War #8 - General Discussion

[hainkarga]

There is no good reason to edit other people's post and making them say things they really didn't. If you want to tell me or the community something, you are free to do so. If my post need to be deleted, again, do so. There is no point to editing my post and saying "oh i can edit posts lol wth, a-ham well i don't like what you are doing hainkarga roflmao. i am a moderator also i can pee without holding it".

It's been standard practice throughout the forum, most recently in the last game of mafia when several posts were made by dead players, for deleted posts that other posts were in reply to to remain in their place in the thread with a clearly designated "Moderator note" explaining the removal  Without your post, the 3-4 posts after it make no sense, but with a moderator note saying "hain's post here was deleted", thread readers can at least see there used to be a post people responded too.

@hain, I edited out the offensive/insulting parts of your posts. I left whatever was left. And I never made you say anything. In fact, I think it may be best that you say nothing since you keep getting yourself in trouble.

Now that I'm out of war, I'm posting what I predicted to be the standings before I even knew what the teams were.

12th: Earth - More upgrades -> EQ less effective. Earth can still field a lot of good deck (Immortal, in element grabbows) and Steel Golems/Upped Antlions are still more accessible, but there's still too much distance to fill as EQ gets less and less effective.
11th: Life - More upgrades -> Better access to faster decks. It's still , tho, and will inevitably start to wear out after two rounds.
10th: Gravity - While Gravity benefits so much from extra upgrades, and last war they were top 4, I feel like there's still a decent lack of power and as an element it's easy to beat in the earlier rounds. If the early rounds go well, this can go up to 6th.
9th: Entropy - Entropy gains so little from in-element upgrades, and loses so much from other elements getting earlier quanta faster with upped quanta sources. 9th may be a bit excessive, but the more upgraded war gets, the less Entropy gets strong. Micro Abomination is a gigantic nerf to an element.
8th: Water - Gains enough from upgrading, new Nymph Queen is still a beast after three wars. It's still water and it still has the water vault problems.
7th: Time
6th: Light
5th: Air
4th: Aether - In no particular order, actually. I don't really feel like Aether is going to win another war in a row. If they are, we might as well run the next war without them. All these elements gain something from upgrading, but it doesn't feel enough to break the top 3.
3rd: Death - So much to gain from upgrades, so much power against my predicted number 1 pick.
2nd: Darkness - Vampire Dagger and Dusk Mantle is a monstrous combo, and being able to splash it everywhere without losing on key upgrades is one of the strongest points.
1st: Fire - Card pool too strong. Minor Phoenix too everywhere. Fast decks even faster, stall decks not much stallier, but it's still firestall. Upped Rage elixirs are just so good. I also see Fire as kind of strong vs Darkness and Aether. As long as they don't face Death too much they should be kind of ok.

As long as they don't face death too much. Yeah...

[ddevans96]

As long as they don't face death too much. Yeah...

For reference: Fire went 2-5 against Death this war, playing them once every round Death was alive, although it's notable those two wins were in their last three matches - when it ultimately matters most.

Getting r10 1 day in advance as all matches are done would be a nice Christmas gifs dear WMS

@RavingRabbid: That is a great insight. After the war, I may write a post about the impact of this 6 upgrade rule on war teams.

[Vangelios]

Well I'm sure that the increase of upgraded cards is welcome, as well as vault  with more cards, also more upgraded cards represents better ETG.
Anyway the changes of this war was not good as I expected, but the little that changed was changed for the better.
