Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
I sincerely had no idea there were seasonal rewards on Nuverse. How long has that been going on? Oh God, what have I missed out on?

I have to imagine that gets changed before release. That can't be right.

Wouldn't surprise me. There have been other datamined bundles that have gone from incredible value to average or worse before release.

Why does the Kamala emote trigger people so much, is it because she is a zoomer or is it just the insincerity

My response to all this is why would they bother to do all the extra work to make a hidden deck ranking algorithm that does absolutely nothing, and then lie about it instead of talking up the feature they put a bunch of work into. What does the company possibly gain from this?

Reminder that they can't even add a confirmation before you open spotlight caches, which has been coming soon since they were introduced.

they actually can... they've added confirmations before (i.e. when you try to buy something with gold in the shop). they're actively choosing not to put this in, and it's pretty obvious lovely dark pattern stuff.

It's a gambit to get transactions outside the respective mobile app store. Something epic should be doing instead of fighting windmills.

It's not even that precisely, you get points for your spending outside the Nuverse shop as well. But you do have to visit the shop to claim the rewards, and while you're there you might notice that it's cheaper than purchasing in-app.

I play Quicksilver in my deck because I constantly feel the need to have something to play in my first turn. The main locations that make him unplayable during the first turn are the Peak, the Ice Box, and Sokovia.

And it hit me how perfectly morbid it is that Sokovia showing up regularly takes Quicksilver off the board.

i hear ya, but you def. do not need to play quicksilver. even if you're only in pool one, i can think of a number of replacements that would be much better for you / your deck.

Playing Quicksilver on turn 1 probably has a near zero effect on winning the game.

As another new player, one thing that made me take a big jump was learning to not play on turn 1 most of the time. I find it much more valuable to play on turn 6 or as needed in the middle of a match.

And the early 6 drops are all honestly kinda bad until you get more tech. So the thing that gave me my first big jump was dumping Quicksilver. There's probably decks that want him in for various reasons, but honestly, he might be my least favorite 1.

Quicksilver is good in pool one if The Raft is featured, but otherwise, yeah

Heaven forbid Second Dinner allow a deck with no Series 4 or 5 cards in it to be competitive.

They're clearly gearing up to do the same song and dance with Alioth that they did with Aero and Leader. He'll get dinged down to 6/2 before they change his ability to only affect the first/last/highest power card played.

You see, 29 is much easier to beat than 30.

This nerf does next to nothing. The Alioth nerf is even stupider, no one was really playing the card for stats. Whoever above said they’re dancing around before they do “last/first/strongest” is absolutely right.

There have been plenty of times I've played Alioth in a line I was losing by 3ish, knowing that playing there would win me the game. Now it won't work some of the time.

I'm not convinced they'll aero alioth. I think they'd rather put alioth to 1 power than make her a bad copy of a bad card.

The Shuri nerf seems pretty useless yeah.

Alioth, I dunno. 5 is a pretty big amount of power if you combine it with an ability that powerful. 3 is less.

Do you guys actually play against Alioth? They use it in the lane they’re already winning and need to secure? I have never seen this “Alioth switching a lane” thing you guys are talking about, it is only ever used to “win contested lane”

Also, if anything, this more tightly restricts Shuri to the Shuri Sauron Red Skull Taskmaster deck.

Alioth nerf seems substantial, Jeff ties him and he loses to Captain Marvel, Silk, and Doombots, and if you’ve got prio Colossus ties and Armor + basically anything wins

I've been using him for a while and he's been doing fine for me. I've at least been able to hit 95. But yeah, maybe it's time I drop him for Nebula.
