only. I know, balance is hard, is hard to get a game where all classes and comps get to be equilibrated, but at least, they should have a % chance on winning. Right now, there are classes and comps that are useless, and like 3-4 fixed comps on every game. How do you measure a player's level or a good challenge with the game as it is?

sinful hornet
#

there will never be a top of any ladder ever where people don't play the most broken build

#

the thing i don't get is how the fuck they basically nailed almost perfect balance on the first gauntlet patch and then it just kept getting fucked

tropic forge
sinful hornet
#

tbh the rewards for top are barely good for top 1 if u had to play all day, it's decent for 2nd and 3rd only because now u can just do the 15 games weekly

#

also you get drawn into 1 raffle and u made more than if u were 2nd for the whole month KEKW

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

i mean do they tho, don't they get more in axie still for way lower place?

#

u gonna stream some games?

cyan olive
#

tbh I get cancer atm by how clunky it feels compared to tft šŸ˜…

sinful hornet
#

ye that's true

#

Any chance for a ladder reset next thursday into patch into leviathan the week after?

cyan olive
#

the clunky part is super crazy uff, was playing tft last 2 weeks and I can buy/sell new team in a turn

#

and reasonable rolldown holding extra stuff

sinful hornet
#

u know there's sell push reroll keybinds?

cyan olive
#

I did find it mid game

#

but still feels tougher

sinful hornet
#

i can do a full rolldown here

#

i'm not sure if u're actually just turbo lagging

cyan olive
#

could be

tropic forge
sinful hornet
#

no

#

tbh on testnet they kinda changed that i think there's legit not enough time for a rolldown after pve now

tropic forge
#

No reset, no balance... no leviathan? hmm... time to finish Clair Obscure šŸ˜†

sinful hornet
#

we're probably getting patch in 2 days after tournament, but would still hope they sneak in some balance changes too otherwise not much changes

tropic forge
#

i want to throw my keyboard to those Singes and do some real damage šŸ˜†

cyan olive
#

if you are down to invest time and are smart person Kaito is better anyways for making money atm

#

compared to playing some low end p2e

#

or you can do the more competitive games tourament scene, which is the best if you are good at the games

sinful hornet
#

i just saw the tft league or whatver they're gonna do, too bad the set looks trash

cyan olive
#

I haven“t see that yet

#

Set isn“t great, but ok I think

#

still a very polished game at least, but prob somewhat reroll heavy meta all set

#

5costs are cool designed, 4costs kinda low effort

cyan olive
#

especially if game already feels laggy without stream šŸ˜…

frank moon

#

ohhh that answers lag, this game still has insane nasa computer requirment

cyan olive
#

been having issues with it for 2 months

#

think they have to replace gpu

#

so I pray they have one there

#

is there a spreadsheet for the weapons btw?

cyan olive

@cyan olive glad you are back ingame ser, should we call you "trashbird" for life or do you think you ll reveal yourself? šŸ˜‚

cyan olive

How have I missed the nice people of this community 😊

spring basin
uncut comet
#

+7 and they both combined have 1300+ elo more then me and for 5. i would prob lost 25+ again

spring basin
bronze spire
#

unlucky lobby though for sure

uncut comet
bronze spire
#

he would only ever get 13

#

im much lower and never more han 13 even with a decent lobby

sinful hornet
#

i don't think there's any lobby in the game wher eu can get more than +13

#

even if u somehow hit top 7+u

bronze spire
#

i was about to say that haha

sinful hornet
#

the actual difference happens on - points for losing

#

i've had 36 and i've had 50 loss on 5th

#

on about the same elo for myself

spring basin
uncut comet
bronze spire
#

he would lose more tho

spring basin
#

The ppl under you in ranking feels the sameway so it's a snowball effect

#

With the current players base there is no ideal fix to this and what we have is in my opinion the best solution

uncut comet
#

yeah whatever didnt wanted to offense u , i understand that with how the system work atm just said in an ideal way

bronze spire
#

imo everyone is in the position they deserve. I dont see anyone that is wrongly placed when considering games played (time put in) and average place/win rate (skill). Its working really well. Only criticism is the way the elo gain/losses "feel" but this cant be avoided

spring basin
#

No worries, I didn’t get offended because there was no ill will ā˜ŗļø There’s nothing wrong with having a conversation where two people think different things are good, as long as you stick to facts and avoid insults šŸ™

cyan olive
#

The feeling thing is tough though.
If people feel bad in theory doesn“t matter if system is fair and perfect, if they perceive it poorly it might as well be.

