I get where you are coming from, but at the same time I think it is cool that those who got to the top can have some extra in-game bling to show for it, even long time after they might not be playing anymore, or at that level. It is just a nice commemorative item. I get you might want the card back too, and 'OCD' collectors will get crazy mad they can't have these, but I think its nice. And not like this is the first time there is a card back for competing in tournamets.
More windfury and menagerie action, im not sure i like that. The blood gems will actually make more impact as buffs than the blood gem synergy imho, but i guess we'll see. Very excited to play with the new tribe, and heroes, for sure.
Voljin i think will become a midgame powerhouse that will be able to transition into any strategy while keeping the stats on minions, or give good stats to weak minions with strong keywords, like the Spore, or any Divine Shield or Windfury guy, or Hydra. He will def be an interesting one to master.
Yeah, love her story, tho it seems like it is coming to an end. Dont see where she would go from a 10 mana 10/10 😁 that being said, she could become a champion eventually i suppose.
Good luck guys, i kinda forgot to make a card :D But iv seen a few i liked a lot! One note for future reference, if your submission needs more cards (tokens) than the prompt/submission form allows, maybe change your card. Just sayin :)
It is perfectly fine to only like certain streamers, and to not watch the event because your favorite one is not present. But consider this, Kripp is already a well established personality in the community, this would be just one more event for him, and would it be really that much "special" to see him in this for you than him streaming? Maybe, maybe not.
But another streamer might get a chance to shine and someone else might discover them and they could become their favorite streamer. Why not give a chance to "underdogs" on a platform like this? It is the perfect opportunity to do so. Kripp doing what he did actually supports this mindset, and if you like him, maybe you can consider seeing it from the other perspective too ;-)
Also, as you have stated, its not really a big deal for blizz to just break 2 extra slots. Yeah, that poster is going to look really weird, but they can do that. But if two streamers comes up and says they're taking a break, then its really blizz's call on this one, and evidently they made a choice to replace them with two female streamers. Its not about two women pushing two men off a cliff, its about two men stepping down and blizz replacing them with two women.
I think its more about the setup of the event, the format - can you add 2 more ppl to keep the structure flowing? - or the time requirement, adding 2 ppl could add half an hour to the event, or 2 hours, the time tables are relatively set, players have their own time tables they have to adhere to etc. Production has been figured out for this many players and this many matches etc.
Yes, everything can be adjusted, but probably not as easy last minute, as some might think. Maybe they simply accepted the offers from both Kripp and Regis and there wasnt really much need to add 2 more, if these two wanted to make way for someone else. I do not claim to know why it couldnt/wouldnt be 2 more instead of 2 replaced, but it for sure isnt as simple as "just add 2, done".
"earned" by virtue of being a well-known streamer/creator.
I dont want, in no way, take away their own merit and hard work, but this is a kinda poor argument, like rich getting richer (talking in general sense, not about these particular streamers/creators). They have gotten invited to events in the past, which helped them grow, so they get invited again, because they have a bigger audience now, which makes them they grow even more, so they get invited again, because they have an even bigger audience now, and the cycle continues.
I´ve just hit lvl 70 with the sweet 20% bonus, yay! Didn´t expect to reach it sooner than Monday, but here I am, 4 days after my previous post. Guess I was focusing too hard on completing my XP achievements these days :D Still 44% of them left to do..
Depends on your draft, generally when on coin, your best recovery turn is turn 3, where you can coin a 4-drop into another 4-drop, or something akin to that.
There isnt really an easy answer to this question, there is a lot of variables in any given matchup: your deck, number of wins for the current game, what you have in your hand, what you have in your hand compared to your deck, who is your opponent, what cards are in the arena pool (what to expect), your experience etc.
For the time being, I'd like to echo Demon's advice that everybody should check the Discussion Thread and start communicating with other people to avoid these situations
While that would have been the ideal scenario, not everyone has the time, nor wants to participate in the discussion, even just skimming through what could have already been thrown out there. And that is fair. Yes, it can result in a bad cases of seeming plagiarism, but we cannot avoid that sadly, and thankfully, the community so far has been honest enough that those cases are extremely rare.
If we for example were to make it mandatory that you had to look through discussion thread for what others already came up with before you submit, i think that could potentially discourage ppl from submitting, which would in the end hurt the competition as a whole.
If we see an increase in ppl seemingly copying ideas of others, there will be steps taken.
You are not the only one 😅 i thought it looked familiar, but i didnt make the connection until someone else pointed it out.

Moved to Off-topic/Video Games.
Btw, the link leads to an empty folder, not sure if there isnt stuff yet, or maybe you didnt set it to public or something?

Looking forward to new heroes :) And the new tribe, ofc!
Love the Thresh card, pretty cool use of Soul Fragments ;-)
Noxus playing Rock of Ages :D
Congratz! :)

It was a really good card. CG to the win, one more time!
Baron Geddon became a cool card again, when he got the Elemental tag and DK Jaina gave him Lifesteal :)

Very true.
Amalgam Sidekick, the ultimate Wisp powercreep and also the ultimate cutie of that statline 😎
Im half that :D
