So many bots in Diamond it’s actually hard to lose for a change.
Strong and quite straightforward deck, takes like 5 - 8 games to completely “master” the deck and be mindful of how to effectively utilize mana and learning the mulligan.

I’m getting a little discouraged right now because I am almost running into only (seemingly Asian based on their names) bots. Yeah, they’re easy wins, but I play multiplayer games to, you know, play other players. I’m on a win streak (I forget how many matches), and still mostly bots.

Forgive me, though. Let’s not make this topic about bots. :wink:

Hope that this thread doesn’t derail as fast as the other one lol.

I am enjoying the meta now. I haven’t hit legend yet because I have been playing junk for the most part this month. Cba about playing the same meta decks for months, so I try new things. I am on D1 now with a kinda clunky undead DR hunter I am enjoying quite a bit. It is surprisingly good, but it gets really rough when you don’t draw your Buzzards.

Besides that I am playing rainbow casino mage and it is surprisingly good. The meta is looking quite nice. I see loads of warrior everywhere, particularly reno warriors, but they are generally terrible and people are severely overestimating how good warrior is now, so I am very entertained. Having enough fun to keep me engaged until rotation so the last patch worked for me.

Could you share the list
?

My pre-patch prediction was that Rainbow DK avoided necessary nerfs. Doesn’t seem wrong. I predict that it’ll steal a % or two popularity from Plague DK until VS report comes out, at which point it should steal another four or five. Assuming that the VS coverage isn’t insane.

Stonewalled at D2 again. Same thing every month. I’ll chug along and hit D5 the first day or two just casually playing and then can’t beat anyone all of a sudden. Easily 70% of the matchups I’ve had are against warrior. Bored to death with it frankly. It’s a pleasant surprise to get matched up against anything else

I’m not convinced the meta will change quickly enough to justify daily threads.

Honestly I consider a couple people’s daily threads to be spam, and it feels kinda hypocritical NOT to flag the OP here.

12

You’re definitely insane.

You can’t even begin to compare this, which is informative, to the russian guy, it’s just unfair. We need more good quality discussion.

And I appreciate this thread because then I don’t have to go to VS to search for data and on reddit to read what players think about the data

You are unhinged and need help if you flag this.

I wouldn’t compare the two in terms of quality. But I think it’s just a matter of time before somebody or other would.

The point is there’s ABSOLUTELY no good reason to make a new thread every single day. I’m not saying thread shouldn’t exist.

I haven’t flagged this thread.

But I have flagged every single one of NorthWind’s “Anniversary day #” threads. Do you see what I mean?

No I don’t see what you mean.

In this thread there is actual discussion so the only possible choice that is ‘spam’ I don’t see how you could ever justify it.

On the other thread there is one person talking with himself over different accounts, that I do see. Also this allowed the people that want to derail and keep talking about the percentages to stay on the first thread, this is a chance to recover the conversation.

I am willing to be a hypocrite and not flag this, hypocrisy on this space means nothing anyway.

I’m really seeing the Majestic rise of the Magus after those huge buffs!!

Look, I really like Kills, but the Forum Code of Conduct is pretty clear.

Italics mine. This is officially recognized misbehavior.

19

Is reporting the new data of today categorized under ‘excessively communicating the same phrase’
?
I personally don’t have the data that Killuminati so kindly provided so unless it’s illegal to share those findings with me and others who are unwilling to pay then I don’t want this thread to be taken down.

If the above is true though, and they shouldn’t share these findings with others I hope and suggest to Killuminati to take this down for their sake.

All I am saying is … that first attitude discourages people from creating actual threads.

Numbering a thread is against the code of conduct.

I wonder if backseat moderation is against the code of conduct.
