Is Skellige ever getting sorted so that it's not a solitaire faction?
Needless to say, Skellige is my least favorite faction in the game. It's an autopilot, play-and-forget, point spam fest. My dislike for the faction started with the axemen weather spam and every iteration of the faction has had similar broken decks that require no thought whatsoever.
Now it's bear spam or the greatsword long ship combo. If the opponent has no counters, you win. If the opponent has counters, you win because you can resurrect all your engines, making removal useless unless you play NG alchemy and that's not the best of solutions.
Not only that, Skellige is the only faction that relies on strengthening of its units, making resets ineffective. Which leaves them with nice resurrection spam for round 3.
Is there any chance that REDs might look into Skellige and go back to the drawing board? I know Skellige is not the only spam faction but it is the worst.
I'd really like the faction to become something more like NG spies, where you need to put some thought into it. Well, as much as Gwent mechanics allow you to. But I'd like to see the faction move away from being this boring, autoplay faction with idiotic archetypes that certainly don't help the game. Skellige is my favorite Witcher location, too.
P.S.
Yes, I don't like Skellige, in case you weren't sure.
