Had a match completely disappear from the Snap.fan website tracker, couldn't even go back to review it because it was snapped out of existence by ascii Thanos. Not sure how that happens.

I was watching Jeff Hoogland today on twitch while I was at work, and he logged off in mid frustration during his stream about the state of the game. It was my first time really watching hjm, but it feels like the game in a weird spot if the content creators are turning on it :/

Ubersandwich posted:I wonder if they are going to introduce a "true ladder" mode, where you just play people at your rank. No regards for CL or recent wins or matchmaking formulas, just play at (or around) your rank. Obviously they only know if there are enough people to support such a mode. As more of the player base has a collection above 600 CL, a true ranked mode may be more fun or at least interesting to see. Didn't they mention something about different competitive modes in the works? Tian a developer for the game and more specifically a designer for the matchmaker and bot AI, did a really informal interview/hangout with a streamer (Dera) a few days ago and dropped some truly interesting things about matchmaking (along with a bunch of other really interesting things). He was asked specifically why they have MMR instead of rank as the primary determiner (after CL no longer applies) instead of just using your rank. I have to paraphrase a bit (and encourage you to track down the actual vod) but basically his response was: There are trade offs. Specifically using just your rank to matchmake makes below average players feel worse as they will "get stuck" at a lower rank, average players will also get stuck at a certain rank as well. Decoupling rank and MMR is only good for better then average players, who will climb more quickly to their actual rank. Decoupling rank and MMR creates an incentive to not play the first half of a season as your competition will be softer later in a season when less skilled players finally climb to your current rank and better players have climbed out of it. He agrees the current system isn't tuned right and will probably implement a hearthstone system which uses weighted MMR for matching at lower ranks but gradually drops off towards the top ranks where your rank will matter more then your MMR. Also you can't get matched more then three ranks above or below your current rank, so an infinite player can't ever be matched with a player below 70. What it really highlights is that matchmaking and ladder play are about making players feel a certain way first and foremost and then about actually determining "skill" at the game. He dropped really interesting stats too. 50% of players are rank 40 and below 4-5% of players are rank 80 and above 1% of players are infinate. (those numbers are for players who play 30+ games a season and are last seasons stats) He was also asked point blank about "MMR tanking" at infinite and said he had a solution for the problem and seemed genuinely annoyed people could do it currently. However he also said given how few players are infinite and how few of those are actually MMR tanking it wasn't a priority (I may be paraphrasing this part to much) He also confirmed the matchmaker cant see your deck and that bots don't cheat by inventing cards they cheat by knowing your play ahead of time.

I’m sure it’s only a tiny sliver of the games population that even watches those twitch streamers. Still, it was the first time I’ve seen one that just gave up suddenly like that haha. I don’t know, it was very odd and I have no one else to share it with than you goons here.

Zeddy has released multiple scathing videos on it during and after the beta. Regiskilbin also. I'm not sure Snap is a good "streamers" game? They are all putting out content based on 90% collections, showing off decks that most of their audience can't run or aim for in any way. I enjoy the game, but can't imagine getting any joy out of watching someone else play. Plus watching whales use cards that are 6 months or so away from me getting them just highlights the grind even more.

It seems like the smart move considering every other Galactus deck telegraphs the play a mile away. Isn't the name of the game, especially at high levels, to mask your major play as best as possible to get the win? Sounds like the guy disguised his Galactus deck as a Surfer deck, that or maybe one of the random card givers gave him Galactus and they saw the chance to surprise for the maximum amount of cubes they could. Either way, I can't be mad at that play.

buffalo all day posted:theres no programming for ego/agatha, their moves are entirely random with the exception that agatha will always play herself when it's possible I think the only other consistency is that they will keep playing cards until you run out of energy (but not necessarily use all your energy efficiently). So if you have Lizard, Storm, Jubilee in hand and Ego plays Lizard it will always also play Storm. But it might just play Jubilee first and float one energy.

Yeah, it reads like a Surfer deck even with Wave and his opponent just got a perfect clean out this location of cards. Opponent just outplayed him and it just reads like a rage quit when he signs off.

Funniest thing that happens in this game is someone plays a Nova on the middle or right location turn one, location revealed and it's Wakanda, and they instantly concede. This keeps on happening to me.

I’ve figured out that I have way more fun and climb more when I’m done with work and not sober so I’ll turn on bynx or teddy Freddybabes and sometimes specimen in the background while working

I don't have the details since I was on the other side, but I played Wave on 3 across from their Electro. They started spamming confused emotes on 4, and played nothing. Turn 5 comes around and Agatha drops, much to my surprise and confusion.

Literally two games in a row today, I had Collector and Morbius on the table, MODOK in hand, Bar Sinister ready to roll...and no Swarm in sight. Stop teasing me Game! On the other hand, I won my next game against a guy whose entire turn six was throwing Taskmaster down on Knowhere (the Cosmo-like location) so I can't complain too much

I finally finally ground my way up to 70, which is my benchmark goal for the season. I have a hunch (let’s call it healthy optimism) that I have a decently high MMR cuz I play against what appear very high skill level players. Since matchmaking is tied to MMR not rank, is it basically going to be a progressively more difficult grind going forward? My snapping game is not as good as my card game, for what it’s worth.

I got up to like 82/83 early last week, and by Sunday I was down to 71, and an annoyingly high number of decks beating me were Shuri->Red Skull ->Taskmaster. Hard to counter. A couple times I got lucky with a Cosmo predicting the lane they played Shuri in, or the rare time they had priority and I could put a Shang-Chi down, but man, unlike almost everyone else I am PRAYING for that Shuri nerf. But since I just got Black Panther from the token shop, I suspect he'll get nerfed first... probably just give him a flat +4 on reveal, not a double?

Shuri usually isn't usually run with Black Panther. He's also generally not a candidate for a nerf. I'd appreciate a shuri nerf because running Aero+Shang Chi in everything (or else instalosing to shuri) is not very interesting.