(Not saying I have a solution)

#

It is like if some team has a bad winrate, but people hate loosing to it, still kinda correct to nerf/disable it.

bronze spire
cyan olive
bronze spire
#

yea or even new to the genre, not to ignore the feedback or anything but has to be noted some times

cyan olive
#

yeah, hard part is figuring out a balance/system that works for current playerbase, maybe if it goes to 500DAU things feel different again

#

but need to get there šŸ˜…

bronze spire
#

wonder what it was first 1-2 weeks

#

of rewards. Seemed to be maybe 3-6 games on at most times

cyan olive
#

3-6 sounds decent, 8-player lobby big hurdle in general in that sense

#

maybe good AI bots are the solution šŸ˜…

bronze spire
#

we had a few bots haha

#

they gave up after a few days or being called out

cyan olive
#

yeah, but I mean elo-skill adjusted

#

games also do that

bronze spire
#

yea

spring basin
# cyan olive The feeling thing is tough though. If people feel bad in theory doesn“t matter i...

I do agree with this, and I see your point. But if there’s no good solution right now because we need more players, which will likely come, then what are the possible outcomes? If you open things up more for those who feel negatively, it might strengthen their bad feelings and the feeling will spread to others. But if you explain the situation and help people understand why things are the way they are, and that we have to make the best of it, the negative feelings likely won’t be as strong. It’s just as you said. People’s feelings can fluctuate, and they’re often based more on perception than on how things actually are.

# spring basin I do agree with this, and I see your point. But if there’s no good solution righ...

Yeah guiding the perception is the difficult part.
That“s why the core was are people unhappy cause of mmr number or cause of rank or cause of rewards, then you can address that thing.

If it is rank, then this atm is totally fine, could even be argued that top 4 shouldn“t be a secured gain, maybe you e.g. should be + on 1st minus on 2nd even cause so far higher than the rest.
Autochess early days had lobbies like that, your hidden rating prob goes minus on 3rd maybe on 2nd even atm.

#

So for ranking, if you want to make the climb infinite not a thing, that“s one extreme, 2nd 3rd 4th could be negative points.

twilit storm
#

maybe not 2nd 3rd but from 4th onward can help to prevent infinite climbing ye

cyan olive
#

Using the "hidden" rating for gains/lose would eventually make you get +0,1 or lower on 1st, using that is most extreme, can obv do inbetween.

#

That is what 1v1 system was

#

and why people saw +0 instead of +0,X

twilit storm
#

more granular, interesting

spring basin
# cyan olive Yeah guiding the perception is the difficult part. That“s why the core was are p...

Wouldn't that make the problem worse? Most people are complaining about losing points and feeling like they have to play for hours just to earn them back. If you look at people’s average rank, a system like this would make things a lot worse for almost everyone. I think the high negative points for bottom 4 are keeping the grind in check to a good degree. You don’t have to play 12+ hours a day to maintain your rank, but you still need to keep playing to defend it. If you wanna climb you have to improve your average, or play more. Isn’t that what good balance looks like?

cyan olive
#

If rank is the worry, the min gains are a problem for those

#

if point lose on 5th or below is an issue, you could cap how much they can lose/cap it lower than atm

tropic forge
#

To be honest, i kinda feel like the actual system is not the best, but it does gives you the need of being top 4 in ALL games, which is fine, a game -25 could mean u need to win 2 games on first, which is hard.. but achievable. In fact, if u are a good player, u will end up with 90% top 4,assuming u can get 2 games on 1st, it kinda gives u the sense of pregressing.
The big deal, is when this system meets the actual game state, where ANY player, with basic knowledge of the game and a solid comp, can beat a pro as Slickz for instance, without a big strat, unit positioning , etc. So, getting like 3 5th places in 10 games is totally possible, and that's when u start wondering that there's something wrong about the game.

