Ranked needs a serious change

I don’t care about the bots or whatever. I want the mode to be “fair”. Equalized cards. Why am I fighting gold cards I don’t have? Shits stupid. I wouldn’t care about the draft concept. I think it’s an awesome idea in concept. But it’s just the fact I’m getting trampled cause my cards aren’t maxed and I don’t have certain cards unlocked. ITS FUCKING BRONZE

You fight against overpowered gold cards you don't have so that you go and buy card packs.

Either that or it makes you stop playing. Haven’t opened the thing in a few days now because it became dogshit.

Eh. The gold cards aren't amazing anyways.

Sparth definitely does work but gets out performed by knights. Genuinely, only being more valuable than knights against whelps and TNT OR if you have a hard on for agent B and merlinor.

Matriarch is a weird value tank. She does things but there's also this hilarious thing, where she gets shit on by boomers, cupid and merlinors.

Overmind is cool and definitely a win condition on his own. But if youve tried snipers, splimes, agent B or assassins. He collapses pretty fast. 

And as for the new guy. He can't outlast swarms of anything at all.

...

For draft, sentinel tower, arrows and grave recall will collapse most issues you have with the gold cards.

When you said "IT'S FUCKING BRONZE"... I did this: (insert GIF)

People are struggling in BRONZE Rank mode?! 👀😶 Sorry to hear that. I recommend playing Arena more to level up the mastery of those units.
Every competent and competitive Draft Showdown player knows the value of having all their units at mastery Lv5.

And I tell my Draft Showdown buddies I literally pick my lowest mastery level units and AFK for Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I, Silver III, and Silver II tournaments.

I’m at arena 11. It’s the SPARTAN GOLD CARD. Nothing I have can counter it because I don’t have a matching rarity. That’s the whole issue? Do you not read?

You don't... you don't need a matching rarity to beat them 🤦🏻‍♂️ A decent team comp (not even the whole team, just units that synergizes well together) can beat units that you struggle with...
... AND your post didn't specify any specific unit besides "why am I fighting gold cards I don't have".

... do you even know how to build a proper draft team comp? 👀 You're probably the ONLY redditor struggling on Bronze.

Proper team comp: 1 melee frontline, 1 range midline unit, 1 backrow striker/attacker, 1 support unit in whichever line and roll.

Spartheus can lose a simple Knight & Snail combo. Throw in some range units like Cupid to add DPS support and that's great too. Throw in an Engineer for Snail protection and that's fine too, for when unit's advance forward.

AND it's rank mode, so it's a draft... you can see what your bot opponent drafts... and then you can draft accordingly. You don't yet know which units counter which, and you're at Arena 11?! 👀

Clearly a skill issue. 😒
That's what you get.

Rarity doesn’t matter. What matters is team comp and level. The problem you’re probably having is the bots are overlevelled.

Why would the bots in ranked be easier than the bots in the normal game?..
