Yesterday evening and today morning I played 18 games in Banished mode using Guerrilla Tactics as my main ability. Out of 18 games, 14 were against Nilfgaard, so that's about 77/78% of the games which is quite similar to what you wrote. The last 9 games were all against Nilfgaard

It's so annoying, I had to make a Scoia'tael deck specifically for NG because NG is the only deck that people play with. It goes back to the being able to ban a faction thread, everyone uses the same copy paste NG deck and all you end up doing is playing against the same 15 NG cards. There's no creativity in playing with the copy paste deck, but I assume people either know it's a cheap win and do it because it's fast, easy and takes minimal thinking, or, they don't know how to make a decent deck themselves. But when a game has 6 factions and you're playing against the same faction over and over again it takes away from the game. It takes away the fun, it takes away the challenge of out smarting one's opponent, and it's turning this game incredibly boring and stale. Whenever a NG deck comes up its so predictable that one can usually call out what card the NG player is going to play before they even play it. This game is played worldwide, which makes me believe the developers algorithms are so jack up, or they just don't care, because I find it hard to believe that for the amount of people playing, not everyone can be using this cheap copy paste NG deck, and for those of us using different factions and looking forward to playing more than just one faction apparently up to 77% of time is very telling. Being able to ban one deck would be amazing as it would finally allow players to play against the other 5 factions. And those that want to keep playing against NG decks can, but I predict that for a while NG players will end up just playing against their duplicate decks and realize how boring it gets. For those that want to say yeah but winning is fun or using a high win percentage for only playing NG as a reason, feels like a lazy excuse. I've used this analogy before but I'll do it again. As an adult winning a bowling match against a bunch of kids while you are also using the bumpers is easy but does it make it fun? or is it a cheap win? I started playing this game when it first came out and only had four or five factions and a whole lot less cards. That version of the game was much more fun, it seemed as if all the factions were evenly made and it took skill to play. Now it's more about uneven match ups, continuously playing the same exact deck, and how many cards the developers can create in hopes that people pay extra to unlock them faster, (which people do) and leaves the many players that want to see and play variety having to play against the same NG deck 27 times in order to finally play a different faction once and then back to a ridiculous run against the NG deck again. There's no fun in not being able to play the full game, and by that, I mean being able to have a more even spread of opponents from other factions, otherwise the developers mine as well just get rid of every factions and just force everyone to play the NG deck, because that's what this game has turned out to be. This game has become so incredibly boring, for me at least. I posted on the ban a deck page maybe two or three days ago, I believe I said something like I played this game 23 times and played against the same NG deck 21 of those games.... soooo fun.....
