It's not only you...
I started this game in October 2021 and at this moment it was the best game i ever had on my mobile phone.
The July 2023 season is the worst season ever in Gwent, and I share your pain.
It's beyond ridicolous, as I said in a previous message.
It's incredible that the devs not only repeated but even amplified the mistakes of the past...
We finally nerfed Drakenborg and Spring Equinox? Don't worry, we introduce 5-6 more broken combinations of cards! One of them making the Skellige Pirates basically invincible with a mechanic that is exactly the same as it was with Drakenborg and Spring Equinox!!! (boosting cards for the value of armor, so 15-16-17 points each turn, for 3-4 turns in a row if you have Teleportation).
People are playing Nilfgaard less? Don't worry, we introduce Nilfgaard flanking broken combinations, with 2 new cards that can summon 4 cards in 2 turns!!
And as a result, I am at rank 4 and the air is not breathable, too much toxic. I have never forfeitted so many games.
Every single game is against the same overpowered meta decks, you know already which cards they will play in which moment of the game, but you can't do anything. Poor me still here using one of my original decks (that no one else is using). I noticed I lost the pleasure of playing my original decks, even when I beat the opponent. This is a bad sign.
We came to a point when, apart from immediately forfeitting a good part of the games I play, I am strategically quitting games that i am winning to avoid progressing to the next rank. My target is to stay at this rank and then be relegated to lower ranks next seasons.
This way I hope to find a more breathable air at lower ranks. This if I will not decide to quit the game before.
Previous seasons I made the mistake to climb until rank 1 (I declined Pro rank) and I really regret it.
Yes Gwent is a nice game if you play 10-15 games, but when you progress and start to play hundreds of games, it becomes a toxic game that you don't want to play. It's a pity and it makes me angry. I really loved it.
Obviously I will not be here after December, I can't see myself playing this unplayable game in Gwentfinity. Why should I ?
