Hexing Everything to Legend!

Salesman’s, Busy Peon’s, Triangulates, Hexes, Rustrot Viper, Zola, Exodar all bad in this.
I’ve played infinite Shaman maybe 150 games and achieved almost exactly a 75% winrate in that large of a sample size-- as well as experimenting with many different cards. I won’t go into too much detail here other than saying this is just not a good build for the deck.

“Your cards are bad.”
“We had the same win rate”

Useless post honestly.
I will go a bit deeper actually. Saying cards are bad in a deck that went legend with ease and not explaining why is actually worse than useless. You added nothing but to yuk someone’s yum. You could be right. Maybe if I played a different version I would have had an 80%+ win rate. But, as it stands, you and your post added nothing of value.

The difference being he’s playing with 11-stars against much tougher field xD

This is not something you can easily prove, but him being rank 30 and me being rank 200 means he’s not gonna queue into me while we’re grinding to legend, although we’re both playing with 11-star bonus

It’s an entirely different game, so I wouldn’t dismiss his opinions that easily. And also, this is like the nth time you allow yourself to get triggered by people who only meant to be helpful. Do we really all need to be toxic-positivity-wanna-be saints to not be “useless”?

Come on, m8. You’re smarter than this. Keep that ego in check.

I wasn’t triggered. I am making a point that what he did was literally a useless post. I don’t expect toxic positivity. Other people in the thread made suggestions and I had a good discussion with them because they explained why they thought a certain way. His post was 100% useless.

Let’s say he is right. 1/3rd of my deck is just bad. And I had the same win rate as him. Am I just that much of a god at this game?

Not comparable because of:

It’s not the same game at all. A rank 30 player owns me 90% of the time, while I keep owning others 75% of the time. This comparison is worse than comparing apples to oranges.

And I think the change in your tone between your previous replies, your last reply and this one speaks for itself that you did, indeed, get triggered.

And that’s OK, it happens. Just trying to be real here, with 0 judging, and I’d expect people to do the same for me.

Now I am going to tell you how useless you are being. You are telling me what my feelings are. Don’t do that. You don’t know my feelings. I lose all respect for people who do that. Anyone who goes “uh uh I know you were triggered and I know your feelings” is instantly being a tool. Full stop.

Is being triggered a feeling, or a state of mind? Is it really the same?

And why would I care for your respect if you’re being dishonest with both yourself and me?

Yeah, not triggered at all xD

Nope, but you are showing why everyone here literally hates you and now you are pushing for one of the few people who are charitable to you to hate you too. I just don’t mince words. If someone is being a useless tool I will say so.

Not everyone. Also, whoever can hate me based on my replies, has serious issues, so it’s not my problem, it’s theirs

This is the 2nd time (that I remember) that we’re having a similar discussion because of the exact same problem - you can’t stand any criticism, even if it’s benevolent. So, I wouldn’t exactly put you in the charitable basket.

That category belongs to people who are ALWAYS charitable, like Chapuzo, Mogkupopo and a few others

And yet you expect others to. So on top of everything else, you’re also a hypocrite.

You’re on a roll!

  1. It is hyperbole to make a point. There are a ton of people here who think you are a tool. I was on the edge and you trying to tell me how I feel basically puts it over.
  2. Who did I expect to mince words? His post amounted to “your deck is bad and I won’t explain why.” What part of that was constructive, conducive to a discussion, or helpful?

I took criticism just fine in this thread. I even full on agreed that my use of Zola might not be needed. I even did the same on Pop-Up Book.

Let me add, I am not some random. I have been around world class players in multiple TCGs. If any of them came up to another player and went, “your deck is bad.” and then walked away, they would be lambasted for it.

Are you seriously posting this sentence so shortly after denying getting triggered? Do our definitions of triggers differ somehow?

The fact that you keep saying this worries me. I knew you had a fragile ego, but I didn’t know you also care so much about what others think. I don’t, and I recommend you think about how healthy for you that is.

I mean, sure, it can come in handy if you’re a diplomat or have a reputation which needs preserving, but this is not one of situations with such high stakes.

