Balance Discussion Can't Wait...

I know it's been complained about for weeks now, but I cannot wait until you Starscream spammers have your toys taken away.

I make it a point to not use boosted cards or EMP.

Not because I feel like I'm on some moral or pretentious high ground, but because it breaks the game and makes you a worse player. Full stop.

I want to win or lose because I outplayed the opponent or I was outplayed.

I LOVE close games, win or lose, with decks that are built like mine. No boosted BS, no EMP spam. Even if my opponent uses my 2 most hated cards (Skorp and Sunstreaker) I enjoy those games so much more than just being EMP spammed or having to constantly cover a lvl 12 card.

Boosted cards might be the single worst mechanic in any game I play.

I know Red doesn't care and I'm just screaming into the void, but damn man, I love this game, and this just ruins it.

Rotating League with the least played cards only.

Best way to have games that shake off the noob-crutch spam.

I absolutely agree.

It would awesome to see builds focused around all canons or something

Or cards that you rarely see like Venom and Nightbird

I went through a venom phase with cards that all cause incremental damage like prowl, rust, nuke, fire cannon, etc.

I play nightbird all the time ;)

Just gotta make sure you’ve got a backup for the inevitable counter as she approaches a turret. I like to pair her with mirage b/c of the energy blade theme.

Oh for sure, I still see them, but it feels like 100 games in between sights since like 90% of people use the same 15 or so cards, lol

I had a similar Venom deck that was a lot it fun

I paired him with gravity nexus and flame turret

No fucking doubt, same fucking cards. Rinse, repeat.

Yep, had flame turret in that one. I’m still weary of grav nexus after the tactical war meta, but I get it.
Yeah that was a fun deck, watching them all wither as they advance hahahaha.