#

I mean, the balance of the actual game is the real problem, the ELO system just reflects that in your face.

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

there is not a single change u can probably do that gets rid of the people complaining because they'd be stuck in about the same ranks either way

cyan olive
#

just lobbies are very unbalanced and people hidden rating=/ shown, cause the enfored gains on top 4, so the difference grows and then 5th and below big minus

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

ye you would but then u'd have the tradeoff be that the top 3 difference grows

In my case i'm not complaining about rank, i can humble assure you, i would be still at 10-15 rank (which i'm totally comfortable at) if i had followed the 3-4 actual comps that people play right now. I've never, NEVER played a single bulk 5 comp.
I always try to find new refreshing builds as the game goes on, and i managed to top 13 , until all lobbies started filling with 5bulk and the killer monkeys...

#

this, is not a coincidence, i can assure you. People didn't get better in 1 week.

sinful hornet
#

6th and below really hard

cyan olive
twilit storm
#

An average player can sometimes beat top players just coz he has the RnG Gods on his side giving him the perfect Augs

tropic forge
#

So, my complain is about, i can't get fun or commitement anymore to a game that forces you to play 3 builds, or lose rank. I honestly tried, but can't.

cyan olive
#

idk, just making suggestions to the topic, as the 5th or below and then erase day worth of playing thing does suck for many

sinful hornet
cyan olive
#

or just make one and donĀ“t tell šŸ˜…

tropic forge
#

i“ve played Dota 2 for like 10years, 8K MMR, i know what a competitive META game is , and trust me, this isn“t

sinful hornet
#

ye but u can't compare moba metas to strategy games meta

tropic forge
#

Anyway, i“m a "new" player in Arena, this is my first Arena month even if i“m playing Illuvium (Overworld) since launch. I love the game a lot, i would like to spend a lot more hours in Illuvium, but a proper balance is needed for that to happen, and i“m sure this is a lot of player“s sentiment right now.

sinful hornet
#

in every card game and autobattler it's the same as gauntlet

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

sometimes they hit godlike metas with 5~ playable decks/comps on about same power levels but it's not often

cyan olive
#

same in HS-BG

sinful hornet
#

ye but tft has like double the units

cyan olive
#

the ingame-events things shift whats good and bad for people

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

yea but u can just think of it as different patches - ish, u already know based on galaxy what's good

#

i mean we're gonna probably get some variety with the emblems, but it could very well just turn the game into a complete fiesta too

tropic forge
#

My feedback as a cave man would be "Hey, i was having looooot of Fun before last patch, trying lot of different comps vs players with different comps, and climbing the leaderboard..." Suddenly, week 3 started with a new patch, and people started playing bulwark 5 comp, and monkey comp, and my fun went to hell" ... what happened?!

cyan olive
#

for some yeah, some others push like an emblem to people though

augments and components make you go very different comps or modify units even, like imagine Atlas line turning into dps

#

from what I saw in posts/watching people those kinda augments/galaxies don“t exist

#

which is like the main thing giving TFT replayability/has people do more than 1-2 comps for everyone

#

even here, could have augments giga buffing empath/psion/fighter/rogue builds, giving way more money to make phantom rhampyhre or w.e. more accessible and similar

sinful hornet
#

we're getting galaxies next patch, but it's +30 starting hp, +2 dmg per loss, no change and other stuff i didn't see

cyan olive
#

then you have bunch of different lines people are supposed to take

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

and the thing is they +30 hp is so useless cuz there's no units in the pool to do anything with it

twilit storm
#

@sinful hornet tried last night with Rich

augments and components/items shift more than galaxie anyways

twilit storm

tropic forge

and i tested this bulwark 5 with 5 random bulwark and won like 5 rounds in a row.

twilit storm

in Dota you can vote "ban" units before game starts, right?

twilit storm
#

what if we can do vote "ban" augs in Gauntlet?

tropic forge
#

buuut, first we have to fix em 🤣

#

for instance, adaptive makes sense, but needs to be reworked - balanced. Also the one that gives true sight and some other.