Every, if you know who he is. But if you don’t, ig you’re right. Which is why I chimed in to explain it. I imagine he’s too busy and too uninterested in average man’s affairs and troubles to spend time and energy on being diplomatic, and I imagine it because I feel the same way most of the times, and I’m not even that good as he is.

Little empathy goes a long way.

Heavily disagreed, others were just more tactful than Qwark.

And again, here we have more proofs how fragile your ego is.

I know you’re not some random. If I thought you were, I wouldn’t be talking to you. I’d just say what I have to say and disappear from the conversation, just like Qwark did, because to him, you ARE some random.

Maybe that would change, though, if you tried to speak more respectfully to him ^^

My definition of triggered is having a strong emotional reaction to something. My reaction to his post was, “oh, this is dumb and useless and I would call this out on anyone’s thread.” Was literally just eating breakfast and typing casually. No real strong emotions.

I bring up you being a tool because you are the common denominator in a ton of bad interactions. You literally spent multiple posts trying to tell me how I thought and felt. That 100% makes you a tool in that situation.

You saying “he might not have time” is the worst defense. Then he should say nothing. In the real world doing what he did would have everyone in a play group telling him off. I have empathy, but I will call out someone doing something useless.

I will be completely honest, I don’t have a strong reaction to anything on this forum. I understand most people here have god awful communication skills. I literally posted this thread and went to bed and didn’t respond to any posts till the next day. I come on here to hopefully help get a couple people to legend and maaaaaybe see a couple good suggestions.

Literally in this there there are 2 people talking passed each other.

I’m in top 10 right now not rank 30, I finished 21 last month also and I think 17 the month before, so haven’t been 30 in a while.

Also I’ll just add

What is your sample size? because as I said, mine is around 150.

I noticed the abrupt change in tone between that and your other replies. I’m sure many people can confirm they noticed the same. I would proceed to analyze every bit of it and explain my thought process, but I don’t think I’d achieve anything, so I’ll refrain from it this time.

Touche. Although, that could be said for each forum user with multiple thousands of posts on this forum. We’re all analytical, competitive and enjoy discussions. Now, that’s more common denominators than just me, which makes this part of your post:

a) incomplete,
b) manipulative,
c) inconsequential.

Oh, btw, this wouldn’t be a negative interaction if you weren’t…what do you call it? Ah, yes, “put over the edge” xD As far as I can see, every post I made was rational, devoid of emotions and a bit playful precisely to make it positive.

So, basically, what you’re saying is that if an expert in finance tells you in 2-3 lines what to change in your finances because he’s out of time to explain it in detail, it’s not helpful? Is he a teacher or a finance expert? Cuz that’s different.

I know you (and me) like to teach people. But not every expert likes, or even knows how, to teach. That doesn’t make them useless.

I really don’t know what the point of this add-on to your reply serves, but let me return the favor and be completely honest (as I usually am) - I enjoy two things the most in my life:

a) teaching, and
b) discussions.

Every b) with you is also an a) for me, because we’re two teachers, and whoever is winning the discussion is being the teacher to the other.

Now, I can’t possibly say that if I was in your shoes I’d admit when I’m proven wrong, because I can’t prove it, because I’m not wrong. But I really hoped you’d realize it and admit it yourself.

I was wrong. So I’m not gonna continue this discussion at this point in time.

Oh, excuse my attempts at defending you xDD

Jk, that wasn’t why I posted that. You can defend yourself. I legit wanted the guy to realize he was wrong to help him, but yeah, it’s not working.

I just wish we had someone who plays decks similar to mine on the forum as good as you to tell me where I’m wrong. Instead, I got fragile egos and literal tools here “correcting” my takes all day and calling me a tool for standing up for what’s right.

another use for exodar in terran decks is to remove a ship with medivacs from jaynor list in case you are planning on using shudderblock with it so it may not be a bad idea to run it

Oh that’s why you didn’t see many Zerg DKs in the other topic (I forgot you were usually top Legend). I was mainly referring there to people climbing only for Legend. The spam of them at least in EU the past week was big.

Those topics shouldn’t register to you much, since 11X go through those ranks fast.
