We really aren't owed anything. I agree that the game is not in a good state and it would have been great for it to be fixed a lot sooner than this but we aren't owed anything.
Philologus;n10299962 said:No.. it makes a lot of sense. You're just purposely avoiding the issue that altaybek illustrated concerning novices easily being able to pilot an OP dwarf deck, against more skillful players who refuse to netdeck that particular archetype. Are there other archetypes that would work against dwarf decks (e.g. consume) on a consistent basis? Sure. But, there isn't even close to enough diversity right now, to build original decks that do so, and will be competitive in ranked. As a result, one is left with the choice of "joining the crowd" of less skillful players who play such decks, or lose-out.
In this case, it's not a contest of skill, 4RM3D.
Very cute, 4RM3D. You know what he meant by, "abuse".
StrykerxS77x;n10302332 said:This issue has nothing to do with skill. Dwarfs is simply one of if not they most consistent and strong decks in the game so people who don't mind using it who want to win are going to use it. That doesn't make them worse players.

Hint: keyword is "lowest"
namretsbol;n10303062 said:So much entitlement from op, and some other gamers, it's unreal.
People making games don't owe anything to players of their game. Players don't deserve anything. Just because you bought a game doesn't mean you own the developers. You didn't order a service, you bought a product. In this case not even that, it was free. So if you don't like it, don't play it. You can criticize, but other than that you are not owed anything.

Philologus;n10303642 said:Lol.. using a dwarf deck takes no skill. Come on, Stryker, it's a brain-dead deck that is massively OP.

StrykerxS77x;n10304602 said:I said nothing in that post about the skill it takes to play a dwarf deck. I said players that want to win are going to use the best decks they can find.
I will say though that it doesn't take much skill to pilot any deck in this game.

I want to whittle my deck and strategy from my own head, not from the internet, and be able to rise up. Right now I'm basically running in place at 16 and every single deck I face is a predictable netdeck'd, exploit-loving, unbalanced card-using bore.
I'd really love if there was some sort of Ranked Match for creative people instead of the cookie-cutter mickey mouse bullshit that it is right now.