#

the broken ones is the big deal, and the useless ones. As i say, balance fixes most of actual gameplay problems. Too much OP - Shitty disparity

spring basin
# sinful hornet on new patch would be pretty good timing

Yeah, I agree šŸ‘ A reset with the new patch would be good timing. Just don’t rush it because a few people are impatient. Make sure the patch is bug-free, balanced, and fun to play, then we can start the new season. If possible placement matches would be nice to have also šŸ™

Nice conversations to read through!

I'd suggest hiding true MMR and have a rank climbing that resets every "season" which would be either monthly or weekly and just have players climb up bronze/silver/gold etc. The casuals then just get stuck in wooden league. Maybe then add a "top tier" that has a pool of the best players ranked with a simple number - 1 for the best player, 2 for second best etc. while keeping the actual MMR hidden. I've always found these systems to help players psychologically.

I would also align major patches with the season reset. It helps players identify the different top players based on that season's meta.

Also, it's essential to not let the meta get stale like this. As a player you can watch the game die when patches are sparse and the meta is "solved" to a degree. Interest will immediately pick up once a new patch drops.

I was wondering about the Saturday“s tournament struct. and it“s kinda strange 1st game takes out 24 players at once. With actual luck based augments-weapons roll and OP compositions , is hard even for top players to get top 2.
IMO, and for next tournament“s structure , it would be better to have a top 4

32 people - (4 games simultaneous leaving 16 winners);
16 people - (2 games simultaneous leaving 8 winners).

And those are the finalists.

Getting top 4 in 2 games is safer and skill based than a single game top 2. Just my opinion, i“m not even in the tournament.

rancid raptor
#

or i mean how do we know each others points? is there a record?

west plume
rancid raptor
#

its weird being lower elo is better then?

#

know what i mean? you get paired against lower elo so higher chances to win

dark scaffold
#

in every semi, you have 4 ppl from top 16 LB and 4 ppl from the grind

#

if thats what you asking, so there is no "lower ranking" bracket

tropic forge
# dark scaffold in every semi, you have 4 ppl from top 16 LB and 4 ppl from the grind

Yeah, i understand that. The thing i just don“t see totally optimized , is the fact that in every one of those 4 first games (where i understand that 4 people are from the LB and 4 on today“s qualifiers), 6 people are gonna get insta eliminated.
The game right know is really broken tbh, and anyone, literally anyone can insta eliminate 6 top players in a single game.

sinful hornet
#

that wasn't a reply to u

#

also it's not really like that, chances are besides like 2 people most of the qualifier players will bot their games

#

but a top player can be guaranteed top 2 instantly on the first legendary augment round

tropic forge
#

Ok then.So only top players know about the legendary augments? ...

#

anyway... it“s ok. If you guys are so confident u know 100% will get top 2 in that first game, good luck then. No worries.

sinful hornet
#

the broken augments are enough to give a mid player a free win, not someone worse

dark scaffold
#

we could go for gazilion different rules, and all could be valid, and all could have ppl who love the rules and ppl who dont like them
If we talks bugs/balancing arguments, alternative would be not having tournament at all, is thats what we want?
If we talk amount of matches, for some ppl this will be 6-7 hours worth of matches (4 hours knocks offs and 2 games, 40-50min eacvh for semi and finals)
just try to have fun, we testing stuff, we braking stuff

this tournament has the rules set, next one may have different rules based on the feedback, best to play, gather your thoughts and then send it to Rich, after, we may make a thread in #1020759212172775464 and look/brainstorm for best rules etc

tropic forge

we have whole Saturday ( a day in the future) for the tournament... so , 2 semifinal games, and 3 final games are also better structured. As i say, as a valoration for next tournament, i know things can“t change in 2 days

I'd say the larger issue is resources, although it may seem like 2 days is no big deal, when our marketing team has been significantly reduced. So that means me organise and run it (luckily I have Peter helping) and Kieran coming too. When already working everyday and trying to balance a normal life with reduced resources. So although we may have a ā€œwhole Saturdayā€ I personally do not. I don’t have any ā€œwhole dayā€ for anything unfortunately lol

sinful hornet
#

You could make it guild sponsored no? We already have like 3 guilds running 6-7 games tournaments

zenith mortar
#

But yeah we do that currently

#

Just not them hosting the Illuvium one

#

What’s the difference you say?

