As much as I do like trinkets, it is incredibly frustrating to be offered 4 garbage trinkets and then to be offered 4 more garbage trinkets. Then you have to see the top 2 players with SSS tier trinkets making them 10x more powerful than the rest of the lobby. This feels the same when the shoe is on the other foot. I’ve had entire 1st place wins based off the fact I got 2 insane trinkets no one could keep up with.
They really need to remove or buff the underperformers.
Just an FYI because many didn’t realize this change. Your first trinket(minor one) is not influenced by anything you have on board, tavern or hand like it did last time trinkets were in. The major trinkets are the ones that are influenced now. So basically play high tempo in the first few turns as normal and take what helps your board unless you get one that gives some good direction early.
I normally sit around 7k MMR playing casually. So I don’t have trouble climbing. It is just a frustration that some games you are SOL from the start.
There are many games my first trinket is just to keep tempo and level faster then switch to a real build once i tier up faster. Most of my lobbies everyone is tier 5-6 by 8-9 and everyone is just playing tempo the first 7-8 turns. Admittedly i am higher rating than you and higher lobbies tend to always tier faster(it’s why armor drops on a bunch of heroes at higher rating). At 7K if you see the lobby isn’t tiering up ahead of curve use the new dmg cap and just go pass them into the better minion and builds.
They did a good adjustment this last patch with trinket costs so players can still weave in buying minions to the board. I would say just don’t worry about the first trinket too much unless you get one that is high cost and gives direction. Otherwise take the tempo and keep moving going.
I get that you are trying to help, but none of this has to do with my OP.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to play demons and try to get a Felbat Portrait for my greater trinket! Oh look, I didn’t get it, better concede!
Yeah it sucks.
Moving the 4 drop demon to 5 made the build very difficult now as a late game pivot. you cannot eyes it anymore.
Just did a lobby where I had the minor and major beetle trinkets and the #2 guy had the get random elementals minor and random tier 7 every turn major. We destroyed the lobby. No one else had a chance.
I didn’t even know you COULD get both in the same game. Seen em before, but never both at the same time.
PS, they made Onyxia unable to use those.
It led to a near infinite right?
