Help me understand why people netdeck all day long in scrub legend. I fully understand people do it to get legend, I often did it myself. Also I understand you do it when you get in the higher ranks.
But when I reach legend, Im glad I can finally ditch it and have some fun.
For example last month I was having fun with some fun decks only get to from 9000 to 25k legend. I mean dont care about the rank so its fine by me. Only to find out, people still netdeck at 20k+ legend on days before the reset. JUST WHY? You are not a pro player, and you will never be just like me, just have some fun when you are that low.
I know others, think the same because I also see 1/10 fun decks at low legend. But 9/10 its the perfect netdeck, not even ONE card difference to try something out for fun. Just WHY?
To you, hitting Legend means the end of your climb, and the start of freedom to experiment in a different phase of your play. To others, what you call “scrub legend” is something they’re still trying to climb out of to reach higher ranks.
Neither approach is wrong. Try to be a bit more empathetic and less judgmental of different playing styles.
Beyond that, you presume that netdecking is somehow dishonorable or shameful, which simply isn’t the case.
Yes I understand the climbing part. But how much can you climb at 20k legend a few days before reset. It just doesnt make any sense.
I know their others just like me because, I do see 1/10 fun decks. And often I get a “Well played” when they lose something refreshing.
I just wonder why 90% of the players dont try something new. Dont get me wrong I some how love the grind part at the begin of the month. And dont have anything against netdecking. But after 100s games in low legend, their must be something right, in someone’s brain, lets try something new. Atleast a few cards difference.
I know I can play casual and again I dont mind at all to lose rank, I just dont understand WHY people do it, when their is nothing to gain.
It might be their first time in legend and they want to see how high they can climb. There’s plenty of reasons to want to climb in ranked. Why do people complain about people trying to win in ranked?
One of the points I got out of their post is the TIME factor.
So, while I agree that people have the right to push it as far as they can, I can see there may be a point where, OK, how much farther am I going to get in 24/48 hours, let me meme it up.
Your mmr carries over from season to season. There’s a quest to win games in ranked. There’s plenty of good reasons to want to win in ranked. Makes no sense to complain about it. Help me understand complaints about people trying to win in a competitive format.
Agreed!
Once the desired level is reached then we start to brew some stuff.
I’m at diamond and I already do that.
I could net deck every single card but whats the point if I’m being hard countered by certain decks. So I try to adapt as much as my resources allow me.
The biggest problem is that we or our beloved pro streamer players have categorized legend as high and dumpster, so players try to get out of low legend level as quick as they could while doing it with the best net decked information they manage to find.
I understand competitive gameplay. But their is something about playing competitive and still having fun.
When Im playing a board game IRL with friends I still play competitive, but I also try to have fun. Im sorry I just dont understand why people at 20k legend take it THAT serious to gain a few places. And again, I understand some people are doing that. But why 90% of the people at those ranks.
Im not talking about crazy home brew non sense decks. But why not throw in a few other cards to see if something new is working.
Im certain, the game would be a better experience for everyone. Im pretty sure thats why they threw so many cards that generate random stuff, so matchups can be refreshing, else it would be just like chess.
You’re assuming that people aren’t having fun, it seems like a stretch to me. It also sounds like you’re mocking the top 1% for trying, which is bizarre to me, because it’s reasonable to assume people who play enough or well enough to get into the top 1%, will continue to try.
I find wild gold-diamond is the best place for meme fun.
To someone else, every rank higher before the cutoff may be the highest they’ve ever been.
You act as if it’s completely unreasonable to have a competitive mindset at legend. Well, the point of legend is to be competitive. It’s a self-selecting category - people who are competitive will go for it, and it’s almost required to actually make it.
A better question is why you bother getting legend at all. If fun and not winning is all you want, why wait until legend to try your jank?
God forbid someone uses’ a list of cards that is in their collection because it works.
Anyone can copy a deck, but you still need to be able to play it in order for it to work. You can have all the cards in the world, that within itself does not guarantee a win.
Simple, because it’s possible to reach legend as a free-to-play player, but then you’re in scrub legend with only your netdecks available to play with.
Some people enjoy a particular deck, which happens to be a tier 1 deck. However, if the deck in question is face hunter at legend 20000, then - probably - the user wants to finish a quest. /shrugTM
i mean, i dont try to actively climb while in legend (i usually stay around 3k), and i do craft all the decks i play myself, but there are some archetypes that no matter the “homebrewing” you do, will end up cookie cutter to netdecks.
as an example, i enjoy playing quest rogue, quest shaman and elemental shaman. Despite the fact that i made my decks myself, and there may be the odd card here and there (like my bolner and cornelius in both shaman decks), that doesnt mean much when my lists end up being 95% the same as the “netdecks”. There are only so many ways to build those decks after all.
And yes, i enjoy playing my versions of quest hunter and quest druid, and those are probably way different than the netdecks, but it’ll not be the only thing i play.
Simply put:
sometimes the decks people simply enjoy are also the decks that are high tier.
even moreso in the current meta, i have heard most people playing warlock (and mage) actually enjoying the deck. So that’s one more “netdeck” that people may play out of pure enjoyment.