sinful hornet
#

well it's just competitiveness, 2 games is just not it, instead of 2 games i'd rather just have another raffle draw

zenith mortar
#

Well maybe we want the tournament streamed? Well that again requires myself or someone from Illuvium (likely Me)

#

Guilds say we are being biased giving more exposure to others (yes this has happened already in past)

sinful hornet
#

now i don't wanna just randomly give other people work they didn't ask for out of nowhere, but would paz as a council member not potentially run it himself on behalf of illuvium?

or other volunteers

I honestly value all effort you guys put into Illuvium. Believe me, every word or time i take to write here and to try to help / improve or give my shitty opinion, that sometimes people agree with, is because i love the game too.
And i assure u competitive players want to play and show skills, and have a truly deserved spot on the final. My method, or any other that could improve a game where 6 of our best players can get insta eliminated just by luck, seems reasonable enough.

zenith mortar
tropic forge
#

So i just suggest u, if it“s too late, to take that into account for next event. And if you guys can“t handle it, for 100% understandable reasons, there are more than capable guild leaders/ players that can do it.

sinful hornet
#

Rule of thumb not even the bo1 Top 4 to qualify events were very competitive, gatekeeping top 2 is basically just a 40 minute coinflip, if there's a competitivness lever and a timesaving lever this format we have tomorrow is at the bottom of competitivness and top of time saving, and bo3/bo4 advance to top 8 into another bo3/bo4 is about 80% competitivness and 20% timesaving

frozen tartan
sinful hornet
#

as a player the phantom normal tournaments and the one quants tournament with like 5 games of top 8 were by far the best

tropic forge
sinful hornet
#

now im not saying change the one tomorrow cuz it's gotta be locked for sure by now, but if u have any option to find someone to run a longer one it would be way better for the next one

spring basin
#

We have Caveman, Paz, and Scoriox. All of them could stream and host the tournament, and make it more competitive so that the players appreciate it more. A semi-final Best of 2 and a final Best of 3 should be the minimum.

sinful hornet
#

i mean it just really doesn't make sense to have the worst tournament format so far be the highest prize pool

tropic forge
# sinful hornet now im not saying change the one tomorrow cuz it's gotta be locked for sure by n...

I don“t really see a reason we can“t change tomorrow“s ... i“m pretty sure Illuvium top 16 would agree, because seems reasonable enough, and people that will clasify today can still choose if go for it or don“t. I know there “s a rule about "not changing anything 1 day before , for profesionality i mean", but if you guys are at the end of the days the ones participating, and it“s for common good and game improvement, i think we should think about it.

Invite me if someone skips im rank 17

viral marsh

2 hour event with bigest prize pull. not sure someone skip this lotery

tropic forge
#

So, seriously Rich, isn“t there a possibility in changing tomorrow “s event system? all you have to do is make that first game where top 2 go final, into 2 games where top 4 advance.
It will only take 45mins + from tomorrow“s time and i know all players will agree.

sinful hornet
#

it's not feasible to change tomorrow bro the players already expect something, the organizers as well, you have people who scheduled around it, you can change the next ones

gaunt hull
#

So if someones skips im the next one!

sinful hornet

you can qualify there's a 4 hour window for the last 16

Unfortunately theres no one to manage, host or advise on the competitive scene

Rich with his already 99 different hats takes it on and did what he could last minute

Im grateful that we still have a tournament, but this format is 1/10 at best and like hollow pointed out yesterday it would take just one more game to make it x3 better. Looks like it is what it is for this one and they dont have time anyway

As the team doesnt have ressources to hold tournaments i suggested them to outsource it to a community organizer/host

I also pushed to have an esports committee couple months ago to overview and advise the team on the competitive scene so that things like this couldnt happen. It took long to implement but the nominations are finally happening right now we should have an esport committee advising the team before the next ilv tournament šŸ™

Best part is i tested some good comps and learned a lot. I feel more prepared for next patch.I guess -200 score was the price to pay, but i don“t really regret it. I“m playing with a more open mind and countering better. So no big deal.

sinful hornet

bro next patch is still the same meta you just add on top of it

I tried using the 5 bulwark its nor for me really. 7-8th place were the price for it

It was early I really dont mind guys, I understand its a 1/10 for the pros here, but maybe its a 5/10 for the regular grinders and maybe your format is a 1/10 for them. Peter and I will have a thread for you guys to discuss future tournament plans, as well as trouble shooting issues with hosting and scheduling. Also as Patate mentioned the Esports committee will be coming as well which will help provide insights from esports professionals that I'm sure will align more with the pros ideas here. So although this 1/10 tournament may not be that much fun /fair for you guys it sets the ground work for future illuvium tournaments. So lets have a great time and good luck.

