LOL @mrt1212's widow

Sweetspotting:Blackbox = Cherrypicking:Ranked
Box is already a place where TV management is the most important thing in team building. That suits your style. Fine. But it draws away many who are not so centered on the price/effectiveness side of team building. That's a fact.
Now you go on a 7-page rant (sorry but i call things as they are) because something goes in the way of your teambuilding strategy in a way you don't enjoy.
With an attitude that even draws away people who agree with your point.
Is that supposed to draw more people in blackbox or draw more people to play it?
Or is it just a rant because you got a wrong match? |

It's not a rant, in the past I got other mismatches and I wrote nothing (even when I lost).
This time I thought it could be useful trying to suggest a TV limit to Black Box draws to reduce the chance of such a big TV gap happening again in the future.

If I wanted to be a top predator I would play Nurgle only, not fail design teams like Slann, but feel free to think whatever you want.
Amazons, Norse, Undead, Chaos Pact, Chaos Dwarfs, just to name some, are way better teams to play at low TV only.
I find quite boring playing clawpomb teams, both for me and my opponents. |

Yes, I tend to see the flaws even in the things I love. |

If you want to digress, please send me a PM, I will reply there.
I don't want to spam the thread with off-topic. |

I understand that. I don't necessarely agree but I understand.
But you did that in the first post.
We're on page 8 now.
Let's move on.
It's time to activate 2k pro elves. |

Sure, I tried to give my suggestion, no matter if it won't be implemented.
We are on page 8 because I answered to posts and other people added their posts, not because I single-handedly wrote 8 pages or planned to write 8 pages. |

Unless Vamps met that Nurgz team, this Suitability score is a result of the Random factor (0.02) and the Racial factor.
Where can we find racial factors? |

I agree with MattDakka on pretty much every point.
It seems to me that Throwreck, DukeTyrion and Purplegoo all seemed to agree with his point(s) at least to some degree as well.
Given the high skill level of these players, I think it obviously shows that there is a game, or matchup flaw which the very skilled players can see, and in various ways it has stopped them from playing the game as they would like.
As an unskilled player, being completed dominated in an 'unfair' game is also not fun.
In my opinion it would be better for the skilled and unskilled players if these quite simple issues got fixed.
It's a shame this turned in to the typical mrt1212 hijacked spam BS thread. Personally I don't see how MattDakka is to blame at all for being 'needlessly confrontational' by defending his points against what I view as needlessly pointless posts. |
