Loving that defense Nicko

[Ezz]

We should just call it win the toss or force quit!
I don't see how any team could possibly recover and win if they go second against that D
Well played sir!

[Nicko]

Thanks EZZ! There's a few ways the cards can fall and they don't always mean instant death - but certainly this is the best Hold percentage I've had in a while going into Friday.

Have to say though it pales in comparison to a beta defense I had. Talismans were broken and a Gunner Golden Son would freeze every opponent - with perfect hits guaranteed by a DM - and steal fury, instantly filling the fury meter of Tailgunner Eddie ( a Gimp made Trolls and Hellhounds ineffective). It was then lights out.

My Hold percentage in its best week was 60%

Well I just fought against nicko team and I must say it was instant death.
So if anything I wouldn't consider his team great nor appealing. More so bugged asf.

I agree. It sucks

i really do appreciate nickos teams from time to time, because they clearly show how broken some chars and mechanics are. otherwise many would still try to tell the story how "strong" specific characters are. they are not strong, they are completly out of line. same for explosives, stunning for one turn could be perfectly fine but making a singlehitter into a potential 2 tuns aoe stun machine (even harpies will get stunned) is absolutely ridiculous.


edit:
btw: that we can almost compare nicos defense nowadays with the broken beta defense says a lot too

Hey Slauki - you know my Hold percentage - and it doesn't come close to those 60% Beta days

And while I see the arguments as far as some of the talisman mechanics - most are getting fixed - and I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to some griping. Players are complaining their Holds are falling - and once these Talisman adjustments occur they'll likely fall even more. AI simply can't compete with a human, so these little "broken" mechanics give the AI a glimmer of hope. Will players be ok with 12% Hold rates?

I think if the AI had 90% perfect hits we could do away with some of this stuff and still see decent Hold rates. The ability to check off whether to use power moves or not would also be really valuable. Who goes first will always be huge - but some easy tweaks like perfect hits and selectable power moves would allow reasonable Holds without having to rely on what you call "broken" mechanics.

Sarcasm at it's finest.
@Nicko the lousy Burrito.
Eat up champ, I know you love those wins.

Thanks Angel Kelly - you always charm with your posts