How many games needed? Do you guys record all the games during that time? No need screenshot from us right?

zenith mortar

no screenshots needed

#

we record everything

sinful hornet
#

well yea that's why i keep bringing up competitivness and the wheel, if you're not the best player you obviously prefer playing as few games as possible that gives you the highest chance at prizepool, opposite for the best players, end of the day it's just balancing competitive and placement variance

#

like if we had this tournament every day then hell yea i'd take ur format every day, but when it's once in a while it feels atrocious to eat a random lowroll that decides the whole tourney

any news about leviathan? it's already 4 week. in anounce says 4-5 week.
do we see Levi LB soon?

sinful hornet

and it's really good for non top3~ players to have something big to play for

sinful hornet

he said they don't wanna fuck up the queues

viral marsh
#

i feel this turney like 1 more raffle. not like tournament for skill check

sinful hornet
#

but patch i think is coming live after tournament

viral marsh
#

not coming very soon, sound like - "not in this month"

sinful hornet
#

well he didn't give a time horizon i think, he just said they don't wanna fuck up the queues

#

imo best play if there's players is you reset ladder next week and then 1 or 2 weeks after u get leviathan online

viral marsh
#

ussualy - soon, mean 2-3 week. and if they say not soon. oh. it's can take 1-2 month

sinful hornet
#

yes but the soon is from me not from him

#

i think basically there's no chance it comes in the next 2 weeks

viral marsh
#

even if ranked reset. and levi+ranked start at same time - just grind 1 month, and got in top for both

sinful hornet
#

3rd week from now could be possible could be not

sinful hornet
#

u want to give people the chance to climb first on one 1 week then on the 2nd one

viral marsh
#

i don't care. i'l spend more time for more perspective. then catch up at other

sinful hornet
#

ye im not saying YOU don't want them to start same time, i'm saying in general

#

cuz you have the risk of everyone's playing the normal ladder on first week and you legit stuck with 6 people not finding a queue in levi

viral marsh
#

rating should reset every week. so no "time limit" to grind.

sinful hornet
#

you're discouraging half the playerbase from playing again with a system like that

viral marsh
#

when you have x4 rewards for levi - i'm sure, you can find game

#

when everyone have chances get good place every week. and not only at start of 2 month season - you will see how people will play.
now - i see that que time again sometimes around 600-800sec.

#

and most of players just seat at their rating. +-some fights for top-10-20.
i'm not say i feel bad - i have just play 15 games. but to made active LB and game - it's strange not reset for week 5.

Do the Testnet Crates with Affinities have random loot, or is there a higher chance of getting the Affinities that you already have on the board?

hi

#

surely next patch adaptive is not dealing pure dmg right?

cyan olive
sinful hornet
#

it's a complete joke, hit one augment get in guaranteed if u're not griefing, while others are playing with basically 0 augments the whole game, when they talked about components coming i thought they knew this too but it seems they just straight up don't get how they're supposed to work

ember sail
#

This final match literally had 4 broken augments. With 2 being used on the same team, they could think about banning this.

sinful hornet
#

i mean u made finals because u rolled the broken augment, they could think about playing their game cuz if anyone in the team tried to climb for 1 day this would've been hotfixed the 2nd day

