General Discussion / Anti-fun PvP "troll" decks - Problem?

« on: May 06, 2011, 03:17:49 pm »

Question is whether certain decks are just horrible and frustrating to play against in PvP and whether those decks particular combination of cards should be nerfed/changed in some way so as to alleviate this. In other words - change the game to make PvP "more fun". Example deck below (post more you hate if you like)

I used to love this deck, but having used it extensively in PvP I've seen a lot of people commenting on how much they hate it.
This makes me sad inside - making using this deck less fun for me (one of the original points of the deck was that my opponent would get EM if I didn't win)
These comments are really turning me off using the deck - which is disheartening since I put a lot of work and enthusiasm into it.

Frustration being that players would be stall locked, know what was coming and have to sit through it.
P.S. - I am sorry if all this thread does is raise awareness of rotten decks.
P.P.S. - Anti-fun is a concept some people may recognise from LoL, another online game

Peoples opinions and other hated decks are welcome.
Thanks,
Jaxly

Excellent links.
Great story to Shak'ars. Good deck very well explained and laid out.
Second post isn't something I would use directly but I appreciate its significance for the forums and the effort that must have gone into it.

Slight spelling mistake in the story:
"drowned and bloated or deformed into monsters that had seized to live."
Probably meant to be ceased? Not worth a downmark tbh

Perhaps this is luck or terrible memory, but I have been matched in a PvP duel even when I typed the wrong name. After a little searching I was paired with the person who typed my name even though I did not type theirs. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes is the answer to this.
I think if you look to duel one person while another is actively searching for your ign then there is a chance you'll be matched with the person who was looking for you rather than the person you were looking for. Confussy?

A + B want a game
A types B ign
B types A ign
C thinks A wants to fight him
C types A ign
C links to A first
Duel between A and C starts

Its easy to test but rarely comes up in the game since communication is fairly good.

"There are really no clear cut good guys and bad guys"

But there are characters you will start to hate with a passion.
I mean almost as if they were real people.
I seriously despise Catelyn.
Can't even write what I think of the [coitus]ing [dog of the female persuasion].
Great characters.

A bit like that but with the narrow end of the bottle meeting the narrow end of the dial and merging a little - Thanks for the help clarifying it though

EDIT:
Can't seem to get the picture up - must I edit one of the choices?

I'm not quite that eloquent but this is a brilliantly fun deck - even to play against!
It's fantastic to see new deck types in PvP - and even better when they utilize little used creatures to an actual positive effect.

I haven't the electrum to build this yet - but it's definitely a new target for me to grasp at.

Thanks for posting, ilovecandy!