#

and turning it from autowin for someone if rolled into autoloss cuz u have 3 picks instead of 4 is even worse

bronze spire
#

Triple adaptive not enough to win a game must not be that broken lol

#

Obviously it’s very good though

sinful hornet
#

you griefed your spot and took me out with u Atlas_Pepe1

bronze spire
#

I had 5 earth at round 5 you griefed me lol

#

But yea both fucked eachother for sure

sinful hornet
#

ye but only grilla matters

#

u had 3 when i had 6

violet summit
sinful hornet
#

and i had literally 0 items the whole game so i had no other spot

#

but in ur spot i legit think im top 2ing 90 out of 100 going bulwarks

violet summit
#

But he went for mud, not so great

#

But in all games played today, top2 had damage reflection and/or blightfire

#

This game is really not allowing for skill expression but RNG gods

sinful hornet
#

blightfire is a balanced item compared to adaptive

bronze spire
#

You got 6 grilla naturally?

sinful hornet
#

ye

bronze spire
#

So much luck

sinful hornet
#

what do u mean

#

my best item the whole game was the clumsy one

#

i'm trading my spot with urs every single time

#

in my head u never go for earth with no natural grillas if u hit adaptive cuz it gives u 10 winstreak on just a 2 star grokko

ember sail
sinful hornet
#

and u easily get the sear cap

hot pond
#

adaptive + bulwarks is the easiest play there is literally

viral marsh
sinful hornet
#

but blightfire doesn't give u 10 winstreak for free

bronze spire
#

I had natural grilla and clearly commited earth from round 5 you made the choice to join

sinful hornet
#

i had 2 grillas 2 aapons on my 2nd pvp round

#

the game is just dogshit is the bigger problem

ashen mango
viral marsh
#

i hope we got patch before monday on live. so we can enjoy grinders event, and not play agains random

twilit storm
#

5 bw + adaptive was really an easy bet

sinful hornet
#

also u had the least bulwark players i've ever seen in this lobby

viral marsh
#

strange that Psycho not build behemoth. vs nefer team. only Furyz have 3 bears

#

My internet went down twice. My game had started perfectly, and I accumulated a sequence of losses. And in round 16 it went down again, and GMphoenix only put up 1 ranger and held a Phorus and a Rai with Templar. I still can't understand that. It took me about 20 seconds to take down the ranger.

twilit storm
#

yes

sinful hornet
#

god's work

bronze spire
twilit storm
#

hopefully we will play the new build (maybe)

#

so it will be really fun with the regions and stuff

sinful hornet
west plume
#

anyone up for some Testnet gauntlet?

#

BX5MS4

bronze spire
sinful hornet
#

ye but it doesn't matter cuz u can't cap high enough to top 2 contested

#

the whole point of the build is u don't lose the whole stage midgame and then u cap it with 5 costs

#

and it's literally only grilla that does that

bronze spire
#

I’m talking about capping it with 5 costs

sinful hornet
#

like it's unlucky circumstances for sure but you had a consistent option with bulwarks

#

as in gun to my head need to top 2 in my spot i have to play for earth, swap spots with u i'm always going bulwarks in that spot

bronze spire
#

Swap spots with you I’m not suiciding earth when someone clearly commited and with adaptive to help him last way longer than me

sinful hornet
#

i would roll slightly at 5 see if i roll a bunch of grillas, pick up mystic weapon but if by 2 rounds of slowrolling i didn't hit im bulwarks

sinful hornet
#

and also i had 4 grillas and stage 3 lynx when ur board still played a 1 star grilla

#

honestly actually i should've typed

bronze spire
#

I had stage 2 grilla way before round 11

sinful hornet
#

actual 1 thing to improve

bronze spire
#

I can see why you still went earth though

sinful hornet
#

i don't want to but literally the game's decided for me i don't get other options

viral marsh
#

earth still can play without roll stage-3 units, you have options

sinful hornet
#

for top 4

#

but without grilla 3 u can't top 2

viral marsh
#

for top-1, depend of weapons you got

sinful hornet
#

in any decent tournament format it would've been fine honestly

#

like on ladder this game's still a top 4

bronze spire
sinful hornet
#

honestly this game was just complete aids, any decent item i'm in premium spot, find synalph i'm in decent spot, instead i face the literal only 1 guy that kills me before pve

bronze spire
#

Yea unlucky. Also unlucky we both really like earth and in same lobby haha

sinful hornet
#

the game just likes to give me terrible items 1 in 2 games

viral marsh
#

not remember i hit grilla early

sinful hornet
#

and then give me autowins the other times

bronze spire
sinful hornet
#

because the game gives it to me not because i want to
